Little Gitls I cannot well imagine a home more incomplete than that one where there is no little girl to stand in the void of the domestic circle which boys can never fill, and to draw all hearts within the magic ring by the nameless charm of her presence. There is something about little girls which is especially lovable ; even their willful, naughty ways seem utterly void of evil when they are so soon followed by the sweet penitence that overflows in such gracious showers. Your boys are great noble fellows, gen erous, loving, and full of good impulse, but they ..re noisy and demonstrative, and clearly as you love them, you are glad their place is out ofdoors; but Jennie with her li—ht step is always Iwsid.• pAr ; she brings the slippers for papa, and with her pretty dimriled finer= unfolds the paper for hint to read: sho puts on a thimble no bigger than a fa; ry's. and with solue very mysteriou, of "doll rills , up a small rocker by mamma, with a wonderful assump tion of wonmn ly dignity.

He added that he hail derived great help front equa tions of this kind, which at least ren dered him less liable to take rash steps. Brotherly Lone Were all Cltristians to dwell on the virtues of their fellows—were they to talk of each other's excellencies and amiable traits, throw the veil of Chris tian charity over each other's little faults, how much more love there would he among the followers of ( 'hrist!

Theexampleof Christians wouid then eonvince the world of the reality of religion, and the unanimous excla mation of the world would he: " See how hese C.'hristians love." Christians then would he one, and the world would know how to lie followers of Christ. Then let us love one another, and I)(' more anxious to see in each other some thing of the likeness of Christ, than to notice and talk of cock other's faults. Mint is life ? Darkness and form less vacancy for a beginning, or some thing beyond all beginning ; then next a thin lotos of human consciousness finding itself afloat upon the bosom of waters , without a shore ; then a few sunny smiles and many tears; a little love and infinite strife ; whisperings front Paradise, and fierce moakeries from the anarchy of chaos ; dust and ashes, and once more darkness circling round as if from the • beginning, and in this way minding and making an island of eF fantastic existence. VOLUME 65. Message from the Moon Of all the heavenly bodies, the moon is the nearest to us and the easiest to observe. ft is especitllly interesting as the boundary between astronomy and meteorology ; everything above the moon is in the celestial heavens, and consequently belongs to the former science ; everything below the moon is in the terrestrial sky, in the atmos phere, and therefore lies within the do main of the latter. The connection be tWe'VTl the moon and the earth is closer than is often Suspected. If a line be drawn from the centre of the earth to the centre of the moon, there lies in it a point i much nearer to the moon than to us) v. - here the moon's and earth's attraction 011 any material object are exactly equal. If the object be remov ed a little towards us, it will be drawn towards the earth; if it Is , removed a little from its, it will Ire drawn towards the moon. Arago has calculated the force ❑eces.sary to shoot a body from the moon to reach this intermediate point of i //ri Ulll, :111 , 1 finds it by no means an in7possible or unattainable force.— Conseijuently, it is not improbable that many, t Iwurh perhaps not alli of the meteoric stones that fall are sent, hither frnm t moon.

JoIIN DANDOI.I'II AND THE DANDY. --John Randolph, of Roanoke, was in a tavern, lying on a sofa, waiting for the stage to (mite to the dour. A dandified chap stepped into the roost with a whip in his hand, just etime from a drive, and standing liefore a mirror, arranged his hair and collar, quite unconseiousof the presence or the gentleman on the sofa. After tittitutlinizing awhile, he turned to go out. when Mr. Randolph asked Hint: " Has the sine eoniti ": 4 tae. sir: stage," said the fop ; " E\ - 'f' nothitig to do with it, sir."

