A twig cultivated TO bear single bud,
often delights tho eye and overilows tho
soul with moro pleasure than n glutton's
dish or vain FOOLS attire. It's the beau
tiful that olovates that man. What q

the beautiful that dissipates this stern
ness. A home made beautiful by content
ment, Is of itself adorned and made more
attractive than those where liveried hands
raise the latch, and conduct you through
halls Of gilded brightness to cham bers Of
satin and damask. Those are not beauti-
ful homes to our conception Of the beauti-
full, unless love lights the fame on its al
tar, and peace imparts its incense to all
its shr;nes. Added TO these the banda
must contribute their share towards cres-
ting and multiplying the beautiful in
this world. And this Is easily accom-
plished. It costs nothing but time, in
wolves only little patience, and the beau
atoms of o fairy dream.

don Times is the following ,extract
from y letter dated Cape Coast Cas-.

The atrocities at Dabomey have far
exceeded the report Of which you
are aware. Thousands have been
sacrificed. Latterly came . steam

1900 slaves. A man-of.war being
on the spot, saw the vessel, but

We hear that English people and
other Europeans have been impris.

refusing to witness the human ga
crihoe, or take part in the rites Of
diabolical superstition.

Errror or Music IN the CONVERSION o

Errrcr or Music IN THE CONVERSION OF
SAvAars.-Nolroga a Brazilian Jesuit, had
q school, whore he instructed the native
children, tho orphans from Portugal, and
tho Dlssiisos o. mixed b-oed. Reading,
writing and arithmetic weretaught them;
they were trained TO assist at mass, aud %
sing the church service, and frequently lod
In procession through the town. This had
a great effect, for the natives were passion
a,oly fond of music so Passionately, that
Nolrega began to hope the fable Of Orphe-
us, was typo of his mission, and that by
songs he was TO convert the pagsns OF
Brazil. This Jesuit usually took with
him four or five Of these little choristers
on his preaching expeditions ; whom they
approached an Inhabited place, one carried
the c.doifx before them, and they began
singing the litany. The savagos, ike
snakes, were won by the voice Of the
eharmer they received him joyfully, and
when he departed, with the same ceremo-
ny, the child'e en- followed the music. He
set the catechism, creed, and ordinary
prayers to sol ia; and the pleasure OF
learning to Eing was such temptation,
that the little Turpis sometimes ran away
from their parents to put themselves un-
der the care Of the Jesuit.

Mr.. Morrill, has declined a reelection, but
the feeling prevails so generally in favor of

strong hopes are yet entertained that he
will finally be prevailed upon to revise his
decision, and consent again to receive the
ssufferages of his constituents whom he has
served with so Rpch credit and distinguish.
ed honor. From our best sources of in.
formation, we think we are warranted in
saying that the reelection of Mr.. Morrill,
would be the almost unanimous wish of the
Republicans in this section. Our own po
sition on this subject is well understood
As matter of sound principle and goot
policy we have favored his reelection, no
only because he has proved himself so wei
fitted for the post, but because he now ha

I've sincerely believe il to be for the bes
interest of this district and of the country
that he should be returned, and in this opin
ION we believe we have the hearty concur

trict, again, then let us select the best ma
