CHAPTER I.
looking dignified man, still on the snnny side of fifty, with but few grey threads in his attllluxariant hair. Reader mine, mayhap, with myself, yoa have met some peraons in this world who never seem to have had any accredited yoath—maidens, dubbed "old maid.i," because oftheir "primness" or "shy-
talks politics! TVhy, if they'd sent Miaa Betsey to slump the conntry Fremont and Jessie would now sit in tbe White House!— Now why not Miss Betsey, sinoe she'd copy all my briefs and perhaps get up all my pleas? Ha, ha, pnasy 1 look your old master in the face and see if he'd be fool enough to many
ness," long before they  turned   "the  first !a strong-minded  womau I   No, no, pass—
corner," and men set down as •' old baohe- lord" ere their prime, perhaps becauae of the htaid, aober gravity oftheir demeanor, or, aa ia often the case, because they were in their youth guiltless of sowing that very fertile seed whose harveat is denomtnated " wild oats."
Of this latter class waa Sqnire Holman— for his youth had been pare, kind-hearted, generons; his middle-age of a similar charaC' ter; and now, when goiug on toward his fif¬ ties, every-body voted him a good, old-fash¬ ioned gentleman—a very much appreciated "fixture" in the society of his native Dent- ford.
It was a cheery apartment the squire was left sitting fn that chilly October eveuing, with its glowing fire, the handsome carpet of rich, warm colors, the massive book-case, a round table covered with papers and maga- zineSj one or two ea.'^y-chairs for the Sqaire's lounging, and a little work-stand with its basket of sewing, and a stand of plants near the window—betraying, notwithstanding the Squire's bachelorhood, some feminine pres¬ ence.
Miriam Graves—plain, delicate, yet refined Miriam Graves—was an orphan child of four sammers when Squire Holman's mother gave her a home and cherishing care ; and it was about that time that WiUiam ("the Squire" of to-day,) came from college and opened his law-office in the village; and most faithfully filling the place of an adopted daaghter, did the girl watch over her kind benefactress, and shed teara of sorrow upon hercoffin when she died. Miriam had a little property in her own right—a few hundreds left by her father, whichwasalso swoUen by a similar bequest from good old Mrs. Holman ; but tbe squire wbo was a middle-aged lawyer of considera¬ ble renown at his mother's death, would as soon have thought of appropriating to his own use the scanty portion of those widows and orphans whose estate he "administered*' upon, as of receiving a ceut from Miriam—so it was settled that ahe should still keep hie hotise like a sister ; aud when the old mother was laid to her rest, her arm-chair still stood in its old place by the window, her glasses slill lay as she had left them on the opened, large print Bible, and Miriam carefally kept in "the press" of her chamber, the neat, black silk dresses the old lady used to wear; and summers and winters passed over the Hol¬ man mansion house—and William, " the Squire," grew to be a little grey—and Miriam, never a strong girl, stilt delicate and pate, glided on to her thirtieth birth-day.
Thirty summers over her head, and yet no lover had ever knelt to Miriam Graves 1— Somehow, she had escaped tbat usaal accred¬ ited "lot" of woman. Among all the match¬ making cliques of Dentford—the " sewing- circles," and " quilling,'' and " fairs," where gossiping spinsters most "do congregate," she had uot been held up as a target; even as the squire had been shI dowu as a bache¬ lor, for whom affaires de cua:r were supposed not to exigtjSO Miss Miriam's remained intact, —for Uobody aeemed to imagiue that uuder the somewhat shy, silent exterior of the girl going about her daily Itonso-wifely duties and miuiateriug so noiselessly, bat ellecta- ally to tbe bappinesa of those aronnd her, lay a atrong, earnest nature, aud heart capa¬ ble of great love and devotion.
Thus, had any one in Deutford connected Miriam's name with matrimonial speculations few belivers wonld bave been found. True, some knowing her worth, had said, " I wou¬ der the squire dou't marry her I"—but others replied, "why, they've beeu just like brother and sister all their days 1 Miriam's a good girl—^but then—well, I guess the squire ain't a marrying man!" which "gueas" the seem¬ ingly fixed bachelorship of the squire helped to confirm.
Andnow thesqaire sat there were Deacon Towers had left Mm—his slippered feet on the warm fender, and his head ou the Lack of his comfortable arm-chair, thiBking over what the deacon had said—" Squire,! wonder you never got married I"
And as he thoaght, and thought it over, it gradually became a matter of wonder to him¬ self too—sitting there alt alone with no com¬ pany save tbe great grey oat purring on the _ hearth-rug at hia feet, for Miriam had goue up to her ohamber early in the eveniug with a headache.
"There waa Richard Allbury, my cham in college," soliloquised the squire, " married now, ahd hla aon in college—James Derby a portly country doctor with a growing family and practice—Tim Halliday, poor Tim I he died and left a scanty income to hla wife and ohildreu—well, they were all at old Harvard with me—married young—and now—^how time flieal Over twenty-five yeara since theut why, it seems but yesterday since I got my degrde and came home to open an ofiice here in Dentford.   How consequential I felt when I
bare brought the tMuv to your eyes coold yoti bftTe witnessed the gratitude Mn. Jofan Drew evinoed wfaen I commMnloated the de- oision of the oonrt thia afternoon 1"
"Jaatlike him—always doing good—al¬ ways taking tfae part of the poor and down¬ trodden 1" said Miriam, as the gate oloaed be¬ hind him on hia way to Deacon Towers."
