Nor does it follow that the decentlants of laborers ore alsesys to be laborers. The path up ward is steep and long to be sure. Industry, care, skill, excelence in his parent, lay the thundation of a rise, and, by and by, the descendants of the present laborers become gentlemen. It is by at tempting to reach the top at a single leap that so much misery is produced in the world. Society may aid in making the laborers virtuous and Imp py, by bringing children up to labor with steadi ness, with care, and with skill; to show them bow to do as many useful things as possible ;to do them all in the best manner; to set them an ex ample in industry, sobriety, cleanliness, and neat ness; to make all these habitual to them, so that 'they never shall be liable to WI into the contra ry ; to let then always sec a good living proceed ing from labor, and thus to remove from theta the temptation to get at the goods of others by violent or fraudulent means, and to keep from their minds all inducements to hypocrisy and deceit. 10,00 10,00 7,00 15,00 10,00 7,00 10,00 7,00 7,00 10,50 10,00 10,00 10,00 Mrs. Swisshelw on Bigamy, This lady thus discourses on matrhnony, biga my and conjugal duties in her paper, the Pitts burgh Saturday Visitor. She has a free and easy way of treating these subjects; we like her spun k. "We would like to be able to imagine how a women feels when she has succeeded in catching a man, and using the strung arm of law is compet ing hitn to enfold her in his loving embrace! If it is necessary to the public weal that every man should live with his lawful wife, let the public at tend to its own welfare, catch the truant, bring him to the lady he is to love and cherish, and see to it that ho performs these important duties. It surely never can be for the weal of any woman, that a husband who trusts to get away from her should be compelled to stay, and we cannot un derstand the puriotism which could induce her to attend to the business of the commonwealth, and enforce obedience to the laws at her own personal expense! What any woman would want with a husband who had gone off and married another, is more than we eau tell, unless she wished to send his 'tether' wife a pair of gloves, or handsome dress, or some other token of gratitude! She might wish to see their baby and take it a new frock, or a rocking-horse, or something of that sort; but to interrupt their felicity would be one of the last things we should think of. "We cannot imagine how any woman with one spark of delicacy, could ever enter into a contro versy to retails a legal claim upon a husband who really wished to be rid of her? I would rather shovel coal into cellars for a living, lire in a poor house, quit living and die in a fence corner, than live with a husband whom nothing but the strong arm of law could compel to live with me. Out oh such profanations of the sacred marriage tie! Such a semblance of =wrap is like a spirit mule of mud—like an immortal soul manullictured from brick clay. It does not, cannot exist. A husband's love is a good and sufficient reason for bearing with many limits, for sticking to him through poverty, crime, degradation, scoffing and insult—and while a couple prefer each other to all others, the world cannot umnarry them, the legal sanction' to that marriage is necessary and beau tiful; but when law undertakes to continue a mar riage against the will of the parties; it has got beyond its depth, and attempts impossibilities." 10,00 10,00 5,00 7,00 7,00 7,00 5,00 10,00 10,00 12,50 12,50 10,00 10,00 7,00 7,00 10,00 •10,00 15,00 13,00 15,00 15,00 10,00 10,00 10,00 10,00 10,00 7,00 10,50 er"What are you about, dear?" said his grandmother to a little boy,. who was sliding Along the room and casting fugitive glances at A gentleman who was paying a visit.

