BABIES DIFFER.

Some childred are born awkward, others
are adrot from tho cradle. One sees the
difference between them in this respect,
even before they begin to walk alone. The
unhandy OF maladroit baby moves its hands
and feet in a purposeless way, as if una
ware Of their mechanical powers, or incapa-
bic Of applying them usefullv. ltmakes a
bunging business Of crawling. misses its
aim when it attempts to seize IN object and
stumbles heIplessly on the floor, with the
means Of support within easy roach Of its
chubby hands. Your smart, handy little
one, on the contrary. makes a quadruped Of
itself without teaching, and performs the
tcur'of the nursery on its hands and knees
almost as swiftly rs the kitten. Place it on
its feet By chair, and it viii manage to
eireumambulate the room, by carefully and
judicicusly ayailing itself Of such "co;gns
of vantage" rs chance or design may nave
left on the route. As the boys--we are
suppcsing our examples tothe boys-grow
older. their dissimilarity viii become more
manifest. The one will drive nail With
precision, striking il plump and true at
every Elbow; the other will miss it three
times out Of five. and bend or break It IN
stead Of driving il home Observation and
care may, in the progress Of time, render
the unhandy youth less awkward, but tho
other viii improve his practical ability much
more swiftly by the salus means, So that
the distinction made between them by Na.
ture will be as perceptible in their manhood
as III their infancy and boyhood.

TEE eRANAay or rHn NORTHWEST.


Our national Development within the
past few years has been extraordinary; but
that particular phrase Of it, which has been
going on in the Northwestern range Of
States, is something really maryeiicas.--
History viii scarcely credit their rapidity
Of growth and tire solid stability Of power
which has accompanied their wonderful ex-
pansion. The seven States Of Ohio, lndi-
ana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa
and Minnesota, hold, to day, nearly one
third Of the country's entire population. -
The census gives them between eight and
nine millions, and their increase IS 50 fast
and certain as to soon render even that
liberal computation below the actual mark.
This great Northwest is the producing re-
gion--the granary Of the land--irom whence
we draw the chief necessaries Of our own
support, besides receiving constant sur
plus for the use Of foreign countries, which
give us in return theirspare capital to help
us on to further entefpri and progress,
This years statistics Of the port Of Chicago
alone seem almost incredible.
Since January last the receipts there
amount to thiry-two millions, two hun
dred and eleven thousand bushels Of van
Gus kinds Of grain, an increase over last year
of more than twenty Millions They will
foot up to forty millions before the year is
through. And this is the credit account Of
but single port It is true Chicago is the
chief Of ourgreat lake depots; but not by
any means insignificant places are Cleve-
! land, Milwaukee, Waukegan, Racine, De
troit, Toledo, Fremont, Milan, Sandusky,
and dozen others that 10 the aggregate do
an immense business. The incalcuItble
resources ofthe Northwest; her magnificent
lakes; her long nayigable rivers; her fertile
fields of boundless acres-all these must
elevate her to pitch of wealth and power
that will eventually control the destinies OF
the Union. In short time no city but
New York will be able to compete with
her splendid capitals; and our superiority

EZT The Baltimore dmerican gives the
following account of "protracted meet
ing" held in that city By the Redenptor-
lists:
ssFor the last two weeks band of Re
demptorist brothers, consisting Of Messrs.
Smulders, Giesen, Wissel, Jacobs, Duffy
and Wyricl, have been holding mission,
or what Protestants would style repi0ai,
at ST. Vineent's Roman Catholic Church,
Front street, and it has been highly success
ful. Some idea as to lie labors of these
missionaries may be forr led wien the order
Of exercises is stated. they are at work
from five in the morning till nine at night,
At the first named hour irregular discourse
is preached, and the pulpit occupied at
for instructions concerning the Catholic
faith, and at 7 p. H. third discourse. In
tile mean time, however, the confessional Is
regularly sttens!sd by the members of the
mission. The deepest interest has been
awakened in the mission. and the church is
crowded By large and serious congregations
anxious to have the Word preached and to
witness the exercises. Notwithstanding the
heavy rain and boistrous weather which
prevailed on Sunday evening, causing the
suspension ofwotship in a large number d
Protestant churches, ST. Nincent's was lit
orally crowded in every part, and the esli-
mate ct three thousand persons being pres
ent Is moderate one. Among those pres
ent were numter Of Protestants. The
mission will close tc day, when the usual
exercises will take place. Some Of the dis
courses preached 'I4re remarkable for fer
yency, earnestpess, and eloquenco.'
II is estimated, says the Baptist Exan.-
iaer, that there are in the city Of New
York about eighty-fve thousand Germans,
Of whom about twenty-eight thousand are
Roman Catholics, seven thousand Jews,
eight thousand attendants on Protestant
worship, and the remaining forty-two thou

A BRAVE BOY-AN INCIDENT or WEST.
ERN LIFE.

