Nettle and Her Ducks. A Story for tlio Children. Children, are yon happy and content* ed in the lot in which God has placed you ? If you are not, road this story carefully, and think well when you have finished rending it. Nuttio Guy lived in a ploasnnt coun try Immo, with her mother uud father; they had a beautiful yard full of nice trees, a pretty garden, where Nettie's tlowura grew, with many others, and a great many delightful walks, around their dwelling, whore she and her pa rents would wander nt pleasure, and spend the timo most happily gathering fruit, or flowers, gazing on beautiful views, and talking about the lovely and useful things God has made for man ; for Nettie was taught of her Heavenly Father's works, and her gracious Sa viour’s life on earth, and his painful death for Sinners, ns soon ns sho could understand. Sometimes Nettie thought she " loved Jesus very much, and would give her heart to Idm at once,'' and then nguln she would bu ho taken up with her plnv or plans, she would forget till about her resolution. Hut Nottio had ono fault which kept her front being a happy little girl or n Christian. Shu was not contented, hIio could not understand that Bible verse, whatsoever things yo possess, there with to he content, but was over either (Jiasatlsfled with her surroundings or reaching out for some new thing hard to attain; if she wanted a bnhy-h use, as soon as sho got that, she longed for a box of paintf, and very soon that was tired of, and she wanted a Kronen ton set, and so on from dny to day. Nettie hna her wishes gratified much more lliun most little girls, for shu wan uu on ly child, and of course her parents were mure able to devote timo and expense to her pleasure than if they had many children to attend to; but a discontent ed child Is never happy, and often after obtaining some long wished for pleasure, sho wmild come to tier mother in the most disconsolate manner, end tell hci I don’t know what to do with myself." Ah I Nettie, did not know tlio cheer fulness which spring* Irom n heart fuil of the love ol Jesus, which makes a child forget Hulf, uud instead ol 11 not knowing what to do with herself," she will be pressed for timo to accomplish all which her loving Lemt prompts for the good of others. Her mother could not devote her whole liino to Nettle's instruction and umusement; she could notliuvc other children ulwiiys with her; ao, to keep her mind omployed, she S ave her a very pretty brood of young ouks to attend to uud raise for her own, " ten beautiful little s|K»Ued ducks,” very busy they kept Nettie; she gave cadi one u name, site fed them and sup plied them with water, and put them carefully iu their coop at night to keep anything from aatahing them. The ducks were a ooiistant source of pleas ure to her, though I four that her devo tion to her pets prevented the lessons from being as well fluid, or the sewing us neatly done usual. Groat was Nettie’s delight tino morn ing when she was taken into her moth- era room, und there was shown a deni litllu " brother,” whom God had sent her; she almost danced for joy, slm wont all ovqr the house to inform the (uinily that she " bad a brother," anti spent ucnrly a whole dny from hur "dur- ling ducks,” watching tho funny litllo pink fellow, while he slept, uud lulling her mother ull she was going to do fo. “l'rauk " when he was big unough— und wa« so absorbed with her new de light, she had to bo reminded of her charge—the duuks; the baby was ul ways loremo*t iu her thoughts. But I um sorry to sny that Nettie still cherish ed her discontent, und louged for now sueuca uud exuitemenls, and us Mrs. Guy had to duvote much time to Frank, she was grieved and shoukod to find, when she resumed her charge of Nettie, that she had become eoli-willud, petu lant and disobedient; and many were tho unhappy hours both mother und child spent in consequence of these faults. Children little know the pain it gives their purenta to see evil tempers und disirtMiliots growing in their chil dren which they have to correct. Meanwhile the ducks and " Frankie ” solved to commence lifo anew, in a lit-1 tie log cabin, wliiuh, situated on n high er part of Iho farm, had esennpd da struetion. Mrs. Guy’s parents wtlro not able to give them any groat assistance, so to their humble home they removotl os soon as possible in order to boootno used to their now situation before winter sot in. Nettie’s ducks had fortunately es caped tho general destruction, as In-foro sho loft home sho had removed them to thecuhin " for old Aunt Hunnah’’ to cure for during her absence, mul when they droVfl up to their humble tenement, they were tho first to greet their little mist rocs, who shed ninny childish tears as she gathered them around her, and thought of all tho beautiful thing* sin- hud lost. “ Bweet nro tlio uses of mi versity,” or, in better words, “ it is good for us to bo afflicted." From the time they moved to their cabin homo, and Nuttio saw how Imrd her father and mo ther had to work, mid deny themselves, flhti became