I pray for thee every night, mother, I pray for thce every night ; When the shadows fall, like a mist o'er all, 'And the vesper star shines bright. I kneel where the tumults wind, mother, Steals into my chamber dim; And the breathing mild, of my sleeping child, Is the only sound witliiu. I pray that the star of hope, mother, May dawn on thy darken'd way; That love, like the air of the summer fair, May some joy distil each day. That sadness and grief mny fade, mother, Like a dream that returns no more; And the tears that flow, be of joy, not woo, As you pass to a brighter shore. At the gate of every joy, mother, A Mordecai sits— Ilat never despair, the seeming ill there, Our Father for good permits. In the heaviest cloud that frowns, mother, God's tender smile I see, Oh, look from the cloud to the smile, mother,— A daughter prays for thee. COME ROUND THE HEARTH Dl' ALFRED CROWQUILL. Cone round the hearth with .rudy blaze, That roars with forked tongue, As if ewould give a chorus wild - To all the lays we sang. Come mother, feather, children all, Como, happy smiling band, Come, mystic chain of fervant love, Linked by great Nature's band; Come round the hearth, Come, bring those star-eyed pledges near, That on life's threshold stand, The buds of our domestic wreath, The strangers iu the land. And let those wondering eyes behold, Their clustering kindred round, And press them to the chain of hearts, To which they must be bound. Come round the hearth. Come, lead those loved and aged ones. To their accustomed place, That they may scan with thankful eyes, Each well remembered face, No absent one calls for a tear, All brighter than before, And rosy lips yet to be kissed, Are added to the store. Come round the hearth. Come round the hearth, then, thankfully, With that heart-cheering glow, That only those who live in love Can well and truly know. Then bless the winter for his snows, Ali I bless him for his cold, 'Tis he that gathers all we love Within our happy fold. Come round the hearth. RECOLLECTIONS OF CHILDHOOD. It only seems like yesterday, The morning fresh and cool, Vhen.tirst with satchel on my arm, I bent my steps to school. My path lay through a pleasant lane, Where leafy boughs did meet Above my head, while, treed in gold, They play'd around my feet. At length, I reached the little school, A calm sequestered spot; 13y me, far down the vale of year, It is not yet forget. Our teacher kindly took my hand, And sweetly on me smiled, For, oh ! she had not yet forget That she was once a child, She still look'd young and beautiful, But to my fancy scem'd That, even in her happiest moods, Of brighter lands she dream's!. She often spoke of some flu• shore, Where all her treasure lay, And said that soon her little bark, 'Would moor within its bay. We thought she'd like the holidays, That thither she might fly— To that bright land, where tears she said, Aro wip'd from every eye. One morn we mised her from the school, Day followed after day, Another teacher filled her place And she still stay'd away And still she stay'd, and neer return'd, For unto her was giv'n A never-ending holiday, In the bright land otheav'n. "Mother," said a little boy, "how long is it be fore the Fourth of July I" "Four weeks from to-day, sonny." "I'll be hanged if I wait," says Bob, "give me my crackers, and I'll fire 'em now."

True Social Dignity, To be ashamed of their origin is, just now, in American Society, the weakness of the little minds that compose it. The man who rides iu his car riage shrinks from the acknowledgement that the money which enabled him to buy that carriage was earned by his father, dollar by duller, with toil and patience, in a tan-yard, behind the coun ter of a shoemaker's or a tailor's shop, or by hon est industry in some other useful occupation, be low (so called) the grade of the merchant or pro fessional man; as if the man did not honor the work, and not the work the man. To such let Daniel Webster speak. Hear him did not happen to me to be born in a log cabin, hut my elder brothers and sisters were born in a log cabin, tnised among the snow drills of New Hampshire, at a period so early that when the smoke first rose from its rude chimney, and curled over the frozen bill, there was no similar evidence of a white man's habitation between it and the settlements on the rivers of Canada. Its remains still exist—l make it an annual visit, I carry toy children to it to teach them the hard• ships endured by the genertions that have gone before them. I love to dwell on the tender recol lections, the kindred tics, the early affection, and the narrations and incidents, which mingle with !. all I know of this primitive family abode. I weep to think that none of those who inhabited it are' now among the living, and if ever I fail in slice-' tionate veneration for him who raised it against savage violence and