The Little Rain-drop's, Lesion.
A STORY FOR ALL THE CHILDREN WHO
READ THE COMPILER.
Children, I want you to listen to me,
very attentively. I am going to tell you
a little story.
Do you know where the little rain
drops live ? Well, I will tell you.—
They live away up in the bright blue
bky ; and I am sure you as think they
have a very pleasant home. I know 1
thought bO, when a child, and I bavo
not changed my mind about it. yet.
Once upon a time, as all stories begin,
there was a little rain-drop, (liko a good
many children I know, and I am very
sorry to say it.) that was dissatisfied;
not with its beautiful home among the
sunbeams, but because its mission With,
to come from its pleasant home, down
to our world.
It murmured thus: "I don't want to
go down 'to that great. dark planet.—
It is very nice to startler°, and watch
it rolling around every day, but I am
sure, that if I were whirling around
,ritA it, I should grow dizzy. And be
sides, I do not bee what good I can do.
I am so small thrt no notice will be
taken of me. Oh !if I could only stay
here. It is so far, away down there,
and I know tho way is dreary. It
makes mo shiver to think of it."
But tho little rain-drop know that it
murmnred in vain, and I think it must
have concluded that if it must go, it
was better to go at once, for with one,
last, lingering look at its lovely home,
it started with a right good will upon
its mission. It was a mission of love,
although tho littlo rain-drop knew it.
not. The way was long, but the little
rain-drop travelled fast, and the bright
sun sh:ning all along its journey made
it very pleasant. The little rain-drop
had never-left its bomo in the aware sky
before, and it had no idea how pleasant
a world we live in. It reached 'the
earth in safety and soon a great many
of its companions followed it. Ido not
know whether they came, because of
one little rain-drop a good example, or
not., but. they came, and i% was not
alone.
Now, there do you think our little
rain-drop found a home? why, right in
the boll of a white lily, that raised its
drooping leaves to receive the welcome
visitor. The grateful lily lifted its
head, and regaining its lost beauty and
fulness, seemed to breathe forth thanks
to tho little rain-drop.
- This lily was the favorite flower of a
delicate little girl in whose garden it
grew. When she heard tho rain-drop
and its companions coming, for they
made a great deal of noise, rattling
down over the houses, and fences, and
through the flowers, and bushes, she
went out immediately to look at her lily.
She looked pale and weak as she
passed slowly down the garden walk,
but. when she reached her lily and found
it blooming afresh, her pale face was
illuminated with a happy smile, and an
exclamation of joy burst. from her lips,
as she went with quickened steps, to
bear the glad news to her affectionate
mother.
Children, don't you think that if the
little rain-drop could have seen that
happy face, and beard, and understood
that expression of joy, it, would have
been amply repaid for leaving its love
ly horny
Certainly you do, and so do L Was
the ruin-drop e' too small to do any
good" ? Let us see. It refreshed a
beautiful lily that was fading away,
and that lily being the favorite flower
of a sickly child, her heart was made
glad when it bloomed afresh. That
little girl's mother was sad when her
darling child was dejected, and do you
not think her fond heart, rejoiced when
she saw her daughter's smiling face?
I know you will all answer, "yes."
Thus we might gu on, and trace other
pleasing consequences resulting from
the little rain-drop's mission, but it
would consume too mach time, and
probably, it would tire your patience.
You can see from what I have already
told you, that the rain-drop bad a mis
sion, and that it performed it raithfully.
And now, children, a few words to
you. and lam done. Do you know that
each and every one of you has a mia
Mon to perform ? I fancy I hearsome

do? I am ao small." Yes, my dear
Child, you have A . ltlillllioP, and that mis-

sion is to do good. Your duty is to be
obedient to parents, teachers and guar
dians, and to be kind and affectionate
to your brothers, sisters and playmates.
Do not think you are too small. That
is a bad ktionght, a suggestion of that
Evil One - rwho bates to see any ono en
deavoring to do good. Remembor that
beautiful little verse, which says,
Do all you caa, to make those around
you happy, and you will have your re
ward. it will come in the assu rance
that you have endeavored to do your
duty, and the consciousness of the ap
proving smile of your Heavenly Father.
See to it, that like the little rain-drop,
you faithfully perform your mission.

whose amiable disposition, elegant
manners and placid beauty of soul had
endeared her to all who knew her, was,
a year or two ago, compelled to discon
tinue her studies and leave school in
consequence of a partial loss of eyesight
that threatened to become total. She
was entirely unable to read. A num

employed by the family, and she was
even taken to some of our most noted
oculists; but all their learning, dexter

11cr eyes looked healthy, were beauti

seemed deep as her soul was pure, but
they were nevertheleqs to her almost
wholly useless. Notwithstanding this
rather melancholy physical detect, a
young man who had long been devoted
to her offered her his hand in marriage.

