Beantiful Tlioughts.
(ioil lias sent some angels into tlio worlii whoso office it is to rcfrc-sh the sorro',v of tlio poor and to liglitoii tlio oyos of the diseoii- golate. And what greater picasuro can wo have than that wo ,'should bring joy to our brother; that tho tongue should bo tuned with heavenly aeconts, and make tho weary soul listen for light tind case; and when ho perceives that there is such a thing -ii the world, and in the ordor of thing-s, as com¬ fort and joy, to begin to broak out from the prison of his sorrown at tho door of sight and tears, and by little and lilllc begin to melt into .showers androfresliinent—this is glory to thy voice, and employment lit for tho ijriglitest angel. Su I have seon the Bun kiss the frozen oarth, which was bound up with the images of death, and the cold¬ er breath of the norlh, and the waters break from their enclosures, and melt with juy and run in useful channels; and tho flies riso from little graves in tho walls, and daneo a liltle while in the air, to tell thc joy within, and that the groat mothor of creatures will open tho stook of her now refreshinont, beoomo useful to mankind, and sing to hor llodcomor. So ia the heart of a .sorrowful man under the dis¬ course of wise eomfort; ho breaks frum the despair of the grave, and the fetters and chains of .sorrow; ho bles.scs Godi and Ho blesses thee, aud ho feels his life return¬ ing.
Order at Home.
One great sourso of cvil to children, is tho differeneea between their father and niother conoerning thoir faults, and the quarrels of whieh they are somcthnes wit¬ nesses. Chiidrcn cannot honor their par¬ ents when they seo thom nuarrel; and if when the father corrects, thc niother will fondle the child, or tho reverse, the child will havo his way, aud will bo sure to re¬ peat his fault. lAIaiiy a child's soul will rise up in judgement against its parent on this account. AVherever thcro is a dif¬ ference, God has givon authority to the husband, and the wife must not let tho child see her oppose that authority. All differences must bc privately settled.
Good Toasts.—Tho following toasts wero druuk at a celebration on the Pourth, at Winchester, JIass.:
'The Ladies—Tho real rulers of the world, though liko thc heavenly bodies, they lot their intlueiica bc rather felt than seen.
'Tlu: Printing Press—Tho voice of public opinion, mightier than the rush of armies. Let it ever aeek the words of truth and freedom.

Mn. Hail :—
¦\Vheu I sat down to write it was my intention to discuss, at some length, thc following proposition, viz:—All those arts, di.scoverios and inventions, whieh .serve to increase, indefinitely, tho wealth and power of nations, and whieh render life in enlightened countries, comparatively comfortable aud happy—ore the legitimate offspring of educated minds. IJut find¬ ing this would oceupy too much space in your paper, I shall assume my proposition to bo true, and merely notioe, a little, two or three of tho multitude of particulars which it contemplates, briefly notieo two or three of the many nieans sought out by tnind to ameliorate the eondition of our race.
Living ill an cnlig-htcned ago and coun¬ try, il is impossible to appreciate properly the valuo of thc udvantages which science has bestowed upon thc world. So accus¬ tomed are we to enjoy thc accumulated im¬ provements of ages, that they aro as com¬ mon to us as thc air, and about as little re¬ garded.
'I'hen let us think for a moment of the effects produced on society at large by a single discovery in the powers of nature, or a singlo improvement iu the arts. Who, for example, can ealeulate the value of steam as a motive power? How many mills and factories docs it keep in oporatiou !— How much cloth and hardw-arc docs it manui'acturo ? How much graui does it grind ? How much merchandise does it transport! How many travellers does it convey ! How many books, newspapers, and periodicals does it print ? \Vhat would be thc consequence, were tho useof steam, at onco and forever abandoned ? What would lie tho present state of manufactures and iutcrual coninicreo, had its powerful agoncy never beeu discovered or applied !