destruction, chcished all do 'nestle virtues beneath its roof, and through the tire and blood of seven year's revolutionary war, shrunk front no toil, nu sacrifice, to servo his country, and raise his children to a condition bet ter than his own, any my name and the name of my posterity, be blotted forever from the memory of mankind." And we will add, that he who is ashamed of the poor bather and mother, whose honest labor supported hint in childhood, and whose daily toil was taxed to give hint the education by which he has been enabled to raise to a condition above the one they occupied, is unworthy to be the associ ate of wise and good men. All such will dispise him; and no matter how lofty ho may curry his head, he is nothing in the estimation of America's true noblentem—lfoinc Gazate. Spanish Etiquette So snored, et one time were the feet of their Majesties, the Queens of Spain, that to think of them was a peccadillo, to speak of them an out rage, and to touch them a capital offence. Princess Ann of Austria, bride of Philip IV. arriving in Spain, was presented with a parcel of silk stock ingshy the stocking manufacturers of a city where she rested. Her major-domo, swelling with hon est indignation, flung the stockings away exclaim ing,—"Know that, the Queens of Spain have no feet ?" "Alas I" cried the simple hearted bride, bursting into tears, "if I had known my feet were to be cut oft I would never have set foot in Spain I" On another occasion the second con sort of Charles 11. came near losing her life through this ridiculous etiquette. Riding out one day, her horse, a spirited animal, taking fright, reared up in such a manner that the queen slipped off, one of her feet at the same time catching in the stirrup. The horse began to kick. The queen was in imminent danger. But as it was death for any male save the king and the chief of the pages, to touch any part of the queen's per son, to my nothing diem feet, no ono of her es cort was at first bold enough to attempt her res cue. At length, her peril increasing, two cave- liers ran to her assistance. Ono held the horse, while the other extricated her Majesty's pedal extremity. Not waiting for the thanks customa ry on such occasions, the two heroes took to their heels with anything but hero-like haste, and, hav ing Ordered out their swiftest charges, were about to exile themselves, when a messenger came to inform them that her Majesty was graciously pleased to pardon their offence. Have your Heart at Home. We sometimes meet with men who seem to think that any indulgence in an affectionate feel ing is a weakness. They will return from a jour ney, and greet their families with a distant digni ty, and move among their children with the cold and lofty splendor of an iceberg, surrounded by its broken fragments. There is hardly a snore unnat ural sight on earth, than one of those fismilies without a heart. A father had better extinguish a boy's eyes than take away his heart. Who that has experienced the joys of friendship, and values sympathy and affection, would not rather lose all that is beautiful in nature's scenery, than be rob bed of the hidden treasure of his heart Cherish, then, your heart's best affections. Indulge in the warns and gushing emotions of filial, parental, and fraternal love. Think it not a weakness. God is love. Love God, everybody, and everything that is lovely. Teach your children to love; to love the rose, the robin; to love their parents; to love their God. Lot it be the studied object of their domestic culture to give thou warns hearts, ardent affections. Bind your whole family together by these strong cords. You cannot make them too strung. Religion is love; love to God, love to man. DON'T GILUNBLE.-110 is a fool that grumbles at little mischances. Put the best foot forward, is an old and good maxim. Don't run about and tell acquaintances that you have been unfortu nate; people do not like to have unfortunate men for acquaintances. Add to a vigorous determin atidn a cheerful spirit if reverses come, hearth= like a philosopher, and got rid of them as soon as you can Poverty is like a panther ; look it steadily in the face, and it will turn from you. // YIWA7r Living for Others. The greatest of all practical mistakes is the at tempt to secure happiness by seeking our own in terest exclusively, instead of living for the advan tage and well being of others. If we were to set about giving the most perfect and infitlible recipe for the production of the greatest amount of un bearable wretchedness, we should certainly say— live for self exclusively, supremely, and you can not fail to be miserable, whatever your outward circumstances may be—high or low, rich or poor. The idea of living through a series of years, says the "Boston Register," without thinking of any thing beyond one's personal pleasure and profit, is not to be