How A House IS FINIsHED.-When
the carpenter built my fathers house, and
gave up the key, that house was not half
builded. When my father and mother
moved into it there was something else added
which no carpenter could have put there.
And when the child was born, there was
something else put there not merely the
child, but all the sweet thoughts and fam
cies, all the labors of love, all the tender
care, all the ten thousand family enjoy
ments, that fell out in consequence of its
presence there. And as brothers and sis
tiers were added to the band Qor God, as
usual, blessed the ministerial house,
hold under my fathers roof, and we
were troop; as child after child came,
each peculiarity, each taste, each individ-
ual element, gave new fresco to the walls.
The floors were poorly clad with carpets,
and the house was scantly provided with
furniture; but rich was the dwelling with
that which no upholsterer could make, and
which no carpenter could frame. 1t was
the family life of the old mansion. And
to-day the chimney may smoke for aught |
know Gt did when I was boy,) for that
house is more precious to me than any
house built of marble and ornamented with
gold could be. 1t was what my father and
mother left me.-Beecher.

CORRESPONDENCE.

The following correspondence will be
read with interest: .,.. 20.
RICHMOND, VA, January 0, 1872.
Hon. C. II. Porter, House Of Representa-
ttpes. EfHrtl rFE
DEAR SIR,--I write to you in reference
to the tobacco interests of the people of
this district, which are, in very great
measure, completely paralyzed, in conse-
quence of the uncertainty as to what will
be the tax on the same. A general i'm
preston prevails here that the tax will be
reduced, and it is almost universally be-
lieyed that the same will be equalized-that
is, that the tax upon smoking and plug to-
bacco will be the same.
In consequence of this prevailing opin-
ion, but few of the manufacturers are now
doing any business, and they upon very
small scale. Manufacturers are afraid to
proceed in their business until Congress
has imposed some definite tax on tobacco.
Such being the case, a large number Of
the operatives of these tobacco factories are
entirely without employment, and conse-
quently are in distress and want during a
season of the year in which employment
and means are most needed.
therefore write to request that you will
use your influence to have this matter set
| tied in some definite shape at an early date.
| If it be the will of Congress that the tax on
| tobacco be reduced and equalized, the
sooner this be done the better it will be for
all parties concerned. If it be their mten-
ton to permit it to remain as it is, by de-
claring and definitely settling the matter
it would cause the factories here to again
commence business, and thereby relieve
much distress.
The universal cry here is let Congress dc
something definite and permanent in regar(
to the tobacco tax, and do that quickly.
Yours truly.
r.. III. SMITH.

say, Siberia furnishes most Of our ivory,
which is dug out of her frozen mud.
ca splendid outline map Of South Ameri-
ca was here shown.)
Why is the Amazon the great river?
The trade winds furnish an explanation.
The winds are the water carriers of the
globe. The mountains rising into the re-
gion of frost, chill the water laden
winds, and cause them to drop their
moisture upon the great valley, and so
form the Amazon with its mighty flood.
Look at Africa, by contrast, with its
Sahara, where diverse physical conditions
prevail. On the western slopes of the
Andes we find dry climates, because the
winds have lost their moisture on the east
ern side. In ordinary maps we have
the names of our tide-water towns in Vir-
ginia, and the fact that they are hourishing,
but what is the telling point in this connec-
ton? Why, simply this, that granite
range crosses, at nearly right angles, all
the principal streams, forming water-pow-
ers and the head of tide-water. This fixes
by natural causes the location of the large
towns.
Guyots' map of the United States shows
admirably these facts of altitude, and the
physical features which determine produc-
tions, employments, and the distribution
of population. We are made to under
stand at once the relation of all these
things upon map, colored according to
elevation. California is in latitude 40 de-
grees. She send grapes to our Pathological
exhibitions which we can only grow in hot
houses. Why? Because she is protected
on the west by lofty mountains, cutting off
the cold winds from North and West. She
opens out to the warm winds of the Pa
cifc. California is the hot-house of the
continent, shut up from adverse influences
by the forms and distribution of the re-
| liefs. ef
The lecture of Major Hotchkiss was very
clear and admirable, and was listened tc
with earnest and appreciatiye attention by
the teachers. Those who were educated
IN the old methods of Geography could not
fail to be impressed with the freshness
and vigor of his views. The immense
superiority of Prof. Guyot's maps was also
clearly demonstrated. We trust Prof
II. will continue his valuable lecturers
/ to the Teachers.

THE DUTY ON COAL.

The proposition to reduce the duty on
coal in the interest of few New York
millionaires, who hold coal lands in Nova
Scotia, is blow directly aimed at the mi
ming interests of Virginia. Within an
hours ride of Richmond, large companies
are already mining coal for the New York
and Seaboard market. Another new COM
pany has just begun to open its mines for
the same purpose. If the duty is taken off
while our mines are undcveloped, it will
seriously embarrass those new enterprises
which promise to bring money into our
State at this important crises. Will not
our Legislature represent this matter tc
Congress, and protest against the reduction
of the duty?

IMPORTANT SUBsTITUTE--The Land
Scrip Fumd.-The present bill before the
Legislature contemplates appropriating one
third of the proceeds of the Land Scrip Fund
to the following institutions: University
of Virginia, Virginia Military Institute,
and Hampton Normal School.
Mr.. Smith, Of Nelson, will offer an
amendment to this proposition, looking to
a pro rata distribution of the fund to the
two races according to population.
To the University, four-twelfths; to Yir-
ginia Military Institute, three-tweliths, and
to Hampton School, fiye-twelfths.
This proposition will doubtless commend
itself to members, and will receive such
consideration as its Importance demands.