awake to the fact that she (lid not come into this world just to he waited on und enjoy new amusements overy day; sho could not help feeling deep gratitude to the kind Providence which, us tier parents hud told her, hud flo merellully prompted the vwlt which had saved their liven; und young ns site wus, shu determined to live a diflerunt life. No words can express tho pleas, uro it gave her pm eats to sue Nettie, her peevish ways laid aside, moving about tho cabin, helping the mother, hushing Frank to oloup, und performing n thousand little offices, uheerfully and unasked. And for the first timo for soverul years Nettie wus truly happy—■ sho hud lenriiod that unselfish act* brought a sunbeam with them, and the lovu of Jesus cun make the poor child n Hch one. Thu winter came on, the cabin was Very cold, Mrs. Gray worked up trhai few tliiul; clothes they had It-l'l hem the fi'cshet into warm dresses lbr Nettie, but Frankie, crawling about on tlio floor, suffered from want of sufficient clothing. " Mamma," said Nettie, “ plwaso make baby some thick dresses, the poor little idlow looks blue from cold, und I four these thin dreseus will cutuh on fire; 1 heard you say they wore dangerous." Mrs. Guy sighed. “He will have to make out with them," unswured she, " it would take bovoii or eight dolluts to supply him with a sutficient change of drcMtcH, and Vottr father hus not u cent in thu world." Nuttio did not answer; she thought deeply a few minutes, she then wont out tu old Aunt Haiinnli, and returned with a placid luce. The next morning early tliore was n great quacking among the ducks, and Mrs. Guy observed (but Nettie did not go to leed them us usual, and situ moved ubout in u quick excited manner with flushed cheeks, and now und then Mrs.*Guy detected u tuur which will quickly wiped Iruiu Nellie's eye. As soon ns tho breakfast tilings were washed and Nettiu’a morning duty fin ished, she entno to hor mother, her litllu hand tightly closed on something which she luidin tior mother's palm. "What i« this. Nettie, it looks like money ?’ It is, Mamma, the money for my ducks, 1 want you to buy Frank some clothes with it. John Kelly took the ducks away this morning," and ns Not. tie thought of thu beauties,of " Whitic and Spot,” and all the < ggs sho had Imped to sell, and raise other litt e duck lings from, and tlio money for Ini little mii-siotiuiy box, eho almost let a tear come, for sho was a child. “ My darling," said her mother, “ 1 feel nil yocr self denial and accept your gift, feeling it will bring its ow n rewurd," her tearful orei and tender ki.-a filled Nottio's heart with joy; and when those dreason were purchased and Frunk tod dled around in them, a proud and hop- py ai*tor was Nettie, and tlio ducks wpro not at all missed. And now tell me, children, would yon rather he Net tie poor and happy, or Nettie rich and discontented 7 And although Mr. Guy, by industry and perseverance, attained his former prosperity, Nettio nevor again lost Lor cheerful, happy spirit, bo- cauao sho lovod Jesus and devoted her life to bis service. H. It< i)iih ing nil Angel. Tho Church of St. Peter and 8t. Paul is remark hie for its spire, tlio loftiest of St. Petersburg An anecdote connected wrkh tho church, not known, I believe, out of ltussin, is too remarkable to he nmmited. Tho spire which rises ‘lofty and light’ and small, and rooms fading away almost into a point in tlio sky, is, in reality, terminated by a globe of con siderable dimensions, on wniuh an nngol stands, supporting n largo cross. This angel, loss vespevted by tho weather limn perhaps his clinructcr deserved, fell into despair, and some auspicious tvero enterturned that he designed rcv:* : - ting, uninvited, the surface ot the earth Tho affair caused some uneasiness, und tho government at length became grout- ly perplexed. To mice a scuflolding to such a height would coat more than nil the angels out of heaven wore worth—- und in meditating fruitlessly on those circumstances without being able to resolve how to act, a considerable time wns allowed to ellipse. Among the crowd of gazers below who daily turned their eyes and thoughts towards the nncelj was u mljik called Tulouchkino. Tins innn wns a roofer of houses (w slater ho would bo called in countries wliero slntos wcio used) and his speculations hy degrees assumed a more practical character than the great wonders and conjee loros of the rent of the crowd. Tlio spire was entirely covered with about* of gilded copper, and presented a surface to the eye os smooth ns if it had Inn-n one mass of burnishod gold. But Telonchkino know that tlio sheets of copper were not even uniformly closed apmi onch other; and, above nil, that there were largo nails used to fasten them which projected from the Hide nflhoHpire. Having med itated upon these circumstances till his mind wns made up, the mijik went to the government and offered to repuir the angel, without scaffolding or o-histance, oil condition of being well paid for the lime expended In tho labor. Tlio offer wus