But again. Who can estimate the ivorth of the JIarincr's Compass ? Consider, for a momont, the ell'ects of this discovery.— What has this littlo instrument not dono to increase thc wealth and power of nations 1 It furnishes to every enlightod people tho luxuries, the conveniences, ami many of the necessaries of lifo. It cements tho groat brotherhood of mankind in comforta¬ hlo union, and sends the gospel of ever¬ lasting truth to every region aud every clime. AA'ho will prosume to price this priceless invention ? What would bo the condition of thc world, what thc stato of civilization in Amorica, had Education not added this invaluable discovery to its ten thou.sand triumphs of a similar kind '!
I will call your attention to but one oth¬ er production of educated mind. I mean tho art of prhiting. It is impossible to form any adeiiuato coneoptiona of the im¬ portauco of this "Art of Arts." Its in- tliieueo on civilization, on morality and re¬ ligion, transcends .and overshadows the in¬ fluence of all other human inventions com¬ bined. Tho press has preserved and hand¬ ed down to posterity, tho accumulated knowledge of by-gune ages. Thc press spreads thc history of thc world, the re¬ searches of philosophy, the deductions of i-ea.son, and the triumphs of religion, befure ovory mind willing to receive them. Thc press kindles the iirc of freedoin, arouses the spirit of patriotism; awes the demagogue and arresls the restless career of corrupt u-.ubitiun. Tho pre.ss has placed thc Bible in the hands of every believer aud furnish¬ ed uueounled thousands of that invaluable book to perishing heathen lauds. What would be the condition of human society f what the character of civil government !— nay, what would be the fate of roligion ilsolf, had the omnipotent power of the press never been employed to multiply books, to disseminate knowledge and illu¬ minate thc world.
AVc arc ull disposed to value ourselves ou our literary attainments. Let us re- lucuiber that had tho art of printing never been discovered, not one of my intelligent renders, uot onc in ten thousand of this enlightened nation, would ever have known the alphabet!
Whilo we exult in tho blessed liberty we enjuy, let u.s roincmbcr that the press taught our forefathers the sweets of I'rcc- diiiii, and the art of self government; pre¬ pared their minds for independence, and nerved their arms for a contest of death or victory. J-.et us remember that had tho press and tho oompass never been invented, instead of bearing, as wo do, the proud ap¬ pellation of Amorioaii freemen, we would bo tho degraded serfs of some European despot.
AVo all pride in tho beauty and prosper¬ ity of our country, tho equity of her laws and the purity of her religion. Let us ro¬ mombor that tho compass directed the mar¬ iner to tho diseovery of this land of whieh we boast so much. Lot u.i remembor that tho press liberated, beaulitied and ouriohcd it. Lot us remember that had not Educa¬ tion produced theso invaluable instruments of human iiuprovumeut, the wholo length and breadth of this happy land; this land of inlelligence and rotinement; this land of
religion and law; this land of peace, plen¬ ty, patriotism, and virtue; this asylum of the oppressed of all n.ations;—instead of being adorned with cultivated fields and populous cities; instead of being doeorated with works of art and industry; instead of being irradiated by institutions of learning and sanctified by temples of religion; would present one unbroken wilderness; tho abode of wild beasts; the theatre of savage war¬ fare, and human sacrifices. Let us remem¬ ber that these inventions are tho chosen instruments of a -wise and kind providence, espeeialiy adapted to the civilization of mankind; espeeialiy designed to promote the mental and moral emancipation of the world.
Are any of my readers parents ? As such, you no doubt, prido in the intelli¬ gence of your children. You -watch with virtuous delight the gradual developement of their immortal intellects. You look forward with inspiring confidence to thc period whon they shall bc respected for their knowledge, esteemed for their vir¬ tues, and cherished for their .services to tho world. Let me tell you that to thc compass and the press you are indebted, under God, for whatever is gratifying in the present persnits or future pro-spcets of these deserving objects ofyour lovo.