ItirThe patriot, John Adams, it is
said, was designed for a shoe maker, like
his father. One day, Deacon Adams,
his parent, gave him some uppers to
cut out by a pattern that had a throe
cornerd hole in it, by which it had hung
upon a nail, and it was found that he
had followed the pattern exactly, tri
angular hole and all. The deacon, up
on seeing this, decided that John wasn't
fit to be a shoemaker, and put him to
learning. The old patriot would have
made a good printer, in an office where
the rule is to "follow copy."

An eccentric American was lately
visiting an English nobleman at lEs
seat in the south of England. Our fel
low countryman has a habit of saying
" how very appropriate !" by way of
commendation to almost everything he
approves of, whether appropos or not.
The statuary around the grounds rn
oeived this favorable notion so frequent
ly that the host became nettled, and de•
tertniand to nonplus his guest. So
stopping before the family burying
vault, he pointed to a figure on horse
back, and said:
" How do you like that statue of
General Jackson P"
" How very appropriate !" was the
reply,
"How do you make that out ?"
" Oh, General Jackson was always
at home amongst. dead Englishmen 1"
was the ready answer.
The host subsided.

What the Census is ,Showing.—Some
of our cities, which have been indul

present population, are being disappoin
ted in the results of the census. The
aggregate population of Cincinnati will
not excsol 160,000. Boston, it is be
lieved, by the journals of that city, will
not be so largo as was expected. ljalti
more has increased 61,000, and has now
a population of 230,000. Philadelphia,
it is estimated from the returns already
made, will bo over 650,000, possibly
680,000, as estimated last January by
those who published the new directory.
Tho population is not yet, given. lts

Those Boots were sent by Mr. Lin

the Capitol, and were drawn by him as
'stationery'. A trifling - exemplification
of 'economy, retrenchment, and reform,'
in paying for boots out of the national
treasury. This is one of the reasons,
perhaps, why his party call him " hon.
est Abe Lincoln." At. the second ses
sion of the Congress of which he was a
member, "honest Abraham" procured
anotherpair of boots, which were charg

Of course this was to be expected. The

of daily pay from the Republican party,
is bound to render a quid pro quo. Any
plan that promises to prevent the elec

italists,_ or rather certaig persons in
England, who co* command a very
large amount of credit, have been en
gaged in speculating in bides and keep
ing up the price of leather. The mar
ket appears to have been too large for
them, or credit too short, for their
speculation has ended in their failure
to meet their peouniaiiy engagements,
and so they are bankrupt. The effect
will be that the hide market will seek
its natural level, and prices be ruled by
the demand and supply. The tendon.

The preeoureondition - of the Democratic
party, its doable nominations, and the danger
of doable organisations in many of the States,
grebe well known to require extended remark.
The question is, whether this condition of
things shall be suffered to continue, with the
certain prospect of disaster and defeat to the
party which has oontrolled the national gov
ernment during a very large part of its exist.
ence, or whether the two sections into which
that petty is unfortunately divided, shall
00-OPZIATZ, seeing they cannot CNITX, and
thus, after all, secure a Democratic triumph.
We address ourselves to the leaders of the
Democratic party in New York, because upon
this State may depend the result of the Presi
dential election, and it is possible for the
Democrats to carry the State. There is a
strong sentiment among the people in favor of
such a policy ; the leading nen-political mon
approve it ; and the signs of the times point to
it its the only policy which can save the State,
and probably the Union, from the evils of
Repeblican rule. In the face of these feats,
there seems to be an inclination among lead
ing politicians to precipitate the differences
now existing, into a permanent feud ; to ar
ray the friends of Douglas and Breckinridge
against each other, and thus to throw awe,
a fine chance for a Democratic victory. Do
they properly consider the inevitable conse
quenoesi of such a stop? Do they realise that
• division thus inaugurated, is to be lasting.
and the quarrel thus promoted, bitter and
unyielding? Du they not see that it muss
not only destroy the ascendency of the party
in New York, but for the first time in many
years place the General Government in the
hands of the Opposition—of such an Opposi
tion as has never yet been in power at We*. -,
ington?
Let us not be told that there is a principle
at the bottom, which prevents united action.
Let it rather be attributed to the blind ob
stinacy of political leaders, who prefer to ruin
the party, if they cannot control its action.—
We have but little faith in the man who is
debarred by principle from co-o rating with
Democrats in support of a tic which will
e
ensure the election of a Democra ic President,
but who sees no principle in the way of de
stroying his party and ikiving the election to
the Republicans.
New York can choose an Electoral ticket
friendly to the election of Breokinridge or
Douglas,--the question between them to be
determined in accordance with a previous ar
rangement, when the time comes for ousting
the vote. She can at the sometime choose
Democratic State officers, and thin arrest the
corruptions which stalk boldly through the
State capital. It rests with the ,political
leaders, who give tone and direction to the
organised action of the party, to determine
whether such a course shall be adopted, and
such results achieved.. They have the abili
ty to prevent, and they
.. lw also the mimes
of promoting, such a triffillidi over *Tubb-

