New volcano in Mexico.

Mr.. John Xanthus, United States Consul
at Maosanilla, writes from CoIina, March
18th, to the Smithsonian Institute, anuoun-
cling the breaking out ofa volcano there, as
follows:
"The whole town is at prese:it in stale Of
extraordinary excitement, news having come
that new volcano broke forth yesterday
only six leagues from town. The eruption
came so suddenly and was so violent that
the Armeria river was filed up bya barri-
cadc of elected sand, mud and stones TO a
height Of over one hundred feet. The riv-
or, Of course, was stopped from coming down,
and it is said that north Of the barricade
the river is running back and inundatiug the
forest for leagues. The volcano broke out
on the top of hill only about one hundred
and Fifty feet high above tho level Of the
Armeria river, but it is said to be growing
alarmingly every hour. For the past three
days we had many heavy earthquakes.

Three Pie,ures.

The following poem Of surprising sweetness
will find response with many Of our readers
who have learned in the bitter experiences o
the past that somebody is "waiting FOR mel"
There is form Of girlish mould,
Under the spread Of the branches old
At the well-known beachen tree
With the sunset lighting her ircsses Of gold.
And the breczes waving them, fold upon fold
Waiting for me.
There is the sweet voice, with cadence deep,
OF one that singeth our babe asleep,
And often turns to see
How the stars through the lattice begin 10 peep
And watches the lazy dial ereen
Waiting for mc.
Long since those locks are laid ia the clay,
Long since that voice has passed away,
Or earth no more to be;
But still in the spirit world afar
She is the dearest Of those that are
Waiting for me.

Emancipation in the Dis,rics OF coinIn.
hin. ~. 10 ~

bIa.
Occasional" writing Of fcbanges in Wash
ington within the past two years says:
"None Of the signs Of the times are moro
significant and suggestive than the complete
triumph Of the policy Of emancipating the
slaves. It is estimated that there are near
ly ,hirty-thousand colored persons in the
District; yet, notwithstanding the great
clamor created by the act Of emancipation,
there has never been more order. decorum,
and general propriety among this class.
The odious laws which operated TO oppress
and degrade them in former years, have
been repealed, and the effect has been sal
uiary upon them and all other classes.
This revolution, SO bitterly resisted 10 latter
years, belongs TO the reforms 'Ohich can
nerer be tndone. No, never in the future
can slavery be restored to the District Of
Columbia. That foul stain has forever been
removed, and so peacefully and effectively,
that have often found myself wondering
that any reasonable man could have objec-
ted TO il. The loyal Shareholders have
been compensated for their slaves, and
many who believed they would be ruined
in the event Of emancipation, do not hesi-
tate to say that in parting with their hu-
man cbattels, they have really been tho
gamers in pocket and in heart" irirJ

Our Hopes Compared with those OF FOR

A collector Of statistics writes thnt Amer
leans know but little Of military disasters.
The Copperhead croakers who are trying TO
bring about disgraceful peace by eulafg-
ing on our losses in the present war, should
recolect the frightful losses suffered by the
French 10 tho famous Russian campaign.
NapoleoD's army Of invasion consisted Of
soi ,0f6 men and 103,s54 horses. During
tho short campaign of ninteen weeks and
two days, the losses Of the French, purely
military amounted to the enormous number
of 247,0o0 men and 1000 horses! These
statistics are derived from official statements
Of the War Office Of Paris. But other
French armies, besides tbst under the i'm
mediate command Of Bouaparte, entered
Russia, AID took par, in and prolonged tho
campaign. The total force numbered e47,
600 men, Of whom 100000 were eomba-
tants. The number Of those who got out Of
Russia was $4,000. Theloss Of the French
then, during that brief campaign Of twen
ty Eve weeks, was therefore 562, 900 men

A few days since couple of gentlemen
Of this city on fine afternoon, visited the
top Of the Court House. They were great
ly surprised upon looking to the northward
to SEQ one Of the most beautiful mirages
they had ever witnessed. The lake was
narrowed down to the size of a wide blue
river. Upon the opposit side were seen, as
| ifbut a few miles distant, fhfns, fences,
clumps Of trees, DE. Away TO the northwest
WAS seen country covered with snow.
The spectacle continued about an hour,
aud thea disappeared like a dissOlying view.

appearance can be accounted fofupon scien-

given you some faint idea of his image, anG

The only wish of the Baroness Roden.
stein, which never could be accomplished
was the possession of the portrait of her
youngest son; for no consideration could
induce Max TO allow his likeness to be ia
ken. His old nurse had always told him
that the moment his portrait was taken, he
would die. The condition upon which such
a beautiful being was allowed to remain in
the world, was, as she always said, that bis
beauty should not be initiated.
About three months before the battle OF
Leispsic, when Max was absent at the Uni
versity, which was nearly four hundred
miles from Rodenstein Castle, there arrived
one morning, large case directed to the
baroness. On opening it, il was found to
contain a picture-tbe portrait of her son.

MIND WHAT You SAY BEFORE CHILD
REN.-A man was in the habit of calling
at neishbor's house, and the lady had
always expressed much pleasure in seeing
him. One day, just after she had remark
ed TO him her happiness from his visit, the
little boy entered the room. The gentle
man took him on his knee, and asked -
Are you glad to see me George p
"No sir" replied the boy.
/" Why not, my little man."
Because mother don't want you to come,
said George.
Here the mother looked daggers at her
little son, and her face become crimson, but
he saw nothing.
"Indeed, Z" how do you know that 2"
because she said yesterday she wished
the old bore would not call again

Schools.

Read the following excellent suggestions
about schools, by the Editor Of the Amerii-
can Agyicultaraa
The man or woman who drops into the
schoolhouse often, and shows an interest in
the pupils and in their comfort, is public
benefaetor. Both teachers and scholars
are encouraged to good behavior and to
extra efforts. Who does not remember the
stimulus to the whole school, Of . visit
from parent. or other person2 A school
visited two or three times week, the vis-
ltors insisting that no show or change Of
programme be made, but that all things 90
on in regular course, will generally be twice
as prosperous as the school never visited.
No one should have others to attend to this
matter. The public school should be the
pet and pride of every good citizen Of the
district. Visit it often as a recognized
friend, not morose critic If the good deeds
be sought out and appreciated, an occasional
hint for improvement, in a kind tone. will
be kindly received and acted upon by both
teachers and scholars. Speaking evil or
disrespectfuly of the teacher in the hear
ing OF your children, or TO those who will
repeat the words in heir presence, inficts
lasting injury upon them. Get the best
teacher possible, and uphold him, or her,
SO long as employed, for the chi1dren's sake.
we have known a school deprived of all
efficiency, by tboughtless word about the
eacher dropped by parent in the pres
snce of his child, and repeated by the child
% other scholars.

One of the best little things farmer
can DO, is to split up two or three cords Of
wood Tor summer use as fine as the finest
kindling wood. Many farmers wife is
compelled to do her work in hot weather
over a heavy fire of coarse wood. She
wants fire that will blaze well to her
teakeitle, but which will moi throw out much
heat into the room. Some of the best
