THE 8Ara9AH8 Tor the !Raftman's Journal." A HYMN FOR CHILDREN T LOOAlf . Dear Jeans, once a little child, Teach me a child, to pray : To thee may I be reconciled; And all thy law obey. Thou didst for sins pon the e'roef Shed thy atoning blood ; Then let it wash my sin away, And seal xny peace with God. Help me forsake all other trust, And trust alone in thee : Eelp me repent of every lust, And thy young servant be. Renew my heart, by grace divine', That I may never stray : And let thy light within me shine, And guide me all the way. And then thy grace I'll ever sing, Nor from thy law depart : And thou shalt be my God and king, And reign within my heart. A HATTER IN SEARCH 07 RUSSIA FUR. Oa one occasion a hatter named Walter Dib ble, called to buy some furs of ns. For cer tain reasons I was anxious to play a joke upon him. I sold him several kinds of fur, includ ing "beaver" and "coney." He wanted some "Russia." I told him we bad none, bnt Mrs. Wheeler, where I boarded, had several hun dred ponnds. "What on earth is a wonian doing with Rus sia ?" be said. I could not answer, bnt assured him that there were ISO ponnds of old Rnshia aud 150 pounds of young Knsbia in Mrs. Wheeler house, and under her charge, bnt whether it was for sale I could not say. OS he started with a view to make the pur chase. lie knocked at the door- Mrs.Whee ler the elder, made her appearance. "I want to get your Russia," said the hat ter, smiling. Mrs. Wheeler asked him to walk in and be seated. She,of course, supposed be bad colne after her daughter "Rushia." "What do you want of Rushia 1" asked the old lady. "To make hats," was the rep!y. "To trim hats, I suppose you mean," res ponded Mrs. Wheeler. "Xo for the outside of hats," replied the hatter. "Well, I don't know much about hats, bnt I will call my daughter," said the old lady. Passing into another room where "Rushia,' the vounzer. was at work, she informed her that a man wanted her to make hats. "O, he means sister Mary probably, I sup pose he wants some ladies hats," replied Ku shia. as she passedjinto the parlor. "I suppose you wish to see my sister Ma ry ; she is our milliner," said the younger Kushia. "I wish to see whoever owns the property,' said thft batter. Sister Mary was sent for and soon made her appearance. As soon as she was introduced, the hatter informed her that he wished to buy "Russia." "Buy Rushia !" exclaimed Mary,in surprise. "1 don't nnderstsnd you." "Your name is Miss Wheeler, I believe said the hatter, who was annoyed at the diffi culty be met with in being understood. "It is, sir." "Ah ! very well. Is there old and young Russia in the bouse." I believe there is," said Mary, surprised at the familiar manner in which he spoke of her mother and sister, both of whom were present. "What is the price of old Russia per pound,' asked the batter. 'I believe, sir, that the old Rushia is not for sale," replied Mary indignantly. "Well,what do you ask for young Russia ?" pursued the batter. "Sir," said Miss Rushia, the younger, springing to her feet, "do you Come here to insult defenceless females 7 If you do we will soon call our brother, who is in the garden, and ho will punish you as you deserve." "Ladies!" exclaimed the batter, in aston ishment, "what on earth have I done to offend you 1 I came here on a business matter. I want to buy some Russia. I was told you bad old and young Russia in the house. Indeed, this young lady jnst stated such to be the fact, but she says the old Russia is not for sale. Now, if I can buy the young Russia I want to do so but if that can't be done, please say so, and I will trouble you no further." "Mother open the door, and let the gentle man pass out ; he is undoubtedly crazy," said Miss Mary. "By thunder ! I believe I shall be if I re main here long," exclaimed the hatter, con siderably excited. "I