HI. ii NEW YoRK, Jan. 10. Is
The Herald's City Point correspondence of
the 9Th says Maj. Gen. Butler has been reliev-
ed of his command and ordered to report at
Lowell, Mass. The order relieving him said
Gen Grant would name his successor. Major
Gen. Ord has assumed temporary command Of
Gen. Buffers army and department.
The Tribsne's Washington dispatch says
Mr.. Blair, senior, is in Richmond, and goes
specially to see what can be done in the way
of peace. The Tribune don't think he will
succeed, and urges the filling up of our armies
and making short work of the rebellion. Blair
is not clothed with any power from our Gov
ernment, but we infer that he is authorized to
ascertain whether any true peace is now at
tainable. "a I H vi III f ;

was he children we're all like their mothers.
The father soon lost all his interest both in
wife and children. And now, said be, il we
would educate out one class Of our children,
we would choose the girls, for when they be-
come mothers, they educate their sons. This
is the point, and it is trne. No nation can
become fully enlightened when mothers are
not qualified to discharge the duties o. home
work Of education. Parents. give your dsugh-

When Alexander had conquered the world,
and penetrated into the remotest regions of
India, he heard Of Paradise, and determined
to subdue that also He was told that the
river Nithebel led to it, and Immediately or
dered feet to be equipped to carry his
troops thither, but previously dispatched
few vessels to procure information. When
they had reached the Garden of Paradise, his
people found the gate shut, and before it an
aged keeper Of singular appearance, and with
an extraordinary beard, whom they command
ed To open the gate Immediately for their
master, who was not far behind them The
hoary keeper smiled, and said he burst not ad-
NIT him unless he should find means to weigh
down feather, which be herewith sent, when
placed in the balance. The messenger was
astonished, for be could not conceive how a
small feather (since II was only light downy
feather) could have such weight. and'con-
cluded hat the old man was eering him. He,
nevertheless, went and delivered the message.
Alexander directed balance to be brought,
and II soou appeared that all the wood and
stone, and silver and gold, that could be laid
on the scale, was not sufficient to counter
poise this little feather, which made every
thing that was brought fly quickly up. AL
exander, astonished at this magical ehec +,
sent once more TO inquire what was the
meaning of 1t. The man gravely ans"ered
that the feather sgnifed Alexander cupidity
and ambition, which were light as down. and
yet so heavy, that nothing could counterbal-
ance them; but he would tell him how that
feather night be outweghed.
Let" said he, "a handful OF earth be laid
upon il, aud it viii at once lose its extrsoTdi-
nary power" Alexander perceived the mean
ing, and was deeply detected. Soon alter
wards he died at Babylon, without having
seen the garden OF delight.
