Blow, we stormy winds of winter,
Drive the chilly, drifting snow,
Closely housed, the busy printer,
Heeds not how the winds may blew.
Click, click, his type go dropping,
Here and there upon his case,

Every letter in its place,
Heaven send the useful printer,
Every comfort mortals need,
For our nights were dull in wfnter.
Had we NOT the news to read.
Sad would be the worlds condition

Power OF CoNscIENcE.-A follower at

on future day. On that day he took the
money but finding the cobblcr had died inthe
interim, returned, secretly rejoicing that hs
could retain the money, and get a pair Of
shoes for nothing. His conscience, howev,

Furnishing Children.


In multitudes of cases parents have made
hasty and furious and utterly groundless
charges against child which has so taken it
aback that it could make no reply, and this
has been taken as tacit confession OF guilt,
and the next question proposed in fury is,
aWhat did you do it for p The child be-
ing thus confused and more alarmed, cannot
summon presence Of mind and composurs
enough to make denial, and, as the only al
tcrnatiye, bursts into kind Of hysterical
crying. Many parents are Of such a tempe
rament that, when child cannot be indeed
to utter word under scolding, they become
more enraged, and utter threats which are a
disgrace to civilization; we have heard them
ourselves, from afectionate, indalgent. and
Christian parents, HI'll knock you down with
log Of wood" "I'n break every bone in
your body" "I'll beat you within an inch Of
your life" and other similar beastialitiss Of
expression from educated, civilized minds
at least they passed for that in the great
world
There is one safe rule always applicable in
the reproof of children-neverspea so loud
that third person, ten feet away, could hear
what was said. Any angry feeling is intensi-
fed by loud utterance. Another good rule
is, do not reprove or correct a child in the
presence of third person, or if SO, let it be
done in soft, low, afectionate tome A
third precaution-and it is not minor one
either-is, do not reproye on the instant /;
wait few hours, if not till next day, or,
better still in many cases, defer it until the
occasion is about to occur when the fault
might likely be repeated. Any intelligent
and obseryant housekeeper knows chat if a
steak is put on the table this morning burnt
to crisp, bouncing up from the table, run
ming into kitchen, and blazing away at the
cook, is neither lady like, nor wise, nor po-
lite But next morning just before the
steak is about to be cooked, be in the kitchen,
and ask that it be not oyerdone like yester-
day, with some word Of encouragement;
whatcv er servant is not managed in this way
had better be dismissed Now, children are
as ignorant as servants the minds Of both
are weak and may be easily made perverse
alike. Be assured, reader, that if you make
it an infexible rule never to scold above a
whisper, you will never outrage your child's
feelings, nor fracture its skull by blow
dealt in ungovernablc fury.-HaWs Journal

PROFESSIONAL CARDS.

Having been fourteen rcnsns Resident Physi-
clan of the Wills Hospital for diseases of the Eye
in the city of Philadelphia, the oldest and most
celebrated Institution Of the kind in the United
States, he fatters himself he will be able to give
entire satisfaction to all who may consult him.
He has had ten years experience in the treat
ment of Diseases of the Eye, since leaving the
Wills Hospital, and knows, from actual expert
ence that he can Treat Successfully all Diseases
of the Eye that are Durable, and nearly all are,
whether requiring
MEDICAL OR SURGICAL AID.
The public are aware that Physicians general
ly pay but little attention to diseases of the Eye
having never had the opportunity or time to &C
quire thorough theoretical and practical knowl-
edge Of this class Of Diseases and consequently,
they cannot be expected to treat them assatisfac-
torily as one who has had both.
/ am well aware of the objections in the popu-
lar mind to advertising, because this has been
heretofore practiced by foreigners and pretend
ers in Science, whose only object has been to de-
ceiye and humbug-but as native Of this coun-
ty, well known to most of the citizens, with am
pie opportunities and facilities for acquiring
knowledge Of
OPHTHALMIC DISEASES,
and enlarged experience in treating Eye Diseases
PRACTICALLY, l think can demonstrate my fitness
for this speciality to all who may extend to me
their patronage. Persons afflicted with
DISEASES OF THE EYE,
of long standing, and who have been subjected to
various modes Of treatment WITHOUT RELIEF,
should not be discouraged, as it often happens
that those cases having been sadly neglected OF
badly treated are
MOST READILY AND RAPIDLY CURED,
although it must be admitted, as general rule,
the longer the duration of q diseased condition,
the longer the time required for its eradication
1t is needless to speak Of the value of sight
those only can properly estimate lis advantages
who are unfortunately deprived Of it.
REMEMBER, there are some in every communi-
place, who have been either partially or totally
deprived of their sight on account of delayed
or unskllful treatment.

