There wa anollfef thing that Mr. Win throp could not sec, that Samuel was ponder ing upon such profitable matter wss Interes ting to him, and that, he- was scarcely ever idle; nor did Ir.s father see, either, that if he ever wished his boy to become a mathemati cian, he was pursuing the very course to pre vent such a result. Instead of endeavoring to make the study interesting to the child, he was making it obnoxious. , The dinner hour came and Samuel had not worked out the sum. His father was an gry and obliged ' the boy to go without his dinner, at the same'lime telling him that he was in idle lazy child.' i . Poor Samuel left .the, kitchen and went up to his chamber, and there he sat and cried. At length his mind seemed to pass from the wrong he had suffered at the hand of his par ent, and took another turn, and the gr'ref ma ka left his face. .There was a large fire in the room below his chamber, so that he was not very cold; and getting up, he went to a small closet, and from beneath a lot of old clalhes he dragged forth, some long strips of wood, and commenced whittling, it was not for mere pastime that he whittled, for he was fashioning some curious affair from these pie ces of wood. ' H had hits of wire, ' little scraps of tin plate, pieces of twine, and doz ens of small' wheels, that he made . himself, and he seemed to be workWg to get. them to; gether after tome peculiar fashion of his own. , ' -I .. . Half the after n ion had thus "passed away, when his sister entered his cfiamber..

He kissed her as he took the, cakes, and thanked her. ' ' ' ; 'Oh,-what a pretty thing that is you are muking'' uttered Fanny, as she gazed upon the result o' ber brother's labors. "Won't you give it to me af er it is done!"' '' -.."Not this one, sister,' returned the boy, with, a ' eaillei "but as soon, as get time I will make you ono equally as pretty." '. ' .. . . Fannv thanked lief brother, and shortly af- terwards left the room, and the boy resumed his wcrk...

' 'Ha, wliat is this!' said Mr. Winthrop, as he caught sight of the curious construction on the floor. , 'This Is the secret of your idle ness. ' Now I see how it is that you cannot master your studies You spend yeur time in making playhouses and fly-pens. .; I'll tee whether you'll learn to attend to your lesson or not. There.." :. ', ' As the lather uttered that common injunc tion, he placed his foot upon the e'ojjct of his displeasure. -'.The boy uttered a quick cry, and sprang forward, but loo late. - The curi ous construction -waa crushed to atoms the labor of long week. Looking upon 'tha mat of ruins, and then covering his ' face with his hand he burst into tears. Ain't you ashamed!' eaid Mr. Winthrop, "a great boy likeyau to spend your time on such clap-traps, and then cry about, it', be csuse I choose that . you attend to your stu dies. Now go out to the barn and help Jerry shell torn."

' ' He found Mr. Young all he could wish, and went Into his business with an assiduity that surprised his msster. One, evening, after Sumuel Winthrop had been with his new master six menths, the latter came into the shop after all the journeymen had quit work and found the youth, busily engaged io filing fpieca ef iron. There was quite a number of piece lying on the bench by his side, and same were curiously riveted together and nx 44itH spring and slide. ' hileitbera1.aj peared no yet ready lor their destined use. Mr. Y. ascertained what the young workman wa up to, and he not only encouraged him in his undei taking, but he stood for half aa hour and watched hint at his work. Next day Samuel Winthrop was removed from the blacksmith's shop to the mschine shop. Samuel often visited his parents. At the end of two years his father wss not a little surprised when Mr. Young informed him that Samuel was the most useful hand in his em- pi"?. . . . , ". Time flew fast. Samuel Wa twenty-one, Jeremiah had been free almost two yean, and he was one af the most accurate and trustworthy surveyors in the county. . Mr. Win.hrop looked upon hia eldest son with pride, ti oftet expressed i wishthat his other son. could have been like him. Sam uel had come home to visit his. parents, and Mr. Young had came with him. . ' , "Mr. Youne," eaid Mr. Winthrop, after the tea things htd been cierred sway, "that is a-fine factory they have erected in your town." ' . ' j. ' Yes," returned' Mr. Young, "there are three of them, and they are doing heavy bus iness." .. '" "1 understand they have an extensive ma chine shop connected with the factories. Now if my boy Sam i aa good a workman a you soy he is, perhaps be might get a first rats situation there.". i ' '' Mr, Young looked ot Samuel a'nd smiled. By the way," continued the oid farmer,, "what is all this noise I hear and see in the newspapers about those . pateut Wiotlirop looms! They tell me they go ahead of any '.bins that was ever got up before." ... , "You must ask- your son about that," re turned Mr. Young. "That's some or Ssg ue'a business." - , .!'EW.'.,Wbat, my spnj.

