DAILY NEWSPAPERS IN THE FAMILY
CIRCLE. value Of daily news
paper in a family circle can scarcely
be exaggerated. This is essentially
true at this time, when the daily pa
per has become the record OF all that
has transpired worthy of note, not
on this continent only, but in Europe,
during the twentyfour hours preced-
ing its publication. But it is not
merely vehicle of news. 1t con-
tains vast amount of valuable in
formation of all descriptions, many
instructive essays. and comments on
the news which it records. If intel
ligently conducted, it will prove q
valuable teacher, and most impor-
tant agent in advancing civilization
and elevating the national character.
A family OF children who, for Sc
ries of years, have had the privilege
of reading the we'll stored columns of
q daily journal, will be far better pre-
pared to enter upon the duties of life,
will appear better in company, and
acquit themselves much more credit
ably in the discussion of current to-
PICS, than If they had been suffered
to grow up in ignorance of
what was going on around them.
The instruction of the school-room is
technical, and, while indispensable,
necessarily fails to include o vast
amount of knowledge which comes
under the head of general informa-
ton, and is best and most pleasantly
learned from the journals of the day
BESIDES this, daily paper increases
the attractions of home, adds to the
variety and interest of home CONVEX
sation, ard in many cases induces
father and son to remain at home in
the evening, when otherwise they
might be seeking amusement abroad.
Thus it exerts an excellent infu-
ence. and powerfully aids parents in
keeping children from outside tempt
atoms.

NEW GLASSES FOR WEAK EYEs.-A
recent discovery, that was purely sci
entltic In its origin, has led to a fur
ther discovery of means of relief for
persons who are troubled with weak
eyes. Some time since, it was made
known to the Paris Academy of Sci
ences that lens, or glass, covered
with thin film of silver leaf, would
enable person to gaze at the sun
through it without the usual painful
dazzle and glare. More recently, the
Academy received a communication
from another member, in which he
described an application of the above
mentioned discovery for the protec-
ton of weak eyes. His own sight
had been impaired in the course of
some chemical experiments, so that
the light had become painful to him,
and he had recourse to the ordinary
colored spectacles used in such cases.
He used spectacles with black glasses,
at first; he then put green glasses
over the black ones. These answered
tolerably we'll, but he ultimately took
set of blue glasses, which he had
covered, as above, with thin film of
silver leaf. These answered the best
of all, and afforded him the relief he
was seeking after. A film of gold leaf
over 6he glasses has a similar effect.
The light transmitted is very plea
SAINT, especially in the case of gold
leaf. The latter, when yellow, lets
green light pass; when green, THAT
is, alloyed with silver,) the eye re-
celves blue light. He, therefore,
thinks that persons laboring under
the Inconvenience of weak eyes will
derive great relief from spectacles SO
prepared.

The Right Triumphant.

[ The Vaccinations Of demagogues.
the frantic appeals Of mischief-mak
ing revolutionists, the recklessness of
law-defying public functionaries and
the adrolt chlcane of accomplished
and unscrupulous lawyers, are all in
VAIN against the settled purpose of
the people to sustain the right. The
cltlzens of Baltimore have earned the
eternal gratitude of the American
people. No people have ever been
moro sorely tried. No people have
ever borne themselves moro nobly
against their oppressors.
A handful of men, claiming to be
the simon pure loyalists OF the city,
though some of them were leaders in
melting the popular storm which cul-
minated in the riot of 1861, got pos
session of the city government
through system of legislation that,
however well adapted to an era of
war, was by no means consonant with
tho spirit of peace, and sought to
perpetuate their power by the most
inlquitous disfranchisement of their
fellow-citizens, on the plea that they
were disloyal. They refused to regis
ter lawful voters. They excluded
from the ballot-box those who were
Justly entitled to the right of suf-
frage, under severely restrictive
enactment. They countenanced cor
rupt judges of election and bitterly
partisan registers of voters, and they
sought to evade the punishment due
their wrong-doing by keeping in
power o board of police, in defiance
Of the action of the Executive, and
avalled themselves ola partisan Judge,
once pronounced secessionist, to
1mprson those who were lawfully ap-
pointed police commissioners, and to
arrest the course of justice; and in the
midst of their iniquity, leagued them
selves with the wholesale slanderers
OF their State, who were summoning
the citizens of adjoining States to
armed interference with the affairs Of
Maryland. All these outrages the
citizens of Baltimore have borne
not tamely, not without irrepressible
indignation, bnt without violence.
They have kept themselves in due
subordlnatlon to the law, and have
bided their time. At the polls, yes
terday, they administered a memora-
BILE, overwhelming rebuke to the
cunning plotters and unscrupulous
demagogues, both in and out of the
State, who, to perpetuate the power
OF party, would not hesitate to light
the flames of another civil war. We
congratulate Baltimore and the State
Of Maryland on overthrowing q law
less faction, which, protesting the
purest loyalty, was guided by the
most reckless selfishness, and espe-
clally do we congratulate the con
servative leaders and the masses upon
the forbearance, the self-control, the
patriotism and the respect for law
which gild their triumph with its
proudest memories.