CLIMATE NOT THE CAUSE OF CoLoR-It
is common opinion that climate alone is ca
pable Of producing all the diversities Of com
plexion SO remarkable in the human race A
very few facts may suffice to show that such
cannot be the case. Thus the negroes q
Van Dieman's Land, who are among the
blacklist people Oh the earth, live in climate
as cold as that Of Iceland while the Indo-
Chinese nations, who live in tropical Asia,
arc Of a brown and olive complexion. 1t is
remarked by Humboldt that the American
tribes of the equinoctial regions have 60
darker skins than the mountaincers of the
temperate zone. So, also, the Puelches
OF the Magellanic Plains, beyond
the ffty-ffth degree ofsouth latitude, are alb
solutely darker than the Ampibodes, TOBIAS,
and other tribes, who are many degrees near
er the equator. Again, the Charaus, who
live south of the Rio de la Plata are almost
black, while the Guaycus. under the line, are
among the fairest Of the American tribes
Finally. not to multiply examples, those ma
tons of the Caucasian race which have be-
come inhabitants of the torrid zone in both
hemispheres, although their descendants may
have been fer centuries, and in Africa ftr
many centuries, exposed to the most active
influences of the climate, have never, in a
solitary instance, exhibited the transforma-
ton from Caucasian to a negro complexion.

OYer-Eating.

Besides eating badly prepared food at
wrong times, many people eat too much yet
the stomach is not a travelling bag. which
can carry all that can be stuffed into it, but
delicate machine which too little and too
much od'equally disturbs, while the rare
golden mean keeps it in healthy change from
rest to work, and back again, and makes it,
in turn, keep the "ten thousand strings" Of
body and mind in the incest tension. x man
who should put iron bars, sticks, or dirt into
piece of nicely finished machinery would
be counted fool or madman; yet men who
employ trusty grooms and engineers to take
the incest care of their horses and steam en-
gines-as well as many who own neither Of
these conyenieGces treat their animal bodies
in cruel manner, which should arouse Mr..
Bergh to speechlcss wrath They rudely
awake their stomachs from rest, and feed
them when they are not hungry they pour
down fluids when not thirsty they swallow
things half masticated, as if the stomach
could perform the functions of gizzard :;
they cram their stomachs, they burden, they
overwhelnl them they insult them, hu1niliate
them enrage them, make enemies Of them
into an alliance with an unrelentiug inquisi
tor, bearing the name Of dyspepsia.
There is not much practical use in telling
people SO, however, for they will all declare
the statements very true, and then gulp down
an ogre's dinner, for quantity, washing it
into their stomachs with riyulet of whatever
fluid pleases themselves and the community
they live in. Not many things are SO com
mon and popular as suicide-sometimes efFec-
ted deliberately and consciously,
but usually otherwise People are all
the time tapping away at the walls of their
own bodies; bending the springs frequently
to test their temper loosening the screws
and tastenings; thrasting in levers of their
own to reverse the machinery and make it
move another way and exercising upon it,
to their full, their ignorant meddlesolne curl
osity, and disposition to do just what they
please with their own property-for it is
their own, MIR. Winwoode Reade says-so
that the durability of the machine is really

newspapers, and Mr.. Norman Moore, of the
Gazette of this city, left here on an excursion
trip to Richmond, pursuant to an invitation of
the Press Club of that city. They were hoSpi-
tably received at the Spotswood hotel by the
Richmond press, and Christmas and Saturday
we're devoted to general festivities and to visit
ing the principal places of interest in Rich
mond and its environs. On Saturday evening
a complimentary supper was rendered the visi-
tors at the Spotswood Hotel, and until the
hour of midnight the time was passed most
pleasantly in the discussion of an excellent bill
OF fare, toasts, &c. The anticipations of Vir-
GINA hospitality were more than realized, and
the entire party were highly gratifed with the
cordial reception given them by their Rich
mond brethren 1t is understood that the visit
will be returned at an early day.