wonder if folks never do business in these parts, that you think a xnan is crazy if be attempts such a thing 7" "Business ! poor man," said Mary, sooth ingly, approaching the door. "I am not a poor man, Madam," replied the batter. "My name is Walter Dibble ; I carry on hatting extensively in Danbury ; I came to Grassy Plains to bny fur, and have purchased some 'beaver' and coney.' and now it seems I am to be called crazy and a 'poor man' be cause I want to buy a little 'Russia' to make cp an assortment." The ladies began to open their eyes a little. They saw that Mr. Dibble was quite in earnest, and his explanation threw considerable light on the subject. "Who sent you here 7" asked sister Mary. "The clerk at the store opposite," was the reply. "lie is a wicked yonng fellow for making this trouble," said the old lady. "lie has been doing this tor a joke," she continued. "A joke!" exclaimed Dibble, in surprise. "Have you not got any Russia then 7" "My name is Jeruahia, and so is my daugh ter's," said Mrs. Wheeler, "and that I sup pose is what be meant by telling yon about old and young Rushia." Mr. Dibble bolted tbrongh the door without a word of explanation, and made directly for cur store. "You young scamp ' said be, as he entered, "what do you mean by sending me over there to buy Russia T" "I did not send yon to buy Rushia. I sup posed yon were either a bachelor or a widow er ; and wanted to marry Rushia," I replied with a serious countenance. "You lie, you dog, and you know it," be replied ; "bnt never mind, I'll pay you off for that some day." And taking his furs be de parted, less ill-humored than could have been xpecte4 tinder tie circumstances. TERMS OF THE JOURNAL.

An old estate has recently been opened for sale, and the first divi sion ol 10.000 acres divided up into farms of 20 a cres and upwjfWs. Ihe soil is of t'icbet quality for the production of fruits, grains, Ac. The price is 515 to 520 per acre, payable in eafy quarter yearly instalments, within a term of four years, witn interest, ine terms are mado easy, in order to insure the rapid improvement of the land, by enabling entry itulttxtrioin man to buy a farm. It is now being extensively improved by good roads, and some of the best citizens from New England and the Middle States are ereeting large improve ments. It is a scene of the greatest improvement out of Philadelphia Seveuty-fivo houses have been built in 4 months. Practical farmers and bu siness men from the length and breadth of the U nion are settling there. It is an important busi ness place, on account of its being in the midst of a great market. Every article raised on this land finds an immediate sale. The water is excellent, and no such thing as fever is known. The soil is a sandy or clay loam, with a clay bottom and re tentive of manures. It is free of stones aud easily worked. It abounds largely in tha phosphates, and such is its fertility that from the crops pro duced both upon this land and the srea adjoin ing under cultivation, it will be found not to be excelled anwhere in the production of crops most adapted to its market. The reader may be well aware that the earliest and the best fruits and veg etables come from New Jersey, which are annual ly exported to the amount of millions of dollars. The land, besides being accessible in every way for fertilizers, has an abundant supply of the best quality of muck manure. Lumber and building materials can be had en the spot at a cheap price, from the mills Other mills are now being opened, and brickyards being started on the ground. A person can put up a frame tenement for present convenience for one hundred dollars. On account of the extensive em igration, this is the best course to pursue in order togetaplacetoliveinatfirst. Carpenter? and buil ders are on hand to put up houses on the best terms.

