The little lads and lassies cry to-day,

Fosdick's cutoff was not bad. He spoke Of
the Demoss House, as Demos. .the-nese, with
the knees cut off.
How shall the plum tree be saved from the
ravages Of the curculio, its persevering enemy?
On Saturday, Mr.. VIM. F. Irwin, of Avondale,
presented samples of his plums to the Cincin
natl Horticultural Society, and stated that his
orchard is inclosed with high picket fence.
THAT, we suppose, is protection against an
other enemy-the boys; we knew what picket
fences were for, when we were bOys.) He
further explains how the chickens keep of the
curculios. He keeps the surface of the ground
under the trees, covered with coal ashes, in
which his Shanghais and Brahim poultry
delight 10 wallow and dust themselves, and
snap up every stray Turk of a curculio, who
| has temerity enough to enter their domain
He obtained the premium for the best three
varieties.
Tho parent says to the boys, this morning,
being the opening day of the public schools
Haste thee, sclool-boy, haste away,
Join no more the laggard's play;
Quickly speed your steps to school
And there mind your 4eacher's rule.
James E. Murdoch, the American Tragedau,
has snug farm near this city, in Clermont
County, where he repairs at intervals, for re-
pair; for an accomplished actors life is one of
labor, and "tired natures sweet restorer" is
rest, as well as sleep, and tho rustic delights of
the shelter of ones own vine and fig tree, with
the fresh home fruits and table food of coun-
try garden Of ones own, is worth all the pam-
pered iuxuries of city: Health and relaxa-
ton to you, Murdockl
What terrible record the statcian keeps
In France, country of moro than thirty mil
lions of people, the figures show that the same
number Of crimes, committed in tho same mode,
are reproduced, with but slight change, each
year. Our Clerks Of the Police Court keep in
round, full hand, the sorry record of men and
women breaking municipal laws, treading, as in
round, the weary tramp of impetuous passion,
unrestrained indulgence in maddening drinks,
disorder, crime, Incarceration and deterioration
in prison. Taxes arc not paid as regularly to
DR.. Fries, at the Treasury, as the tribute of
crime is paid to Judge Lowe. Tho pervsrsity,
ignorance and indifference of offending men
1on hui L.
as Professor Mansfield says, by changing the
elementary conditions which produce them. AS
far gone, then, as this race are, parents, by
means of education and virtue, can save the
rising generation.
As this happy Monday morning opens, let
parents devote themselves anew to the moral
culture and physical education of their children,
How the beauteous morning breaks,
And each eye from slumber wakes;
What so happy children makes,
As our Common Schools?

The man borne on Blondn's back while
crossing on the rope the Niagara River, a short
distance below the Falls, was his agent, Henry
Colcord, twenty eight years of age, and one
hundred and thirty.two pounds weight. The
reporter Of Buffalo journal says of the feat:
We stood by the gentlemen as they were
preparing to start, and not culver of mus
Gle or shade Of fear was perceptible in either.
We were astonished at their cOolness, for they
had great and perilous undertaking before
them. Every thing being ready, at half-past
five they started; after walking q short distance
they stopped; Mr.. Colcord removed his arms
from Mr.. Blondin's neck, and his legs from
their position in the iron bands, and standing
upon the rope, rested for three or four minutes.
When ready to start, Mr.. Colcord easily re-
gained his position. The walking was very
steady, considering that weight of over two
hundred pounds was being sustained by the
rope. The time occupied in crossing was
thrty-fve minutes, as they rested seven times.
As they reached the American side, the excite.
ment was intense the performers being borne
off on the shoulders of the enthusiastic crowd.
This feat which Blondin has performed was
thought impossible by nearly all, for it was
feared the rider would become frightened, and
thus cause Blondn to lose bis balance. The
banks were lined with people as far as the eye
could reach-probably the crowd was greater
than at any previous crossing.
Henry Ward Bcecher likens the melange
department of a paper to the stuffing of a
Thanksgiving turkey, representing every
thing in the house, oysters, crusts of bread,
crackers and all spices.
Money got by gaming is like a pyramid
built of snow.
