BV A MAN BORN OUT OP SIUSOS. "Oil ! the sunny, sunny lioiiri nf rhililliood, IIuiv s.ji.n liuw 8(i(in tlit-y pats away." Vcty! There teas a timo when we had children. Tho timo u past, or fast passing. Tho boys are premature mockeries oi men j iho girls, something between :t doll and a stunted woman. Tho schoolmaster is abroad, also tho schoolmistress, besides tutors and governesses. Shortly after tho children aro weaned, they commence educating them. While the brain is yet in a soft, pulpy stato they load it with heavy facts and hard names, to its serious det riment during the remainder of its mundane existence. The ancient Grecian commenced with carrjing a calf upon his back a few hours every day, so that whon tho calf gradually grow into a bullock, ho carried tho bullock wilh as much case as ho had dono tho calf. This is now the education principle. They lay a few leaves of Cyclopxnlia or Encyclo paedia oil a child's tender brain, and keep ad ding thereunto day by day, expecting that when he is a man, lie will carry tho thirty vol umes with perfect case, without considering that in thu attempt they may crush all sap and freshness nut of that brain, rendering it as llat as a pancake, and 'dry as tho remainder of a biscuit.' Now is this wholesome i3 it natural ! Is it fair is it li'iuvuie, that a child should bo cheated out of his childhood, and sonttn learn tho 'use of the globes' before ho has learnt to play at tnarblc3 ! Or is it to be expected that thi3 early forcing and hot-bed system can pro duce as iicalthy planta as if thoy hail been al lowed to grow in tho free air and open sun shiuo ! OSi ! in plaro of sending a child to school three or four years, let him enjoy threo or four years more of healthy ignorance. Curb not its young freedom ; abridge not its first holidays ;cagc not the pretty bird too soon. Change not the free air of heavon fur tho pent up atmosphere of tho 'seminary ;' the gen tle murmur of iho winds for tho dull hum of the prison-house. Wo wcrochildrenourselvcs once. Let us have a fellow feeling for the young rogues. Let kind damo Nature nurso them a few years longer. There will bo few er ricketty limbs and rickcity intellects. And does a child learn nothing because it has not its primmer in its hand. Certainly it docs. Every hour nf its little lifo it is learn ing; it cannot help it. The (lower that blows tho springing grass, tho withered leaf,tho run- nimr water, the birds that lion across its path and tho thousand sights of tho fields and wood, or even the squares or suburbs of a city, cause it to think and to question. Tho wind a.? it ' blows, tho falling lain, tho fleecy snow, tho sharp frost miking firm tho unstable water, tho j thunder peal, tho sun that shines uy nay, anu tho moon that steals iniotnu na-Ksny uy nigm, all and each arouse Us infantile wonder and young curiosity. Let it then havo n few years of pleasant natural education before it com mences its painful artificial one. Let it, as St. rauisays, wnen his a cuiiu, - iiiiuiv us a child, and act as n child," and in duo and proper season, no doubt of it, it will "put away childish things." It makes one sad to see a lino little fellow sent to sttiJy Euclid at the ago ho should bo reading Hobi.tson Crusoe ; and equally does a man good to sco such a one enjoying his young existence in an appropriate manner. Few there are who cannot enter into the feoling so finely given in the very beautiful linos ef an Amcricun poet, commencing "There' something in a noblo boy, A brave, frco-hoartod, careless one, With his unchecked, unbidden joy, Hi- dtcid of books and love uf fun, And in his cloar and ready smile, Unshadod by a thought of guile, And unreprcssod by sadness Which brings mo to my childhood back, As if I trod its very track, And felt its very gladnoss." Then lot tho children have their play out. iVcve York Mirror. JIoosiiieu HvrEBBoLE. Stranger, I expect you aro about tho tallest kind of coon there is in those digcins.

Tho Au gusta correspondent of the Portland Advertis er, in his account of the proceedings of tho Maino legislature, gives tho following narra tive of a part of otic day's doings ; 1 he House camo together tins altcrnonn, March 11, anil worked awhile and, between three anil four o'clock' adjourned for an hour, for tho nurimso of receiving their share of tho great cheese presented to tho Governor by I Mr3 Thomas Langlcy. Tho cliceso was cut I into quaiter pound slices, and ready for dchv- cry in the antc-cnaniucr ot tno uovernor a room. Tho mcsscugct of tho Governor and Council was on the spot, and delivered to each member his slice, as no called upon him for it. Mr Otis, of Hallowcll, sent up a barrel ol "hard cider," which was placed in iho rotun da of tho Capitol, and drawn out into pails and pitchers, anil carried up into .the south lobby as it was wanted. Sotr.o one had previously bespoken some brown bread, which was bro't forward, and all hands partook of a sumptuous repast of "hard cider," brown broad and cheese. The occasion furnished to tho mem bers much sport and merriment. Such a scene was novpr before witnessed in tho Capitol. All hearts were cngagod, and bent on having a "feast of checso and flow of cider." And this they had with a witness. Tho ante-chamber, loublc3 and gang-ways wcro -crowded "ith one solid mass of human beings, eating bread and cheese, drinking cider, talking and laughing. Every now and then you might hear Hurra for the "Hero of Tippecanoe!" i Three cheers for Harrison ! Hero's to tho "log cabin candidate!" All was life and ani mation. After eating up the mammoth cheese, some large loaves of brown bread, and drinking a barrel of hard cider, the Houso camo to order again, and proceeded to business. Now is the Time to take up your Fruit Tries. So say tho nutscrymen, and so says ovcry one that understands the subject. Trees that arc to be transplanted in tho spring should be lifted before vegetation commences, that it may not bo checked in the removal.

M.inniAOE BETWEEN MoTIICIt ANO SoN. TIlO following extraordinary story is related by tho Paris Messenger: About twenty years ago, a girl in one uf the departments, although not fifteen years of ago, was delivered of a male child, which she placed in tho Foundling hos pital of the placo, after having first undo an indelible mark on its arm. Sho then came to Paris, and entered into service. Having, af ter some years, accumulated about lOOOf. her thoughts wore turned towards her child, but, when she inquired for him, ho had left tho hos pital, and no tidings could bo obtained of him. A young soldier, attracted, probably, by her little fortune, roccnlly paid his addrsssc.s to her, and a fow days ago thoy wcro married. On retiring to tho nuptial chamber, s!io discov ered on the arm of her husband tho nnrk which sho had mado upon the arm of her child twenty ycara ago. The discovery led to an immediate do facto divorce, and a demand of nullity nfmarii.age between mother and son has been presented lo the tribunals.