Apart, then, from thc elevated dignity and rational enjoyment whieh a sound ed¬ ucation affords; apart from thc high a.spira- tions with which it swells the bosom of ex¬ panding youth, and the gentle solace it af¬ fords to tho period of deelining years; apart from all these important considerations, and regarded merely as the parent of thoso im¬ provemonis whieh serve to mako life com¬ fortable and happy—Education merits tho highest mede of praise that tongue can ut¬ ter or thought conceive. May, then, its onward progress be accelerated, its benign influenoe be extended, till every mind is brought to bask in tho .soul-oheering eft'ul- gcnce which it over sheds along its glori¬ ous path-way. 11.

Information for the People.
THE Pr.Al.N "why" and "HKCAL'SE."
[C?~AVliyis linon disadvantageous for wear noxt the skin I Because it retains thc matter of perspiration in its texture, .and .speedily becomes imbued with il; it causes au unpleasant sensation, is very rapidly saturated with moisture, and con¬ ducts heat too rapidly.
OJT" Why is woolen clotli advanta¬ geous! Because of thc readiness with whieh it allows the perspiration to escape through its texture, its power of preser¬ ving warmth to the skin under all circum¬ stances, the ditficulty of making it wet through, the slowness with whieh it con¬ ducts heat, and the softness, lightness, and pliancy of its texture.
[HT* Why are blankets ao called! Be¬ cause they were first made in 1:340, by oue Thomas Blanket,, and some other hi- habitants of Bristol.
[).?" Why aro inu.slins and cottons thrown into pump water after being wash¬ ed in soft? Because of tho astringent properties of the hard water, which givos the fibres a peeuliar firmness, whilst the soft water would leave them lax.
[C?~ AVhy do the properties of soda and potash differ in so.ap making! Bectuisc, with soda, oil forms a hard soap; with pot¬ ash a soft ono.
[CF^ Why do pearl-ash and water re¬ move grease spots! Because the pearl-ash unites ehomically with tho grease, forniing a species of soap, which easily washes out.
LCJ~ Why is pipe elay used for scouring cloth! Bccau.se of the aluuiui which it contains.
[rj^ Why is alum used in dyeing! Be¬ cause it cleanses and opens the pores op tho surface of the substance to be dyed, ren- rendcring it fit to receive the coloring p.ir- tielesi (by which tho alum is generally de¬ composed) and at tbo same tiiuo muking the color fixed.
KF^ Why do eombs stained to imitate tortoise shiAl, soon beoome dull? Beeausc of the load used in the dye resuming its usual metallic appearance.
\xF~' AVhy, in cementing, should bodies bo heated before, and closely pressed to¬ gethor, after the cement is appliod! Bo¬ causo vory littlo of the cement may bo left between tho pieces, ai the thiniitr the ce¬ ment is spread, the flrnier it will hold.
[CF" AVhy should plated articles bo kept dry! Beeauso the coaling of silver on them is so thin as not to prevent their speedily becoming cankered or rusted by damp.
[Cr' Why is charcoal the best dentri- fioe! Beeauso cf its antiseptic properties and its destroying tho smell of various sub¬ stances; thus rendering it a ready sweet¬ ener of the breath.
William A. Graham, of IVorth Caro¬ lina.
