Mas PARr1SGroN ON oSGEvrry.-"pve always noticed" said Mrs. Burlington, drop ping her voice to the key that people adopt when they are disposed to be philosophical or moral, I've always noticed that every year added to mans life has tendency to make him older, just as a man who goes on jour pey finds, as he jogs on, that every milestone brings him nearer to where he is going, and farther from whence he started. l havn't got the exorbitauce of feeling that l had once, and don't believe l shall ever have it again if I live to the age of Methuseleh, which, heaven knows, 1 don't want to.

The following is said to be an excellent mode of quieting babies that cry in the night time:
 "As soon as the sweet little creature awakes and begins to squall, set it up in bed, propp.ed by pillow if it can't sit alone, and smear its fingers with thick molasses then get half a dozen feathers into it's hands, and it will at once commence picking the feathers from one hand to the other until it drops asleep. As soon as it wakes again, more molasses and feathers should be applied immediately, and in the place of the nerve astounding yclls o the little dear, there will be sweet and calm silence, producing the most profound enjoy ment and rapturous domestic felicity. A tea cup with molassesacan be kept at the head o the bed, in stand drawer, ready for use Syrup is said to be preferable to common mo lasses."

A WIPES PRAYERS.

:. How escaped, know not perhaps my wife prayed for me-"
 IL his wife prayed for him, that accounts for his escape. We know of no more favora. ble sign from which to hope for mans re. formation. Many men, apparently on the verge of ruin. have been stopped siu their downward course by the indirect influence, so far as the human eye could see, of wife's prayers. That is an influence which, though unheeded for time, is at length felt in its ac- cumulated force and the result astonishes those who never thought of its potency. And
 loving, patient wife, continue in prayer. Your steady efforts seem to you trutless your con- stant desire to save the errihg, seems vain. You feel weak, utterly wanting. So seems the soft dew, quietly falling, aud the breeze nolseiessly moving the herbage. By-and-by, the blossom puts forth in beauty and the si- lent sunshine, daily returning, ripens the fru.t.
 Woman, pray, if you would save the dear ones. Watch in season aud out of season but pray. Work on. on and through ali toll, sorrow, weariness, hopeessness, pray. An answer will be given. Wait, in prayer it will come.

Gen. Scott had warm reception in New Orleans on the 9th inst. He was welcomed by Mayor Stith, in the course of his reply, to whom he stated that his first advent in public life was made in New Orleans, having been when young man, scarcely of age, detached on duty to that city. The party then pro ceeded to breakfast. The stoker of the tram as the General came from the boat, leaped oii from the engine, grasped the Generals hand saying, :: I served under you in Mexico" A hearty grasp of the hand was returned, ane General Scott inquired kindly after his health II voted once for you for President" added the stoker. "But it did him no good" salt by-stander. It did me good. can nev CT forget my General" replied the stoker with fervency which showed his heart wal 1 in the speech.

RELIGION THE BEST TEST Lord Bureigh, one of the greatest statesmen of England's most glorious epoch--the age of Queen Eliza beth--used to say, I will never trust any man whose religious principles are not sound i; for he that is false to God can never be true to man." This, dear young friends, is doubt less the experience of many others, as it only another form of expressing the great truth contained in the words of the Apostle John : |" If man love pot his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen ?" He that fails in reverence to God, will surely lack difference toward his fellow men one that can, all unmoved, receive and enjoy, day by day, the many blessings Of bountiful Providence, we can hardly expect to find eyincing gratitude for the minor blessings he receives from those about him /; and he whc can lightly set aside or disobey the laws of his God, will not be likely to prove an obedlen' child or an orderly citizen.--Reaper.

ONE LANGUAGE.-I have heard of Hin doc and New Zealander who met upon the deck of a missionary ship. They had been converted from their heathenism, and were brothers in Christ, but they could not speak to each other They pointed to their Bibles, shook hands, smiled ill one another's face, but that was all. At last happy thought occur red to the Hindoo. With sudden joy he ex- claimed, Hallelujah l" The New-Zealander in delight cried out Amen l" Those two words, not found in their own heather tongues, but given them by the Gospel, were to then the beginning again of "oue language and one speech"