Well, thetrap waa set—the bait "took"— and Sqaire Holman wu oaoght.
Yea ere that firet evening waa over, irre¬ trievably, beyond the shadow ofa doubt, was the large hearted, nnanspicloaa conntry sqaire, the Ticttm of the showy, dashy, sweet voiced, fascinating oity widow, Mra. Ellis.
It was sarprising howrapidly the acquaint¬ ance progresaed, tbat evening ere the clock struck eleven, and he took a lingering, reluotant leave, remarking to the deacon on "theshort¬ ness of the eveninga ;" (for the goud squire quite foii^t that it was November, and they were growing longer,) while, hardly had his footsteps died along the front door yard walk ere, with a triumphant amile, the deacon turned to hla guest, saying, " I told you so, consin Maria I" and the lively widow, feign¬ ing a sudden attaok of girlish baahfalneaa, got np a counterfeit blush, and laughingly retreated to her room.
But faot it was, that the lure was aucces- ful; and he squire went home, tu forget his cuatomary chat with paaay at the fireside, but, instead, to linger before hia i^Iasa—to reaolve to parchase a bottle of Bogle's Hy¬ perion ou the morrow—and tfaen went to bed to dream of law cases iuunmerable, in all of which actions were snstained, "Drew versus Ellis," each winding up with the decision o' the Judge of the Sapreme Conrt sentencing his enemy, old Silas Drew, to marry the beau" tiful black -eyed widow.

And patient, gentle Miriam's head grew eaaier, and abe fell asleep at last in her chamber above, while tbe squire still a vt bu¬ ried in reverie. But somehow, despite his joc¬ ular soliloquy, the old sitting-room had never aeemed se lonely, nor his life so lonely as then. Is Squire Holman the only mau who walks blind-folded, stretching out his hand for a distant happinss, while the most suited to his need is within his grasp?
CHAPTER II.
bo3f*soverheaidr—thatbe—"whispered Un. Deacon Towera, turning pale, while "Maria" darted hastily by the rear passage to her chamber. Bat when the deacon's wife resol¬ ved to put on a bold front upon it, aud trust to the thibkneas of her walls for protection' entered her parlor, and when fascinatingly arrayed and handsome widow oame rustling down U> finish her conqaest, the parlor was deserted. '
"Goodness graoloust Maria, it was he went out when I heard the front door slam so!'*
"(jood aflernoou, Eqnirel Come in and spend the evening socially with us to-night. —Haven't seen you for this long lime. Got a little company at our house—my wife's cousin from Boston, come to stop a few weeka. Has lost her friend—feels rather down-heart¬ ed—drop in to-night," exclaimed Deacon Towers, meeting Squire Holman just return¬ ing from his office.
"Thank you, think I will. You see I've been busy enough for this month past with this case of Drew versus Drew. Old Silaa ap¬ pealed and it weut up to the Supreme Court —but the old fellow was worsted, and to ev¬ erybody's joy, I've no doubt—for when a mau rich as Silas Drew endeavors to wrest away the little all of his dead brother's wid ow aud orphans, the law ought lo serve him as it haa this day served him."
"You don't mean to say you've got tbe case for the widow, squire?"
"Yes, I do mean tbat I Verdict this after¬ noon for the plaintiff. I tell you, Deacon Towers, it did the court good to see Silas Drew's crest-fallen look. Bat I'U be round to-night. Give my reapects to your wife, and tell her that business has hindered my be¬ coming neighborly. Wife's cousin, did you aay stopping with you ? Eatate to settle ?— lost her friend ?— a client for me ?—^ha, ha deacou I" aud with a smile of good humor the Squire harried homeward.
"Yes, a client for you, aqtiirel" laughed Deacon Towers, at his owu tea-table that uight, as he repeated lo his wife the accept¬ ance of his offer; upon which they too laugh¬ ed aud nodded knowing to a handsome, showy, black-eyed womau of apparently thir¬ ty y^ars, who sat oppoaite at the tea-table	
"his wife's coasin," the widow Maria Eltis, of winning exterior and pleasing address, who had come dowa to tbat quiet country town ; and she laughingly told them ou tbe first day of her arrival, purposely " to make her market."
"Good, cousin !" said the worthy deacon, whose soberness of demeanor, I am sorry to say, did not always comport with his title, 'we have the very man for you in Dentford —Squire Holman—not fifty yet, fine house, funded properly, aud no incu.I brance but a sort of old maid adopted sister, Miriam Graves —but she'd lie easily got rid of. We must aak the pquire over, wife, aud make the match.    Wbat do you thiuk,  wife ?"