Never Too Old to Learn Socrates at an extreme age, learned to play on musical instruments. Cato, at eighty years of age, thought proper to learn the Greek language. Plutarch, when between seventy and eighty, commenced the study of Latin. Boccaccio was thirty-five years of age when he commenced his studies in po lite literature; yet he became one of the three great masters of the Tuscan dia lect, Dante and Tetrarch being the other two. Sir Henry Spelman neglected the sciences in his youth, but commenced the study of them when he was between fifty and sixty years of age After this time he became a most learned anti quarian and lawyer. Colbert, the famous French minister, at sixty years of age returned to his Latin and law studies. Ludovivo, at the great age of one hundred and fifteen, wrote the memoirs of his own times. A singular exertion, noticed by Voltaire, who was himself one of the most remarkable instances of the progressing of age in newstudies. Ogiliy, the translator of Romer and Virgil, was unacquainted with Latin and Greek till he was past the age of fifty. Franklin did not fully eommence his philosophical pursuits f ill lie had reach ed his fiftieth year. Aceorso, a great lawyer, ladle , asked why he began the study of law so hoe, answered that tndeed lie began it hue, but he i.ould therefore master it the sooner. Dryden, in his sixty-eighth year, coinmeneed the translation or the Iliad; and his most pleasing productions were written in his old age. Cl - 11.101 'S FEAT IN PHYSIOLOGV.—It is a remarkable fact that persons losing themselves in the forest, or in a snow storm, manifest invariably a tendeney to turn round gradually to the left, to the extent even of eventually moving in a circle. The explanation of this is found probably in the laid that the limbs and muscles of the right side are 1110 re developed than those of the left side. Shoemakers say that, as a general tiling, the right foot is somewhat larger than the left, and that the right hoot wears out first. I "iiiler the excitement felt when one is lost, and, in t he absence of any guiding line, the superior energy of the right limbs throw the pedestrian insensibly round on the left. It may also be remarked that in the ancient re ligious ceremonies of every country cir cular or Heade ilanee were a prevalent custom. Ax AsTouNiilin DEAcoN.—lti the city of 1-1 there resided a worthy deacon, blessed or cursed with a tall, gaunt ligure, also with Monk of emir mous dimensions. He was strictly pious, never failing to ask a Messing not only when his own ramily dined but also at the servants' meals. thi one occasion he employed a male servant who was entirely ignorant of the Ileac iai's reli gious propensities. Ile made his appear ance shortly before the dining hour, and as soon as the hell sounded the servant started for the table, and without cere mony commenced devouring the good things. The deacon was horrified, and exf;iinding his Bands saying, Pause young man—pause i"l'he young man addressed raised his eyes significantly to the deacon's upraisA hands, and r(- plied, "lies, and pretty good-sized paws, f should say' The man who wrote the four simple limos, beginning with " Now I ]ay me down to sleep," seemed to do a Very littlething. He wrote four lines for his little child. Ili,: nano. has not eonie down to us; but he has done more for the good or his rate than if he had com manded the victorious army at Water loo. The little tires whieh the good man kindled here and there on the shores of time never go out, Lit ever and anon they flame up and throw light on the pilgrim's path. There i, hardly any thing so fearful to my mind, reaching down the coming age as writing itself for evil upon the minds of tinhorn gen erathins. Once upon a time a clergyman in a small parish was -about to lose one of his parishioners, who asked a letter of dis mission to a sister ehurch. The elergy man questioned hini as to his motives for leaving. Have you any fault to find with my preaching, brother?" "Not for myself," was tin' , reply. " What ob jection has your wife followed up the inquisitor. " Oh, none at :ill !" "Where, then is the trouble, my friend "Why, my son says that lie can't understand what you mean' ., The minister looked sober fora moment, and t hen rejoined— " Well, brother, I .suppose you must go: for I can't preach and find brains too." Crinoline has become additionally expensive in Paris from an unexpected cause. An ecclesiastical commission has lately heel] 10-hl in that city to (ion skier ti n incri ,, eil space in church-room which has been necessitated by the wearing of hoops. It was found, by actual demonstration, that the space which ten years ago accommodated one hundred ladies will now seat only thirty-seven, and the church authorities have therefore determined to charge every erinoline-clad female for three sittings. The women will he obliged to take in sail. SOI FOB(.,?Al ES. -T discussion on grapes at the late meeting of the Ohio Pornological Society at Toledo, among other things introduced the question as to the soil on which the best quality of grapes were grown. There seemed to lie but one opinion, and that was that thestrong,elayey soil, or one of loamy clay with a limestone or even slaty clay subsoil produced grapes much heavier in must, and therefore of better quality, than any variety of sand or al luvial deposit. In all eases, however, under-drainage was spoken of as neces sary to success in grape gr 4 ng. —Ohio Forhoy, :Nfolly, - said Joe Relly's ghost to his wile, " in purgatory at pres ent," says lie.

A minister who had been reproving one of his elders for over-indulgence ob served a cow go down to a stream, take a drink, and then turn away. " There," said he, to his offending elder, " is an example for you ; the cow has quenched its thirst, and has retired." " Yes," re plied the elder, " that is very true. But suppose another cow had come to the other side of the stream, and had said, Here's to you,' there's no saying .hew long they blight have'gone on:" - - LANCASTER, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 10, 1864. 4tictliancoo. Our National Debt and our National Re- The Examiner of this city, while a decorous and decent sheet in some re spects, does not scruple to attempt to deedive its readers by - the silliest kind of baseless assertions, jnd the most il logical sophistries. In its last issue it has a string of items paraded under staring heads of the word " remember " printed in large type, arid repeated over and over. It there makes the charge that the advance of gold, and the rise in the price of every article of merchan dise, is the result of a e;inspiracy among certain speculators and Bankers, of whom August llelnioni is chief. A sil lier falsehood was newer uttered, and we wonder how any newspaper having the slightest respect fi the intelligence of its readers could he anmlttced to lie so absurdly. The troth is, :Mr. Chase started on an entirely false tinitheial policy ; one which had heen exploded time and again, both Tii this con itry, during onr war for independettip, .-11111 elsewhere.— The depreciation or lilt h a l er currency, and the consequent rise in gold, and in all article, of inerchantlise, i, the legiti mate result of financiait quackery. 1 ;e -cause the.l.dministration did not foresee the mag,nitude of the war, or what is per haps more true, did 111,1 dare at the .tart to sutfcr the pt , ople to know what WZI, likely to he its probahle cost, they re frained from taxation, and resorted to the ini,eraide expedient of issuing gov ernment paper.

But the poor man, or the man rather who is not rich, and has no distinguished Abolition friends, must go and fight, and under Mr. Lincoln's strategic man agement, we know that fighting, for the armies of the North, is only another name for digging their own graves. Not one in twenty of those who go to the war ever comes back. Any body who will take the pains to reflect, must see that, apart from the information that we have, that this un pitying piece of legislation is actually matured and ready to be offered to Con gress, such a measure is absolutely ne cessary' to the prosecution of Mr. Lin coln's plans, and must come, if he is re elected.

But we have the best assurance, from the fiendish and unappeasabledemands that the Abolitionists have already made, in pursuance of they wonderful policy of preserving " the life of the nation,' by taking the lives of all the people that compose it, that they will never stop this War, no matter whtd it costs, until the white nun are od dead, or te negroes all ' ,free.