accepted; for it waa made in Hus- siu, and by n KusHan. On tho day fixed for tho ndventure, Tuhmchkiuo, provided hy nothing more than a coil of ropes, ascended the spiro in the interior to the Inst window. He looked down at the concourso of people below, and up ut tho glittoring needle as it is called, tuperiug fur above his head, But his heart did not fuil him and stepping out gruvoly upon the win dow, ho sat about Lis task. lie cut i portion of the cord iu Iho form of two I irgo st mips, with n loop at each and. Tho upper loops ho fusioned to two of tho projecting nails above his bond, and placed his foot in thu otliors. Then dig ging the fingers of one hand in'o thu in terstices of tlio sheets of copper, he raised up one of thu stiirups with the oilier hand so as to make it catch a nail higher up. Tlio same operation he per formed on behalf of the otlie leg, and so alternately, And thus ho climcd, nail by nail, slop hy step, and stirrup by stirrup, until his starting post wus an- distinguishable from iho golden surface, and the spire had dwindled ill his em brace, till lie could clasp it oil round. So for so well. But ho now reached the hall—a globe of between nine and ten fi-ut In circumference. The angel, the object of the visit, was above this hull, and concealed from his view by its smooth, round and glittering expanse. Only fancy the wretch at that moment turning up his gravo eyes olid graver heard to an obstacle thut seemed to do- fy the daring end ingenuity of man.— But Talcuokine was not dismayed.— He wns prepared for tho difiuuity; and the means by which he essayed to sur mount il, exhibited tho same prodigious simplicity os tlio rest of the feat. Suspending himself in his stirrups, ho girden the needle with a cord, tho ends of which ho fastened around Ids waist, ami, snppoi tod, lie loaned gradually back till the Holes of his feet were planted *•- he <EI)t £utl)bert RATES OF ADVERTISING t Women of the Pacific, Tho women of the Pnoifio islands are I escribed ns 'handsome, with a lazy, har monious kind of benuty, and they have lelientuly formed hands and feet.’ Tho Queen of Honiiiign came on board ouirt | ship, says a correspondent, and impress ed us very favorably, for n savage. Sho ^vore a sheet of wliito tnpn, or native doth, which, lenving hor right arm buro- wns cast over her shoulder, and com pletely covered her form to the ankles. Her huir, raided entirely up round hor head, was folded on ono side into a kind of a pinnacle, which was swathed in a roll of overy fine tupn-liko muslin. Her ears were perforated, and ornamental with curiously out bones or ivory; and around li. r neck wero somo strings of scented nuts and wreaths of llowors.— ‘ The uaked arm wns tattooed elaborate* ly, from fmger-ends to nenr the shoul ders, with u deep blue tinge, which was not unbecoming; and her feet und am kies seemed to bo covered with beauti fully worked bloc stockings; while WuK lines weretruood vertically on the lips, und an ornamented scroll decorated thu ears. This dainty savage Queen was ut'omlud by a bevy of damsels quite ns picturesque as herself, ami more beauti ful, who wero attired in Court costume. The women of theso islands delight iu bathing nud swimming, tumbling about for hours in tho warm, bright waves, and then wush'mg rfl' the sen water, which they consider injurious to their skin, in the crystal-clear basins hy tho numer ous cuscadoH. The islands and the loiinuts remind ono of a landscape of Ca lypso's Isle. Nature is luvisli of hor purest and simplest productions, and art fends her next to no aid. Tho bread fruit and the cocounut aro among the most precious and plentiful of her gifts. The King’s tuble, to wliiuh I wus bid den, wus spread most dimply. A broad banana leaf served for the table cloth * roasted bread fruit, like u large white louf, nmokiug hot, and delicious fish oall ed ’bouitu,’ cooked in leaves, formed the staple or tho feast. The desert con sisted of hnnnna, fuyecs, and roasted taros, nnd tho beverage was tho cool ami delicious milk from the young green cocounut.

Is an inexcusable brutality; may a child has been mads dc-of for life by it, because the 'drum of tho ear' is a mem brane, ss thin a* paper, stretches like h curtain just iusido tue external eotersnue of the car, there ia nothing but air junt behind it, und sny violent cunousion is liable to reud it in two, and the 'hearing' i* destroyed forever, because theaenso of hearing is caused by the vibrations of this drum or Tympanum.

Occa sionally wax may harden and may inter fere with the hearing, but when this is the cose, it is tho part of wisdom to con sult a physician und let him decide what is the matter and wliut the remedy. If one cannot be had, thu only safe plan is to let fall into tho ear three or four drops of tepid water, night and morning. The salivn is better still, for it in Hotter and more penetrating, but glycerine is fur preferable to cither: it very rapidly penetrates tho hardened wux, cools the parts and restores them to a houthfuL condition.
