Returning by the way Of the house we took
g. last look at the children, contenting ourselves
wiz a glance at the two little faces, lying one
at each s1d OF the cradle, quiet, gentle and
Diacid in sleep, NATURALLY hesitate and draw
back from what are called "monsters." 1t
disenheartens me to see Nature, the awful
mother, making more sport Of US than we,
sadly enough, make OF ourselves. But, l

THE PARENTS.

Joseph Finley, the father, Is native Of
Pennsylvania, but camesto Union County,
Ohio, in lS45, and Is forty-one years old. He
enlisted in the Ninty-sixth Ohio Volunteer
InIsntry IN 1862, and served in the South and
Southwest for three yeas. Twelve years ago
he married Anne E. Marks, native of Cham
paign County, Ohio, and, as 1 have already
mentioned, they had three healthy and inter-
ssting children previous TO the last birth.
They are in fair circumstances, not wealthy
but not poor, having g neat little farm Of
eighty acres, which seems to be well taken care
OF, and they certainly would be foolish to leave
it and go about the country for fifty dollars
per month, with their unfortunate fortune on
exhibition, at the beck of a man with 'awful
speculation in his eyes," named Brown.

He alluded to the contract with Brown,
which he said Brown had almost forced upon
them when neither of them were able to think
nbout anything. "He followed me after hav-
ing written out the contract himself, and
after reading it to me hastily, so that hardly
knew what was IN it, said, as if commanding
me, Sign it, sign it. And was IN such a

EXEMPTIONS FROM STAMP Duty
AFTER OCroBER 1st.-Acting Com.
missioner Douglass has addressed
a letter to +. M. Patrick, ESQ.
stamp agent at New York, stating
that the only instruments subject
to stamp duty under schedule b,
which are held exempt from tax
after the first of October mex: by
the terms of the Act of July Il,
are "pronissory notes for a less
sum than $1OO, receipts for any
sum of money or for the payment
Of any debt" Section four of
the Act alluded to also provides
that no stamp shall be required
upon the transfer or assignment
Of a mortgage where it or the in
strument it secures has been once
duly stamped" The agent in his
communication to the department
states that many business men
seem to think that the tax is repeal
ed Oh all orms. and the acting com.
missioner in his reply authorizes
the publication Of the decision to
set aside that erroneous impress
ion.

Now that oranges are in every
child 9 mouth. it is well enough for
parents to know that fatal conse,
quences may follow the swallowing
Of the rind. Many years ago We
had in charge two little girls, sis.
ters, four and six years Of age,
who were seized with violent in.
iammation of:the bowels from this
cause. One Of them died in con.
vulsions, and the other had mar.
row escape. Since that time,
quite n number of instances, stint
Lac in character, have come under
our observation. ..i s,.r., ~
Quite recently we have seen a
child, something over a year old,
that was attacked with violent
dysentric symptoms, for which no
cause could he assigned. Tile at.
tack came on during the passage
OF the steamer from San Diego
The symptoms we're SO identical
with those which we had previ.
ously noticed to arise from poison.
ing by orange peel, that we were
induced to inquire particularly il
the child had had an opportunity
OF &c ting this substance in it's
mouth. We were informed that
it had heen playing with an
orange, and nibbling at it just be-
fore the attack OF the disease. The
discharges from the bowles we're
frequent, and consisted of blood
and mncus. After a week of severe
entcric inflammation, the child
died. We have no doubt that the
disease was brought on Ly the rind
OF the orange. Though but a small
quantity must have been swall W.
cd, yet a very small quantity of
such an indisestible and Irritating
substance will often produce most
serious conscq uences.
The oil Of the rind is highly
acrid, and adds greatly to the nox
ious quality of the indigestible
mass. We learn that It Is a coin.
mon practice among the children
of some Of our public schools to
eat the rind, and that juvenile
merchants have been known to
trade off the inside Of the fruit for

A FLoArNo RICE 1inREsHER.-
Our rice planters arc adopting all
the improved modes Of iabor.sav-
ing and time-saving machinery in
the manipulation Of their crops
We noticed one at Lamar's canal,
near the bridge. 1t 10 in the shape
of a tllreshing machine, mounted
on fiat and covered over, with
abundant room for laborcrs, &c.,
and securing ample protection from
the weather, so that, instead Of car
rying the rice TO the tliresher, tie
thresher is carried through the vs.
rious canals Of the field to the rice,
thus saving transportation, loss of
time, and loss of grain. The machine
in question was put up for J. Huger,
Jr., by Messrs. Monal,an & Parry.
The idea is excellent, and there is
no. reason why il shonld not be
generally adopted. By tho appli
cation Of proper motive power the
fiat might be made available for
several plantations, and tins save
a large expense to smaller rice
planters.-Sdvannak Netos.

He has been known to carry three

from three to FIVE ordinary men to
carry one. He can take q cask
containing forty gallons of whisky

We p.esnlne,) and raise it from the

A WESTERN SToRY.-A curions
story comes from California. which
goes TO prove that the heather
Chinese" has at his command an
armory Of ingenious devices which
bid fair to make him a formidable
rival to all barbarians in every de.
partment of industry. A gentle.
man of San Jose, desirous Of hav-
ing fourteen houses built, contract
cd with . Chinaman to do the
work. That the Chinese contractor
was entirely innocent of n uy
knowledge at the architecture OF
civilized nations, was no obstacle
to bis contract for "the job."-
With a shrewdness that was ad
mirable, he hired an American
builder to put up the first house.
During the operation, the con-
tractor from the Flowery King
dom, with his Chinese assistants,
attentively watched the method Of
construction, and when the house
was finished. he discharged the
builder and erected the remaining
houses himself. In view Of the
marvellous facility with which
these organized human pieces of
machinery adap: themselves to
every cih cumstance, the stories
long current in the east of wonder.
fih lamps, genii, and other marvels
Of that enchanted land, begin to
be appreciable.
