Preeions Children.

Phrenologists, from the days Of Gall and
Spurzheim, have written much in regard to
the premature development and decay of chill
dlen. In their practice as psychologists, they
found that forward children, OF which fool
ish parents are usually most proud, are, as a
rule, either short-lived, or that, if they come
into the full stature of men and women, that
they develope less character than those more
slow and backward in ripening. The last
number of the chronological Journal reads
mothers lesson on this subject, in the fol-
| lowing words: ''The business of childhood
is to grow, to grow bodily, to take on consti-
tuition, to lay in stock Of vitality for future
use. Many parents seem to suppose the bust
ness of childhood to be to get an education,
and they lose sight of the more important
part, that of getting bodily health, strength
and vigor. Put young colt into harness OF
under the saddle when not half grown, and
he remains weak and spiritless animal, i
not almost worthless, and dies at the age Of {
dozen years /; whereas, if first permitted t.
get his growth, to become strong, firm anC
vigorous before breaking into service he will
work steadily for twenty years. And so it il
with human beings; they must not be forced
In hot-house, plants may be stimulated int
flowers before their time, but they decay al
much sooner"

PARTICULARS NOTICE.

There are many preparations sold under the name
of Bitters put up in quart bottles, compounded of
tho cheapert whiskey or common rum costing from
20 to Az cents per gallon, the taste disguised by
Anise or Coriander Seed.
This class Of Bitters has caused and will continue
to cause as long as they can be sold hundreds to
die the death Of the drunkard. By their use the
system is kept continually under tho influence of
Alcoholic stimulants of the worst kind, the desre
for liquor is created and kept up and the result is
the horrors attendant upon a drunkard's life and
death.
For those who desire and will have Liquor Bit
ters we publish the following receipt Get One
Bottle Of Hooaand's German Bitters and mix with
8 quarts Of Good Brandy or Whiskey, and the re-
suit will be preparation that will far excel in med
ical virtues and true excellence any of the numer-

less. You will have all the virtues of HooRand's

DEcLEvITY OF RIvERs.--A very slight de-
clevity sufices to give the running motion to
water. Three inches per mile, in smooth,
strait channel, gives velocity of about three
miles an hour. The Ganges, which gathers
the waters Of the Himalaya Mountains, the
lottiest in the world is, at eighteen hundred
miles from its mouth, only about 300 feet
above the level of the sea, and to fall these
SUI feet in the long course, the water requires
more than month. The great river Magda-
dalena, in South America, running for 1. 600
miles between two ridges of the Andes, falls
only 500 feet in all that distance; above the
commencement of the 1000 miles, it is seer
descending in rapids and catarasts from tn,
mountains. The gigantic Rio de Ia Plat,
has SO gentle descent to the ocean that, il
Paraguay, l,500 miles from its mouth, larg
ships are seen which have sailed against tn
current all the way by the force of the win,
alene-that is to say, which on tho beautiful
inclined plane of the stream, have been grad
nally lifted by the soft wind, and even agains
the current, to elevation greater than that O
our loftiest spires. 1851 III

PAsT TRouBLEs.-Don't harp on past trou-
bles. When we see pale, nervous woman,
in the midst of her friends, preferring to
entertain them with a list of reeking pains
she has suffered, to saunter in Gods free air
and sunshine, we cannot wonder that the
rose returns not to her blanched cheek
Why 10 it that to some these memories are
very meat and drink They consume them
the bitter agony is acted over and over
again, the tears thrice shed, the place cher
ished where such dreadful thing occurred
the scar fondly peited that tells Of the
almost fatal knife. They gasp over, and yet
cling to them.

