The following laughable affair is from a Look entitled disJief s dottier tSceiies and Characters. The incident is located in North Carolina It is the stury of a man named “ Oliver Stanly," who was taken captive by wild “Injius.” After some consideration they put him in an empty oil barrel, and headed him up, leaving the bungholo open,;that be might be longer dying. • The prisoner relates some portion, of his experience in this wise : I determined to get out of that or bust a trace ; and so I pounded away with my fist,, till I beat it into nearly a jelly, at the end of the barT ; -but it were no go. Then I butted a spell with my Hogging, but I had no purchase like old when they,butt; fur you know the back ever so far when they make a tilt! So I caved in, made my last will and testament' and virtually gave up the ghost. It wur a mighty serious -tUrne with me for sure.; — "While I were IjKng thar, balancing ac counts with t’other world, and afore A had 11. C.

J seen that were my time to make my Jacki; so I seized my holt, and shouted at the top of my voice: “ Charge, Cheater, charge !

Just listen at him-; “ Last V, ednesday afternoon, ‘ to us a ciuid was born,’ but not a son was given. W e tool pround of our baby—it is so pret' ty and sweet, so our better half says. It is a girl, of course —our wife wanted a girl, so we gave up to her—the times being torf 1 ' hard to split the dift'efonce, and have a girl and boy both at once. Our time will come ncat —sec if N it don’t. Our baby weighs eight pounds, and all the ladies say that it is such a pretty little angel, and looks just like its papa. Of course every body will know it is pretty when it resem bles us. It Ims black eyes, dark hair, and the sweetest little face,- and the way it can cry is a caution to a Calliope—but then its little voice is so charming, producing such a harmony of sweet sounds. It was the fifst time that we ever heard our baby’s voice, and what a thrill of happiness did that little voice send through our bosom. “ Uut we are too happy to express our feelings. \\ c arc at least two feet taller than we were before our baby waaboru, and think ourselves good enough; to be come a preacher.- \\ r e pity everybody that hasn’t got a baby, and as for old bach elors, wc entertain a sovereign contempt for them, and intend to lam the first one that presumes to have the effrontery to speak' to us. Poor old maids ! from the bottom of our hearts we fell sorry tor them. Oh, that they could only realize the Nhap piness of a young mother with her first born. Young men, anYyomfg ladies, too, our advice to you is, “go thou and do likewise ’ —it will make you feel so happy to have a baby. We warn everybody not to insult us, lor we feci big enough and strong enough to whip every one of the scccdiug States back into the Union, and a single man a taste fbr : us.— g are-doubly sound - on the Union issue now. We never intend to secede from our baby. NEWSPAPER ARTICLES. A schoolmaster who had been engaged a long time in his profession, and witness ed the influence of a newspaper oh a fami ly of children, writes as'follows: ' ' I Lave found it to be the universal fact without exception that .those scholars of both sexes, and of ullages, who have had access to newspapers; at home, who arc not, are 1. Better readers, excelling in pronun ciation and consequently read more un derstandingly. ’ 2. They arc better spellers, and define words 'with ease and accuracy. 3. They obtain a practical knowledge of geography in almost half the time it requires others, ■as - ' the have made them familiar with the location of the most important places, nations, their government, and doings 1 on the globe. 4. They arc better grammarians/for having become familiar with every variety in, the newspaper, from the common-place advertfsements to tlio finished and 5 classi cal oration of the ■ Statesman, they more readily comprehend itho meaning of the text and consequOntiy analyze its construc tion with accuracy. - . £ * , 0 * "' • *■’ * i. ’ The scholar teacher.

V AN EDITOR’S LOVE STORY- Au editor of a Southern paper .relates as follows how he once fell in dote:. ■ “ Wo were never, reader, ‘desperately in love, but once, andthatwas with a freck led complexion, who had but afew pre tentious to beauty; but thou she had such really beautyful eyes, deep liquid orbs, through which her soul, in moments of tenderness, looked'out in passionate fervor, and in joyous mirth dashing and sparkling with a light of a thousand dcwdrops~rdia \ were going to say—but we nev er saw a thousand. Her nathc was Laura —which, when breathed softly- bj 1 a very soft lover, is a very sweet namc-~and her clear ringing laugh fell around you like a* shower of silver bells. Moreover, she wore a dark, wine colored dress, trimmed with lilac colored velvet and black fringe, with a neat little white collar, of fine laco which is prettiest of dresses; and'has the effect to make a very plain girl look ab solutely charming. She juever perforated her,car to bang thereby a pendulum 'of glass or brass, and the pnly ornament bn the little white hand, wjhich needed none, was a plaid gold ring, sacred to the mom- : ory of a maiden promise. /Well,, pea evening, it was moonlight' in- the summer time—we sat alone on the ; porch, by the cottage door; holding thatlittlc wMte hand in a gentle pressure, b.ut one arm had in advertantly stolen around he* waist, and a silent song of joy, 'like;the music .of the night,- was in her soul. Our lips met in a sweet delicious kiss, and bending- softly to her ear, we whispered, the tale of pas sionate devotion we proposed, In a mo ment sho tore her hand from ours, and with a look of-ineffable scorn; she said, in a, voice trembling with) suppressed rage—” - : i; -T . “What, marry an editor j You «et out!” .

Do men, as a general rule, fear, as , well as admire brilliant women? Arc they content to bast in their brightness, but not wish to possess them ? If so, ladies, there ia in thisAruth deep* matter for your serious conkide&tion. A woman may bo intellectual enough to sparkle like a diamond. But, after all, notwithstanding diamonds -.are pretty things to wear in public, thpy are of little use in the house ! They may create envy in the breast of a neighbor,: but will they awaken an honest loye in one worthy heart? They may bo eflulgcnt in the ball-room, but will they light\up with smiles the domestic circle ? Can you put a diamond to any .of the commcupk but necessary uses of the household ?'