It could not be that his son his idle son was the inven tor of the great power lorn that had taken all the hianuftcturers by surprise. -. "What do you mean!" he at length asked "It is'simply this, father, that this loom is mine," returned Samuel, wih a look of conscious pride. I , have invented it, and have taken a patent right, and have already been offered ten thousand dollars for the pat ent right, in two adjoining Stales. Don't yon remembor that clap-trap you. crushed withyaur foot six years ago!" , , "Yes,?' returned the old. man, whose eyes were bent to the ft jor, nnd over whose mind a new light seemed to be breaking. "Well,' continued Samuel, ''that was al most a pattern of the very loom I have set up in the factories, though of course I have made much improvement, and ,lhere is r ;om for improvement yet." "And ' that was what you were studying when you used to stand and see me weave, and when you used to futible about my loom so muchl' said Mm. Winthrop "You are lighi, mOthir." Even then I had conceived the idea I have since carried out." "And that is why you could not utiderstsnd my mathematical problems," uttered Mr Win throp, as he started from his 'chair and took the youth by the hand. ; '.'Samuel, m y srn, forgive me for the hsrsh ness I used towards rou. I have been blind, and now I see how I . misunderstood y oil. While I have thought you idle and careless yo u were solving a philosophical prablem I could never have comprehended.

Of course tbe old "nan had long befre been forgiven'fer his harshness, and his mind was open to a new lesson in human nature. It wassimplythis: - ' . : .

At the Zanesville convention '-afoay inseftrl hints were thrown out, relative to printing, adver tising, and the general manner o doing bu siness Thi resolutions which were passed embody many good thoughts, and they have been copied far bey old the borders of our own State, It is notorious, that the news paper editors and publishers have lost more by bad debts than those engaged in any oth er profession or calling. . It is important therefore, that the system of cash payments' should be idopted, and strictly carried out as far as practicable, and at the earliest possi ble moment. . A reform like this, if thorough ly carried out,, would be of incalculable ben efit to those whose business extends far out side of their own immediate locality. The pre-pa o or cash system is gaining ground rapidly- No grat reform has ever been suc cessful at first. Time is required; union is necessary i constilutiosvji accessary ; combi nation is necessary) aad wiiht o good as the annual convention to aeco'mplish these ends I Again: the editorial "conventions can be made the mean of doing much good in a so cial way; for we are believer in the social virtues An editor's life is one continuous, never-ending turmoil. If he -Hoes his duty, and i worthy of hi position, he must wage undying war against public malfeasance and official corruition. - His duty is not performed jn less he inculcates the principles of religion and virtue, manly sentiment, honor, integrity, temperance, frugsli'y, and inoe pendeooe, ana in all proper ways diffuse 'knowledge among men.' To do these bold ly and with honest intention, the tusk i not an easy one. The tuitagonlama of these sre selfishness, corruption, meanness, a rd bold unblushing villainy.) If an editor does his duty he may expect to meet" these scowl ing malignant spirit uteicb turn of his road; but he will, ic the end, if true to his high calling, ounquer and stotJfoy-tbom. Such being his'mannerof business,' lie requires, at intervals re'axstion. innocent social plea sures) and what can be more congenial than a day or two spent in e convention With hi fellow laborers in the publio vineyard, to talk over tbe -past, consult over th future, have a good supper or dinner, havo good sentiments,' short apeecnes, witty toasts, conunuruma, good tnd bad, and perhaps a various assort ment of songs, puns, and poetry, We ssy theie is much good in these things. Tbey sweeten life, and they prolong it. Again: who so poor as tho editors, take them asabodj! It Is not because they do not work. No elass of men work harder; none u'ch long hours. Their work is never done; and yet they eeTdom are rich. Their names do Tot appear among the tax payers who pay heavy taxes. They are not troub led with long scheduler or houses snu lots.

The Russian soldier. Iaeks4 r. i I , . . . I strotegy snd quickness of movement, but he. "' H , . , , hi possesses courage almost wrJiaut parallel, a : remarkable strength of body, and great resij- tsnce to the exhausting effects of wounds. It has been a common remark, from the day , of Napoleon to the present moment; that the"1 Russian soldier are the moat difficult soldi- j ers in the world to put hors du combat Mar- ahnl al,v .nirl- -It will nat aulGe la ahoot a I Russian soldier: he must be pushed over.' Remarkable iustances of this power of resis- j tsnce to the loss of blood, and to the first' impression of a wound have been exhibited since the commencement of the campaign in j Crime, and it is no doubt due to the rude ' to which the Russian sofdier is subjected not onlv aa a soldier but ss a peasant." I N.t h aavo of the Frenchman: "While eating ia no part of a aoldier'a life in the Russian camp, in the French camp it. quite the contrary.
