BUSINESS CABDS. 151. The person we generally love the most is the one we see in the mirror. Slavery and ignorance go hand in hand and produce misery and abjcct degradation. An army letter, lately received, speaks thus of the poor whites of the South : " By way of digression, I think these whites worthy of 4 sketch—they being the lowest specimens of civilized humanity in America. I have frequently read descriptions of the ' clay-caters* in the Carolinas, but I never fully realized the deplorable condition of the poor whites in the Slave States, until quite lately.— In physiognomy, this specimen is principally remarkable for want of contrast, the face bearing aflstriking resemblance to nn oblong strip of six cent calico in the last stages of deoline, the face, eyes and hair, being of the color of a light sorrel who had seen a bad winter. Attached to this head of sweet potatoe shapo is the neck and shouldors, the former long and cordy, with. Adam's apple protruding about tho size of a dime bottle of Seaton's Chemiqal Writing Ifluid, the latter 'extending at right angles therefrom, or a little more so. They are tall, lank and lean. Their general contour is that of a man who has been hung up by the arms to dry, and the legs having nettled principally into the feet The same remark will apply to the females of this class, save the spiDal column has more of the rainbow curvo. Of all the people on God's footstool, the poor whites of the south are the most abject slaves. Tho negro slave is sure of a living, and is generally provided for in his old agebut the poor whites are slaves, and beggars to boot They sometimes come to town in ' keerts,' attached to which is a cow in harness, a steer, or perhaps a east olf cavalry horse. With hoop-poles for shafts, cord or hickory bark for lines, with half a dozen flax headed urchins in the 1 keert', the appearance presented is strikingly picturesque. They bring to market, perhaps, a few sweet potatoes, perhaps a dilapidated rooster, a racer (pig) or pies to sell to the soldiers, tho crust oi which would be excellent tapping for boots. How they subsist and clothe themselves, Ood only knows, as, after diligent inquiry, I have failed to learn from lower authority."JOHN MACLABEN, CURTISS & CO., SHOES BY MB I. MADIA L. COOS. 452.

Ah ! he hai forgotten the happy day— the happy man he was—when ho first took that infant form in his arms and pressed it to his heart; he has forgotten that mother's look of pride and love, as she gazed upon h6r husband and child ; and in her perfect happiness and confiding love, forgot that sorrow could ever come, he has forgotten how fondly he watched those little feet as they learned to run about the house, and with what parental delight the first lisping words were echoed from his lips! lie has forgotten that death-bed scene, when that dearly loved wite and mother was yielding up her earthly treasures.— Again and again she pressed that infant child to her heart, and covered its smilling face with kisses; and then, with that sweet smile of dying resignation and eternal love, she holds her darling in a long agonising embrace ; then, with true wifely trust, bequeaths the little orphan to its bereaved father, receiving from him a solemn promise that he will watch over, care for, and guide the sacred charge through the changes of life, and be to her all a father can be. He has forgotten how dependently those little arms clung around his neck, and probed his bleeding heart still deeper by her piteous cries for mamma; he has forgotten that sad day—a day of gloom and sorrow—when he last gazed upon her he most loved, and Baw them consign her to the cold damp earth. Yes, all this has passed from his mind, and he suffers himself to be the dupe of a false-hearted woman. He breaks the promise made to hi* dying wife, and before Qod stands guilty, spurning the child he once so dearly loved.

Of all the useful branches taught, or pretended to bo taught in our schools, perhaps no one is so much neglected as that of spelling. The numerous specimens of spelling that we have had an opportunity of witnessing the past few years, remind us very forcibly of some pretty independent and original minds in a late legislature, (not a thousand miles from here,) that were not to be trammeled by dictionaries or "book larnin." Eight different members of the committee on mileage and debentures, spelled the word committee in eight different ways, and all wrong, as follows : " Committy, commity, comitie, committie, comitte, committe, comittee, comitee." Perhaps they adopted the principle of a certain lawyer, who, when taken to task in court by his opposing counsel, for bad spelling, retorted that " a man must be a fool if he could not spell a word in more ways than one." Taking the theory of the lawyer as the correct one, some of our teachers must be Yery wise, for we hare discovered other words than the one in question, spelled in as many as eight different ways. And while we are so anxious that our teachers should be a great deal more thorough in teaching spelling,- we do not wish them to (nor need they) neglect any other studies that may be pursued by their pupils.Perhaps reading, next to spelling, is a branch that is sadly neglected. We think it is; and we do hope that our teachers will be more thorough than they have been in times past. Never for one moment should they forget, that: 475. To know that we are welcome is as good as the feast. 1863. FRESH SPRING G00DS- 1863. RE1GEL, WIEST & ERVIN, IMPORTERS AND JOBBERS A lawyer riding through the town of Worcester, stopped at a cottage to inquire his way. The lady of the house told him he must keep on straight for some time, and then turn to the right; but said that she herself was going to pass the road that he must take, and if he would wait a moment till she could get her horse ready, she would show him the way. " Well," said he, " bad company is better than none —make haste." After jogging on five or six miles, the gentleman asked if he had not come to the road he must take. " Oh, yes," said sho, " we have passed it two or three miles back; but I thought bad company was better than none, so I kept you along with me." The Stepmother. SwEARixa Alone.—A gentleman heard a laboring man swearing dreadfully in the presence of companions. He told him that it was a cowardly thing to swear in company with others, when he dare not do it by himself. The man said he was not afraid to swear at any time or place. " I'll give jou ten dollars," said the gentleman, " if you will go to the village grave yard at 12 o'clock to-night, and swear the same oaths you have uttered here, when you are alone with God." BT LENA I.ORK Foreign and American Dry Goods, I have a horror of stepmothers; for having had some experience of mv own, it is no wonder that I feel inclined to stigmatize the whole class. However (I must admit,) I have known a few exceptions to the general rule ; few though .they are, comparatively. Still these are so noble and praiseworthy, that the name seems half bereft of its cold, cruel sound. A goad stepmother is, indeed, a heroine; for she must be truly noble to fill the position she assumes, and discharge all the duties faithfully. The highest attributes of the soul are called into constant exercise—patience, love, and forbearance—and these virtues, properly exeroised, only oan insure quiet, peace, and happiness to a family of children, when death has bereft them of their dearest earthly friend; and in her place another—a stranger—has steped in and presumes to diotate, direct, and lead the youthful minds intrusted to her charge.— I would to Heaven that I could write on this subject as I feel! but pen and prayer oannot do justice to the emotions of my heart, as I reeall the past, and think of the misery and crimc so often caused by cruelty of stepmothers to children. 0 ye who have known a mother's love and sympathising ears through childhood —who have listened to her daily advice and prayers—who have learned to reverence her every word and look—whose soulinspiring glance of affection ever met your appeals of love, and whose kind words and gentle voice soothed your angry moments, and calmed your irritated mind, teaching you the right path to control and submission—ye who have experienced all this, and more, from your earliest reoollections up to the present time, attach not too much importance to yourselves for what you now are—the position you now occupy—the character you sustain, or the happiness you enjoy—but rather thank God for your early training, and the influence of a loving mother's heart, whose life was love for, and devotion to bar ehildren—never tiring, never ceasing, but ever ready to guide and direct your erring minds—preparing you for a higher, nobler sphere or life, and an immortal existence hereafter.