To whieh arrnngement "wife" eagerly as- .souted, and an eariy evening was named ; while the smiling widow smoothed the folda ofher lavender-colored Merino, and grace¬ fully listened to a recountal of the squire's virtues aud—property. Wheu he reached home, the squire said, "Miriam, Deacon Towers* wife has invited na over to spend the evening;" (the good squire quite forgot that Deacon Towers alao forgot (0 to include her iu the arrangement;) " how ia it, can you go, Miriam ?"
" I had promised to sit up with Mrs. Bond's sick child to night, for it ia very sick, Wil¬ liam;" (Miriam always caUed the Squire " William," like a good brother as he was ;) " bnt you go over, and tell Mra. Towers I am much obliged, but will come iu soou—some other evening," was her reply, pasaing him his cup of fragrant Hyson. " I saw the stage stop there a day or two ago—and thought likely it brought them company. Oh, did you get the case for the widow Drew, Wil Iiam ?"
" Yes, Miriam.   Thank heaven I Silaa Drew
found out that the law brought him up.	
How contemptibly mean—how devoid ctf hu¬ man compassion—^must be tbe scoundrel who would rob hia own brother's wife and ohildren ofthe homestead—the roof that covers them! Why, Miriam, he had brought up olaima enongh to have covered the whole property; but hia villainy was unmasked, and he is utterly defeated. This affair will wind np the old miser's career in Deutford. Miriam, I'd work a thouaand times harder than I have for a month past, rather than tfaat so&mp should triumph I   I declare, Miriam, 'twould
CHAPTER III. " Well, Miriam, they do say that the squire ia sartinly courtln' that city widder a visitln* Mr. Deacon Towers!" said old''annt Snsy Bean, settling herself in the arm chair at the sitting-room window, aud drawing forth her knitting work from her huge blaok silk work- bag. " La I who'd a thought it, child, lo up and marry a stranger ? They do say she's powerful handaome tho'! My Mlrandy see her at meetin' Sabba' day, and aays she is proper lookin*, with eyes as black a a sloe.— The deacon's wife was a oity woman; yon kuow; and she's good-lookin'; but then, la, who knowa auytbing else about tbia Mrs. Ellis ? She's ily and soft aa silk, I'll warrant —widders allers is, cbild—bnt who'd a thought the squire'd goue to faltin' in love with her?" and the old lady laid her old, wrinkled hand ou the girl's tbin delicate one. "La, child ! you ain't very well, are you ?— How cold yonr bauds be! You've been tend¬ ing Mias Bond's sick children too much—aud now you're almost dowu stck yourself.— There, lay down on thip lounge, and dou't try to sew this afternoon, while I'll set here and kuit. Maybe you get asleep, so I won't talk much—but deary me, child! who'd a thought Squire William would a dreamed o' gettin' married? It's my 'pinion his mother allers thought William'd be a batchelder.— Misa Hoiuuu—she waa a nice old lady—I recollect as though 'twas ouly yisterday when William came home from college, and fust opened his office—^you was a li.tle gal theu, Miriam—a leetle pindling creetur"— and straightway, adhering to her resolution of " not talking mnch," the old lady launched forth into her knitting, and a diaaertatton on the sqaire's family aud the talkedof court¬ ship.
And Miriam, poor Miriam! lay there with her thiu hand shading her aching eyes-would it migbt also thus shield her aching heart!
Her aching hearl—for, of late, within the past two or three weeks, duriug which reports had reached her from others, while he was only strangely ailent, had plain, aby Miriam Graves awakened to the fact that a woman may love more deeply,fervently, iu her prime thau wheu the flush of youth is hers—aud may suffer, loo, oh, how much more in¬ tensely 1
It was a cold December Sabbath evening when Squire Holman walked buoyantly and cheerily toward Deacon Towers' house. Cer¬ tainly his thoughta ran in the moat pleasing vein, for they were of the fascinating widow, in wfaose aociety he had passed nearly every evening since that eventful one when we saw hfm first her viotim. Aud be had resolved on this evening to ask her the momentous question which ahonld seal his fate—for, like men who fall in love when late in years, his wooing was likely to prove a speedy one. ¦
As he reached the gate leading to Deacon Towers' house, the church bells began to ring for evening service, and he encountered the church-going deacon just setting forth.
"Ah, good evening, squire! Walk right in! Glad you called to-night; for Mrs.'Ellia has just beeu talking of leaving us to-morrow, aud you must help my wife persuade her to the coutrary. Walk right into the parlor while I speak to them; and yoa'll escuse me, as I had started for the meeting. Sit down, sqaire; the ladies'll be with you in a minute!" aud his host left hfm to summon them.
Now it so chanced that, instead of remain¬ ing in the diunlng-room where the deacon had left them, the two ladies—engaged in an earnest conversation—had eutered au adjoin¬ ing bedroom, in the rear of the parlor also where Mrs. Deacon Towers waa occupying herself with the double duty of puttiug the youngest Towers to bed for the night, and con¬ tinuing au animated dialogue with her fair cousin.
