DIALOGUE on NEWSPAPERS does
it happen, neighbor B., that your children
have made so much greater progress i'll
their learning, and knowledge of the
world than mine? They all attend the
same school, and, for aught | know, enjoy
equal advantages.
do you take the newspapers, neighbor
A?'
NO, sir, 1 do not take them myself; but
/ now and then borrow one, Justto read.
Pray sir, what have newspapers to do with
the education of children?' p
.Why, sir, they have vast deal to do
with it, assure you. l should as soon
think of keeping them away from school,
rs to withhold from them the newspapers,
it is a little school, of itself. Being new
every week, it attracts their attention, and
they are sure to peruse it. Thus, while
they are storing their minds, with useful
knowledge, they arc at the same time ac-
curing the art of reading, &c. have of
ten been surprised that u man of under
standing should overlook the Importance
of newspaper in q family
In truth, neighbor B., l frequently think
I should like to take them, but cannot
we'll afford the expense
Cant afford the expense? What, let
me ask, is the value of the two and a half
or three dollars a year, in comparison with
the pleasure of wcll-conducted newspa-
per? As poor as l am, l would not, for
fifty dollars year deprive myself OF the
happiness I enjoy in reading and hearing

pense pay for it in advance every year,

ALWAYS BEAUr1FUL.-At festival par
ty, old and young, the questions was asked,
(Which season Of life is most happy 2"
After being freely discussed by the guests,
it was referred for answer to the host,
upon whom was the burden OF tourscore
years. He asked if they noticed grove
of trees before the dwelling, and said:
When the spring comes with the soft air,
the buds are breaking on the trees, and
they are covered with blossoms, think
how beautiful is spring. And when sum
mcr comes and covers the trees with its
heavy foliage, and singing birds are all
among the branches, I think how beautl-
ful is summer! When autumn loads them
with golden fruit, and their leaves bear
the gorgeous tint of frost, 1 think, how
beautiful is autumn And when it is sere
winter look up and through the lcaflcss
branches, as 1 could never until now, lsce
the stars shine"

THE BARRIERS PRACTICAL JoKE.-The
celebrated Henry, first Viscount Melville,
was on visit to Edinburgh, shortly after
the passing of some unpopular measure to
which he had given his support.
On the morning after his arrival he sent
for barber to shave him at his hotel.
This functionary, aconsdcrable humorist,
resolved to indicate his sentiments re-
specting his lordship's recent procedure as
a legislator. Having decorated his lord
ship with an apron, he proceeded to lather
his face. Then, flourishing his razor, he
said: 1--WE are obliged to you, my lord,
for the part you lately took in the passing
OF that odious bill" ooh, you're q poll
tician," said his lordship; 81 sent for o
barber" "I'll shave you directly" added
the barber, who, after shaving onc-hali OF
the beard, rapidly drew the back of his
instrument across his lordship's throat,
saving: "Talle that, you traitor and
rushed out of the room. Lord Melville,
who conceived that his throat had been
cut from ear to ear, placed the apron about
his neck, and, with a gurg ling noise,
shouted :sNLurdcr!' The waiter immc-
diatcly appeared and at his lordships en-
treaty. rushed out to procure Il surgeon.
Three members of the medical faculty
were spccdily in attendance; but his
lordship could scarcely be persuaded by
their Joint solicitations TO expose MS
throat. around which he firmly held the
barbcr's apron At length he consentea ca
to an examination; but he could only pe
convinced by looking into mirror TI;. INA enaO
his throat had been untouched. Hls lord
shin mortified by the mcrrmcnt winch
the occurrence excited, speedily returned
to London.

SECRETARY McCuLLooH has, issued
a circular dated April 10th, calling the
attention of those concerned to the
treasury CIRCULAR of lst7-of zNoyember
last, which shows forth the liabilities
Of all vessels and the power of collec-

them for uon-paymento of tonnage dues.
The Secretary urges thai custom officers
see that all vessels within their respeo-
tive districts comply with the require
ments of the law as set forth in said
circular! In regard to Hatboats and
barges, he says: Especial attention
is-Rlso directed to that class Tof- fiat

privilege Of transporting coal, oil, and
agricultural produce to market, by
payment of the special internal reve-
nue. tonn4ge tax5iest they engage in the
ceDse and paying the highest tonnage
dues incident thereto, to the detriment
Of legitimate coasters. For it will be
borne in mind that, while regular Ii
censed II ,coRsungi vessels may en-
gage in such trade without being sub
ject to said special tax, yet vessels hav:
ing elected TO engage under the inter

New York specials.

NEW York, May 1.-The Herald's
Montgomery, Alabama, special OF yes
terday. says: A large gathering. of
freedmen, mainly women, assembled
to-day at the National Cemetery, and
decorated the graves of Union soldiers.
This was intended as an ovation to the
nation. and as an offset to the decora-
ting or the graves OF the rebels by the
southern ladies. The procession was
large and orderly.
The Herald's special says: Senator
| Wilson received an ovation from the
colored people of WILMINGTON, n. c.,
yesterday. He made a speech of the
usual tenor, and was replied to by Mr..
Benjamin Robinson, a local orator. The
national flag was displayed from the
public buildings, and procession with
music, banners, flags, notices and de-
vices, paraded the streets.
The Times special says that as only
three of the Judiciary committee had
arrived in Washington yesterday there
was no meeting in the Impeachment
Investigation matter. The other mem
bers were expected to-day. Several
witnesses from the South have arrived,
among whom are George A. Trenholm
and his son, OF Charleston.
Gen. Spinner Of the u. s! Treasury,
signed, to-day, the first installment OF
the three years. certificates authorized
at the last session of the 3Sth Congress,
to beused in liquidation of compound
interest notes falling due. They viii
be issued only fro ulNew York, Assistant
Treasurer ,Vandyke's countersignature
being necessary to the official validity,
and In denominations of five hundred
dollars and one thousand dollars.
The Herald's special says: The Pres.
ident has pardoned Solomon Kapus-
taune who was convicted for prosecuting
fraudulent claims against the Govern
ment in 1862 and sentenced 10 ten years
imprisonment. s.7
Fifty thousand dollars is the fee
claimed by the counsel employed by the
United States to defend the Fenians on
trial in Canada last winter, and the
question arises as to how Mr.. Seward
can pay it, there being no provision for
any such outlay, and the Senate not
being very apt to grant any apprOpria-
ton for the purpose.