endured. It is narrow and low and bad enough at the outset; but our general purposes in life re-act on the character. One who starts in life with taking little interest except in Mott in sonic way promotes his own wishes or advantage, will probably, as ho grows older, groW more sel fish; his generous sympathies will dry up from disuse; while the natural product of selfishness— the jealous and distrustful passions, a fretful, com plaining, misanthropic temper, will spring up into vigorous growth. The matt ceases to believe in the virtues of other men, and it; the midst of the world, dooms himself ton solitary and wretched lot; while lie who endeavors to make himself use ful to others, is by that effort confirming all gen erous sentiments. The world grows brighter as he grows olden Ile lives loving and loved, and life goes flown its old age, pavilioned round about with all blessed memories.—N. )' Organ. All Look Upward, Were there no other evidence of a God, it might be found in this fact, that every thing in nature turns instinctively to something higher than itself. The simple herb expands itself, as if seeking the law of its growth in the shrub that bonds over it like a guardian angel. The shrub finds its type in the tree; and the tree itself, because there is nothing higher, looks up to heaven. The tides swell to the moon; the vapor expands in the sun beam. So all animals that are brought into con nection with him, look up to man. Is the great law to be arrested here? Is all beyond this a blank void? Is there na higher than himself, which may preserve Ibr man the upward tenden cy of all things—nothing which can stimulate and sustain, and be the ultimate of his aspirations?— Nature and reason alike reject the idea. It there were no great sustaining power to preserve the balance—if the connecting chain were ruputred here, man would be thrust by the projectile forces below into utter and universal annihilation, oven to his physical being, because he could not, from! his own strength alone, resist the upward impulse. The philosophy of swain will illustrate this; for the expansive force acts powerfully from below, and there is no outlet above, the accumulation of power must terminate in explosion. In nature nothing is abrupt, therefore the chain of being cannot terminate thus suddenly in man; for as his body is an elaboration of the refitted elements of all below, so his spirit reaches out of itself, and expands into the essence of all above. Bad Temper. Bad temper is oftener the result of unhappy circumstances than of an unhappy organization; it frequently, however, hue a physical cause—and a peevish child needs dieting inure than correct ing. Some children are more prone to show tem per than others, and sometimes on account of qualities which are valuable in themselves. For instance a child of active temperament, sensitive feeling and eager purpose, is more likely to meet with constant jars and rubs than a dull, passive child; and if he is of an open nature, his inward irritation is immediately shown in bursts of pas sion. If you repress these ebullitions by scold ing and punishment, you only increase the evil by changing passion into sulkiness. A cheerfid, good tempered tone of your own, a sympathy with his trouble, whenever the trouble has arisen from no ill conduct mt his pa.t, arc the best anti dotes; but it would be better still to prevent be forehand, as much as possible, all sources of an noyance. Never fear spoiling children by making them too happy. Happiness is the atmosphere in which all good affections grow—the wholesome warmth necessary to make the heart blood circu late heartily and freely; unhappiness, the chilling pressure which produces here an inflammation, there nn exeresence, and: worst of all, "the mind's green and yellow sickness—ill temper." Government by Women. When the mutineers of the British ship-of-war Bounty had accomplished the destruction of the rest of the crew, they sailed with the ship to Pit cairn's Island, in the South Pacific Ocean, which they made their residence. Being without female society, they sailed for Otahitne, one of the Soci ety Islands, and obtained for themselves wives of the native women, and returned to their Island' home, thinking how perfectly they would now act out the part of " the lords of creation." But they had wrongly calculated, and in acting out their high prerogative, they aroused the native spirit of the women, who conspired together, and, in one night, slew all the men save one, (Mr. Adams.) From that time to the present the government and business of the Island has been in the ban& of the females, who are hardy, industrious, peace ful and virtuous.—South Sea Travels. 65- It is said that there is a woman in London. employed as a book folder's fore-woman, who re collects the year and chapter of every act of Par liament upon every subject.

