But, while I watch with a very jean ms eye all rigid* and customs which entrench upon the pro per rights of boys, I am equally apprehen sive lest parents who are not forgetful, and who have not habbuated themselves to close observation upon this subject, per mit their sous iudulgeiicies which are al n.usT certain to result ii> their demoraliza tion if not iu their total ruin; and among ihe. habits wiiicli I have observed tending most surely to ruin, I know of none more prominent than that of parents “permit ting i tin ir sons to be in the streets after night fall.. ‘ It is ruinous to their morals in all instan ces. They acquire, under tiie cover of night, an unhealthy state of mind—had, vulgar, immoral, and profane language, obscene pr.tciices, criminal sentiments, a lawless aud riotous bearing. Indeed, it is in the street after night-fall that the boys j principally acquire th education of ilie bad, and capacity for becoming rowdy, dissolute, criminal men.’ Parents should in this | articular, have a ltgid and indexi ble rule, that w it! not permit a sou, under any circumstances whatever, to go into the streets ‘after night-fall with a view of engaging in out-of-door spotts, or meet other bys for social chance occupation. A right rule of this kind, in variably ad her- j ed to will soon deaden the desire for such ! dangerous practices. Bovs should be-taught to have pJeas mes around the family centos tabic, iu leading, in eons-. Ration and quiet amuse ments. Boys are seen in the street after night-fall, behaving in a manner entirely destructive es ail “oou morals.

This off ox, behind, is a real Baptist, for he is all the time after water, and will not eat j with tiie others, but is constantly’ looking I first one side and then on the other, and at everything that comes near him. The otter which I call Methodist, makes a great noise and a great to do, and you would think that he was pulling all creation, but ho don’t pull a pound.” The. minister having his curiosity grati fied villi the explanation, rode on wonder ing what he should next see aud hear in 1 t-xas. This is no dream, but a fact as we have heard it; nor are we influenced by dyspeptic feelings, telling our readers the ecclesiastical relation of Texas oxen.— True Witness. Au Alabansa i’oliiicai Auectiose The Mobile Tribune relates the follow ing “good un Some years ago, at a time wlieu there was a triangular contest in progress be tween (be Whigs, Old Democrts, and “Fire-eaters,” it was announced tbatjtlie John Morisett, of linn™, Wostld ad dress i!,( people of that county in behalf of the Wings. Chancellor Lesscsne was sent up from Mobile, to meet bun, as repre sentative. of Southern Rights patty. The Chancellor wora straps to his pantaloons (then not a prevalent fashion in Monroe.) and having a habit of putting his hands behind him. when speaking, and lifting the skirts of his coat, he displayed a large, new brass buckle, that fastene i his waist hand. Mr. Morsett, replying, remarked, in his own peculiar aud inimitable vein, that Ihe people ol Monroe did not “need to receive political instruction from Mobile—least of all from a gentleman who wore gallowses under his boots and a breastpin on the seat of his breeches. An English gentleman was secently walking under the arcades of the Rue tie Ilivnli, in Paris, holding in his hand a gold headed cane of splendid workmanship. A man supported by two crutches came up, and asked for alms in a pitiful tone. The gentleman, moved to pity, gave the lie'gger a small silver coin. At the same moment a person near hitn suddenly ex claimed, “How can you, sir, allow this rogue to deceive y. u ? Please to lend me your cane, and I will show you >that the rascal runs better than 1 can.” The Eng lishman, taking uawates, without reflect ing lent Ins cane ; the begga.i, the moment he perceived it in his detractor’s hand, • brow away his crutches and took to Lis heels as if his satanic majesty in person uas running after him, and was followed by the man with the cane, whilst the spec tators and the Englishman particularly, re mained i.i convulsion ot laughter at the sight, and exclaiming alternately. “O. lie will he caught!”—“No. he will not be caught!”—But both the racing heroes dis appeared at the next opening in the street, and the good Englishman remained wait-j ing for his splendid cane, which cost five | hundred francs. Florence Nightengale says : The effect of music upon the sick lias been scarcely at nil noticed. In feet, its expensiveness. as it is now, makes any general application of it out of the question. I will only re mark here, that wind instruments, inclu ding the human voice, and s'ringed instru ments capable of continuous sound, itave generally a beneficial effect—while the piano lbrte, with such instruments as have no continuity of sound have just tiie re verse. The finest piano forte playing will j damage the sick, nbile an air like “Home ‘ Sweet Home,” or “Assisa pie d'uti Sultee,’ ! „n the most, os’d'nary grinding organ, will! sensinly sdC 1 ’ them-und this quite hid* j pendesit of association. x ‘ How vastly inncli more might he achiev- j ed for the progress of truth, if turn would 1 cal! the good, instead of spending their ‘ precious hours in grumbling over the had.
