From tho American Messenger.
‘Speak Easy, Father.’
Charles ran to his father^
was bnsily employed m a vexa
tious piece of work, and without
thinking of the pressure on his
father’s mind, asked him what he
was doing. The father, more
thoughtlessly, with a loud voice
which had a tone of passion, re
plied, *Ko matter I go away, my -sonV
Charles recoiled from the cicited
parent, and with faltering accents
said, ‘Speak easy, father}’ and left,
his lather vith a tear in his eye.
How often is this, rebuke needed
in the domestic circle, whefe emy
phatically, ‘a soft answer turneth
away wrath, bdt grievous words
stir up anger.’
Not unfrequently are parents
mortified and sorrowful because
passionate worJs and deeds are
displayed by children, and even, in
maturer life, bring them to the dis
grace of the public criminal, When
this developemcnt of depravity was
only the fruit of seeds sown in
young hearts by ‘grievous words.’
‘Speak easy, lather,’ and mother
also,- and children too ; for your
tones of voice shall blend with the
music of a sanctified soul,. or the
discord ol a heart unstrung for
ever. P. C. U. :
A Friendly Spirit.—An ad
dress to the citizens of the United

styled the King of Algiers. The
event was the cause of much out

in England. The city of Paris has
presented a magnificent silver cra

Testimony of tHe Bench.—
The Becorder of Hull, England,
said, ‘To the best of my belief* no
temperance man ever stood at the
bar to receive judgment from this
sear, in my time, at least; while
I tremble to express my belief that
seven out of ten who have done so,

Tiie Koh-i-noor Diamond.—
There is a strange superstition in
India that tlie famous Koh-i-noor
diamond now in possession of
Queen Victoria,- entails ruin and
destruction on every dynasty that
possesses it.- This is its history as
far back as it can be traced ; but it
has been because all of its posses
sors have been men of violence
and crime, who ruled lawlessly and
plundered ruthlessly, and their
plundered wealth turned to curses
and not to blessings.
^ t was luumr-

Professor Ehrenberg being con

from all the stations along the dif

specie had passed, and by means of
his microscope identified the station
from which the interpolated sand
must hatm been taken.- The sta

The War.—The Richmond En

the European war:
To sun up results; Sardinia, af
ter ex hanging its credit, is dismiss

Empire in Europe is overthrown,
and Turkey has become the prey
of its protectors; Great Britain has
been outwitted in the cabinet, dis
honored in the field, and degraded
from its proud position among the
nations of Europe; France has mo
nopolized all the material advanta
ges and military glory of the war,
and is now indisputably the fore
most Power of the earth; Russia
is just what it was before, not di
minished in its resources, nor dis
paraged in character, nor curbed

Tiie cause of Poverty and
Grime.—Of 2,391 inmates of the
Baltimore Almshouse for 1855, 1-
434, or more than three-fifths, were
either intemperate or the children
r of intemperate parents. Of _ 410
convicts in tlie Penitentiary, 279,.or
two-thirds, were reported as intem
perate or moderate drinkers; and
of 19 children in the House of Re
fuge, 10 had one or more parents
intemperate, and 11 are reported as
having drank ardent spirits, most
of them to intoxication.
PoilK-TRADK OF THE WEST.—
During the winter of 1S55-0 the
number of hogs packed in Ohio,
lllinoise, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Missouri, Indiana, Wisconsin, and
Iowa was 2,430,887, being au iu-
increasc of 342,845 over the previ
ous season; the average increase
of weight over the last year was 11
per cent. Tlie number of ^ hogs
shipped to tlie east was 491,212—
Leing au increase of 1-34,46i -over
the last year. *
—The New Jersey Geological Re

Bay shore in Cape May the marsh
Wears away at the rate of a rod in

upon the coast is mentioned a*
having moved inward one hundred

It is also the opinion of the oldest
observers that the tide rises higher
upon the eastern New Jersey up
lands than formerly.
The Internal Fire Theory.—It is
stated, in the Bibliotheca Sacra that
Professor Guyor, of Cambridge, in
tends to publish an exposition of
the creation of the Universe upon
the basis of the nebular hypothesis,
embracing the internal fire theory
as one that can be sustained. It is not
contended that the evidence in fa*
vor of the centre of the earth being
a mass of fire is of a positive nature,
as in that case the reasoning would
cease to be hypothetical. But the
evidence for the affirmative'is re
garded as accumulative, and to such
a degree that it has been consid
ered by a vast majority in the
scientific world, almost conclusive.
