Childhood.

Laugh and be merry while you may !
your young hearts are gushing DER with
mirth and song. Scarce a shadow is re-
flected on their surface, and not one real
sorrow have they ever known. Parental
arms are around you, and like young
vines, you twine around the parental stem,
feeling not the rude shock it may sus-
tain, while there is still vigor to support
your tender growth No blight or cor
roding worm has marred the beauty made
in Gods own image, causing it to droop
and fade. All no life is all sunshine,
one long glad day. Every thought and
feeling seems tuned in harmony to ma
ture's work. Like young lambs fiiskin;
about, unhceding the morrow, thoughtful
only of thc-present. Hypocrisy and de-
ceit are to you unknown; your hearts are
like an open book. Thanks to the Father
of all, we have once been children. That

An ENGLIsHMAN's REPoRT-Thc fol-
lowing is an extract from private letter
addressed by an English gentleman trav-
cling in the United States, to II member
Of tho British government:
never felt so ashamed of our sympa-
thy with the Southcrners as when | was
in the south. The slave owners tell you
with the most brozcn faces, that they are
better now than they were before. One
large slave owner said to me, 1.-The Yam
KEGS whipped MS ont of slavery, but they
could not whip us into it again" An
other told me he grew larger crops with
twenty-five free negroes, than he had
done with seventy-live slaves. They have
found out already that the rebellion was
economically an enormous blunder; Il
handsome cause for us to encourage them
in--thereby cstranging the North for a
generation or two! They have not learn
ed in America yet that we have ceased to
intervene in foreign quarrels. Everybody
takes for granted that we shall soon be
deep in Il continental war--an idea which
has a good deal to do with their refusal
to settle the Alabama matter. Mr.. Sum-
nor said to me that in any European COM
plication England might be counted off SO
long as her American trouble was unset
lied. Somebody of the French Embassy
had gone home last week, and he was 60
ing to point that out to the Emperor.
said, "Yes, England might be counted off
not By her American trouble, but by the
determination of her people to keep THEN
hands out of these wretched strifes We
had put off our fighting clothes,and would
not put them on till we were attacked OF
insulted ourselves" He received my
statement rs in some measure new, ant
said that if that were SOFT was the strong
est evidence he had heard of our growing
civilization. Our countrymen generally
have the same expectation.-lt is amaz
ing how little tho two countries know o
each other.