MT. Barnum's first lecture on Money Ma king at St. Janes's Hall, London, was sue cess, an "apotheosis of notoriety," to use the expression of the Loudou Times, which says !:
 If MT Barnum has got nothing else by the admirng throng who pushed, and listened, had he dt$ fbssfsg os S asges ste few tame bulls, he can now describe the ea- gerness of John Bull to see the most enterpr- Sing of Yankees. Whether huge multitude appIauding an orator for deliberate panegyr- ic of humLug" may be considered as sign of tie high moral state of a nation, is point that we will not here discuss. But We are bound to admit that MT. Barnum is one Of the most entertaining lecturers that ever address ed an audience on a theme universally mtell'- gibIe, C:cero's great work De Ofhclis" IS not more systematically drawn up than MT. Barnum's discourse on the particularly prof. table virtue to which he has given his atten- ,ion. and thus the fun attached to a series of successful mpositions is heightened by their euvelopment in a grave ethical essay. The appearance of Mir. Barnum, it should be ad- dtd, has nothing of the "charlatan" about It, but is that of the thoroughly respectable. man of business and he has at command fund of dry humor that convulscs everybody With laughter while he himself remalnS perfectly serious. A, sonorous voice and an admirably clear delivery complete his qualifications as lecturer, ill which capacity he it no "h hum buzz ,ei,herin the higher or the lower sense o the word.

| DIDN'T THrNK.-Walking in the eSontr, one morning, in early spring time we xeatee ourselt to rest cn large stone near aI1korch ard gate. Very soon we observed as larg, man hanging to the topmost limbs of a ssmal apple tree with one hand, while with tbesethe, ne was cutting off twigs and branches ", oade him good morning. He answered cheer. iully and we ventured to hint that tie tree he had climbed bore heavy burden. .Yes :, he said, "t the trees all need pruning but I can only attend to few of them. Ths oth. CTS wouldn't bear my weight"
 Why don't you fasten your saw to q pole stand on the ground, and prune such limbs as most require it 2" we asked.
 "Well, I declare" he answered, 2" that wonld dol didn't think of it."
 There was valuable lesson in that econfes- slon-"l didn't think of it." It explained why, ln many respects. the farmer was not prosperous. He was hard worker. He el- deavored to be economical but he was a- ways behind His orchard didn't yield abun- dantly-hls cattle had dsease-his grain was often poor-and he could only sell at a low price, because he didnt think. He had never learned forethought-h did not know what it is to consider-he did not know how iudicious head-work assists hand-work
 Didn't think-that is the sorry explanation Of much error-of many crime--of many a faIIure--of many hardship, and many an abuse 15s

And it will go on. Southern officers will command our naval vessels along the coast where the traffic is carried on and the cargocs landed, who will not sacrifice the precious CD lives of the scoundrels who run in the cargoes. Grand Jures will refuse to indict, and ut the proper time the case will be carried to the Supreme Court, and there decided that Congress has no right to interdict the accursed trade It belongs to the States.

DEATH BY HoRNETs.-The following is an extract
Of letter from India which appears in the London
Times
most melancholy accident occurred here on the
10th inst. Two European gentlemen belonging to the
Indian Railway Company, viz Messrs. .Armstrongand
Boddington, were surveying place called Bunder
Cooda for the purpose Of throwing bridge across
the Nerbudda the channel of which, being in this
place from ten to fifty yards wide, is fathomless hay
ing white marble rocks rising perpendicurally on
either side from 100 to 15O feet high and beeling
earfully in parts Suspended in the recesses Of
these marble rocks numerous large hornets nests,
the inmates of which ready to descend upon any
unlucky wight who may venture to disturb their re
pose. Now, as the boats Of these European sur
veyors passing up the river cloud of insects
overwhelmed them !; the boatmen as we'll as the two
gentlemen jumped overheard; but alas Mr.. Bod.
dngton, who swan and had succeeded in clinging to
marble block, was again attacked, and being unable
any longer to resist the assaults of the countless
hordes of his Infatuated winged foes, threw
himself into the depths of the water never to
rise again. On the fourth day his corpse was dis.
covered floating the water, and was inferred with
every mark of respect. The other gentleman, Mr..
Armstrong, and his boatmen, although very severely
stung, are out of danger. This sad occurrence has
cast a gloom over the small town, the more so as two
young railroad engineers engaged on this line few
weeks ago were barbarously murdered by the rebels
| at place not hundred miles from this town.