" Yes, I tell you," she went on in a slightly raised voice, which drowned sundry cries of the sleepy, nestling child, " he'll be here to¬ night fast enongh, Maria, and then for the proposal I Just throw out that you're going to leave to-morrow—I'll warrant Samuel will tell him so if he gets a chauce—aud it'll hurry him up a little; Why, it's all over town, Mara! Dr. Ames' wife pulled my sleeve as we were coming out of meeting this afternoon—huah ! go to sleep, child!—and aays she, 'I hear strange stories about Squire Holman I' Yes, it's town talk already, Maria —these countiy people spread news fast— and to-night, I sappose, the crisis will come. That black ailk is very becoming to you, Maria. We can't get dressmakers here to flt a basque like that. The deacon says the squire's dead iu love, and we shall have you aettled over the Holman place before the winter's out. Yon haven't seen Miriam Graves yet—she ain't been in here since you came—been siok with a cold, the squire says but she won't stand in the way, for she's a queer, prim, old maid. I wish you joy of yoar visit to Dentford, Maria.
"Oh, nonsense, Sarah!" replied a voice, in which the listener (for the sqaire could not but hear) had no difficulty iu recognizing the dul¬ cet tones of his syren, "my visit hasn'tended yet; and as uncle Jack would aay, 'dont crow till you're out of the woods.' I wish you could have heard him give me my parting charge, Sarah. 'Don't yon show your head here again, Maria, till you bring a huBband. Pick np some rich old codger up there— aome clever, easy soul, who'll let yoa hotd the purse strings.' Uncle Jaok is getting terribly miserly, Sarah, and, to tell the troth, I'd mairy almost any mau for a home. How muoh is this good-natured old-fogy squire worth, Sarah?"
"Oh, about forty or fifty thouaand, the dea¬ cou says—hark! d'idu't you hear the front door shut? Now Sarah Aun, what do you waut? This is the eixth or seventh time you've pat your head into the door while we've been talking!"
"Fathersaidashow somebody—somebody's a waitin' thia evei so long in the parlor moth¬ er!" stammered ont the youthful Sarah Ann addressed, who had been vainly striving to direct her maternal parent's attention from the conw^ation and the baby during tfae laat few minutes.
"Goodness! Marifll yon don't think any-

CHAPTER IV. There was no caudle burning when Squire Holmau reentered the sitting-room, after a aomewhat hasty walk, during which several epithets, neither choice nor dassioa^— niBter found on the pages of Coke or Black¬ stone, or oonsiatent with the dignity of an el¬ derly member of the legal profesaiou, were caat upou the keen air of that Deoember even¬ ing; but tfae fire on the hearth bumed brightly enough to reveal the slender form of Miriam Gravea, reclining in her rocking- chair near the grate.
Very pale and thin sfae looked, and her
whole face hsd an expression of suffering
about it; but a faiut blush overspread her
cheek, as she rose, saying,
'* What? back ao soon? I had thought—I
was not expecting you—that is, I thought "
" Thought what, Miriam f That I was over to Deacon Towers' ?" aaked the squire, ab¬ ruptly, almost sternly, flinging himself into the arm-obair.
"Yeg, William," answered Miriam, some¬ what hesitatingly, and drooping her eyes be¬ neath his gaze.
"And why should you have, thought ?" he asked, in a strange, quick tone—a tone which Squire Holman had never used before, and which caused poor, gentle, quiet Miriam's heart to proudly resist and rebel against him. "Why did I thiuk that, WUliam Holman!" ahe replied with apirit, raisiug her eyes, and looking bim full iu the face. " Do you ask me that question when all Dentf rd knows why you spend your eveninga there? I'm sure I don't know wby you bave been socold aud distant to me in this matter, squire, uu less you felt that it would be unpleaaant for me to give up the management here, whioh I have tried to do faithfully siuce her death," aud here her voice softened, '* but you needn't have thought so?" she added again, proudly. " You kuow that you have the right to do as you please—thia house la yours, and if you are to be any happier, William, with this womau whom you are to bring here, I for oue ahall rejoice as much as anybody. I will resign to-morrow—any time you please; I will go away—take a room somewhere—live anywhere by myself, ifit only makes you any happier ; only dou't treat me like a stranger, squire—WiUiam!"
" Miriam, what have tbese coufounded gos- sipping people told you ?" asked the squire, abruptly.
" What have they told me ? Why, what, but that you're goiug to bring your wife here —that Mrs. Ellis—WUliam ! Don't all Deut¬ ford kuow this ?" ausweredj Miriam with spirit.
" All Dentford lies then !—^yes, it lies!" burst forth tliH squire, with darkeniug brow, and curling lip, " and I am glad it does He, for,-Miriam I tell you here wbat, au bour ago* I never lh.>ught to tell any human being ; Miriam, I have been a fool for three weeks past—yes, a poor fool!—give me your hand now, my good girl—and here, before heaven, hear me now—that I never will bring a wo¬ mau here to put coldneaa and estrangement between us—^you aud I, Miriam, who all these long years bave lived so happy together "
There was a loug paase tfaere before the fire, ouly broken by the ceaseless tiok of the old clock, aud the crackling of the hickory logs in the old fire-place; but Miriani's hand waa still clasped in the sqaire's, and when she looked up to catch hia gaze, there were tears in ber eyes. And sbe looked almoat handsome iu the red fire-light, with the pink glow on her cheeks tbat came and went rap¬ idly.
