It seems that the love Of liberty and
of country had not really died out Of
the hearts of the people. The first
breath of the storm which threatens to
sweep the nation has revived it, and it
burns with as pure and bright flame
as in the days of the Old Revolution.
Stories Of individual heroism and sac
rifce are on every tongue and people
celebrate all the incidents Of volunteer
ing with generous applause.

JNO. A. TRIMBLE

To THE EDITOR OF THE HIGHLAND
NEws:-I have just been informed Of
the receipt by John A. Trimble, of
HiIsborough, Of an anonymous let
ter, charging him with disalIection to
the cause of the Union and the Consti-
tuition, &C., &c.
The letter also contains some ntima-
ted threats and demands that Mr. Trim
Bile shall make an explanation and def
milton Of his position. I am familiar
and long have been with Mr.. Trimblo's
views on the condition of the country.
and the duty Of the citizens of the
North; and know that the charges
made in the communication mentioned,
are not true Mr., Trimblo fears moth
ing, because of threats. BY my advice
he declines making the explanation de-
mauded. The demand ought not to
have been made. Being made, it ought
not to be answered by Mr. TrimbIe.
Knowing Mr.. Trimblo to be right and
having had his personal good wishes and
aid in getting up the Hillsborough vol,
unteor company, I think it is due to him
from me to say thus much in this way
in his viudication. j. SLOANE.

Hints for the Nursery.


The natural faculties OF each child
are as plain to careful observation as
the sun at oOn-day; and it is only ne
cessary to know the mental bias of a
child to which his or her rpowors are best
adapted.
Let every father, every mother, and
all who hope to call themselves parents,
forever bear this in mind, Watch the
child at its play. Suffer 1t to play as It
will, and note what sport attracts 1t, and
wherein lies the CHIEF pleasure.
Away with those horrors, infant pho
nomena. Let nature alone, and doyou,
ignorant man, keep your great, coarse
finger out of the delicate machinery,
which, working by and through nature,
will at the proper moment indicate the
course to be pursued, the development
which is sought. Permit childhood to
guide you in the treatment thereof Ma
ture is a wise teacher.
At infancy the healthy body, inca.
pablo Of progressive motion, demands
rest; give then perfect quiet. Mans
early life is a mere vegetatvo existence;
the brain, gently puIsating beneath the
Uniformed bone, is not yet the seat Of
reason, but of instinct While Nature
then demands entire reposc, or at the
most, passive action, why should a bar
barous nurse and ignorant mother ar,
ray the little form in thick embroidery
display it to the admiring multitude
handle it with humping vibration, or
spin it like a boomerang in the air?-
Why seek the most noisy promenade Ia
confuse it with the uproar? Why pound
it up and down over hundreds Of miles
In the midst Of smoke, ellluvia, and all
the rattle, noise and screams incident
to railroad travel? Avoid those abomi
nations called cradles flee from the
rocking of the crib, and all those swim
