Little Folks.

Every object We behold, every sound
we hear, is suggestive, capable Of ma
king an impression on the mind, in
proportion to the state or capacity of
the mind to receive it. Thus the fall
ing of an apple made suggestion to
the mind of Newton, though often be-
held by others without suggesting even
thought. Such was the state of his
mind at the moment, to ascertain the
cause opensd the door to theory that
has made his name immortal. Every
child is capable Of receiving like i'm
pressions from men and objects that
surround them, that may create as
great effects or revolution in his mind
as did the falling of an apple on the
mind of Newton, and which may be
the motive power to govern his con-
duct, and form his character through
life. Children are initiative creatures;
at The commencement of their vocabu-
larry, it is as easy for them to learn one
language as another, and hearing and
seeing so much of which they had no
previous knowledge, the vacuum is fill
ing, and impressions received by what
ever presents itself to- their senses, and
will be material HI the formation oi
their characters. Hence it is, that eve
ry one with whom my child associates,
or the example of those he hears and
sees on the street or elsewhere, are
Lending their aid in the formation O
his character, either for good or fol
evil. However little this is appreciated
the fact is undeniable, that every par
ent has claim on the public for pro
lection from an evil so potent; just al
well might he throw frebrands abou
my dwelling as blow his pestiferou
breath into the ears of my child, o.
: set before him such examples as would
: be ruinous for him to follow. It is too
evident, that too many parents, who
regard the well-being of their children
t who watch and guard their growiu|
3 intellect. are still needless of the ex
amples that are constantly passing be
fore them, and of placing around then
! q sufficient safeguard to ward off tn
e danger. L.P.

When Frank Pierce, much to his

Of course Mr.. Pierce declined, and i'm

ANEcDoTE OF THE WAR--Two boys
belonging to Moorman's Lynchburg
battery, having marked a good place
near a farm house on the peninsula,
stole out t0 "fank q shoat." They
had seen large number go under a
large out-buildihg, and whifS one was {,
to creep III and drive out the 'critters'
the other was to stand at an opening

long and short q the story is that the
farmer, not liking the near proximity
of the soldiers, had moved his pigs
nearer the house, and the crawler' no'

ALMOST w WEDDlNG.-On tuesday
night number of guests assembled on
Sixteenth street to witness a marriage
ceremony. The wedding feast was
spread-the priest came with his cross
and prayer-book-the groomsmen as
sembled in their white kids and paper
shirt-collars the bridesmaids were
present with their satin founces and
globular waterfalls-the bride; blush
ing like Aurora, was arrayed in snowy
robes, orange wreaths and glittering
iewels-the wedding ring was ready,
and everything was prepared to lannch
the young couple upon the Hymeneal
stream, amid rejoicings, flowers, kisses,
tears, tremors and congratulations
Only one thing was needed to make
the affair complete, and that was the
presence of the bridegroom. Without
him the wedding would be like the play
of Hamlet with Hamlet left out. In
fact, he was IN indispensable character,
and without his presence the whole af-
fair must fall through or prove fail
ure. But important as was his pres.
ence, the appointed bridegroom came
not. Hours passed. The priest be-
came disgusted and left-the uncle O

prosperous and important commercial
community.
In the case of Colorado, l am not
aware that any national exigency, eth
er of political or commercial nature,
requires a departure from the law of
equality which had been SO generally
adhered to in our history. If the in
formation submittedin connection with
the bill is reliable, Colorado, instead of
increasing, has declined in population.
At an election for members of Terri
torial Legislature, held in 1861, 10,580
votes were cast. At the election before
mentioned, in 1864, the number was
6,192; while at the regular election,
held ID 1866, which is assumed for q
basis of Legislative action at this time,
the aggregate number Of votes was
5,905.
Sincerely anxious for the prosperity
and welfare of every territory ana State,
as well as for the prosperity and hap
pinesss of the whole Union, regret
the apparent decline of population in
Colorado, but it is owing to the emigra-
ton which is going on from that terri
tory into others within the United
States, which are, or are believed by
the citizens of Colorado to be, richer
in mineral wealth and agricultural re
sources. If, however, Colorado, ha'
not really declined in population, an
other census or another election unde
{ authority of Congress would place tn
question beyond doubt, and cause bu
little delay in the ultimate reception o
the territory as State, Il desired b.

r tions furnishes the reply, which may b

1t appears that q short time ago for
eign prince made heavy bet thas he
would be arrested by the poll with
out committing dny offence waatever,
or in any way provoking the authori-
ties. The bet having been taken by a
member of the Imperial Club, the
prince went to one of the most aristo-
cratic cafes in Paris, dressed In bat
tered tat, ragged blouse, and4boots
all in holes, and, sitting down at one
of the tables, ordered cup OF coffee
The walters, however, paid no attention
to SO suspicious looking a customer
upon which the prince put his hand III
his pocket and showed them bundle
of bank notes. Theproprietor then or
dered the coffee to be served, sending
meanwhile to the nearest police station
for a sergeant de vile: The prince was
duly arrested and taken to the commls
sary of police, where he stated who h'
was and was afterwards taken to the
gentleman with whom he made the be-
to prove his identity. A similar stor!
was told at Vienna some time ago of
