NEW NAVY YARDS.

Propositions are before Congress looking TO
she establishment of Navy Yards ct League
Island, in the Delaware, below Philadelphia,
and on the Thames, above NcwLondon, Con-
nccticut.
We beg Congress TO scrutinze these projects
closely, and nel be imPortuned nor log-rolIed
into indorsing either unless the public interest
shall clearly require it. And do not attempt to
split the difference by authorizing tro new
Navy Yards. The policy Of constructing one
moro is doubtful as to making two, there can
be no doubt at all.
Philadelphia having one Navy Yard already,
there would seem to be q good reason for pre-
ierring the New-London location for the new
one, if such there is to be. We know that the
Thames is very seldom frozen below Alyn's
Point-the water being very deepi while the
harbor of Ncw-London is admirably land-locked
by Fishers Island, just of its mouth. ANayal
station there would help to protect the eastern
entrance to the Sound and the entire coast of
Connecticut. But let US be sure that another
Navy Yard is needed before any new one is
authorized in these times.

The bill now pending before the Legislature

Commissioners, to be balanced by Messrs. Acton

and the time was evening, wher sleep is
so apt to fall on young eyes; vet there
was not sleeper in the whole house.
The sea of young faces was all turned
radiant on the orator; he was the cen
ire for two thousand eager CHANGING
eyes, and for more than the time usually
occupied by sermon, he held his audi
ence by the ears. It was great achieve
ment, and how accomplishing In very
simple way. Shifting the action to the
word, and drawing on his own observa-
ton and experience, he told them stories
Illustrative of the labors and purposes,
Of the difficulties and dangers of a Mis-
sionary life. In giving this form to an
address which was not childish, though
suited to the children, he dextrously
availcd himself Of one of the strongest
and earliest developed principles of our
nature. How often have we seen rest
less boy, whom neither threats nor brides
could quiet, sit spell-bound by a nursery
tale.
We suppose that j. B. Cough, the
celebrated temperance lecturer, succeeds
well in addressing the young. But
neither Motfat nor a Cough can be
initiated by ordinary men; still, we be-
lieve, that ordinary speakers could gen
orally interest children if they would
try. Our most instructive lessons are
to be drawn from the manner and mat
ter of our Savior. Unlike dry bones,
mechanically put together, our Lords
addresses were life-like pictures; and
the common people heard him gladly.
What is so attractive to the common
people savors much of what interests
the young. Man has three-fold char
acter; he is being possessed of reason,
of affection, and Of imagination. The
emotions of the heart awake up in the
child long before its reasoning faculties.
Hence the heart requires the earliest at
tention. Besides, this logic is dry, love
is unctious. Love has voice which
can make the heart hear when it is deaf
to every other sound. Love has fingers
which can find out delicately the chords
of the human heart, and play sklllfully
the music of joy and gladness. We
have learned by experience that the on
ly key which can unlock the heart of q

love.
