0oAA o'0AnAont Aau alreauy mapped out
the fate of this country. The wholesome
lessons impaired by them to the American
people brought about the revolution which
resulted in the establishment of the repub-
lie, at first embracing but few colonies,
sparsely populated, but now composed of
nearly three times that number of large
and influential States, with a combined
population of over forty millions and
vast amount of territory ready to be made
into States. The seeds of civil and re-
ligious liberty have taken such deep root
in this country that neither licentious
press nor the corruptions of politicians can
destroy them. The great body of our peo-
pie have availed themselves of the adyan-
tages of public education and are fully
prepared to maintain republican govern
ment; for with education must come
much wisdom and goodness, though
evil will exist under the best regu-
lated government; and among the
worst evils that can affiict republic is |
licentious press. The people in this
country understand this thoroughly; and |
it is well they do, for the press, it must be |
confessed, might otherwise be more pow
erful for injury where it is venal and can
be subsidized, than the bowling derna-
gogues of other professions that infest So
ciety. As an honest press is one of the
of republican government so is
dishonest press always endeavoring to
nislead the people. But with republican
government these are necessary evils that
he people have to guard against They

A STORY FOR THE CHILDREN.

A friend of oufs told us story little
while ago, which interested us so much
that we want to tell it to all our little
friends. This gentleman owned a fine
horse, which was very fond of him, and
would come from the pasture at the
sound of his voice, and follow him about
like a dog. Well, at one time the horse
became lame, and was obliged to stay in
his stable, and not to be used for many
weeks, and it was during this time that
Mr.. c. became interested to see how
much the horse knew and how kind his
sympathies were.
An old cat had made her nest upon the
scaffold just above the horses manger,
and had laid there her little family of
five kittens to bring them up under good
tuition, We suppose. She and the horse
got on nicely for some days. She jump
ed down into his manger and went of
for food, and then leaped ap to her kit
tens again. But one morning she rolled
off into the manger, with her foot bleed
ing and badly hurt, so that she could
scarcely crawl, but she managed to leap
away on three feet and get her break
fast; but when she came back she was
entirely unable to get up to her kittens,
and what do you think she did? She
lay down at the horses feet, aud mewed
anu lookeu up seNeTai Uiiiess tiii az iast
pony, seeming to understand her wants,
reached down, took the cat i'm his teeth
and tossed her up on the scafiold TO her
kittens, who, we doubt not, were glad
enough to see her.
This, Mr., G. told us, he saw repeated
morning after morning. Kit would roll
of into the manger, go and get her
breakfast, come back, and be tossed up
to her family by the kind horse, who
must have understood cat language and
been willing to listen to it.

THE KNOH FAMILY GATHERING:
DIAMOND WEDDING,

The celebration of the sixtieth ami
versary of the marriage of Gen. John s.
Knox and wife being at Knoxboro,
Oneida county. on the 9TH inst, the
Utica Herald, describes the family and
the preparations made for tile celebra-
ton as follows; ''Tenyears ago, Mr.. and
Mrs. Knox celebrated their golden we'd
ding. At that time, around the aged pa
rents were gathered their ten children,
five boys and five girls, with their Faith
ers and children In an unbroken family.
Each felt that no future reunion of the
family would be joyous in such fun
roll call. Although possessed of unus-
ual vigor, the aged pair would, i'm all
likelihood, be separated OH earth or both
be reunited In the land of eternal rean-
len. Ten years have rolled by and the
family is again assembling, only one
name Is In memory. The missing MEM
ber of the family is Mrs. Rhodes, wife of
Hon. Charles Rhodes, of Oswego, who
died q year or two ago. There are over
thirty grandchildren alive, the princi-
pie portion Of whom will be present dur
ing the week. With the exception of
Mr.. James Knox, all ofthe sons are grad

father is trustee. Four grand-child-

COUNT ZHNZkNDORE AND THE
DIVE.

Count Zinzendorf was a great German
noble. who lived to do a great deal of
good i'm the world.
When a boy, he was one day playing
with his hoop near the banks of deep
river, which flowed outside the walls Of
ocastle, where he lived. when he espied
dove struggling In the water. By some
means the poor little creature had fallen
into the river, and was unable to escape.
The little count Immediately rolled
large wash tub, which had beec left near
to the waters edge, jumped into it, and
though generally timid on the water, by
the aid of a stick he managed to steer
himself across the river to the place
where the dove lay floating and strug-
Cling. With the bird in his arms he
gbided the tub back, AMI reached the
land in safety.
After warming his little captive tend
erly in his bosom, the boy ran with it
into the woods and set it free. His
mother, who had watched the whole
transaction from her bedroom window,
in trembling anxiety for his safety, now
came out. "Were you not afraid ?'' she
asked. ''Yes, was, rather," answered
the little boy; ''but could not bear that
it should die so. Rou know. mother, its
little ones might have been watching for
1t to come liome."

HABITS, OF THE, BALTIMORE
..s- OYSTER. ;s.s 1.,..r.,.. -.

In conversation with prominent
oyster packer, says the Baltimore Amer
icGn, some curious and interesting fea-
lures of the oyster trade were related.
As is we'll known, the habits of the BIZ
valve are an entire mystery; what it eats
and how it lives are questions not yet
understood. The spawn of the: oyster
floats around with the action of the
waves and tides, and adheres to what
ever it may come into contact with.
Oysters taken from a rocky bed are of
superior quality: those taken from a
soft bottom are comparatively poor in
quality. Thousands. of s'poor innocent -
oysters die. annually from resting. on a
soft bottom, a fact which should arouse
the sympathies of all tender-hearted
people. ,...-.-. 60. - iI.....
The weight Of the oyster. as it grad

face, and as soon as it is, covered with
sediment or mud, it dies. Many people
suppose that the oyster really eats, and
