His chil- j dren, slanted in thei£ growth, bore traces j of unwholesome nurture; hut they had beauty in sight- Above all things, it was an earnest desire of this man’s soul that his children should bo taught. ' “If I am sometimes misled,” said 1 he, “for 1 want of knowledge, at least let them know better, and avoid my mistakes. If it is hard to mo to reap the harvest of pleasure and instruction that is stored in books, let it-bo easier to them.” But the Bigwig family broke into violent family quarrels concerning what it .was' lawlul to leach to this man’s children. Some of the family insisted on such a thing being primary ind indispensable above all other things; and others of. the family insisted on such another thing being primary and indispensable above {all other things; and the Bigwig family, rout into Lotions, wrote pamphlets, held convocations, delivered charges, Orations, and all varieties of discourses; impounded one another in courts Lay and courts Ecclesiastical; threw dirt, exchanged pommel jogs, and frill together by the' ears ini unintelligible animosity. Meanwhile, this man, in. his short evening snatches" at his !6re-sule, saw the demon Ignorance arise there, and take his children to itself. Ho sow his daughier, perverted into a heavy, slatternly drudge; ho saw his son‘go moping-: down the ways jof low sensuality,ito brutality and crime; be saw tho.dnwning light of intelligent in the eyes of his babes so changing inter cunning and suspicion, that he could have rather wished them idiots..

"The world moves,“ kud a very singular movement it made jn the Courts a few days since, -■ It may ho remembered that, some short time ago/several Aldermen and Assistants .-.were arrested' bn an indictment, in which the principal charges against.them were bribery»ud corruption. The Grand! Jury—a new one, by the way —have made another sweep; this Uine, : among a different,set of officials; and charges of a still Worse character arc brought forward against various .Commissioners and Contractors,’ who, it appears, have been r&ddmrlhe public cpffere' by wholesale. Amongthc crimes imputed to them is the receiving in trust, by ’diflerent contractors, of large sums of money, intended to defray the expenses of cleaning and lighting tho city, hut which same the parties in puestion qnieliy divided, and the streets were left to take care of themselves as} they might. Thus far, there has been discovered no law that might not bo so trusted as to admit of the escape of such offenders. It now remains to • bo seen whether it is possible to bring the perpetrators of such deeds to-punishment. If it is not. (for the fault exists in all our departments of government,) this nation will become tho scoff of the universe.

lib lived on the bank of .a mighty river, broad nnd deep, which was altvoys silently rolling on to a vast undiscovered ocean. It'had rolled on; ever since the world began. It has changed! its ‘ course sometimes, nnd turned into now channels, leaving its old ways dry and‘barren} hot it had over been upon the flow,' and ever was to flftv until'time shall be no more. Against Its strong unfathomable stream, nothing made head. No living creature, no flower,-no leaf, no particle Of animate or inanimatelesistenco.cver strayed hack from the undiscovered ocean. The'lide of the river .set resistlcssly. towards it; rn l the tide never slopped, any more than the earth stops in its circling round tho snn. ‘

