When the celebrated rOmancer, Sir
yVslfer Scott. had finished "Quentin
DuTWard.U . he offered the youngest Of
his daughters, on whom he had not
vet settled a dowry, $4,000 or his last
novel. Miss Scott replied, blushing,
that before taking q resolution ON the
subject. she wished to read the manu-
script. Hardly had she received it
before she ran TO her fathers book
seller, who Immediately gave e4SOO
for the novel. The young lady re-
turned to the house enchanted, and
said to her father, blushing, that she
preferred the novel to e4OOO, and the
poor man, credulous as poets and
hthers are, wept with emotion in the
arms Of hts daughter, who blushed
anew.

ROME, September 1.-THE Turin
Gazette says the present situation OF
France causes Garibaldi much afSec-
ton. He speaks with contempt of
Victor Hugo, Louis Blanc and Jules
Favre, and declares them old and
worn out. His son, Ricciotti, will
soon return to Caprera. His other
son, Menotti, has devoted himself to
EXPORT business. Both seem to have
absolutely renounced politics,

SARATOGA, September 1.-THE
Wards crew wen the f0ur-osred race
to-day In tYenty-four minutes and
twenty seconds. They came in two
lengths ahead. The Tyne were sec
Ond, leading Biglers and Taylor's
Winship .by half a dOEenss lengths.
The Winship's crew claim foul at the
stake-boat, and it is not yet decided
who has the third innings. The en-
thusIasm over the triumph of the
Wards crew was tremendous. As
they came up to the shore opposite
the grand stand, cheer after cheer
rent the air. The Poughkeepsie was
the fifth, and the Mckee crew sixth.
LO1er.-The third place is given to
the Biglers, whose stern passed the
stak,s-boat only few feet ahead of
Taylor's Winship. The judges have
declared q draw race between the
Biglisr crew and TayloF's Winship
crew, for the third place in the regat-
ia, and the two crews will row at two
O'Clock this afternoon to decide the
point.
ksntueky Races.
LEXINGTON, KY, September H.
The races here to-day were well at
tended, and the sport excellent. The
time made is considered slow for this
track. 1t Is accounted for, however,
by the depth of the dust, which, In
some places, is nearly foot deep.
There were two races to-day. The
first was mile heats for three year
olds, in which six started. The third
heat, between Cottrille's Saucebox
and .Buford's Hollywood, was finely
contested. The second race was q
mile dash, in which there were eight
entities.

POETRY.
An Enchanted Island.

A wonderful stream is the river Time,
As itruns through the realms Of tears,
With faultless rhythm, and musical rhyme.
And a broader sweep. aad surge sublime,
And blends with the ocean of years.
There's musical isie up the river Time,
Where the softest of airs are playing;
There a cloudess sky, and a tropical cline,
And a song as sweet as yesper chime,
And the tunes with the roses arc staying.
The name of this ilse is the Long Ago"
And we bury our treasures there;
There are brows of beauty, and bosoms Of snow
There are heaps of dust-but we loved them so
There are trinkets, and tresses of hair.
There are fragments Of songs that nobody sings.
And part of an iafant's prayer;
There's luteun sN,cPt. and hnrp withoV
There are broken vows, and pieces Of rings.
And the garment che used to wear.
There are hands that are waved when the fair'
shore
By the mirage is lifted in air;
And we sometimes hear through the turbulent
roar,
When the wind down the river is fair.
Oh, remember for aye be that blessed isle
All the day Of life till nights
And when evening comes, with It's beautiful
smile,
And our eyes are closing to slumber awhile,
May that " Greenwood " Of soul be in sight.

PLEASANT HoNEs-Parents, strive to
make your homes pleasant and attractive!
If you would have your children grow
up pure, healthy, and beautiful, attempt
not to destroy their love for beautiful
things and FOR healthy recreation. Do not
labor with such cold, rigid, selfdenying
economy to hoard up money to bestow
upon them at your death; rather devote
portion Of your surplus incomes..to en-
bellishments and identifying your dwell
ings, and to furnish your boys and girls
with the means ofhome enjoyment. In
troduce into your family circle innocent
amusements; and, above all, yourselves
join and assist the young in their recrea-
lions and plans for social diversion.
Teach them that most beautiful and soul
inspiring accomplishment, music and al
low them to mingle in the graceful and
health giving dance.
Many parents will crush with frown
every attempt at hilarity on the part OF
their children; they will Danish all
amusement and gaiety from the family
circle, and cause shade ofgloom to set
tie over their homes. What is the course
of the children Of srch parents To es-,
cape from the oppressive atmosphere Of
home becomes the governing motive Of
all their actions When away from the
immediate care of their parents, they will
secretly 90 TO places which they have
been forbidden to visit, and mingle with
children with whom they have been told
not to associate then they will immedi-
ately become more bold and hardened,
and plunge deeper and deeper into the
sea of forbidden pleasures, and resort to
falsehood to shield themselves from do.
| lection
! Are not such parents, in a measure.
responsible for the sins Of their children 2
The young will have enjoyment and il
they cannot find it at home they will seek
it elsewhere IN doubtful places and ,u
doubtful company. They are full Of vi.
tality and gaiety; they have natural
and ungoyernable desire for amusement
and social intercourse, ard that desire
must be gratited-legitimately, it may
be, or ilegtimatsly. il Attempt to sup
press it, and you will ruin our children |;
direct it in the proper channel, and you
will cause them to grow up happy and
contented into the best and noblest Of
men and women.
You who have children to train up;
think of this Devote q portion ofyour
time and money to gratifying their love
for social amusement Ifyou do not get
rich very fast, what matters 1t? You
will be compensated a hundredfold for
the pccuuiary loss by the JOY and pleas
ure you will experience by seeing your
children grow up noble and vlrtusus,
honored and respected by those around

THE RELIGION or LABOR -" Religion

prayers, solemn faces, and ecclesiastical

Sabbaths and sanctuarits, but also for
week days, for shops, for homes, for
mills, for stores, for streets and fields.

Jesus was more sublimely great, stand

Nazareth, with an apron on, than IL no

adze in his hand than with q crown on
his head. Christianity allows no aversion
toward the mechanic. 1t gives him an
honorable position. 1t invites him 10 its

many rich young ladies who would scorn

think, to throw themselves away on me.

ry- Prof. Morse tells an anecdote OF
his early struggles. When he was in
Washington, employing all his energies
to obtain an appropriation from the gov
ernment to erect line from Baltimore to
Washington, he had his instruments at
each end of the capital to demonstrate to
the members of Congress the feasibility
of the plan. He says: ~ talked to them,
explained the working Of the instru-
ments; still | saw that many were yet in
credulous, and many even secuted at the
idea as preposterous, and pronounced my
instrument as n toy of crack bralned
enthusiast. 1t was toward the close OF
the session, and there were still about
two or three hundred bills yet to be. pas
sed before they came to mine.
1t was late at night, and finally gave
up in absolute despair, and left the capt.
toll building with sad heart. l was
bankrupt having expended all that nad
on my discovery walked down the
capitol steps with exactly fifty cents, oil
had in the world, and a more disconso.