Perhaps there was something In the unoou- soious clinging of her hand, and iu those grateful eyes, that set the squire to thinking ; perhaps, in that brow, a sense of her life long devotion to his mother, aud her unceasing attention to hia own comfort, flashed over him; aud, perchance, like alightuing revela- tio^, came tfae thought, that happiness might uot yet be beyond bis reach, for, in another moment, after suddenly putting Miriam away from him, and earnestly reading her grateful, blushing face, he drew her head to hia shoul¬ der, and aaid," Yes, Miriam, I see it now. I have beeu a blind fool—walking iu the dark, overlooking tfae tenderest devotion, the best and purest heart that ever beat iu woman's breaat. I am uot the flrst who has gone astray to seek for pearls when they lay beside my very hearlhatone, (the squire was getting poetical, wasn't he reader ?) and now, cau yoa forgive me, Miriam ? And, as we two bave all our lives enjoyed a large measure of happiness in each other's affection, let us now love one another dearer, tenderer, yet. This ought to have been years ago, I feel it now, Miriam, and till this hour I did not know faow neoeaaary you are to me, and how inferior are aU other women to you, my gentle, pa¬ tient girl. You know what I would aak, Mir¬ iam ?"
Whether Miriam, sitting, there lu the flre- shine, with such a sense of new-born joy as had never before knocked for admittance at her lonely heart, uow flooding her whole being, comprehended Sqaire Holmau's appeal or not can ouly be inferred from the fact, that the squire wore a very sunny lace all the remain¬ der of that evening, (and, for that matter, all the remainder of his life, too,) and actually smUed wben he learned next day, that Dea¬ con Towers' wife's cousIk had received an unexpected letter, whose contenta suddenly recalled ber to the oity, (?) and farther, that, before the wiuter's anows had began to dis¬ solve in the genial breath of spring. Squire Holmau and Miriam Graves uo longer led lonely, divided lives, but learned iu the new relation upon whiuh they had entered, the fulnesa of tbnt happiness which is tasted in "the conjunction of lives and the noblest of friendships."
" Queer, pussy, wasn't it, that after all I should have married qniet, shy, little Mir¬ iam?" said the squire one night, stroking tbe cat, aa he sat by his blazing fire. . Aud queer, reader, wasn't it, tfaat "Squire Holmau's wooing" should have tumed out auch a hnmdram, common-place affair, after aU?

How to Make Children Happy.
" LU»le thlng(. oa little wlngt*. Bear Uttlo BOiJIfi to hoHven."
It is very ustial witVua,who have advanced to the time of "the ^Hore'aud yellow leaf," who are burdened with the increasing weight of years aud responsibUitles, and who realize to tfae fall the poet's assertion, that this is a " Cbaogefnl Ufa; So manifold hi carfls that ejery day Brlzigs Ita own hardens with It;"
I say, it is a very common thing-for us lo say to our ohildren: "Ahl now is your happy time, now is your season of enjoyment, now yon have nothing to trouble and nothing to annoy you, ouly to aing, dance and play; oh 1 if / could but be young again 1" etc., eto. To a great extent this is true. God, in his infinite meroy, haa constituted childhood with a capacity for reoeiving pleasure from every trifle; and who oan donbt this as he watches ita free, daucing, joyous movements, hears its melodious laaghter, or gazea on its aunny face? The canning little rogues seemed to have found out the long-desired secret of " settiug a trap to oatoh sonbeams."
Still, it faas often stmck us that the dally life of a ohild is not so happy as it might be. It stabs ns to the very heart to see a little heedless offender roughly chidden, or even personally chastised, for au accident caused, it may be, by tbe superabundance of its joy¬ ous activity. Perhaps a «urly-pated urchin, goaded on by the excess of his infantile curi¬ osity, makes a tiny stab iu his drum, to find ont where the "music comes from," or sur¬ reptitiously gives a prick to his elastic ball, "to see what makes it jump." The toys are spoiled, it is true, which is a great pity, bat still worse is itto hear the upbraldlngs which are showered upou his defenceless "head by mother t)r nurse. How much better would it be to reprove him gently for what can hardly be called a punishable act, or to take advan¬ tage of the same opportunity lo give him a simple lessou in natural philosophy, which would never be forgotten. Or again, we have kaown severe oorrection to have followed the spontaneous confession of a fault, when the little culprit, at the expense of a vast amount of sensibility and timidity, has stammered forth the burden that bas been lying on his miud for honrs, only to be met by harsh and injudicious severity. What oan such a parent expect as the result of his discipline, but future falsehoods, or sly attempts at conceal¬ ment ? This reminds us of an incident that happened to ns the other day. While walk¬ ing in the street, we passed two or three chU¬ dren in eameat couvers:rlti6n : their looks and tones attracted j)ur attentiou, moreespeciaUy the sentence uttered by one as we passed, "My mother never spoke a rough word to me." We involuntarily turued aud looked at the boy. There he stood, a sturdy-look¬ ing little fellow, in fustian jacket aud cordu¬ roy trowsers, but with such a beaming, happy faco as is not often to be aeen in a poor man's ohild. Aud who cau wonder at tlie look of care aud depression that is ofteu visible in ohildren who are snnbbed, and twitteii, and snapped at from Monday morning till Satur¬ day night, and from Saturday night till Mon¬ day moming ? Of conrse we do not wiah to imply that children are frequently placed in such uuhappy circumatances ; yet, how few parents can claim the compliment that Cow¬ per pays to his mother, when he ispeaks of her
" Coastaut flow of love that knew no fall. Ne'er rougheaed by those cataracts aad brcakH, That humor interposed too oftea makeH."