*•1 don't understand* this any the belter,” said bp;, “but I think it cannot bo right. Nay, by the clouded heaven above me, I protest agdinst this as my wrong!” Becoming peaceable again (for his-pas-sion waV Unusually short-lived, and his nature kind), he looked about him on his Sundays, and holidays, and ho saw how ranchinonotony and weariness there was, nmf thence how drunkenness aroso with all its train' of rain. Then ho appealed to-the Bigwig family, and said, “Wo are a laboring people, and I have a-glimmcr-ing suspicion that in me that labor irig jjeoplo of whatever condition were made —by'a higher intelligence than yours, as X poorly understand it—to be in need of mental refreshment and recreation. See what we fall into, when wo rest without it.. -Como! Amuse me, harmlessly, show me something, give me an.escapcl” But hero the Bigwig family fell-into a slateof uproar absolutely dpafening.— r When some few ivoices were faintly he ird, proposing to show him the wonders of the world, the greatness of creation, the mighty, changes nf time, the workings of nature ’ mid the 1 -beauties of art—tp show him thpse things, that ’ is to say, soy period oC his life when he could look upon them—there arose among the Bigwigs sucb roarhig and- raving, snch pnlpitiag and peti tio pi ng, f such maundering and memorialising, j such, name-call mg and dirt*throwing, snch-ashrill wind of parliamentary questioning and feeble replying —where "Idaro nof’ waited on “I would”—that jtbe; poor i fellow ; stood' sghist; storing wildly aronjad.; •: jf "Have I provoked;' all this,** said he, with his boride tjo his alpighlcd cart;/‘by what; meant; .ijn re* quest, ex T perieneci,- ppi of all men r don't imderaland/ and l am'- riot nrinsi* stood. : -What isio.Vomiopf auch'thiugs?” ' ' He was ibendirig; over his; work/often asking himself question,' when- the nows began to spread that a pestilence had appeared among the laborers, and was slaying them by'thousands. Going forth to look about him, he soon found tliifl to he true. The dying and tho dead were mingled in the close and ' tainted houses among which his life was; passed. New poison was distilled into the always murky, always sickening air. The robust and tho > weak, old ago and infancy, the father and the mother, all were stricken- down alike.

Ho lived in a busy place, and ho worked very; hard toitve. llq had no hopo of m*cr being rich enough to live a month * without hard work, but ho was quite content, God knows 1 , to labor with a cheerful will.

Anecdote for* Farmers,

We have seldom read anything more sensible or apropos than the following remarks and anecdotes ■ from the Maine j Farmer, illustrating the importance of tbo proper caro of stock: ‘

Say what we will of the tyranical character pf the Russian Government* it would ho folly to nnderrate their capabilities, and the facilities which they enjoy finder their present commercial system. A prominent English print hat put- forward a striking view of the altered condition which the great Autocracy would present were the Czar once in possession of Constantinople. 1 ’A first-rate power, both by sea and’ land, all Europe would rapidly bo brought under his away, and ■ perhaps the. olden dream of. the race, a relic of the times when their rulers aspired for nothing less than a-conquest of the world, Vight again become the hobby of an ambitions Czar, - The Unanimity of. feeling which inspires the present family on snch Subjects forbodes the wont of consequences'should the further , encroachments of that gigantic power not be stayed. Of all the disputants mtho-present state of affairs. Great Britain probably profits the least by the alliance-sh* has formed; and the extreme brittleness' of the chain which hinds her to Prance/ is shown by the recent movement of the Emperor to exhaust the Bank.Iof England, other .specie.— 'With regard lip the chief command of the English forces in the Crimea, .we have so many'rnmors, that no one can-: tell which is the true one. There is now another, that Bimpsoh has resigned his command to Geo. Eyre, hot that*tho Govern 1 ment had refused to accept,

Wo may send to England for Durham cows, or to Spam and Germany for tho choicest sheep; we may search tho world oyer for cattio that please the eye; but unless they fcceivetho best care and liberal feeding, they' will most assuredly deteriorate, and become os : worthless and unworthy of propagation as any of the skeleton bided s that haunt onr rich hot neglected pasture lands. Wo remember an anecdote in point, and will rclatQ it by way of illnstration. 'A' former having.pnrchased a cow from a country abounding in tbo richest pasturage, upon i taking her' to bis own inferior pastures, fonnd that she fell short of tho yield which he was informed nho wns accustomed to give.' Ho complained to the-gentleman of whom ho purchased, that the cow was not the one ho bargained for; Or, in other words, that she was not what she "was cracked up .to be.”

;Tbere was so much reason.m what he said/that the Bigwigiamily, getting wind of it, and being Horribly frightened by the late desolation; resolved to unite with hiin lo‘ do the things that were all events, so far as the said things were associated with the direct prevention, huraanly,8pcaking,ofanother pestilence.— But, as thelr fearworeoff, wbidi it soph began to do, they;’resumed their falling out among- themselves, and did nothing.