An English .work on Game Birds and Wild Fowls, recently published, contains the following curious anecdote " A friend of Col. Conliam—the late Colonel Johnson, of the Rifle Brigade—was ordered to Canada with his battalion, in which ho was then a captain, and being very fond of falconry, to which he had devoted much time and expense, he took with him two of his favorite peregrines as his companions, across the Atlantic. "It was his constant habit' during the voyage, to allow then to fly every day, after feeding them up,' that they might not be induced to take off after a passing sea-gull, or wander ont of sight of the vessel. Sometimes their rumbles were very wide and protracted. At others they would accend to such a height as to be almost lost to the view of the passengers, who soon found them au etlbetuttl means of relieving the tedium of a long sea voyage, and naturally took a lively interest in their welfare; but as they wore in the habit of re turning regularly to the ship, no uneasiness was felt during their occasional absence. "At last, one evening, after a longer flight than usual, one of the falcons returned alone. The other—the prime favorite—was missing. Day after day passed away, and, however much he may have continued to regret his loss, Captain Johnson had at length fully made up his mind that it was irretrievable, and that he should never see her again. " Soon after the arrival of the regiment in America, on casting his eyes over a Halifax newspaper, he was struck by a paragraph an nouncing that the captain of an American schooner had at that moment in his possession a fine hawk, which had suddenly made its appear ance on board his ship during his late passage from Liverpool. The idea at once occurred to Captain Johnson that this could be no other than his much-prized falcon; so having obtained imme diate leave of absence, ho set off for Halifax, a journey of some days. On arriving there he lost uo time in waiting on the commander of the schooner; announcing the object of his journey, he requested that he might be allowed to see the bird. Jonathan had no idea of loosing his prize so easily, and stroutly refused to admit of the interview, 'guess ing' that it was very easy for an Englisher to lay claim to another man's property, but 'calculating' that it was a ‘tarnation sight' harder for him to get possession of it; and cotteluded by asserting, in un qualified terms, his (satire disbelief of the whole story. "Captain Tphnson's object, however, being rather to recover his falcon than to pick a quarrel with the truculent Yankee, be had fortunately sufficient self command to curb his indignation, and proposed that his claim to the ownership of the bird should be at once put to the test by an experiment, which several Americans who were present admitted to be perfectly reasonable, and in which their countryman was at last persuaded to acquiesce. It was this. Captain Johnson was to be admitted to an interview with the hawk—who, by the way, had as yet shown no partiality for any person since her arrival in the New World; but on the contrary, had rather repelled all attempts at familiarity—and if at this meeing she should not only exhibit such unequivocal signs of recognition and attachment as should induce the majority of the bystanders to believe that he really was her original master, but especially if she should play with the buttons of his coat, then the American was at once to waive all claim to her. The trial was immediately made. The Yankee went up stairs, and shortly returned with the falcon; but the door was hardly opened before she darted from his fist, and perched at once on the shouder of her beloved and long-lost protector, evincing, by every means her delight and affection, rub bing her head against his cheek, sand taking hold of the buttons of his coat and champing them playffily between her mandibles, one after another. This was enough. The jury were unanimous. A veidict for the plaintiff' was pronounced; evou the obdurate heart of the sea-captain was melted, and the Neon was at once restored to the armed her rightful owner. Bear Hunting in Sweden. In some parts of Sweden great depredations are committed by bears, which issue from their haunts and destroy the flocks and herds of the farm houses and villages. When such depredations fall severely on any particular locality, the peas antry assemble together in large numbers, and ex tending themselves in a lino, beat through that part of the forest in which the "grisly monsters'. are supposed to be. The bears, aroused by the shouts and firing with which these proceedings are accompanied, collect themselves together some times to the number of twenty, and the hunter. then combine their forces, and make a simultane ous attack on the general enemy. Hunted in this way, the bear soon pays the penalty of his mis doings; but when attacked by a single batsman, he often meets with better fortune, for, should the latter miss his aim, or strike any other part of the bear but the head, the enraged beast rushes on him and wo betide him if he but get him in hie grip. In the northern part of Sweden, however the peasant issues kith, undaunted, in pursuit of the boar. Sometimes ho takes with him two or three small dogs, which, when the bear is found, divert Iris attention by barking around biro, and the hunter is enabled to obtain an opportunity of leaving a steady and certain aim at him. In this manner, oftentimes, a peasant will destroy six or eight of those animals. The peasants of Norway exhibit equal intrepidity,and will, single-handed, attack a bear with whatever instrument may be et command,
