GOING HOKE WITH THE GIRLS:
The..entrande into: society may be said to
take plate immediately afterYoyhodd has pass

foie, their beard are presentable. It is a great
trial, either:at a tender or. a 'tough :age.- ,For
an.overgrown. boy to go to 'a door, knowing
there is.a dozen girls inside; and kaow'Or
ring with absolute certainty thorn two :min
utes all their eyes will be upon him, is a severe
test of courage. To go : before these girls and
make .a satisfattorrtour of the 'room: withoilt
steppingYn' their toes; and sit down and dispose.
of one's hands Wlthout them in ones
pocket, is an achievemeMhich felir boys can
boast: If - a boy can go so fel: as to measure
off ten" ards of tape with one of thogirls;and
cut it short at each end, he may stand a chance
to,pass a pleasant evening; but , let him Pet fiat_
himself that all the trials of
,"the evening
are over. „ . '•
There comes, at last; the breaking up, The
deir girls don their hoods, and put op' their
:shawls, and look so saucy and mischievous;
and UnimPressible; and inderendent, as If they

.pluck Makes to the . prettiest girl; his heart in'
his throat, and his-tongue`clinging to; the roof
of his month, and crooking up' his 'elbow; stain
iners out the words; “Shall.l . see you home P'

HINTS TO PARENTS.- 4 ilf you practice, sever.
ity, Speak.harshly, frequently punish in anger,
you will find 'your children will imbibe your
spirit'and manner. But if you are' wise, and
treat your little ones with tenderness, you will
fix the image of loire in their minds, and they
will love you • and each other, and in their con
versation will imitate that which, they have
.heard •from the tenderest friends that children
have on earth." Childhood is tho-no Wing sea-
son, and although the fruit may • not be devel
oped until lateat night, it is very rarely that
good seed fails to produce a bountiful 'harvest.

A FAIR BUSINESS TRANSACTION.
' We, print, in another column an extract from
a Natchei pope!, describing the circumstances
attending, the sale Of fifty-Six slayee, which
were disposed of at auction in-Mississippi, on
account of the Rev. Dr. Potts; pastor. , of'the,
liniversity place Presbyterian dutch in this
city. It seems that the reverend Doctor held
fifty-six slaves as security for tbeprincipal and
interest 'of a . mortgage, and that they were
sold at auction to satisfy his claim. This is
a fair bueinesi transaction, and probably Dr.
Potts was so horrified at- the' idea of having
anything to do with slaves that hc„ like many
other Northern- theoretical abolitiOnists who
come into possession of *that kind of property
in some unexpected way; sold his niggers .at
the earliest possible opportunity. Our South=
ern cotempotary'blarnes Dr. Potts for selling
imgroes in 1854, and Preacblng an abolition

that, like most anti-slavery people, he. had al
ready made all the money he could. 'out of the
business,, end was therefore at libertyto re
lieie his mind nn the - subject. • 'Probably Beech.
Cheever, and 'all the other abolition par
sons, would do the 'seine thing: if they were
placed in the position of. Dr: .Potts. He lends
money on interest—that 'is his worldly busi
ness-7Vvith nigger ilecortties I he preaches ab
olition sermoris—that is his way of keeping
square with the other world.', The Doctor Us

his congregation, being, like Saint - Paul, etAll

either the Southern or Northern press, religious
and secular, willview the apparent contraction
between Dr. Potts/ principles and his practiCe
from the broad , philanthropic stand-point which
we ha , ie assumed, but we should like to hear
from the Tribuha and the Independeizi on the

anti-slavery party of the North, and a hoit of
ills have been let loose'N;ori the community ;
but it is not so.erisy to shut them up again in
their prison or to, remedy the. eonsequencee.--
Let us see what may be done.
There'ean he no doubt in the mind of any
impartial absertier, that- the falling oft in the
shoe trade Which has led to low wages and
strikes, originated in the Withdrawal of the
Southern custom from New England, find that
such-withdrawal' woe the direct effect of the
anti-slavery crusade against the South,e(whicif
New England is the head-quarters. 'As long
as it was confined to mere agitation It was en
dured by the South, .though withouffi.dignation
and disgust. But when it came to blows, and
John - Brown, with his insurgent gang of trai
tors) aided and assisted by funds from the - very
'men in Massachusetts whii,were directlY or in
directly deriving 'a subsistence fronl the South,
'invaded:Virginia for the ,purpose , of treating a
servile insurrecfior, and abolishing by force
: and arms.the institution of the South, the ',if;
fair assumed a very difierent astittt.. Not Wee .
this the worst feature of, it. The Jittiniseme4
of the invasion by great public, meetings in, the
principal cities, including Boston; without nne
word of dissent, and the ringing of bells and
other.marki of reverence and respect, : if noto f
hero-worship, Which' signalized the'day 'of hii
'execution, in the towns of New • Engfand, were
sufficientto rouse' even'a .less spirited people,
than nut brethren of the South.into an attitrale
of defiance and reprisals..To: crown all, the
infamous book of Hinton Howirn Helper, which
suggest massacre of the white population of
the .South .as the - short Way to end .disputes
about slavery, was endorsed,by the leading men
of Neiv E . ngland and the North, including W..
H. Seward sixty-eight members of Con-,
gress. If the Southern people did not resent
this.they would be meaner than the worm that
turns upon the foot
-shat treads it.
..They did
l i .resent Rh) , withdrawing their business,` and
the consequence unfortunately • is that the in
hocent suffer with theguilty. . . •
.Now there is just one way . of redressing the
innocent and punishirig the guilty, and that is
by the constitutional Woripon'of the ballot box. ,
'Let everyman vote.against the party . which
has brought such evil upon• the
: North until if
is'crushed oat, and the South is satisfied that
the : people of New England do not sympathize
with their enemies; persecutors and slanderers.
Thus will harmony be restored, and the friend
ly relations and business intercourse which ex-
isted in formai% times will be establialied once
more, and there will be no need of strikes, for
he increase of besineas will compel the mane
fixcturers to pay more. satisfactOry • wages to
their hands.•• . , . • • • • • •••
