The deacon did not know what to make of it. He had often passed round before, but no such eflccts Jmd he ■ witnessed. The deacon was fairly puzzled. . The secret however, leaked out. He had been afflicted a day or two with a sore ori the end of hfc? nasal appendage, and had placed a small piece of sticking plaster over it. Daring (ho morning of the day in question, the dea con seeing it as he supposed, oo tho floor, ■picked it up and stuck it on again. But- alas, for men who sometimes make great mistakes, he picked up instead, one of those pieces of paper which tne manufacturers of spool cotton paste on the end of every spool, and which read— “Warranted to hold out 200 yards."—Such a sign on such a nose was enough to upset the gravity ortiny congregation. * Spring Fashions in tub Spirit World.— Betsy L. G., whose letters from the Spirit world, are published in the New England Spir ilualist, thus describes the spring stylo of dress in her ‘digginV: “The males generally wear loose white gar ments with a girdle made of different kinds of material, generally of silver or gold cord. Some wear jewels, but this is not common. They wear their hair and beards long, and sandals of velvet of various hues. 1 The-females are more elaborate in dress; they have more taste that way, and arc allowed to indulge it, for the mo tives ot dress here fire not ns of earth. It is not for vanity, or any such motive, but from a love of the pure and beautiful, and a desire to do every thing pleasant in the sight of God, I generally dress in a light blue dress made Ipose and flowing, or bound with a silver or while silk; ft silver cord around the waist.or a jewelled girdle. I wear my long hair braided, and sometimes flowing, or bound with a silver band. I have also white drcsscii of so fine a fabric, that they look like Hr; this kind I am very fond of wearing. With such a dress I wear an emerald girdle,, made in the shape of leaves, and forming a wreath; this is clasped by one largo pearl. I bind my hair with a string of pearls when I wear such a dress. I wear white slippers.* 1 . T«PORT4XCJ».Or UICCBBATIOH.—IIon. Edw'd Everett in a great speech at a,Wtbsur jVatiral, made- tfio following admirable remarks upon the importanceof recreation to our people: The Americans, as a people—at least the professional, and mercantile classes—hare too little considered the importance of healthful generous recreation. They hare - not learned the lesson contained in the rcry word which Inches that the worn-out man is re-created, made over again, by the seasonable relaxation of the overstrained faculties. The old world learned (his lesson years ago. and found out (Herod 1, 173) (hat as the bow always bent will at last break, so the man, for ever on the strain of thought and action, will at lasi go mad or break down. Thrown upon a new con tinent—eager to do the work of twenty centu ries in two—the Anglo-Almcrican population has over worked itself. From morning to night—from January to December—brain ahd hands, eves and fingers, the power of the body and and (he power of the mind aro in spasmodic, merciless activity. There ts no lack of a few tasteless, soulless, dissipations. Which aro called amusements, but noble ath letic sports, manly oul-doOr exercises, aro too little cultivated, in town or country. (L/'Punctuation not only serves to make an author’s meaning plain, out often saves ns from being entirely misconceived. There are many eases in which a change of points com pletely alters the sentiment. An English statesmen once took odvaatage of tliis fact, to free himself from an embarrass ing position. Having charged an officer with dishonesty, Jic was required by I’arliaraent.un tier a heavy penalty, publicly to retract the accusation in the House of Commons. At the appointed llino ho appeared with a written re cantation, which he read aloud ns follows ; “I Said ho was hlshoncst, it is true; and I am sorry for.” This wss satisfactory; but what was the surprise of Parliament the following day, to see the retraction printed in the paper thus: “1 said ho was dishonest; it is true, and lam sorry for it.” By a simple transpo sition of the comma nnd semicolon, the Ingeni ous slanderer represented himself to the coun try, not only as having made no recantation, but even as having reiterated the charge in the very face of Parliament.

[To our minds there is something exceeding ly touching—touchingly simple—in thc*follow ing picture of a “Little Lone Crane,” encoun tered in an overland expedition to California, some four years ago. The incident is narrated in the Placcrvillo (Cal.J “ American , There is no true parent who can read ic without a “fruitful river i* the eye.‘ “The overland emigration to Californio in 1852, was immense, and attended with much of. sickness and death. Hardly a company, that was not declminatcd, and many doubly so. Nett-made graves that, during the first ten days upon the plains, possessed at h-vst a passing melancholy interest, sufficient to turn tho step of tho traveller, if only just to kn6w tho name and where from, at length became so numerous as hardly to attract a passing no tice. unless in the. immediate vicinity of our camping-grounds. We had encamped upon one of the,very small streams between the Lit tle Blue and the Blotto rivers; we were all joyous and happy: our animals as 'yet in ex cellent condition, our company all in good health, and wo had not been long enough upon the plains to know or feel fatigue. It was Saturday afternoon, and we hod .stopped early, where water and grass were abundant, and in tended to remain there over Sunday. Tents wore pitched, our horses quietly graz ing. and mirth and gaiety resounded through tho camp. More than ono of us had observed, a little strip of board no wider than a man’s hand, standing upright amid'the green grass but a few rods from our wagons. One of our company thinking it would make good kind ling, went out to get it, but returned without it, saying nothing. Another went, and ho.loo, relumed without it; and yek another and an other; and as they returned all seemed less joyous than before. Our own curiosity was excited, and we,-too, with a companion, went out to see it, and discover if possible its appar ent sacredness. On approaching it, we found ourselves approaching a lone, little grave ! The puny mound of eartlT was fresh, and the green grass around it had hardly recovered from its recent tramping: and newly cut, as with a pen knife, upon the frail monument, "were these words : Some Nose. • “ But we had no means of ascertaining whose'Little Mary* it was. .As the sun was yet an hour high or more, it was proposed that we should go on a mile or two to other camp ing grounds: and without a question being asked, or a reason given, it was unanimously approved and carried, in to effect. But the true and only cause was, the nearness to our camping ground of that lone, little grave and its frail monument.*' - IWPleflmc of Knowledge. .

It Is as capable of receiving Ideas as (he eye, is of conveying them, or the impressions out of which Ideas are made. All healthful minds admit of improvement, and that perhaps to an indefinite degree. It is an error to ima,- gine for a moment that some minds may not be enlarged and beautified. If the mind be sane, it is not only possible to nourish and expand it. but it is easy to do so. If the senses are at all exercised, the mind must all necessarily be to some extent unfolded. The eye will receive impressions, and the ear will catch sounds, and transmit the result to the mind. This U a law of man's mental constitution, and necessary as anything can be. The inevitable condition of the mind .is, that it shall bo affected for good or for evil, in proportion as the senses are wrought upon by eternal objects.