When we think ofsthe triflea, the very nothings, that will make a child bappy for days and weeks, it makes one sigh to thiuk how aeldom they are bestowed.on them — " Little things please little minds," we some¬ times hear uttered witb a half-contemptuous smile. Fathers and mothers, be thankful that it ia so! Be thankful that a handful of wild flowers, a ripe aud ruildy apple, a few blocks of wood, or a peacock's feather, will make your child shout for joy, and cause his dancing limba to bear witnesa to the light¬ ness of his heart. We have kuown a child amused for a long winter's day, when cold aud sleet have confined him to the fireside, by half au hour's patient instraction, some paper and a pair of scissors ; while his bright, jntelligent eyes have borae testimony to his triumph over the miniature boats and ships that he has coustrncted. Au addition of one or two colore and a paint-brush have made him as happy as a king, and seut him lo bed with his head crowded with visions of Lilli' putian fleets and naval engagements. We repeat, that no work is easier or so well paid as the amusement of chUdren-
"Theirs is tbe lanshinB of lbe breast;"
and many a gentle word, or encouraging caress, is treasured in their hearts, to be re¬ paid at some future time by simple attentioua in illness.
Never allow your children to ba idle. Idle¬ ness is the root of all evil, and a child who is allowed to hang liatlesaly over the fire, and lounge about on easy-ohalr or sofa, will as¬ suredly he a burden in time lo come.' If he appears wearied of his toys, draw him kindly to you, and tell or read some simple story; if posaible, get liim to copy aome animal or bird mentioned in it; show him how to fab¬ ricate a walnut-shell boat, or a fly-catcher, or au ornament for the bed-room oaudlestick, or some coarse neltirg for cabbage-nets, or some tapers for lighting candles. And let him see that you value hiswork, by using it. Nothing damps a child's pleasure more, after he has completed some yonderful fabrication, whioh is to accomplish narvels in the domeatio de¬ partment, than t> see it laid aside as uaeless or smiled at suf^roiUoasly. Use it, if it be possible ; or, stil better, assist him in making

a more perfect ine. It always seems more difficult to amua boys than girls, because it is thought effei linate to Instruct them in many thiuga wil i whioh girls are acquainted. This we believeto be-a grand mistake. We knew a family ijhere all the children, both boys and girls. Fere taught knitting and net- ling. No one iwaa allowed to make their marble baga forthem, aud certainly marvel¬ ous and gorgems in the extreme were tbe colora they selected; still, they were more prized by then than any fabrications that could be purclased, besides encouraging a taste for indnsry and a love for domestic iife. Our readirs may smile, but this is a fact. The boy/ hailed the winter evenings with pleaaure, when they kept time with tbeir busy fluprs to the narration of some startling advet ure, or school exploit, and faj. from becoming "feminized," grew up dome3_ licated iu theii tastes, aud unlike the shift. less creatures neu usually are in the items of buttons anl strings. Always accept tbe bome-mauafac ures of your boya, if u^ged upon you. T ere ia inherent in all boy- nature a cert iu chivalrous and knightly feeling, which ^ey love to gratify, and by aU meaus encourale this wfaen possible. Many a happy hour Vill be passed by your little son, if he knowj that the rough piece of wood which he is so ^aborately carving into aome mythical and exiinot animal wiU be accepted with a smile auQtreasured with love.
