Here let every boy and every girl o
tender years, whose parents disre.
gard their responsibility as the nat.
''r'.l protectors of their offspring, be
dally assembled, and while they are
taught the branches of an elemen-
tary education, let them be instruct
ed in some useful avocation, and the
day is not far distant when crime
will sensibly decrease in our midst
and in the next generation our pris-
ons will echo with the solitary tread
OF keepers and wardens. If the
greatest good to the greatest num-
Der be the fundamental principle
which should nndorlie all legislation,
ample warrant may be found for the
appropriation of public monies to
amc'iorate the condition of this neo-
'ected class. The benefit society at
large would derive, in moral and
political aspect, from the establish
hent OF refoylnatory institutions is
lncalcnlable, while, in a pccunia1y
point of Wow, the State would be
reimbursed tcn-fold, in the large ac-
cesslons to her producing and indus
trial classes, in the sensible decrease
of taxes, and i'll the increased safety

necessity for the lavish contributions

hospitals and asylums would cease,

Coon NArurn.-There are many
persons who suppose that good ma
ture is kindness. It has not one at
tribute ct it, necessarily. Half the
time good nature is good digestion,
that is all. Half the time good ma
ture is nerves well sheltered in adj
pose matter. Many men do not feel,
and are not irlitated !; and why
should they not be kind and easy
going? Why, we can show you hun
dreds of blessed, sweet-cheoked, sun
ny-facel, p]ump-bodied men, who go
through the world kindly. We do
not undervalue them. They lubri-
cate tho way of life, but they ought
not to call themselves by false names.
Good nature is a good thing. It is
tar more physical than mental. And
it is not active it does not energize
anything /; it does not suffer for the
sake OF doing good to other people.
There are many rough, severe men,
who, though they will hew you with
their tongue, will put forth ten times
us much true love for you rs these
good-natured men.

CTa:tisag Grape Vines.

There are almost as many differ
cnt methods Of grating grape vine.
as there are of fruit trees also rs
many different opinions among vine
yardists in regard to the best time
some advocating one season, Others
another, these having arisen throue9
the various dcgrcss Of Success which
have attended the operation in differ
ent hands and under diverse circ,luI-
stances. II You wish to graft grape
vines this spring, it will have to he
done very early. C., before the
sap begins to flow, OF you must wait
lutil the vines have made Il growth
of several inches. If the scions are
inserted at the time the sap is flow
ing most rapidly in spring, while it
is very thin, and before any has been
assi,nilatcd by the leaves, it will
press through and over the scion,
and, to use common phrase -" draw
it,"
If the scions can be inserted a
month before vines commence grow
ing, it is better than to wait until
latter period. IF this cannot be con-
veniently done, then wait until the
young shoots are six inches to q foot
long then graft.
The scions should be cut and kept
i'll a cool place, where they will re-
main dormant until used. Cut off
the stocks q little below the surface,
and insert the scion in the ordinary
manner Of cleft grating. Tie in
with string or bass bark, and draw
the soil around the stock and scion,
leaving only the bud exposed. The
scions should not be over three or
four inches long F.; consequently, if
strong, long-jointed wood is used,
there will be but one bud oe each.-

Burglary at British Hollow.


Last Saturday night the store of
Pedlar and Penberty was entered by
burglars. They bored series of
holes with bit, cutting out panel
under a front window, through which
they took out goods amounting to
$500, consisting of readyvmade cloth
ing, boxeslof gaiter. shoes hats, &c
They also secured a valuable double

and barrels 81 inches long. The gun
was valued at SIS, and was probably

secured few dollars in change and
nickes. 1t is to be hoped that the
thieves may be detected in dieposing
of their goods. " Gsl
