The Deformities Of Children.

No child Is more tenderly loved than the nm
fortunate one, If the misfortune be blindness or
deafness or physical malfOrmation. The mother
who could come to hate a child on account of
his natural misfOrtunes would be a brute in
deed. But few mothers reflect that the chiid's
hl-telnper, lrreyerence, or even graver faults
are also the result of natural deformity and
that the child, who is always under censure for
bad qualities, IL inrealty an object of pity. Not
untll parent can be brought to see the matter
IN this light can there be right relation be-
tween parent and child Temper is an inherited
quality, and cannot be broken all at once The

their sons comprise the company.
Oliver Ames, Sc, the father OF oakes and
Oliver, began the business in a very humble
way, first as a manufacturer OF nails, and then
OF shOvels, in 4 small one-story building with
no machinery. The little shop gave way 20

ago, Oliver Ames died, his little nail and shovel
shops had grown 20 be one of the leading in

known and used throughout the world. He died
at an advanced age, having lived TO see Hour
lshing town grow up around him, which, in q
large measure, owed TO him its existence and
prosperity He was universally respected; a
keen, energetic man OF business, yet singularly
straightforward and upright in his dealings.
The Ames family have always been interested
in the welfare OF North EaSton, and every
scheme for public improvement meets their
ready support and receives from them substan-
tial aid. They have always been firm advo-

perceptible effect, for ! win venture 10 say that
no other town in the state in which the foreign
element so largely predomnates, can show so
good temperance record as does this place.
Three or tour years ago Cakes Ames began
building an elegant school house, with the in
tention of presenting il to the district i'm
which he resides, but before its completion
the school district system was abolished. and,
not caring to include the whole town in
his liberality, he offered TO sell the BALD
ing at a slight advance upon cost. AZ
ter much controversy upon the subject, the
town finally bought the house, and some people
have been so ungenerous as to assert that Mr.
Ames knew that this measure was to be brought
before the legislature, and would probably be
successful, and he took advantage of this
knowledge TO realize a few .'dividends'' by
specializing in schOol-houses. OF the two
brothers, Oliver Ames is the general favorte.

A Mystery in the Albany Post ONCE.

On the morning of the 18th, as reported by the
Albany Argus, discovery was made in one OF
the upper rooms of the Exchange building used
as post Office, which has astonished and per
picked all beholders. These rooms have been
closed for seventeen years, and the kew which
uniocks them has been always i'm charge or the
ofhcias of the building; vet on proceeding TO
them saw spectacle which would furnish an
admirable chapter in a sequel to '.The Mys-
teries OF CdOlphO." The floor of the room was
covered with packing cases. vitriol carboys old
papers. maps, &c. In one OF the cases was
found portions of a model m-enyine the
various parts OF which were as bright as if they
had been put there but a few days before The
mystery, however, was not so much on the floor
as II was up among the rafters, for casting his
eyes upwards the clerk saw suspended from
one OF the raffers the skull OF a human being
suspended by string. Immediately under this
skull, upon the floor, were found the whitehead
arm, hand and shoulder, while near by was
one-half of the ribs. But more mysteries vet
remained to be developed Near the door was
box. In which were discovered a large guam
tity Of cinders, some small COAL and pieces of
charred human bones, showing that an attempt
had been made to burn the bones. The skull
was taken down, and it was seen that the skull
had been sawed in half The discovery of An
empty mahogany instrument case on which tx
printed the name of "Dr. Kip" two parchment
deeds of the 18th century, and a number of bot
ties containing chemicals, together with old
cameras used in phOtOgraphing, and many
other articles made up the sum total OF the con-