Give your chiaren a love for nature. It was our favoreduot to be brought up by a loving, intelligent]Chriatian mother, aud nev¬ er shall we ce&k to feel gratitude lo her memory for the many pleaaant hours ber early leasons ha^ i inaured ua. From child¬ hood we were t lined to admire and love nataral objects. Vhat an ovation was per¬ formed iu honor c the first violet, and what a joyous discoveiy it was to espy the first pale primrose of the season! Even after long years ot sorrow and trial, a thrill of happiness rejtma at the recollection of these innocentpleaERires ;^of the approval she never omitted to m^u^oatat indioatlons ofa desire ' to solve any M the many wonders of leaf, and
bnd, and'flower; oftbe pleaaure with which ahe would aurve our coUeotfons of variegated snail-dhella, or the. arrangement of all tbe varieties of grasses we oonld collect. SUe also allowed us to feed caterpiUars, (always, however, being most sornpalouB as to the kindness with which they were treated,) and no words oould desoribe onr delight as we watched the wondroua ohange into chrysalis andrbatterfly, while she wonld take advan¬ tage of It to lead our thoughts to the atill more wondrous transformation of tbe humau body, Tfae eveuing houra of an intelligent child might be profitably employed in arran¬ ging the ahetla, grasses, flowers, etc., coUeoted -during tfae summer, placing them carefally on paper or card, and writing tbe description of their claeaes, orders, or parts beneatb.— Live pets, also, deserve notice here, since tending, feeding,, and nursing them afibrds : great deUght lo.cfaldren, and fosters their kiudly feelings
By ttU means encourage brothers and sisters to love thesame amusements, Ofcoarae those of an inleUeotnal kind are meant, since we faave no desire to transform our boya Into women, or to make our girls romps. Bnt, in the study of botany, or natnral history, one may matoriaUy aid the other. The boy wUl .exhibit: more courage and ddxterity in secur¬ ing the prizes, wbich the "neat-handed Ffaillis " cau more delicately manipulate aud examine; or tfae girl may make a very pretty drawing of the varioua butterflies, beetles, eto, which the boy may color; whUe tbe neatest writer may add the description.' A charming Httle- volame might thus be-com- meuced at a comparatively early age, which both would enjoy to review aa they progress, and mark the improvement they faave made Or, again, a boy who was clever aa a carpen¬ ter might be directed faow to form very pretty baskets and vases for holding the flower pots in the drawing-room or garden, while the girl could cleverly decorate tfaem with pine cones, (spUt down tfae center in order to be more easily glned,) which, if washed, could after¬ wards be varnished ; or bouquets of flowera might be skeletonized and bleached at the sole expense of time and trouble, and thus a charming ornament for the parlor would be produced. Hundreds of these little trifling employments will suggest themselves to the mind of any intelligent mother, and she will tfaen be spared the annoyance of a liatless. '*What shall 1 do? Ihave nothingto do!'' that too ofteu degenerates Into ill-humor and peevishness. Never mind how trivial the occupation, so that it be but useful aud trains your ohild to an abhorrence of idleness.
Never think it too much trouble to answer yonr children's questions. How often do we hear tfae tart reply: "I'm aure I don't know, child ; pray don't tease me when yon see I'm buay!" Thia is the sureat way to stunt the growth of your child'.<) miud. It is the moat cruet and ruthless oouduol poasihle, thus to deny a child the information for which he craves, and to allow him to feel all the awk¬ wardness and pain to which ignorance ex¬ poses him. Rather hail with joy these indi¬ cations of a growing mind, and make the little inquirer happy by drawing bim to you wilh a kiss, and as full aud pmit-nt au elucidation as be may require.
And if you wish hia little cup of happiness to overflow for one day at least, when the in¬ quiring fit is over, give yourself up to a game of romps with him ; or let him bring his stool to tbat snug comer where you sit, and get bis tea quite nnder your wing ; or give him a baked apple for his supper; or, best ofall, iu his eyes, lot him sit up half an hour over his usual bedtime, with a Iwok of colored pictures in his hand, aud his little rosy fa^e iu your boaom. If you givo your child a pre¬ sent, make it donbly precious by the way in which you do it. Hide it in some snug cor¬ ner, where he witl be sure to flnd it out; in his little shoe or iu the pooket of bis frock ; or let it come by post, directed to him; or let it be that same wonderful secret by which you hav^e beeu mystifying him for a day or two paat, tiU he is iu a perfect agony of curi- oaity ; or let the servant bring it to the door with a flourishing riug, and send him to open it; any of these plans will seud him to bed aa happy as a prince, aud flll his boait with fresb joy each time he thinks of it.
Make yonr children happy in each other, encouraging tbem to feel that a pleasure en¬ joyed alone is only half enjoyed. If one of them buy only a farthing sugar-stick, teach him to feel a delight in offering a taate to all the reat. As far as posaible, let their pre¬ sents to each otber be of their own manufac¬ ture—not purchases. Let the boya carve silk-winders, or make bone-crochet hooks, or copy iu their best style aome favorite poem, (auoh. as Johnny Gilpin or the Babes in the Woods,) transcribing it into a neat manu¬ script volume, perhaps adorned with original iUustratious. Let the girls make book-marks, satchels for school-books, or a leathern cover for some favorite volume. Cherish the little outbursts of affectiou natural to Ihem. Do uot chide yoar boys for a few irrepressible tears at leaving bome for boarding-school, nor encourage " manliness " at the expense of brotherly affection, and do uot grudge au hour bestowed upou a little pains-taking letter-writer, or juvenile composer, who is auxious to give an acconnt of various home detaila to the absent one. Let him write two or three sentences of his epistle each night, overlooked by an elder, sister; the one will feel happy at being able to instruct, the other wilt be grateful at tfae sight of the letters that grow beueath bis pen. By any meaus, at any expense of trouble to yourself, make home happy to your childreu ; let it always remain in their memories as a type of all that ia peaceful, loving, and attractive; let them constantly revert to it as a soothing remembrance in the houra of pain, sorrow or privation, and let its assOGialions be so hal¬ lowed and precious aa to restrain them iu temptation and strengthen them in trial.— Yours ia a noble mission ; 0 parents ! see that ye fulflU it witb that wisdom and gentle¬ ness which will prove you worthy of the dignity aud honors it confers!

Paity-ism among Teachers.
