BEAUTIFUL IscIDENT.--A pleasing in,
cidens occurred in the Church Of the
Messiah, corner of Ninth and Olive, yes
terday. The minister, DR.. Eliot, was
delivering discourse, with a view of So
liciting aid for the famishing people of the
South. In the midst Of his remarks,
while speaking peace and good-will--a
dove few in at the window perched for
moment on the gallery balustrade-
then spread its wings and hoyered over
the minister's head, and finally seated
itself on the pulpit. Every face was ra-
.dient. It seemed as if Providence smiled
and the minister referring to the messen-
ger of peace, asked and received liber-
al donation. The collection amounted
to 1852 55.-St. Louis Dispatch.

AN IMPORTANT pEcIsIoN.-The Post
master General has given his opinion
against the validity of the practice which
has prevailed on many railroads of car
rying letters relating to their business,
outside of the mail, unstamped, and sim
ply marked "Railread Business-Free.' y
He holds that it is his duty to compel all
officers and employees of railroad corpora
tions, as we'll as all other mail contractors,
to pay upon all letters not relating to
freight or cargo at the same time convey
ed, the same postal tax which is paid by
the public generally on mail matter.

Home Conversation.

Children hunger perpetually for new
ideas and the most pleasant way of re-
ception is by the voice and the ear, not
the eye and the printed page. The one
made natural the other is artificial. Who
would not rather listen than read? An
audience will listen closely from the be-
ginning to the end of an address which
not one in twenty of those present would
read with the same attention. This is
emphatically true of children. They
will learn with pleasure from the lips of
parents what they deem drudgery to study
in the book; and even if they have the
misfortune to be deprived of the educa-
tional advantages which they desire, they
cannot fail to grow up intelligent if they
enjoy in childhood and youth the priv
ilege of listening daily to the conyersa-
tion of intelligent people. Let parents,
then, talk much and talk we'll at home
A father who is habitually silent in his
own house may be, in many respects, a
wise man, bit he is not wise in his silence

Apftrp
.IF YOUwANT AKIss, TAKE IT.,

Some apoick" gives the following good ad
vice to bashful young men, which we can en-
dorse as being sound, having considerable
experience in the matter:
There's jolly Saxon proverb,
That is pretty much like this,
That man is half in heaven
When he has woman's kiss;
But there is danger in delaying
And the sweetness may delay it;
oItell you, bashful lover,
If You want kiss, why take It.
Never let another fellow
Steal march on you in this,
Never let laughing maiden
See you spelling for kiss;
There's royal way to kissing,
And the jolly ones who make it
Have motto that is winning
If you want kiss, why take 1t.
Any fool may face cannon;
Anybody wear crown;
But man must win woman.
II he'd have her for his own;
Would you have the golden apple,
You must find the tree and shake it,
If the thing is worth the having,
If you want kiss, why take it.
Who would burn upon desert,
With forest smiling by?
Who would give his sunny summer
For bleak and wintry skyi
Oil tell you there is magic,
And you cannot, cannot break it;
For the sweetest part of loving
Is to want a kiss and take it,

strangulation.

Among the claims presented at the
Second Auditor Office, at Washington,
was one of the bounty and back pay of
a negro soldier, who it was affirmed had
died from strangulation while Tin the
line of his duty" Some technical err
ror, however, led to its being referred to
the Ajdutaut Generals Office, when it vas
found that Mr.. Mig. had, sure enough,
died Of strangulation, for be had been
hung for willful murder.

Progress OF StCum aud Telegraphtc Com.
mnnicntion.
Every few days we publish an account OF
some fresh enterprise in opening new lines OF
steamship and telegraphic communication to
and from The United States. The world moves
fast nowadays, aud all the grand movements
Of the age tend to one point and rsdiate
from one centre, and that is this great metropo-
Lis. This republic is the centre of the globe,
in geographical and commercial view, and
il will not be long before II will be the focus
and radiating point of intellectual movements,
and oil must cenirali2e In New York.
Let us glance at what IL going on. Within
a few years numerous lines OF splendid
steamships have been established betw zen this
port and Europe. The Atlantic has become
great ocean ferry, across which crowds Of
people pass daily with as little difficulty or
apprehension as in sailing up the Hudson to
Albany q few years ago. There arr lines TO
England, France, and Germany, and in con-
necton with these to all parts of Europe. The
time across the Atlantic is now only nine or
ten days. Soon there will be direct lines 70
Italy, Spain, the Baltic, and other parts Of the
European Continent. few months since line
was established across the Pacific 10 Japan and
China from San Francisco. A splendid line is in
successful operation from Australia TO the Amer.
lean Continent at Panama, with which those on
the Pacific to California and the South Ameri-
can republics connect, as well as those to the
West Indies and this country by the Caribbean
Sea and Gulf OF Mexico. Other lines are pro.
jected, among which may be mentioned one
from France to Panama, connecting the Con-
tinents, and making this Continent the centre
Of all. We are soon to have q line direct rom
New York to Venezuela, by the way OF the
West Indies, in addition to those to Brazil and
the other countries Of South America on the
Atlantic side. Such is the wonderful progress
that has been made and is going on In central
ling commerce here BY means Of steamships
But the progress Of selesraphic operations Il