JL The successful laying of the trans-Atlantic Telegraph Cable marks a new era iu the histo ry of Human Progress. Henceforth. Europe. West ern Asia and Northern Africa lie within an hour' distance from our shores, and the battle which de cides the fate of a kingkom, the capture of a Vi enna or uioeraitar, tne tail ol a dynasty, the tri umph ot a usurpation, tbe birtn ot an heir to roy alty, the death of a Nicholas or Wellington, in anv country which touches the Mediterranean, the Eu- xine, the Blaek frea or the German Ocean, will be published in New-York the next morning, if not on the very day of its occurrenca. In a moment as it were, we have been thrown into the immedi ate intellectual neighborhood of the whole civiliz ed and a large portion of the semi-barbarous world. The rise and fail of stocks in London or Paris will henceforth be reported from day today in the jour nals of our seaboard cities. The boldest operators in Wall-street wtll refuse to buy or sell until they have rend the quotations of that day's business on the lloyal Exchange and at tho Bourse, whose tracsaciions will have chsoJ an hour or so before ours can begin. A revolution in Paris, an impor tant vote in Parliament, ac insurrection in Italy, a fire in Constantinople, will be discussed kroun! the breakfast-tables of New Xork a few hours cf ter its occurrence. A mighty though silent trans fomiation in tbe condition of human existence baa just been effected by the little wire stretching a cross the ocean's bed from the coast of Ireland :o that of British America, and one inevitable reset: of thi. must be an unexampled community of fee ing and interest among the natives of Christen dom, and a consequent desire for a more intirca'.o aqcuaintance with each other's doings through the medium of the Newspaper Press. It seems hardly possible that thousands should not henceforth reg ularly read their owu journals, who have hitherto been content with an occasional glanaa at those taken by their neighbors; while many who have hitherto been content with a Weekly issue will now require a Semi-Weekly or Daily. In short. Intelligence, always a vital element of growth iu wisdom, success in business, or enjoyment in life, has now become indispensable to all. 27ie Netr York Tribune, now more than seven teen years old, which was the first journal in the world that appeared regularly on an imperial b page sheet at so low a price as twocents. and which has attained the unparalleled aggregate of more than 2u0.tG0 subscriptions, respectfully solicits it share of the new patronage which the Metropolitan Press is henceforth constrained, at a heavy weekly cost, to deserve. It asks especially the patronage and active favor of Republicans' of those wlio hate all forms of oppression, and desire thai eve ry rational being shall be free to employ his facul ties in such innocent manner as he shall derm best of those who wonld extend Liberty and limit Slavery but it further appeals likemi'se to all who look and labor for the return of National thrift, plenty, prosperity, through the Protection of A merican Industry by wisely discriminating duties on Imports all w ho favor National Progress thro internal development and amelioration rather th an by external aggression and extension all who would rather have the National resources de voted to the construction of a Railroad to 'be Pa cific than to the purchase or conquest of Mexico. Nicaragua or Cuba all who would retrench radi cally our present inordinate Federal expenditures by abolishing or immensely reducing the Army and Navy, and expending the money thus saveu on works of beneficence which will endure tobies our children all who profoundly realize that "Kightfousness exaltcth a nation," and that no real advantage can ever accrue to any person or community from acquisitions or successes achiev ed by means which contravene the laws of Eternsl Right The free allotment of limited po.tions of the Public Lands to Actual Settlers thereon, and every hopeful plan intended to diminish th nm of human misery from dearth of employment or inadequate recompense every scheme especially that seeks to help the unfortunate by enabling and teaching them to help themselves must command our earnest sympathy and co-operation. Within the presentyear. The Tribunehts provu ded itself with a new and faster Press at a cost of V.0.000. merely that some of our subscribers may receive their papers a mail earlier than they oth erwisexaight do. With correspondents at the most important points throughout the civilized world, and a staff of writers chosen from among the best in the country, we believe that even those who dis like the politics of our sheet concede to it frank ness in avowing iu convictions and ability in main taining them. We appeal, then, to those who be lieve that an increased circulation of The Tribun wonld conduce to the political, intellectual and moral well-being of the Republic, to aid in effect ing such increase. As we employ no travelling solicitors of subscriptions, we ask our present pa trons in every locality to speak to their neighbors and friends in our behalf; e shall gladly recciva from any friend lists of those who would receive and read a specimen copy of one of our editions, and shall be particujarly grateful to those who may send us such names from post offices at which we have no subscriber. Whatever additions may thus be made to our circulation shall be paralleled by increased, efforts and expenditures to mako our issues more valuable and usetul than, thev have hitherto been. c 1 j j Trii""'e 13 printed on a large imperial short, folded in quarto form, and mailed to subscribers d tbe following TERMS : -Daily Tribune, per annum - - - - S8 BEXl-WErKLT TRliCNE.