" Good evening, ma'am,—I see that some of the. teaohera have aclas^; meeting up in
: Bchool-roool, why ain't you there ?"
" Oh, sir, I don't belong lo that party." Tbeabove conversation occnrred between two old teachers, who have taught for many years in the pablio schools in the towu where they now live. Who would have dreamed anch a thing a few years ago ? Who would have thougfat that the teachers would have arrayed themselves iu two bosiile partie;*, or clans, ready on all ocoaaioua.to attack and villify the.other "party." Truly this U a lamentable state of affairs. Aud where such feelings exist, so adverse to allthe best inter¬ ests of the true aud devoted teaoher, we are very naturally led to inquire, what great and important cauae is there for this disastrous condition of Ibings ? But when we flnd them to origiuate In personal prejudice of some in¬ fluential teacher or teachers, tbe matter seems not only inexcusable but higbly censurable.
Teachers who are truly interested iu their vocation, have one common interest, and tbat is the beat welfare of tbeir schools. And so uniform is this, that there is very lillle that promotes the welfare of one that does not apply lo all.
As this wiU be conceded to be true, ou the ground of unanimity of iutei est, there should bo unanimity of feeling. Personal feelings of favor or animosity, all tendency to individual pique, sbould be caat aaide as dust in the balance ; and the great cauae of educating the youth iu the beat and most effectual way, be the all abaorbing sabjeet.
Teachers shoald know no party, the existence or countenance of which should conflict with the great cause of Education.— When the contrary arises, it would be well for the teachers to examine the matter well and supptssa it, ere au intelligent pnblic cast its deserved censure upon alt concerned in its encouragement. We never will knowingly encourage such party-isms. It is wrong, un¬ mistakably wrong.

SYMPATHY. Tbere are mauy ways in whioh this may be manifested aud advantageously exercised be¬ sides giving childreu consolation when hurt. Sympathy is not a feeling to be exercised only wheu others are iu distress. It is nol that feeling which cau only be aroused by sorrow. True sympathy feels for others, whether iu pleasure or pain. It joys with other's joy, and saddens with other's sadness. This is the kind that' little children sbould receive.
It is a very commou thiug for parents to interdict all those sources of amusement iu children that iu any wise interfere with their own labors, operations or enjoyments. Noise disturbs them; childreu cannot play without noise, therefore tbey must stop their play !— Tho reasoning is both clear aud coucIu.*;ivrt. But let ns look at the premises. As social bniugs wo have neither aright to do or expect that, for our owu happliie.« which infringes upon the rights of others. Children liave rights, dear sacred rights, and the.sp riijlits .should bti respected. Among tbem are the right to pure air, wholesome food, aud healthful exercise ; the right to a good edu¬ cation, and moral training ; a training that would make them good and useful meu and women. Theso are not conventional rights, bnt God-given rights, an inherent part of hu- mauity ; and uo delegation or legislative ac¬ tion cau rightfully take them away. Children therefore, have a just right to tbat exercise, that will cultivate and improve their charac¬ ters and dispositions. This will be more ap¬ parent by a little illustration. We well know that if we put one of onr arms in a sling and keep it there for a year or two and theu al¬ tempt to uso it, we will find it to be a very weak and useless member. Aud how mncb worse would it be for tbat child tbat should be confinod in snch a way as to be prevented from taking any actiou or making any elfort for itself uulll it arrivedat manhood ? Would it uot be most effectually incapacitated for any effort, action, or duty of life, although it might have been a looker ou wben othera were exercising their rights and acting out their duties.
Then ItfoUows that it is essentially neces¬ sary for children to have a very extensive physical and mental exercise to qualify them for their varied relations iu future lifo. Not ouly have they a right to demand this, but parents are bound by the immutable, eternal laws of God, aud by the most sacred obliga¬ tions to their offspring to see tbat they have tbese rights.
Wben children are engaged in some play or amusement which to them is ofall importance, how cruel is it lo stop them sbort in their proceedings with "bush, be quiet, go aud sit down and be still." Ob, how much better would it be to sympathize with them in their employments, and sometimes leud a helping baud lo them, lo encourage them or guide themlo thatof the most profitable caste. '
Teachers' Meeting.
In another column may be fouud a uotice for the next Lancaster couuty Teachers' meet¬ ing. As tbis legitimately concerns our depart ment we bave a word or two to say upon it.
About 30 years ago the Teachers of Essex county, Mass., for the purpose of farthering the cause of Education formed themselves into a couuty Teachers' Association, the first that vas ever organized iu this couutry, aud perhaps iu tbo world.
About 20 years ago, in tho town of Charl¬ ton, Saratoga oounty, N, Y., a County Teach¬ ers society was organized and flourished fora time.
In Juue, 1S5I, Jobn Martiu aud Heury Stauffer put In the Laucaster papers acall for a County Teachers' meetiug,wbich ou the 2d of August, resulted iu the organization of the Lancaster Coonty Teachers' Association.
This Association has been productive of mucb good and many great and noble works in the cau3e of Edncation in this county had their rise aud origin in Ibis Association. It has rather been the leading Association in the State. Its next meeting will no doubt be very interesting to the Teachers of our couuiy.
