"How are you, little Rag Ba?," said one of a group of well dressed boys, to a timid child, with patched clothes, coming towards the school house. The child walked on without lifting his eves. - "I say how are you, Rag Bag," ex- claimed Albert Hale again, as he went towards the bov and caught hold of his shoulders. Whvdon't vou answer me.i n i bov?. You nrp. lonkinor nuite snruce this morninrr for vou, not becoming to your ti- tie ; there," he continued, as he thrust his finger into a thin snot in the child's trow- sers and tore it to his feet "you look bet- ter now." The air rnnrr with the shrmts of the boys as the boy turned sobbing towards his home with his bare leg exposed to the weather. "I guess I have taught the wash wo- man a lesson to keeD her rag-bag out of Brockdale Academy," said Albert, as he returned to his companions. "Didn't he cut a comical figure, though, as he. went blubbering home ?" "Three cheers for Rag Bag!" shouted another boy. An instant after and the air was filled with their cheers. The sounds in the dis- tance went like a dagger to the child's heart. "I shan't go to school anv more, mo- ther, sobbed Walter Brooks, as he en- tered his mother's humble kitchen.' "See what Albert Hale did. iust because the teacher said I was reuinrr ahead of - him : . . : o .... in the anthrnetic, after you set up half the m'rrht In mend mv plnthes.

"Oh, if I was a man now ! But, mo ther, I am going lo start for Boston to morrow, and go to work ; I've been think ing that I'm big enough to take care of myself. A delicate boy of twelve, like your self, Walter, cannot work ; nobody will employ you. Yes they will, for I'll keep going un- til I find sumebody who wants a boy. I'm going first, to see Mr. Brown, the man who visited our school and praised me so, and I'm going to tell him just how the scholars treated me, and perhaps he will hire me to take care of his office. Then mother I'll read his.books, and be a law yer, and get rich, and build a big house for you. Only think of it mother !" And the child s eyes sparkled with delight at the idea. .

The day following, a young gentleman, a stranger, entered the store, and inquir ed into their liabilities, the atneunt of the stock they had on hand, &c. stating that he had some money ne woum mvvsi uu good security, if he could accommodate them by doing it. Mr. Hale, the head partner ot the firm, opened his eyes in astonishment. "Why, sir," he replied, "we have for weeks tried to raise money on our stock, by offering thousands of dollars of bonds; but money can t be had in mis city, just now at any price, it you couiu relieve us of our present embarrassments, we could return your money in a few weeks with heavy per centage. "I am happy to say," replied the stran- ger, "that I have it in my power to help you. and wiiicneeriuiiy qoso. Mr. iiaie.wnn tears inniseyes,grasp- ed his hand and asked "To whom am I indebted for this kind ness?' "Don't;; you know me?" asked the stranger, as he fixed his eyes upon him.

A Kentucky paper says that a negro TT I .1 . . . j x x woman at iienacrson, in tnai state, re cently gave birth to four children, two boys and two girls : J he two boys are connected at the shnnlders. and frnm the hin to the knee joint of the legs, and the feet of each perfectly free. The girls are joined at the shoulder, with this difference from the boys: that they have but one arm issuing from the junction of their shoul ders. They are joined from the hip down to the foot, the two legs ending in one foot. In regard to the color of the chil dren, nature seems to be quite as eccen trie as in their formation, one of the boys being black and the other as white as the child of a white woman ; and so with the girls. They all seem to be per- fectlv healthy, and the mother is doing I lit V i nnpnmmnn V WPll A word to the Married, I compared notes with one of my friends who expects everything of the universe says Emerson, "and is disappointed when anything is less than the best; and I found ihnt T Korfdn nt tVir nthpr prtrpmP.

How to Preserve a W'onsan. There is nothing in the world we thinlc much of as we do of women. Our that mother is a woman wife, sisters, and of pretty cousins are women; and the daugh- ors ters will be if ( heaven spare them !) they live long enough.

A isorth River i steamer, under full headway, with col- ors flying, is rather a pretty sight rath stirring and imposing ; and we pull up our tired nag to see her pass, and ad mire the swell she cuts. Comparatively, however, the steamer sinks into insignif- icance, or some Other verv dtlCD water, dor. by the side of a well kept, well dressed woman. There is no rubbing it out ; wo men are the ornament, charm, blessing, beauty and bliss of life (men's life we mean or course. ) Any means that can he devised for preserving thern should oe puonciy maae known, lneyareuit ferent from any other kind of fruit.

It IS trom tne impression maae upon these or gans through the skin, that the shiver comes. It is natures quake the alarm Dell at the onset Ot danger. A woman r never snivers irom tne enect or coia up upon her limbs, or hand, or head, but let the cold s nke through her clothing on ner cnest, anaou goes ner teem into a chatter, and the whole organism is in a commotion. One sudden and severe im pression or com upon tne cnest nas siain its tens of thousands. Therefore, while the feet are well looked after, never for get the chest. These points attended to, the natural connections of the dress will supply the ret. and the woman is ready tor the air. JNow let her visit her neig- bors, go shopping, call upon tho poor, and walk for the good of it, for the fun of it. Keep away from the stove or register. Air that is dry or burnt, more or less charged with gasses evolved by the fuel is poison. Go up stairs and make the bed with mittens on. Uy around the house like mad and ventilate the rooms. Don't pent up in a single room with double windows. Fruit will not retain its full form and flavor in air-tight cans ; neither will women. They n?ed air. If the shiver comes on during these opera tions, go directly and put on something more about the chest. Again, do not live in damp rooms. Lijjht fades the carpet, but it fades not the flower. No living animal or vejjeta ble can enjoy health in darkness. Light is also as necessary as air, and a brown tan is far preferable even a3 a matter of beauty, to a. sickly paleness of complex ion. This much in regard to the physical means for preservation. There are mor al mean3 that are important. Every wo man should be married to an excellent man. Marriasre. it is true, brings care and wear, but it is the x'vai that i3 worn that keeps bright, and the watch that lies still and unwound that gets out of order.

Then there s a higher moral power than this one which we speak of soberly and honest'y. try. A boy who commences in such a No one is completely armed against the school as a printing office will, have his incroaching ills of this life, who has in his heart no place for religion. Thp. calmness, the patience, and the joy and hope that are in possession of that wo- man whose heart is right in its highest relation can never fail to preserve and heighten every personal power and charm that she possesses. There ! We have given you the re- m ceipe. some ot it is in sportive form, but it is not the less sober truth. It has in it the cure for many a disease the preventive for more. It might be made 1 1.1 . longer; um wnen we see the presenp- tions universally adopted, it will be time bring forward the remainder. "01c Tirglnny Never Tire." The Wheeling Intelligencer says: We saw yesterday, going up towards the upper ferry, a team of four animals a horse, aponv, a mule and a bull. The horse had the heaves, the pony was blind the mule was lame, and the bull had no provisions for fly time. In the wagon, which was an ordinary one, there iat a white man, a crippled nigger, and a tame skunk, fraily bound with a withe of straw. The while man held the lines, the team held its own: and the nigger held the skunk, and they all moved forward. To mike this worthy cf its place, it is essen tial to say that it is true. There are some recollections of such overpowering vastness, that their objects seem ever near; their size reduces all intermediate events to nothing.