The Secretary of the Navy .thd iiominco of the Whig party for the Vice Presiden¬ cy, is a native of Lincoln county, in that State, and was born in tho year 1804.— His father, thc late General Joseph Gra¬ ham, was born in the county of Chester, in the Stntc of Pennsylvania, in the year 1759, of parents who had emigrated from the North of Ireland, though of Scottish origin; thenee, by the removal of a widow¬ ed niother, he was transferred in oarly childhood to the viouiity of Charlotte, in tho county of Mecklenburg, North Caro¬ lina. Here he grew to man's estiite, ahd received sueh education as the country could then afford, at an acadeniy in Char¬ lotte, called Queen's College. Hc was there the a.s.sociato of Jackson, Adair, and raauy jthers, who subsequently became distinguished in the history of the country. When a youth about fifteen years of age, he w.as present at the fanious "Declaration of Independence," on thu '20th of M.-iy, 1775) by the people of iMeekleuburg; .and late in life furnished his testimony in re¬ lation to that event, whon its authenticity was called in question; and this certificate will bo found appended to tho published acoount.t of that reiiiarkable occurrence, so honorable to tho patriotism and valor of thc peoplo of that country. AA'itli two elder brothers, he entered the Revolution¬ ary Army at an early age, and served sev¬ eral campaigns in the Carolina and Geor¬ gia, in which he rose to tho rank of a Ma- jor of Cavalry. In a sharp actiun on thc occasiou of-the entrance of the British ar¬ my undor Lord Cornwallis into Charlotte, in Septeniber, 1780, Major Graham, coni¬ nianding a corps of cavalry under Colonel D.tvie, was cut down, wounded, and left for dead, a short distance from that vill¬ age. Recovering from his wounds, ho participated .actively in tho campaign of 1781, and continued in the aervice until tho end of tho war. After its close he fillcd many important public trusts, and was for many years a member of the State Legislature, and of both the Conventions which deliberated in the adoption of the Federal Constitution by Forth Carolina. In the war of 181-i holding the offioc of Brigadier General of Militia, ho volun¬ teered his services, and commanded a bri¬ gade called out from North and .South Carolina against tho Creek Indians, and joined tho army of fTCncral Jack.son, soon after the battle of the Horse Shoe, in time to receive the submission of that powerful tribe. Ho died in 1830, at the advanced ago of seventy-seven years, beloved, hou- orcd and respeeted by the people of tho good old Whig Stato of Nortii Carolina.
AA'illiam Alexander Graham, his young¬ est .son, w-as educated in his native State. After tho nsual course of preparatory in¬ struction, he entered tho university of North Carolina, and waa graduated with the highest distinction in a elas.s of unusu¬ al merit, llis professional studies, iu pre¬ paration for tho bar were pnrsued in thc office of the Hon. Thonias lluffm, the pre¬ sent Chief Justico of the Supremo Court of that State, and one of the ablest lawyers of America. He commenced the practice of the law thoroughly prepared, and fixing his residence at Hillsborough, in Orange eounty, soon attaineil the highest distinc¬ lion in his profoMsion, nnd was eminently successful as an advocate. Mr. Graham always had a right appreciation of tho char¬ acter of his profession and its noble aims. Pure in heart himself, benevolent in dispo¬ sition, and generous in all his impulses, he early became the friend of thc poor and unfortunate. The oppressor and wrong¬ doer found no advoeate in him; but he was always ready to give his aid to the widow and orphan, without fee or reward; and his happiest etforts in his profession were made in their cause. In hitu are happily blend¬ ed the graces of the Christian gentlcinan i^d the virluea of thc puro and upright man. All who know him love him for these qualities of the heart, which eminently dis¬ tinguish hiiu, and whieii obviously manifest themselves, even upon a slight acquain¬ tance. Accustomed from earliest recollec¬ tion to look upon the w-ounds in hia fath¬ er's face, received in the battles of Inde¬ pendence, and to liston at the fireside to the legends of the Revolution, he had moro than ordinary incentives to take part in publie affairs. Hc was elected a lueniber of the lower branch of the Jjcgislature of the State of North Carolina in 1833, and wua continued, by successive cleetions, down to 1810, At the ses.sion of 1838, ho was chosen tho Speaker of the lower I louse, tho duiies of whieh olfice hc discharged with great ability and impartiality, iu which station ho remained until 1840, when he w-as promoted to tho Senate of the United States. During the seven years ho was a member of the Legislature uf North Caro¬ lina he acted a conspicuous part. The consideration of questious of currency qnd finance, urising out of tho expiration of the charters of the fii-st Banka of thc Stale; tho adoption of a systoni of internal improve¬ menta adequate to its wants and exigeueies; the calling of a convention to revise the C*niititution, with  a view,  principally, to