Unionism speak. for rtserc.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press,
says: eff any one doubts the success of our
armies they should have witnessed something
that occurred in Philadelphia few days ago.
The day was intensely cold; woman plainly
but neatly dressed, sat in city railroad car,
with a box On her lap, directed to a boy now
sick in the hospta at Alexandria, Virginia
moved over to the side of the car whore the
woman sat, and offered to carry the box for
her. l moved over to the side Of the car
where tie woman sat, and offered to carry
the box for her. She said, "No, sir, / thank
ysu, it is nat heavy, can carry it; it con-
tains some delicacies for young brother of
mine, who has been drummer in the Army
OF the Potomac since the war began, and the
little fellow has re-enlistod for the term of
three years. My husband is private in the
I'D Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, and
has been in all the battles in which the ARMY
Of the Potomac has been engaged, and been
In several Of the most fierce and bloody bay
onet charges. He has been sick in the hos
pital for two or three weeks, twice or three
times" The eyes of this poor woman fairly
sparkled as she added: HE also has enlisted
again for three years. 1t is long timo for
me to work and wait-but how gloriously pa
triotic our brave men are, to re-enlist as they
are now doing!" The car at this time had
arrived at the street she was to take to reach
the express Office. She took the box in he,
arms, and walked away. What an exampl,
this brave woman must be to those sneakin,
traitors who ran to Canada at the first alarm
OF draft! doubt not such brave, patriot
women will be rewarded, and when this re
bellion is crushed out, such women as thi
will be proud to say to their children an
grandchildren, they never could know th
hardship and difficulties she endured worl
ing at home to bring up the family, Will
her husband and brothers were battling fc
the glorious old flag. The names of such VIZ
men are apples of gold ia pictures of silve
They will be treasured and revered by ever
true American heart. / would now saw

AN ARKANSAS PLANTERS OPINION ON THE
NIooER QuEsTIoN.--A planter who came to
Little Rock, Ark, to get arms for Union
home guards on White river, gave his ideas Of
the great question of the day, as follows:
"Thc niger business is done up, and
there's no use talking about it. 1t don't
make no odds how good Union man one
may be, he'll lose his niggers. Ever since
the war, Old Abe has been turning the
screws down on us---frst little turn, and
then another; we don't scursly feel it, but he
keeps a turning of his screws, and now it's
got to be dogon tight. Over thar in Missou-
ri, the Union men thought they was going to
come out all right, but the screws have come
down on 'em 50 snGg they had to do some
thing--and they done it, but 'twant no use
down come the screw again, aud you sec
where they are. That keeping in Sohofeld
was for nothing but TO lake another turn Oh
the screw. Now there's Old Kanetuck; She
feels as if she was on top Of the heap, ant
she's been braggin' what she's done; blu
you wait a spell, aud you'll see the bigges
kind of screw turn dowR on her, aud if she
don't walk the chalk, she'll have her insde
squeezed out There's no use talking; tn
things all fixed, and wouldn't give dim
for the best niger you can find"

Message of the Governor of Mary
land.

At the end ofthe year just closed, the graft
flying result of all the treasury operations is,
that with no new debt contracted with more
than 100000 of the old debt extinguished,
and upwards of S37 ZOO paid to the General
Government, there is a balance on hand of
more than million Of dollars, exclusive of
cash to the credit of the Sinking Fund. He
recommends making a pension fer the soldiers
of the State, in the way of aiding the families
of volunteers er drafted men. Herecommenas
thorough revision Of the militia law Of the
State.
Referring to the subject of Constitutional
Convention, he says, with reference to the
question of emancipation II believe to-day,
as have done for years, that if we had long
ago provided for the gradual emancipation Of
the slaves of the State we should now be, as
regards all the material elements Of public
prosperity, far in advance of our present posi-
ton. The products of cur State and its nat
ural resources are not such as are adapted to-
or can be developed by, slave labor / am
satisfied that the people of this State, in thoil
utOhtntb VI hdlAll anu NttlhtEhbt IrnCSlAOhi
long since came to the same conclusion.-
When the conspiring leaders at the South
lifted their hands against the Union, and
pointed to slavery as the institution upon
which their visionary Republic was to rest
they struck a blow at its very vitals in every
border Of the State, under which it has con
tinued to languish, and which must inOvita
bly, result in its ultimate destruction. 1t be
comes us, therefore, to whom the whole ques
ton rightfully belongs, to take immodiat
measures for its removal, which should
no longer delayed than may be required by
proper respect Tor those industrial pursuit.
with which the institution has been 30 Ion
and SO intimately interviewer, and human
regard for the slave himself, which forbit
us to cast him, all unprepared for so great
change, too suddenly upon his feeble resou
ces,"
The Governor reiterates his objections
the manner in which the enlistment Of slav
has been conducted in the State, and to mi
tary interference with the elections.
