We arc glad that one State lias done something to prevent people from be ing killed for fun. Michigan has passed a law making it a misdemeanor, punishable by fine and imprisonment, lo aim a firearm at any person, whether it be loaded or not, and if harm comes of such an act, the per petrator is responsible criminally and pecu niarily. This is a salutary statute, and should be adopted in every State. Then the joke of aiming guns at people's heads would lose its point. Evergreen Grass.

He carries the Lamb in His Bosom. A sweet golden head had forgotten life's way, Asleep on its pillow of roses, Wee hand3 shutting close as if tired of play, Like buds which the summer discloses ; But the beautiful song of my birdie was still, And over the lips of my blossom, The dimples lay white as the frost on the rill, When a spirit sang low to my spirit at will, "lie carries the lamb in his bosom." There is never a lamb from love's sorrowful fold But wonders in fields that are vernal, And never a bud hid away from the cold But blooms in the summer eternal ; When storms sweep the hills, and the night gathers deep, I think of my Paradise blossom, And hear the same for the weary that weep, "The weakest are safest ; for, over the steep, lie carries the lambs in his bosom."

How many of us so feel, with a sort of longing we never can express. If we could only have the child-faith at all times through life ! For this faith is mar velous. It doubts not. It questions not. It gives clear sunlight to being continually. Itis more worlhful to happiness than any thing beside. Fortunate, indeed, is the child in such a possession. Fortunate were we of the grown-up generation, if such pos session were our own. Very truly says Alexander Raleigh in the Sunday Magazine : Of course a child cannot be said to have an angel's thought. It has not even a man's. Yet in some re spects the child is nearer the spiritual world than man is. It is more than a poetic fancy that "heaven lies about us in our in fancy." Children come out of the kingdom of heaven. They come from God, who Is the center and glory of that kingdom, and all unconsciously, they behave themselves as those who are not yet far from home. They are in the fields nearest the home. By the least hint or suggestion they will look back to the door, and even think it not impossible to go in. They believe what they are told. Words of God, angel visits, ghosts, wonders all are taken literally. They have no difficulty in believing. The difficulty comes, alas ! but too soon. The dream-like glory and freshness of the morning time fade away. The world be comes all materialism. Knowledge lords it over faith. Experiences destroy simplic ity ; and amid the dust ami hurry of secu lar things the wonders of eternity are veil ed and hidden, as the great snow-mountains are often covered with mist and cloud. Then at night often (happily they In whom it is so) comes a clearing time. The true day begins to break at sunset, and the shadows flee away. Then the old child-faith comes back, but in a higher form. Then it is found that matter is the shadow and spirit is the substance. The soul begins to look through, to look high and far, and on the dying beds, and in departing hours, you find again the child-look the angel look on the face of the mortal man who is just putting on immortality. How to Keep a Situation". Lay it down as a foundation rule that you will be "faithful in that which is least." Pick up the loose nails, bits of twine, clean wrapping paper, and put them in their places., lie ready to throw in an odd half hour's time, when it will be an accommodation and don't seem to make a merit ot- it. JJo it heartily. Though not a word be said, be sure your employer will make a note of it. Make yourself indispensible to him, and he will lose many of the opposite kind before he will part with you. Those young men who watch the time to see the very second their working hour is up; who leave, no matter what state the work may be in, at precisely the instant; who culculate the extra amount they can slight their work and yet not get reproved; who are lavish of their emploj'er's goods, will always be first to receive notice when times are dull, and their services are no longer required. Remember you are not a slave. Then serve your employer, as in due time he will be a friend to vou. Charlotte Female Institute. This Institution so Ions and favorably known to the public, is now unoccupied, and the Trustees ad vertise the fact for the purpose of inviting the at tention of those engaged in teaching to the induce ments it offers. Situated at the convergence of five Railroads, in a healthy and growing City, with a population that will compare favorably with any other for religious and moral character, it is unquestionably one of the best opportunities offered in any Southern State for opening and maintaining a Female Boarding School of the highest grade. The Institute building has capacity to accommo date sixty boarders, and is built i line architectural style and arranged with the necessary conveniences for its purpose. The entire building is furnished with gas, and is warmed by a furnace, as well ar ranged for wood fires. NThe necessary cook, wash ing and servant's houses are conveniently located, and in the grounds is a comfortable brick cottage adapted to the accommodation of a small family. The grounds, consisting of about six acres, arc in a high state of cultivation and beautified and adorned by walks, and shrubbery. The buildings and improvements present an im posing appearance and are finely adapted to the use for which they were designed. The city patronage to the school lias for many years numbered from sixty to seventy-five day scholars and the boarding patronage has been liberal. Persons desiring to take charge of and conduct permanently a Female School of the highest order, are invited to correspond with the undersigned. Being determined to have a school of this charac ter, and that the property shall be occupied, if pos sible, so as to open the exercises in October next, the terms will be liberal. JOS. II.

