My uncle Bill and my aunt Airy reside on Long Island, far from the fiir-fained resort, Rockaway. One ovening last week as my Aunt Aairy was boiling some chestnuts for " Yorkers" to eat, and as uncle Bill sat smoking n good Havana we had. brought down with us, we persuaded him to tell us a story. Uncle Bill tells a good onp when lie chooses, and being a man that loves to please, he dipped deeply, very quickly, into the merits of'tlje 6ne he proposed telling, somewhat thus: Uncle Bill's First Love. , A tavern keener, once upon a time, ng acquired considerable property, grew very carols, and Jjgg the lawyers by whom hi, hou.e years been visited, that during „ crowded session of the court they with one accord forsook liirt), leaving behind tlicm the followingParody on the Declaration of Independence.When in the course of human eveni8.it becomes necessary for a half hungry, half fed, imposed on set of men, to dissolve  bands of landlord and boarder, a decent respect for the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes whicji have impelled them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self evtderlt all men are created with.mouths and stomachs ; and they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among which are, that no man should he compelled to starve, out of mere compliance to p. landlord, and that every man has a right to fill his stomach and wet his whistle with the best that's going. : *4f The history of the present landlord of the White Lion is a history of repeated insults, exactions and injuries, all having in direct object the establishment of absolute tyranny over out stomachs and throats.

The wonder is increased by thinking how much skill, how much knowledge, how much firmness, what decision at one time, and what delicacy ol moral truth, if I may so express it, at another, are necessary, in ordcr to succecd in truining up the infant mind as it ought to be trained. It would at sometimes almost seem that God has given to parents a work to do, of such intrinsic difficulties, as very tar exceed the capacities and the powers of tlioso whom he has commissioned to execute it. There seems at first view, to be a want of correspondence between what, in a wisely balanced plan, we might suppose ought to be nicely adapted to each other, the moral capabilities of the parent, and the moral necessities of the child. We say at first view, for on mature reflection we can discover similar principles which common srnse and honest faithfulness will always suggest, and which, steadily pursued, must sccure favorable results. Among the lower closS of we find many, very many, families df/children well brought up; and among the higher classes, and those too where virtue and Christian prlnciple seem to reign, and where religious instruction is profusely given, we find total iailure. The children are sources of trouble and wretchedness to their parents, from the time when they gain the first victory over their mother, by screaming and struggling in the cradle; to the months of wretchedness in later life, during M(hicli they are brought home night after night, from scenes of dissipation and vice, to break a mother's heart, or to bleach the cheek of a father .with suppressed and silent sudorlug.103 Murray, near Wait Street, Maw York.

One of our subscribers curie into the office a few wreks ago, nnd asked wlint was the amount of his indebtedness to the Herald. We told him. He handed us the full amount, and said: "I have been Inking the Herald six or seven years, have always been pleased with it, and would like to continue my name on your list as lung as it is published, hut times are hard, ami money scarce ; I find that I can hardly get along at all, so I must retrench bystopping your paper." " It is now some time since it w as proposed by M. Leolaire of Paris to use oxide of zinc as a substitute for white lead, with a view to avoiding the dangerous effects of the latter on the workmen. There could be little doubt that, in point of salubrity, oxide of zinc was an improvement on car. bonate of lead ; but it was still a matter worth determining to what extent the oxide of zinc was itself free from objection, and whether or not some precautions were necessary regnrding its use. M. Flnndin endeavored to delermine this experimentally. He rubbed animals over with ointment of oxide of zinc, oarhonate of lend, and of sulphate ot lead ; and whilst he found that the two last always produced poisonous effects, he obsej-ved that tiie animals rubbed over with oxide of zinc continued to enjoy their usual health. Cases have, however, occurred, which show that the innocuousness of oxide of zinc must riot be admitted fo decidedly as Flandin supposes. In the Complex liendtis fir May u case of undoubted metnlic colic, occurring at one of the Paris hospital*, is described.

The Government has agreed to pay between $400. and $300 for the 3000 copies seized. It is not enough, but it is all that could be obtained. The money, moreover, is paid not as indemnity—that word was not allowed in the writings in the business. The Cioverninnnt declare the transaction to be a lona fide sale. Thus, after violating the Consulate, putting the papal 6eals upon properly already under our seal, and reusing tor eighteen months the repeated and earnest applications of our diplomatic agent, for liberty to ship them out of the country, the Government says—" There are 84*50, give us a receipt lor the sale of the books, and make an end of this business."

The current of parental interest is setting towards mere instruction to such an extent as to overrate altogether its power ; and the immense injury which comes in from such sources as insubordination and bad company, is overlooked and forgotten. What loll}' to think that a boy can play with the profane, impure, passionate boys who herd in the streets, six days in the week, and have the stains all wiped away by being compelled to learn his Sunday school lessons on the seventh; or that children who make the kitchen or nursery scenes of riot and noise, from the age of three to eight years, will be prepared for any thing in after life but to carry the spirit of insubordination and riot wherever they may go! No; children should be taught most certainly but they must also be taken care of. They must be governed at home, and be kept from contaminating influences from abroad, or they are ruined.