equalize representation; a revision of the wholo body of the local statute laws; the establishment of a system of eommon schools, with many other subjects of great importance, came under the consideration of thc Gener.al Assembly of the State dur¬ ing this period. On all these .subjects he was regarded by all parties as ono of the ablest and most influential niembers, and rendered essential service, as is now being both seen and fell, in the improvenients of the Stale and tho adoption of the policy whieh he enforced and advocated with so much ability and enlarged patriotism. A deeided Whig in politieal opinion, he dep¬ recated the too frequent introduction of Federal politiesinto the Legislature to the neglect of its appropriate funetions. At the session of 1834, when resolutions were introduced to instruct Mr. Mangum to vote for expunging the Jounial of the Senato, Mr. Gr.aham greatly distinguished hhihself by a speech in opposition to them, whieh wa.i much .admired and eommonded for the eininent nbility and soundness of its views, and the great Coiislitutional learning which it evinced. Taking his seat in thc Senate of tho United States in December, ] 840, the youngest inember of that body, in which wore <.^K\v, Webster, Calhoun, AVright, and others, Mr. Graham deferred to thc superior age of his associates, and participated but litlle in its general diseu.s- sions. AVe find, however, in reports of that day, a speech by him on the financial poliey of the Administration of Mr. Van Buren, and another in favor of the bill directing tho soveral States to be divided into districts for tho election of members of the Houso of Representatives—both of whieii are highly creditable and able ex¬ hibitions of Parlamentary reasoning, and replete with sound eonservative AVhig sen- tiiueiita. Having much experience as a presiding officer, he filled the chair of the Senate as the suhstltnto of J\lf. ^otithard, the Prosident, (then in his last illness,) during a considerable part of thc session of 1841, wilh great acceptability to th.it body. Occupying the laborious post of Chairman of the coinmittee on Claims in the '27th Congress, he participated but little in the goncral debates; but he had the entire eouifidence and respect of the Senate in the business committed to his charge; and Gov. AA'right, of New York, and J udge AA'oodbury, of New Hampshire, who served nuder hiin on that committee, took occasion, after his retirenient from the Senate, to refer to his decisions, and publicly to attest their confidence in his .ability and impartiality. Thc Denocratie party having elected a majority of mem¬ bers to thc Leg-islaturo of North Carolina, in 1842, for the first tlnie in many years, Mr. Graham was not re-elected, and retir¬ ed from the Senato of the United States on tho 4tli of March, 1843. Resuming the practice of the law with his usual ener¬ gy and eminent succe.ss, he had but renew¬ ed his relations with his old friends and clients when, to redeem the State from Democratic rule and a.sceudancy, to aid in securing her vote for Mr. Clay, ho was prevailed upon to accept thc nomination for the office of Governor of the Stato.— In 1844, he was elected the Chief Magis¬ trate of North Carolina, by a very large majority of tho vote-s of the people, andwas re-elected to tho samo offiee in 1845) from whieh he relired on the first of Jauuary 1849, being no longer constitutionally ele- gible. Returning again to his profession, he was, in a fow mouths thereafter, ofl'ered by President Taylor the niission to Spain, which, for reasons ofa domestic and person¬ al nature, he promptly declined. After the death of Geu. Taylor, he was appointed by Prosident Fillmore, who was a member of the House of Rrepresentatives during Mr. Graluama sorviee in the Senate, the head of the Navy Department; a station which ho has occupied for two years with great usefulness and eiuiiient ability and advantage to the country, and raucli honor and credit to himaelf. At thc late Na¬ tional AVhig Conveution, which assembled at Baltimore on the IGth ultimo, Mr. Gra¬ ham was nominated, with almost unexam¬ pled unanimity, the candidate of that groat party t'or tho Viee Presidency of the United states. A purer man, an abler statesman, a more houeat and devoted pat¬ riot, eould not have beeu selected to till the second great otfice of our Government; and sueh thc people of the United States will tind him to be, the more they inquire and become acquiutanted with him. At the South where he ia best- kuown, his name is a tower of strength to his party, and every whero througliout this brond Union where virtue, integrity, houesty, ability, fidelity and devoted patriotism are appreciated and esteemed, will ho bo hon¬ ored, beloved and respected, as his pure and spotless life and eminent worth and ability aro made familiar to his admiring and discerning countrymen.