The following incident, which has just
occurred in the famiy of an Episcopal cler-
gyman in one Of our Western capitals, as
illustrating the habits of self-reliance and
fearlessness taught by Western life, may be
interesting to our readers:
edward, boy about fifteen, was left
at home during the visit of his father and
rnether to their friends in the vicinity Of
New York, and every night slept alone in
the house, which was situated ii piece Of
woods a mile or two from ST. Des Moin9s.
Though the situation was isolated, it was
looked upon as safe, no one supposing that
anybody would be wicked enough to at
tack boy, or foolish enough to look in a
country parsons house for plumber. But
one night last week, Ned, who slept in
room on the second floor, at the head Of
the stairs, was awakened by noise in the
rooms, below. Listening moment, and
all being quiet, he went to sleep again,
surprising that some of the dogs might
have disturbed him. After while he was
again awakened, and listening. he heard a
soft step on the carpeted stairs approaching
his room. He sprang up, seized his shot
gun, which he always kept loaded, and
springing to the head Of the stairs called
out, "Stand, or I'll fire' All was dark
but a noise on the stairs told him that some
one was not standing but moving, and he
aimed the gun down stairs and fired Al
most Immediately he heard the noise Of
something falling over ii the parlor, and
running to the window, saw man run
ming away through the woods. lie then
struck light aud went down stairs. The
door which opened at the foot Of the stairs
was perforated with the shot; and in the
parlor was everything Of any value in the
house tied in bundles ready foy removal
All the clothes, silver, linen, cutlery, and
everything movable, had been packed up
in parcels
How many boys of that age would Sc
promptly and efficiently defend their
homes

Government to make survey Of the North

great expense, and is one Of the most yalu-
able works of the kind ever given to the
world. After completing this survey he

THE HERALD
AnoMANric LOVE STORY.


The Philadelphia Inquirer has recently
published the following interesting story,
which originally appeared in the Courier
les EtatS Unas:
The Count de St. Croix, belonging to
one Of the noblest and wealthiest tamliies
III France, became engaged, after long AMI
assiduous courtship, to lady, his equal II
position and fortune, and famous for her
beauty. Shortly after the happy day was
amounted which was to render two loving
hearts one, the Count was ordered immedi-
atelv to the seige OF Sebastopol.
So he eirded on his sabre, and at the
head of his regiment marched to the battle
field. During his absence, it happened
that bis beautiful affianced contracted
smallpox, and lowering between life and
death for many days, recovered her health,
to find her beauty hopelessly lost. The
disease had assumed, in her case, the most
virulent character, and left her not only
disfoured, but scanned and Scared to such
a friohtful extent that she became hideous
to herself, and resolved to pass the remain
der Of her days in the strictest seclusion.
A year passed away, when one day the
Count, Immediately upon his return to
France, accompanied by his valet, present
ed himself at the residence Of bis bethroth-
ed and solicited an interview This was
refused. He, however, with the persis-
fence of lover, pressed his suit, and final
ly the lady made her appearance, closely
mufled in a double veil. At the sound q
her voice the Count rushed forward to en-
brace her; but stepping aside, she trem-
blineIy told him the story Of her sorrows,
and burst into tears. A heavy smile broke
over the Counts handsome features. as,
raising his hands above he, be exclaimed,
"It is Gods work. am blind!
1t was even so when CALAMITY leading
his regiment to the attack, a cannon bal
had passed so closely to his eyes, that Will
it left their expression unchanged, and hi;
countenance unmarked, had robbed him
forever of sight. 1t is almost unnecessary
to add that their marriage was shortly at.
terward soIemnized. 1t is sand that at this
day may often be seen at the Emperor's re
ceptions, an officer leaning upon the arm
OF lady closely yelled, who seemed to hc
attracted to the spot by their love of music
