It is, not to this particular ease that we are
anxious to call the public attention, any fur
ther than it affords us an opportunity to an
imadvert upon the dangerous and exceeding
1p injurious practice of frightening children
in the nursery, at the family fire-side, and
the social ,!irele, by retailing ghost-stories,
r ,(Yoblin tales, and witchcraft fictions.
Children and young persons have generally
great curiosity in relation to those tales of the
imagination, especially- when they are attend
ed by some gossiping nurse, whose head be
ing empty of good sense has been filled brim
full of ghost legends and black letter recollec
tions. We happen to know something about
this matter by a most unhappy and painful
experience. We know what melancholy ef
fects attend these revelations of goblins and
ghosts in the nursery. We have even now,
while we write, a dim, shuddering ? . reeollee-

the blood chill, creep . and curdle about the
heart—even after the finger of time has plant

These midnight horrors haunt the imagi
nation even to 01(1 age. They may lose some
what of their painful vividness, their appall
ing distinctness—something of their curdling
horror, so potent in its mystery and so terrifie
even in its..impossi;)ility—bat these terrors
linger in the imagination still, ready to be
called up in every suspicious spot, awakened
in every solitude, iii spite of all the judgment

merit, at certain times', even to old age, the
heart will throb with painful distinctness, the
hair will become perpendicular, and a disa
greeable shudder will make the blood cull in
the veins, even when manhood has real ed
its mime. To be sure the judgment soon dis
pels these unfounded fears, but they will
haunt the victim at times, to his dying day.
These are some of the painfully deliterious ef
fects of frightening children in the early sea
son of their growth. How important is it,
that parents should guard them itgainsttliege
groundless terrors, exciting the early imagi
nation, and chaining the trembling victim to
the indescribable,agony of this nervous bond

a business engagement at LaneaSter, went a
little out of the way' to make a friendly call

a small white house, the dwelling of the Gard

whole estate comprises onli• eighteen acres.
On my passage out to Wheatland I fell in
with one
,ofthe thrillers who live near Mr.
Buchanan. Ile spoke warmly of Mr. B.'i
character as a neighbor and a man—said he
was a plain man and a kind neighbor—that
he seldom rode to Lancaster, but traveled the
for his friends—and that Miss Lane, his niece
and. housekeeper, was one of the most accom
plished and benevolent of Indies. My inform
ant- was a warm personal, but not political
friend of Mr. Buck-laic-nan, as lie As called
here. The front gate swtnig . open and seemed
to invite an entrance. I walked in and look
ed round the area. I was a stranger with no
claim upon the inmates of the house, and was
not disposed to intrude. But while I stood
near the gate I saw a gentleman approaching.
I soon perceived it was Mr. Buchanan. He
had been to the city of Lancaster, and was
coming home, with his mail. Ile is a fine
looking man—tall and stout—with a dash of
the old school dignity about him—florid from
his . ,walk—with a wide and benevolent face—
and a speech full of frankness andintelligenee.

that Mr. Buchanan is elected to be the Presi

the people—that extreme men North or South

"Dr. Franklin appeared at Cotirt in 'the cos 7

and plain coat of brown cloth contrasted
strongly with. the powdered cuViire.y and the

novel. yet dignified appearance, charmed the
ladies of the Court, and many were the fetes
given him, not only cur his fame as a philoso
pher, but in
_acknowledgment of .his patriotic
virtue , , which led him to enrol himself among
the noble supporters of the cause of liberty.

it as that of her husband. A handsome ma

The boudoir is to be hung with cloth of gold,
looped with silver cord. It seems that the
sultan has destined this unique specimen of
oriental recklessness of expense to be his fa
vorite retreat in the garden of the seraglio,
whence every ray of daylight is always to be
excluded, and w . here, he intends to retire for
the repose and solitude he cannot enjoy in the

A tall, rough-shod, sharp visaged, good na

aboat a week ago, fresh from the '`mountains, ~ '
and put up at what might - be called one of our
third-rate houses. The rules were like those
at most other establishments of the kind, board
being taken by the day, week or meal. Jim
Potter (we take the-name from the register,)
had "gene in" by the week, with the under
standing with the landlord that he was to be
credited for what he called "lost time," at the
usual rate. There was nothing very unusual
in this arrangement; though it did not turn
out altogether to the landlord's satisfaction.
At the end of the second day, it occurred
to Jim that be had not seen Sacramento for
upwards of a year, and as a thought with him
was almost a deed, he without saying a word
to the landlord, disappeared. Ile spent 'the
remainder of the week at Sacramento, and
reached his boardipg house here just in time
to find the proprietor calculating that Mr.
Jim Potter was indebted for one week's board,
It ditln't take Jim long to prove that be had'
been out of town four days and the bill against
him was cut down accordingly.

spoke on this subject:
"3lany farmers are destroying the produc

as they suppose their title deeds only they them a right to six inches of earth. If they
will take their deeds, study their meaning,
and apply the le4sou to their fields; they Will
soon realise, in three lidd crops, that the law
has given them three farms where they s u p„
posed they had only one ; in' other words, that
the sub-soil, brought up and c ombined with
top-soil, and enriched with the atmospheric
influences, and those other eletnen`o which
a g ricultural science teaches them to apply to
their ground, will increase three-fold •the
measure .if its productiveness." "
. Prevent Cows from holding up their
Milk.—The following though going the rounds
credited to another paper, appeared first in
the Agriculturist, a year or two since. It
will bear repeating : "One of the best meth
ods to prevent cows front holding up their
milk, is to feed them at the time of milking..
If this is done, they will give down their milk
freely. But if yon neglect to feed them, they
will hold it up, so that it is almost impossible
to get any from then;. Try the experimentof
