Young Folks.

Mr. EDToR:-Permit me to give a
few hints for the benefit of your juvenile
readers. | have been young, and now
am old; but even now | have the same
love for children that | experienced
when in early life. | sported with
them, and partook of their diversions.
| remember their sports and plays, their
jocund mirth, their follies and their
faults. And although children are Of
ten wrongin their conceptions of things,
and often do what is not right, they do
not mean to do what they know is es-
Sentially wrong. They are easily put
in the right way, if the right means are
used to correct them. Now l know,
Mr. Editor, it is not the right way to
fret and scold every time child hap
pens to do wrong. Ii you would make
child hate you, and hate everything
that you wish him to love and learn, be
sure to fret and storm at him when he
happens to deviate from the right way
But if you desire TO gain his love and
esteem, and wish him to make right
estimate of good and bad things, treat
him kindly and affectionately; point out
to him the wrong, and teach him to pur-
sue the right way. / love to be with
children, to witness their childish sports,
and hear their glad voices resound.
Some children, however, seem deter
mined not to do right They have
learned the wicked habits of lying, and
swearing, and stealing. They treat
their playfellows harshly and cruelty
they throw stones at them; they bite
and scratch, and strike them, and act
more like wild beasts, or demons, than
rational human beings. They are al
ways crying and snarllng; they are sau-
cy and wicked, and if left alone, they
will become pest to society. Such
children should be dealt with as their
habits and actions deserve. Fhey
should be taught the right way, and be
compelled to pursue it.
But those who are kind to each 9TH
err, who are mannerly in their habits,
who treat their superiors with respect,
whose hands and faces are clean, and
whose pride it is to appear tidy and
neat, whose actions are pleasant and
whose words are true; these gain the
affections and good will of all who
know them. 1t affords me the greatest
Joy to be with such children. They
shine as stars in the armament, bright
and glorious as the sun! A.B.L

have fallen in love, precisely as they
would be said to have fallen into fever
or an ague fit, and the worst of this
mode Of expression is, that amongst
young people, it has led to a general
yielding up Of the heart to the first i'm
preston, as if it possessed Of itself no
power Of resistance. 1t is from general
notions such as these, that the idea, and
the name Of love have been vulgarized
and degraded; and in connection with
this degradation, a food of evil has
poured in upon that Eden of woman's
life, where the virtues Of her domestic
character are exercised. What, then.
is love in its highest, holiest character
1t is woman's al-her wealth, her pow
er, her very being. Man, let him love
as he may, has ever an existence distinct
from that of his affections. He has his
worldly interests, his public character,
his ambition, his competition with other
men-but woman centres all in that one
feeling.
In woman's love is mingled the trus-
ty dependence Of a child, for she ever
looks up to a man as her protector and
her guide; the frankuess, the social
feeling, and the tenderness of sister
for isnot man her friend the solicitude,
the anxiety, the careful watching Of the
mother-for would she not suffer to
preserve him from harm? Such is love
in nob.e mind, and especially in its
first commencement, when it is almost
invariably elevated, and pure, trusting
and disinterested. Indeed, the woman
who could minge low views and selfish
calculations with her first attachment,
would scarcely be worthy Of the name
WILLIAM.

Farmers Column.
"A Thing Of Beauty is a Joy
Forever.

There are beauties of nature, and
beauties Of art, and every well managed
farm should be combination of both.
But am sorry to be obliged to say that
few farmers seem to appreciate, or care
for either 1t should be the ambition
of every farmer to make his farm ap-
pear as beautiful as possible, and beauty
may be cultivated in a cheap, as well as
costly manner, SO that no one can ex-
cuse himself by pleading poverty. Ma
ture is constantly occupied in creating
beautiful things, and does her best to
cover up deformities and unsightly OBJ
jects of every kind II there is an ugly
hedge, rough place, pile of stone, stesp
bank, or unsightly hole about the farm,
nature will cover it with a beautiful
growth of bushes, brambles and briars,
making it both ornamental and useful;
and if the untidy farmer erects crook
ed ,unsightly fence, nature will soon hide
its detormity by covering it with beau
tiful, living, waving hedge. But too
many farmers have so little appreciation
Of what is both beautiful and useful, that
they wage continual warfare against
nature. They go out armed with ak
aud bush-hooks, and cut and slash, and
waste their time and strength in des-
troying "a thing of beauty" with no
possible object in view, but doing mis-
chief aud injury to themselves and the
world. .'
American farmers seem determined
to do all they possibly can, to make q
barren desert of our beautiful land.
They remove every thing that will tend
to check the raging wind, and this bad
management has already done much
towards drying up our springs and wa
ter. courses Trees and bushes, brisrs
and brambles should be allowed to grow
upon every spot and in every place
achere the land cat be spared, and they
should not be looked upon as enemies;
but every farmer should understand that
they are bis best friends, and that be
will not be the loser if be allows them TO
occupy little strip of good soil around
the border OF his fields.
Our good old fathers, who hewed
their log houses and farms out Of the
dense forests, were naturally led to con-
slider trees and bushes as enemies TO
their progress, and we have inherited
far too much Of the same feeling.
! might speak Of many other things
about the farm, wherein beauty might
be cultivated without expense, such rs
plowing straight furrows, planting
straight rows, aud doing everything in
a neat and tasty manner, which is no
more expensive than a slovenish, waste
full method. To keep everything neat
and in order about the buildings, is
cheaper than to let them go out OF order.
1t is pleasure to see beautiful farm.
and every farmer can make his farm
beautiful if he will, and in doing so be
will increase its value in dollars and
cents, as well as in the pleasure and hap
piness it will give himself, his family and
all who see it. GEo. ]. Colby.

Terrible Retribution.

The Chicago Times relates the case of
a Swede named Rosencrist, who was
accused OF theft in that city, The Times
says: I'D. .
"On being accused, he stoutly denied
the theft, but, finding no credence was
given to the denial, he suddenly grew
more passionate, and, lifting up his hand
toward heaven, exclaimed that he hoped
his tongue would rot in his mouth, his
head would drop from his shoulders and
God strike him dead on the spot, if he
was guilty. No sooner had these words
escaped his lips, when he suddenly be-
gan to reel and stagger, and, before sup
port could be given, he fell to the floor
dead. ....
"The excitement this created among
the bystanders can better be imagined
than described Strong men stopped
paralized, women tainted, and none
were able to speak for some minutes.
The occurrence was so horrible, this ap-
parent retribution so terrible, that men
doubted their senses. But the dead
man remained PROSTATE on the fioor--a
ghastly proof Of the reality. The rumor
Of this strange and startling fatality soon
spread through the neighborhood, and
in few minutes the house was filed
with horror stricken people, none OF
whom doubted that the hand of God
was thus made visible. A physician
was called, who pronounced the cause
of death to be disease Of the heart, pro-
duccd by over excitement" ,a

Andrew Johnson and the Starving
Irish

The Detroit Post has exhumed the
following fact in Andrew Johnson'srec-
ord:
SIN the winterof 1867, during the
Irish famine, it was proposed in Con-
gress to appropriate sum of money to
purchase corn and -four to send to the
starving people of Ireland. The bill
passed the Senate and came to the
House, where its title was read, when
Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee, object
ed to it on the ground that it was "un-
CONSTITUTIONAL to feed starving Irish
men and women, and moved to lay the
bill on the table When thisgote was
taken, Andrew Johnson voted to lay the
bill on the table. In spite of Andrew
johnson the American people did send
several ship loads of corn and -four to
Ireland to aid the starving people of
that island.