OUR tITTI.E GIRL,.
AVhen the eveningsbaduns gather
Kound abont our quiet hearth, Comes onr eldest born unto us
Bending humbly to tho earth ! And with hand» enclasped tightly,
And with mock eyen raised abort, This the prayer she oti'erj nightly
To the Buurce of light and lovii
"Bless my parents, O ray I'athiir!
Bless my little brother dear; AVhilo I gently take my slumber.
Be thy gUai'diaii anqels near ! Should no morning's dawning groet m
Beaming brightly from tha skisi, Thine the eye of love to meet ma
In the paths of Puiadi-ie '."
Now agiad "good-night" sha gii-ei u
And sho seal.s it witli a kiss; Naught of earthly sorrow gi-iovos us
In an huur so full of bliss 1 Then our orms about her wrcathiiij;,
Ono f!;hd kiss bei'ure she sleep; Soon wc hear hergmitle breathing
In a slumber calm nud ileeii'.

So pure nud free fium guiio. And when night caino, that liltla out.
In kneeling down to pray, Said in a soft atul whisper louc;

Vulgarity.
Boys, guard against this shameful vioe. Nothing is so disgusting and repugnnnt tu the feeling.? of thc noble and the good, at to hear the young use profane, or low, vul~ gar language. The young of our towns are particularly guilty of profanity. Id our diiy it soeuis tho "boy" does not feel himsolf a "man" unless becan oxool in this great sin.
"We would guard the young against the use of overy wurd that is not perfectly proper. Uso no profane expressions—al¬ lude to no sentence that will put to blush the most sensitive. You knnw not thfi tendency of liubitually using iudccont ani profano lauguiigo. It may never be oblit¬ erated from your heart. When you grow up, you will find at your tongue's end somo expression which yott would not uso for any money. By being careful, you will suvc yourself a great deal of mortifieation and sorrow. Good men have beeu takon sick, and beeaine delirious. In theso nio¬ uients they used the most vilo and indecent language imaginable. AVhcu informed of it, after resloralion to health,'lliey had no idea of the pain they had giv'en their friends,' and stated that they had learned and repeated the expressions iu childhood, and though years had passed since they had spoken a bad word, they had been indelli¬ bly stamped upon the heart. Think of this, ye who are templed lo uso improper language, and never disgrace yourselves in this way."
Iro.n Papek.—At the Prussian Indus¬ trial Exhihiliou, Count RcikmiI, a Im-gg proprietor of irnn works, exhibited sheet Iron of such a degree of tenuity that iho leaves can be used for jiaper. Of the finest sort, the machinery rolls 7,040 square feot of what may ho called leaf-iron from a cwt. of metal. A book-binder of Brcslau hag made an album of nothing else, tho pages of which turn as flexibly as thn finest fab¬ ric of linen rags. Perhaps bnoks may hero- after he-printed for the tropics on theae metallic leaves, and defy the dcstruetivp power of ants of any color or atrongth of forceps. AVc have only to invent a white ink, and tho thing is done.—Sun.
Our Dooii ExEiin.sK. —One of the old- fashioned sons of Eseulapius, on being ask¬ ed by a patient what were the bost means for preserving health, replied, "out-door exercise." "And what is the best way to avoid taking oold !" asked the patient.— The doctor agaiii answered, "oul-door ex¬ ercise." "And pray, doctor, do tell me how I shall get an appelite V "Why, by out-door exercise." Nolhing- so true, be¬ cause it is tho voiee nf nature. Frauklin, who well underslood the rulea of health, observed, " dress moderately, and tako pieuty of exercise, and yuu won't bl-iuic tho climato for sios of your own making."