NO. 41.
We hear it said that the policy of the Doug
las party is to refuse all oo.operation with the
friends cf Mr. Breckinridgo in this State, and
to stake their fortunes upon the die of Doug
las or Lineoln. It is possible,. shrewd,
able sod well-informed as they are, that they
mistake the sentiment of the Democracy ; that
they are uninformed respecting the determi
nation of the party in this section of the State,
where Democratic majorities are to be looked
for in a fierce contest with the enemy ; and
that they bays mistaken the forbearance and
moderate action of the friends of Mr. Brea
inridge, for weakness and timidity. If such
is the ease, it is well that they should be un
deceived ; and that they should understand.
once for all, that while there is, on the part
of the Breckinridge men, a tendency to cotu
bine upon any honorable plan which shall
save the country from the evils of sectional
ism, they will not submit to other than fair
treatment and equal consideration. The ac
tion of the bogus Suite Committee at
Syracuse which assumes to speak for the
Breckinridge men of the State, must not bea
mistaken for that of the great body of !tor
anti-Douglas electors, who, while disavowing
the claims of the Committee, know how to
make themselves felt when duty calls them
to action. They have the ability, and tbo
means, to inaugurate and carry on a Genii
paign in New York. and to rally a party
which, for character and effectiveness, will
nut suffer in comparison with any ever organ;•
iced in the State.
We speak thus plainly, because there's.=
to have been a misapprehension in the [abbe
mind on these questions, and because the u
igensies of the day demand frankness and
stnightfcrwardness between Demoorsts.• To
talk of carrying New York for Mr. Douglas
or Mr. Breokinridge, on a divided ticket, is
simply absurd. There is no possibility of
such a result • we believe no sensible poli
tician In the S tate entertains such an expeo
tation. Those, therefore, who oppose the
adoption of a single ticket for Bloaters, sod
for State officers, design and intend to give
the State to the Repuldicans. There can be
no mistake about this ; and it is well thus
they be wade to comprehend to sot
themselves as others see them "—before tak
ing the fatal step which is to dissolve anddi
stroy the Democratic party.
Let other States du as they will,—we of
New York have a responsible duty to perterna
at this time; and it is well, before the oppor
tunity shall have passed away, to have some
consultation, some attempt to save the unity
of the party, and to render possible the suc
cess oC the Democratic kresidential and State
tickets. We forbear comment upon the ac
tion of individuals at Charleston or Balti
more ; preferring to deal with present facts,
and to shape our action in ountertnity with
the promptings of patriotism and duty, mike
light of existing circumstances. And we cat
upon all sound thinking men, who prefer the
success of principles to the triumph of say
faction to determine whether the uoly chance
fur rational political action shall be thrown
away, to gratify the feelings of obstinate sad
ambitious politicians.
The Opposition papers are generally ems
clued with reference to Gen. Foster's positiuu
on the Presidency. Some of them awn,
with much confidence, that he is for D•;aglas,
while others assert equally as coatleutly
that he is fur Breckinridge.
While we do not recognise the right of the
Opposition to inqaire into his preferences,
since it is none of their business, we take
occasion to say that Gen. Foster was nonage
sted as the Democratic candidate fur Gover
nor by the Heading Convention, whieh Clow