It is the spiiit that is carried into nil employment that elevates or degrades it. The ploughman that turns the clod may bo a Cincinnatus or a Washington, or lie may be brother to the clod he turns. It is very creditable to handle the yard stick and to measure tape ; the only discredit consists in having a soul whose range of thought is as short as the stick, and as narrow as the tape. There is no glory in the of affixing a signature by which the treusurrs ofcomincrce are transferred, or treaties between nations arc ratified ; the glory consists in the rectitude of the purpose that approves the one, and the grandeur of the philanthropy that sanctifies the other. The time is soon coming, when, by the common consent of mankind, it will bo esteemed more honorable to have been John Pounds, putting new and beautiful souls into the ragged children of the neighborhood, while he mended their father's shoes, than to have sat on the British Throne. The time now is, when if Queen Victoria, in one of her mugnificent " Progresses'* through her realms were to meet that more than American queen, Miss J)ix, in her " circumnavigation of charity" among the insane, the former should kneel and kiss the hand of the latter; and the ruler over a hundred millions of people should pay homage to the angel whom God has sent to the maniac.—Horace Mann. HONORABLE EMPLOYMENT Other Governments submit to usages on the part of the papal authorities that are no better than highway robbery. For example ; goods arriving at the custom house are often countermanded before the custom house seals have been disturbed. But the Government refuses to let any package go back without being opened, ard insists upon the right to confiscate books found in such cases that are obnoxious to the censorship, though not upon the index of books prohibited. One Mould suppose that the claim of a consul to remand property consigned to him, without breaking the seal, would receive attention. But no, he must submit to see every article of that property laid out in the custom house, as if positively entered into the country, and every work confiscated which the censor chooses to seize.

" To be candid about it, I will tell you why. When the first Thursday came around, after I had stopped my paper, my wife sent our eldest boy to the post olKce for it. Off he went in high glee. I was ashamsd to tell what I Imd done, so I said nothing, though 1 well knew he wouldn't get it. He returned with the complaint that the other subscribers' papers had come but not ours. 'What can it mean, Mr. 8.?' asked my worthy spouse. 'O,' said '1 ex. pect the printer boys neglected to put it in the packct yesterday.' 1 Well, but they never missed before,' said she, 'and there must be something wrong,' and she fixfd « searching look upon me, but 1 said nothing. That evening passed gloomy enough. The next day the children bccame unusually noisy, and got into petty quarrels, and every now and then my wife would say 'Ihere must be something wrong.' ' Yes,' I would sometimes saj', 'there must,' and i then look in another direc'ion front her. Well, the next Thursday came on, and the boy was again sent to the office on his useless errand, and returned with ihe same complaint as before. My wife's first exclamation, as she anxiously awaited his return, and heard his report, was—' Indeed, Mr. S. , there must be something wrong!' Now, thinks I, I shall have to out with it; but 1 remembered just at that particular moment, that ! had lorgottcn to feed the hogs, and tlmy must be fed; but when I reached the hog-pen, I recollected of having fed them but a short time before. When I returned to the house all was in an uproar—the children quarreling and fighting, and the baby squalling terribly, and my good natured spouse in by no means a pleasant mood. Her attempts to pacify were vain, If she should succeed it would be but for a moment, the rising household would rebel, and every rebellion grew worse. Thus passed that evening, and Friday evening promised to be still worse. Things began to look 'blue' long before sunset. I feared the arrival of the night, but it came, and as I expected, the children were still noisier and more rebcliou* than dver; and 1 then thought that if my even tempered wife was never angry before, ehe was then. My house, in fact, seemed suddenly turned into a bedlam. I could stand it no longer and left the house. The last worijs I heard my wife say, as I Jiurried out of the door was, 'indeed, Mr. S—, there must be *omething wrong !'

This admonition I particularly direct to those who are in a period of life too often characterised by forward presumption and headlong pursuit. The self conceit of the young, is a great source of those dangers to which they are exposed ; and it is peculiarly unfortunate, that the age which stands most in need of tJie counsul of the wise, sliould be most prone to contemn it.—Confident in the opinions which they adopt, and in the Dmeasures which they pursue, they seem as if they understood Solomon to say, not, Who knoweth 1 but, Who is ignorant or what is good for man all the days of his life 1 The bliss to be aimed at, is, in their opinion, fully apparent.—It is not the danger of mistake, but the failure of success, which they dread. Activity to seize not sagacity to discern, is the only requisite which they value. How long shall it be, ere the tute of your predecessors in the same course teaches you wisdom ? How long shall the experience of all ages continue to lift its voice to you in vain ? Beholding the ocean on which you are embarked covered with wrecks arc not those fatal signals sufficient to admonish you uf the hid'lcii rock 1 If in paradise itself, there was a tree which bore fruit to the eye, bu' mortal in its ofiects, how much more, in this fallen state, may such de. cciving appearances be expected to abound. The whole state of nature is now become a scene of delusion to the sensual mind. Hardly anything is what it appears to- be. And what Hatters most, is ahvuys further, est from reality. There are voices which sing around you ; hut whose strains allure to ruin.—There is a hunqurt spread, where poison is in every di*h. There is a couch which invites you to repose ; but the slumber upon it is death. In such a situation, be not high minded. Lot sobriety check your rash presumption.
