accidentally overheard an individual—a teach.
er, we believe—in Passing along thestrect, use
the expression "Oh, it's a perfect bore ; the
children take no interest." Friend Grumbler,
we think of all institutions, for the promotion
of good, tie Sabbath School stands second to
none. It is the sower of good seed is good
ground, and at the right time. It has laid the
foundation of churches, reformed communities
and shed its happy influence on all classes. Its
gentle and softening teachings, like the minute
blood channels of our bodies, wind here and
there unseen, yet fulfilling a high office in eve
ry community where this youth standard of the
Cross is planted. Titno has shown much of
the precious harvest thus reaped, but eternity
alone can reveal it all. It is the plastic minds
of the rising generation upon which the good
impression is to be made. Early impressions
are not easily cradi cated. It is not the 611-
dren's fault if "uo interest is tnar Vested." They
generally delight in the Sabbath School—the
cause must lie somewhere else. Perhaps with
the parent, or may it not be with the teacher ?
. . _
The Sabbath School was first designed to do
what parents ought to do, but left undone. Now
its object ought to be to assist parents in their
broad field of duty. But even at this day it
has ne much to di! an it had when the first
school was organized. it began to teach the
parent then as well as the child, and it teaches
both yet. The child has made the hest pro.
gross, but the parent is gaining too, and we do
expect the time will come when all the parents
shall have graduated and only the children be
left to be taught, with parents to assist.
,ti` To sleep or not to sleep I This is a
question just now which is made puzzling by
the mosquitos. The litths buzzing insect,
with humming powers of every variety of sound
and effect, invades a chamber with as much
sang froi4 as NAPOLEON would invade an
Austrian camp, and is as bloody iu his inten
tions as the former lover of Mad. Howard
is bloody at present. He invoices a tenor to
assassinate it with a basso. He drives as sharp
a Intl as a butcher—and murders more sleep
than ever did Banque's ghost. He is about
now—and as a preventative for his marauding
propensities, we present the following receipt:
Take of gum camphor a piece about the size
of an egg, and evaporate it by placing it in a
tin vessel and holding it over a lamp or candle,
taking care that it does not ignite. The smoke
will soon fill the room and expel the " varmints."
There must be somethilig to drive out these
pests, and as every thing else under the canopy
has been effectually tried, wo presume at last
we have got tho remedy.
Wasmna DAL—If everybody would get
one of Ball & Peightal's machines, the day
would not be looked upon with dread, and we
would see reversed the idea of Fanny Fern,
that you turn away from steam, damp clothes
and "pick-up-dinners," and short words ; and
no desert. But instead of frowsy hair, or red
face, and parboiled fingers of your wife, she
would be all smiles and affection, you would be
tolerated in the kitchen, even long enough to
smoke thy cigar.
FATAL'AcciDENT.—A miner named William
Brennigoo, was killed in Powell's mines, near
Barnitztown, on the 29th ult., by the caving in
of a considerable quantity of earth. He leaves
a wife and family to mourn his untimely end.
He was a man of temperate habits and indus
trious.

flab I that's nothing, Col., many of our ex•
changes in this State, come by the way of San
Francisco, on the overland route. Others when
they do come direct, give evidence of somebody
having a better right to read them before we
do ourselves.
GUIIERNATORIAL.—Ve are highly gratified
with the unsolicited information furnished us
by the Hol. Whig. People must " always go
to the country to hear the news in town." But
we opine when our neighbor hears the voice of
the so/id men of our county, he will change
his tune.
Verna IT.—One of the great plagues of
Summer is the insect tribe, which destroys the
fruit of many trees, shrubs and flowers that
adorn our rural homes. The following is pre
sented to us as a specific remedy. It is, at
least, worth a trial:—
"A. solution of whale oil soap will destroy
the numerous insects that infest trees .d
shrubbery at this season of the year. Dissolve
the soap in warm water, making 'suds' of medi•
um strength, and sprinkle the leaves with a
syringe. This speCific is sure death to the cat.
terpillar, miller and the army of ravagers that
destroy the foliage. Now is the lime for its
applicatiJn."