SUPPOSED CoRPsE REsUscIrATEp.-
A young lady Of Quincy, Illinois,
who has been i'll for some time, died,
as was supposed, few days ago, w
coffined, and the body placed in the
family vault. Yesterday, one of the
attendants heard, as he thought, sub
dued means proceeding from the
vault, and Immediately broke open
the door of the tomb. The lid of tho
coffin was removed, and to the as
tonishment and qualification of all,
the young lady was found alive.
Proper means were taken to restore
her, and she will undoubtedly reco-
yer.

BEAUr1FUn.-When the summer
day of youth is slowly wasting away
into the nightfall of age, and the
shadows of the past years grow
deeper and deeper, as life wears 10
close, it is pleasant to look back
through the vista of time upon the
Joys aud sorrows of our earlier years.
II we have home to shelter and
hearts to rejoice with us. and friends
who have been gathering around our
nresides, then the rough places of our
wayfarlng will be Worn and smoothed
away in the twilight of life, while the
bright, sunny spots we have passed
through will grow brighter and more
beautiful. Happy indeed are they
whose intercourse with the world has
not changed the course of their
ho!.er feelings, or broken those musi-
cal chords of the heart whose vibra-
tons are so melodious, so tender and
touching in the evening of age.

The Mobile courts have decided
that when man steals cotton, its
value must be reckoned in specie, to
decide whether it be grand larceny
and felony, or only misdemeanor.
A man had stolen 500 pounds Of cot
ton, which was worth $125 in green
backs, $25 more than grand larceny
theft, but only $93 in specie, so that
the thief is only guilty of misde-
meanor, and gets off by paying 5000
fine, instead of going toithe peniten-
tiary.

The Countess Melusine was used
to hear 1aen talk of love, but this was
something different to her uses. She
listened gently, tenderly, and tears
more than once fell from her eyes.
Then STOPPING forward, so that her
scented hair fell lightly over the young
face upturned to hers, she put her
arms, with gesture of almost ma
ternal tenderness, round his neck,
and, kissing his forehead, said softly
"My child, my poor boy, you know
not what you ask-you know not

of escape, Antoine" she whispered,

"Madanae, est sercie," said Justine,

Come, you will have no time to wait.
Get together all OF your best-the
rest must go. Saprisi! what is she
at now?' he cried, as the Countess
stood pale, and as if stunned. "Come,

you please! Bustle about, and help

An escaped prisoner of the rebels, who
had been shut mp in the depot after
the explosion, showed the way; and the
way leading to it was found strewn with
pixies. Within, were stores OF ball car
tridges, hand grenades, powder, some
uniforms, and batch of printed sheets,
wet from the press, which bore the
proclamation of the provisional govern
ment: of those lost men who were now
pressing on towards the Wicklow noun

''This rebellion is sometimes called
insignificant; or it is said to be rendered
important only by the murder of Lord
Kilwarden. But the truest and most in
telligent friends of Ireland saw the mat
ter very differently; and the survivors
of them hold their opinion to this day.
This outbreak disclosed (by means OF
the documents that were seized in con-
sequence) an amount and extent of Irish
discomfort of which the most clear
sighted had before been unaware. The
outbreak rudely checked the course OF
improvement which had obviously
made fair start after the Union; and
the event and the documents together
brought on new series of Coercion

the Union could go forward at ALL .

1 stood on a rock by the mirrors deep,
Where the restless waters IulTd to sleep
The bright coral isles, the dark thundeT's roar
And the foam of the sea, slept on the shore.
The storm that had shook the ocean bed,
To a depth far below the sounding lead,
Had gone in it's wild and dizzy flight,
To roam the shades of the Arctic night.
In zone Of light, the sea and the spray,
Then silence seemed to couch at my feet
And the heart of the ocean ceased to beat.
Then an angel came and stood by nv side,
And dipped his wings. in the crystal tide;
Then drepp'd a pebble in the sparkling lea,
Where the sunbeams came TO bathe in the sea.
Dark shadows came DER the brow of the wave,
From the depth and the breath Of the ocean
cave,
And the waters rose in their surging beds,
Like the snow wreathed crowns Of the Alpine
heads.
Now swiftly, the dark clouds of wrath, they
came,
And lighted the brine with their murky flame,
Then the hurricane charged on the watery
Like the strife of the Gods, in Paradise Lost
Then the angel dropped tear in the food
That rose like q flame ON the rock where we
stood;
The pillows were hushed, the storm rolled
away,
And the sunbeams came and bathed in the sea.
