Census of 1850.

As the productions Of the year just
closed form q large proportion Of the
elements Of agricultural returns to be
embodied in the coming census, it is
suggested that more than ordinary care
be taken by our people in preserving an
accurate account of the various spro.
ducts of the field; for, although the
census year embraces the period be-
tween the frst day Of June, 1859, and
the drst day Of June, 1860 including
the latter, the amount of agricultural
products is mainly determined the pres
Cnt winter, and unless some care is ex-
ercised the producer is not likely to be
prepared to make O proper return upon
the sudden and unexpected call Of the
consus-agent in the summer. In fact,
it would be we'll if every farmer and
planter would have and hold in view the
importance of being fully prepared with
a statement wherefrom the questions Of
the marshals could be promptly and
correctly answered. The reasons which
should induce preparation now on the
part Of the agricultural community arc
at later period, equally applicable to
all classes Of persons. It is q crafty.
| ing fact, and one oreditable to the intel.
ligenoe Of the American people, that
in taking the seventh census only three
persons demurred to responding to the
questions of the marshals. and they
waived their objections when appealed
to by the officer having the general
charge of that work. We understand
that timely notice will be given regard.
ing the nature Of the information re.
quired for the eighth census, which VIC
hope the public press will literally aid
in spreading throughout the land, and
it is not for a moment to be doubted
that our people, who arc to reap the
benefit Of the knowledge gained, will
manifest a universal and cheerful
olacrity in contributing each their quota
of the facts, which, in the aggregate

gress Of the nation.

influence of a Newspaper.

A schoolmaster who had been englg.
ed long time in his profession, and
witnessed the influence of newspaper
on a family Of children, writes to the
Ogdensburg Sentinel as follows;

fact, without exception, that those
scholars Of both sexes, and of all ages,
who have had access to newspapers at
home, when compared with those who
are not, are

fine words with case and accuracy.
3. They obtain a knowledge gcog-
raphy in almost half the time itrequires

familiar with the location of the most
important places, nations, their govern

ness. The school teacher! Who more
competent than he TO determine the real
value of the newspaper as an aid to ed
uoation and the development Of the
struggling mind? We prize his testi-
mony, as every one else should, and
would add in this connection, that the
primary and absolute advantage of a
newspaper in families consists in the
familiar subjects to the minds Of its
youthful members-subjects Of common
life and everyday incidents, in which
the rising generation feel sufficient in
terest, if not to enable them to oompre-
hend their purport and meaning, Ger
tainly to enquire and to desire eXplana-
ton from their seniors. The habit Of
reading uuderstandingly once acquired,
leads onward by rapid and and pro-
gressivo steps until the whole field Of
newspaper Intelligence becomes suscep-
tible of interest and cultivation. The
amount Of information which can be
accumulated by an early course Of news
paper reading, extending through the
years Of minority, cannot easily be esti'
mated.

MARRIAGES OF BLOOD RELATIVES
The Commonwealth Of Massachusetts
desired, a few years since, to ascertain
the number of idiots in the State, with
a view to arrangements for their well
fare, as we'll as TO establish the statistics
of the case. The Legislature sent out a
Commission Of Inquiry, and the Report
Of that Commission lies before me
One passage (page 90) gives "the sta

heads of which, being blood relatives,
intermarried," which he had occasion
to inquire about in the discharge Of bis

Country Bows.

Country boys often feel that their lot
is hard one. They see city-bred
youngsters on their travels and sprces,
at the age Of fourteen veritablo young
gentlemen, with a finished exterior, a
cigar and cane. The young farmer,
at the same age finds himself with a
hoe in hand, and a cheap straw hat on
his head, sweating among the hills Of
corn. He is frequently envious of his
city brother-whisking past him in the
cars, with kid gloves, delicate ringlets,
aud plenty Of money in his pocket.
Mind your corn, boy; hoe it out
clean, keep steadily to tho labor you
have in hand, do it WELL aud in good
time your good days will come too. If
you find farming is not suited to your
taste, or your strength, or your cir
cumstances; if you like mechanism bet
ter, or have a capacity for business, ,-
whatever eventually you engage in,--
it is all the same-you have begun
right. Their fathers and mothers,
will, in tho end, see it, too. Do not
feel envious of the pleasures a hot
house man enjoys, but remember, not
in a malicious, but sober spirit, that
such plants wither early. BY the time
/ you have acquired fixed habits Of in
dustry, and acquired a corresponding
perfection of mind and body, your del
icatoly reared cotemporary Of the town
begins to feel the debiitating effects
of idleness and dissipation. He is not
alone to blame for a weak body and q
profitless mind; it is the result Of q
system, but he cannot escape from its
effects; these he must endure for him.
self, in his own person. His father
may be a professional man, or a mer.
chant, or may be merely rich; the
chances are fifty against one that the
son will not replace the father, Such is
the result of well-settled experience
business falls into the hands of those
who are most competent; il does not de
scend to heirs. 1t is the country boys
after all, who do the city business OBJ
serving meu have often stated this fact
and inquire into the origin of Cleveland
or Boston, or New York, and you vii
find it to be so. All external circum
stances arc in favor Of the son or the
clerk succeeding to the trade Of the ole
! firm; but the son seldom, almost never
dies in the position of a partner of the
house. Why is it? Simply because
habitual industry is wanting-habitua
Incidence is not wanting. With all the
external odds against it, the country
furnishes the cities their principal bus
iness men. IF Intelligent, faithful anc
persevering, and above all, cheerful
and conteuted, the chances are that the
lad with the hoe will eventually do the
business of tho father of the lad in
gloves, who is now luzuriating in his
travels.

Love a Beautiher.

Congenial love can shed a rosy hue
on all objects below. 1t can magnify
defects into beauties. The lady who
was bantered at having a squirting low

squint more than a gentleman ought to
squint."
The devoted maiden was worthy of
her sex whose constancy swerved not
though her brave lover had in battle
lost leg, an arm, and an eye. When
ridiculed at the prospect of marrying
"ouly half a man, she replied, "If
there is enough of his poor body left

casket to my heart for the sake of the

Ruleg for aoverning OhlldEen.


/. Exercise your authority as seldom
as possible, and intend TO employ kind
persuasion and deliberate reasoning, but
when you exercise it, make it irresisti-
bic.
2. Be careful how you threaten, but
never lie. Threaten seldom, but never
fail 20 execute. The parent who is
open mouthed TO threaten, and threat
ems hastily, but is irresolute to punish,
and when the child is not subdued by
the first threat, repeats it over half a
dozen times, with a voice of increasing
violence, and with many shakes and
witches Of the little culprit, will GER
tainly possess no authority.
3. Avoid tones and gestures express.
i've Of agitation for trivial matters, in
dicative Of no depravity, and indicating
only the heedlessness or forgetfulness
of children, or perhaps nothing more
than is common to all young animals,
a love to use their limbs In all such
cases the tones should be kind and per-
suasive, rather than authoritative, and
the severity and even the gravity ofau-
thority should be reserved exclusively
for cases Of disobedieuoe or depravity
or for the prevention Of serious evil
A perpetual fretting at children for it,
tle things, will inevitably harden their
hearts and totally destroy parents au-
thority and influence. There never
was a frotting parent, who often threat
oned and never performed, that had d
particle Of efficient government.
