InHuence of Newspapers.

The Boston Trareller states that
school teacher who had enjoyed
the benefit Of a long practice Of his
profession, and had watched closely
the influence Of a newspaper upon
the minds Of family Of children,
gives as a result Of bis observation
that, without exception, those schol
ars Of both sexes and ali ages who
who have access TO newspapers st
home, when compared with those
sho have not, are:
|. Better readers, exeelliDg in
pronunciation, and consequently
read more understsndingly.
2 They are better spoilers, and
define WORDS with ease and accuracy
3. They obtain q partial knowE
edge Of geography in almost ball 'he
time il requires others, as the news
paper has made them familiar With
the location of important places aud
nations their governments and do
ings-
They are better grsamarians,
for having become familiar with eve
nv variety Of style in the newspaper,
from commonplace advertisements 70
the finished and classical GRAFTON OF
the statesman, they more readily
comprehend the meaning Of the text,
and consequently snslyze its construc-
lion with accuracy.

Oh, the changes viii foIi0w the years as they 20,
And shaJows must mingie withsunlisht we know
The flowers we gather viii wlther a; last;
The Eongs . are singing be lost In the past;
Some links rlrs5 be broken il lies golden chain.
And bells that rang sxeetly may not ring again
Yet why need mourn, looking back ) 'erthe way,
When forth in the future such brightness may
stay;
For all ofour losses comes something OF gain.
And pleasure elose foil0ws the footsteps Of pain.
Oh, the river that foweth forever the same
May follow one channel and bear the one name;
But the flowers ca It's margin, the trees and the
grass,
Forever must change with the seasans that pass.
And thus our af1eckions-the stream Of the soul
Right onward. forever unehanging shall roll,
Though that which hath blossomed once fair by
its side
May sink away siesly with times ebblng tide.
Oh, why need we sorrow for Joys that are gene,
While the life-gissne river forever flows on:

TIE PRESENTATION EPtDEMrc.-Thert
seems to be an infection among the river
men for presentations. We have during
the past few weeks noted in these columns
several instances in which popular steam
boatmen were Fecipiants Of gold.headed
canes. Yesterday morning Dr.. Kelley, oil
the Fourth Street NJ. E. Curch, was invit.
ed to tender on behalf Of the crew Of the
Courier a gold.head cane to Capt. Jack
Harrison. Tho reverend gentleman was
present, and with the customary remarks
presented the stick TO Capt. Jack who, not.
withstanding his surprise managed to
say few words in reply. A few moments
afterwards Capt. John Murine arose and
in pleasant an appropriate speech pre-.
scented to the Doctor, on behalf Of the
riyermen, and elegant silver cake basket.
The clergyman responded briefly, but
feelingly. The affair was managed I'D.
mitably, and was a surprise TO both the
recipients.