In the year 1831 Mr. John Armstrong residing near Detroit, Alichisran, sent his little daughter Mary, a girl of seven years of ai;e, unattended off to the district school. On the way to school she was kidnapped by the Indians, who at that time were found in large numbers about Detroit. The stricken parents could scarcely be consoled for the loss of the child, but finally gave up all hopes of her recovery. When she was taken by the Indians she was carried off to Texas, and suffered un told hardships and privations at their hands. In Texas she lived five years, and when she reached her twelfth she was compelled to marry an Indian warrior called 4i Vellery." The tribe with which she lived then remov ed to Nebraska, where t welve moons, the length of the Indian's married life, having passed away, she was no longer the wife of Yellery, and was sold to an Irishman nam ed David Ward. David was a Catholic, and was burned at the slake because he re fused to abjure his religion, after which Mary was carried into another tribe, and there, after some 3 ears, married an Indian chief called Bijj Son. 13ig Son soon got tired of his new spouse, and sold her to a Mr. Carman, a pale-face, and with him she lived until a melancholy event occurred, which at once deprived her of her husband and children. Near San Francisco is a place called the Black Hills, which last fall, was the scene of a bloody light between the Digger and Snake Indians. Mrs. Carman at the time was with the Digger Indians, having been sold to them, together with her husband and children, a short time before by the Snake Indians. In the -battle between the Snake and Digger Indians Mrs. Carman's eleven children and husband were killed. She alone escaped, and remained with them a short time until an opportunity 'presented itself, when she lied to San Francisco. From San Francisco, in company with four others, she was sent by Gen. Sheridan as far as St. Joe, Mo., from which place she is now on her journey to Columbus, where her aged father and mother are residing. About ten years ago her father heaid of her being yet alive among the Indians, and immediately commenced a correspondence with parties in the West, to see if he could find any information which would lead to her return to her parents. After long wait ing, the intelligence was conveyed to him that she was found, and would soon be in her home, after forty-one years c f wander ing among the savages. She has made her way from town to town, and a day or two sii.ee leached Kent. Until this tin e slie had worn her Indian costumes, but the Mayor of Kent compelled her to exchange her half-civilized garb for one which accord ed more with Kent tastes. Yesterday she reached Akron and has been soliciting aid to complete her journey. Such, in brief, is her tale. Whether or not she is an im poster, we are unable to tell. Certain it js that she tellsa straightforward story, and the most rigorous questioning could not cause her to change the least por tion of her narrative. She is very intelli gent looking, and answers all questions very Tead!ly and with an appearance of truth and simplicity. When Marshal Par ker told her he had been among the Indians she commenced talking to him in the In dian language, but the Marshal, not wish ing to show his ignorance of the language by inability to reply, ''vamoosed," much to the amusement of the crowd who had gath ered about her. . mm Saved iiy Laucjiiteh. Some persons possess keen perceptions of the ridiculous, but we doubt whether it serves them a bet ter turn than it did in the cure of a certain lady supposed to be dying. Her friends were summoned to her bedside, and the phy sician stood with his finger on her pulse which was becoming almost iinperceptible when some person present, in the agony of the moment, uttered a sound which the lady afterwards described as "a howl com mingled." This so acted upon the risibles of the dying woman as to produce a hyster ical convulsion. lo use her own words she laughed all over and shook with l.iugl. ter without being able to more a muscle of her face." The result was that an im mediate reaction took place. The astonish ed physician found the pulse becoming stronger, and the clammy skin to be cover ed with perspiration. Stimulants were ad ministered, and in due time she fully recov ered. She still lives to relate, in an amus ing manner, her almost miraculous escape from death ; but she feaid the circumstances also impressed her with the extreme caution that should be used in a sick room, where the patient is supposed to be unconscious of what is passing around them, since at no time was she deaf to any expression of grief and concern uttered by her friends, or of the opinions they expressed in regard to her condition ami the prospect of her recov ery. a Decli.yk in Simmeu T K.Wei.. The Xew York Tribune says: "An avenging Nemesis has at last overtaken the watering place hotel keepers. Who that has been a summer traveler is not glad of it? The flight to Europe has been increased by tin exactions, im pertinences and indolent oj prcssions of the baronial clerks and pre -prietors of summer hotels and tavern?. With few notable exceptions, the famous places of summer have fallen into doleful dumps, for reasons above stated. This ad versity, which falls a'ike on the jiit and the unjust, may, by-and-by. bring about a correction of abuses." Why any Southern white man, who has a comlortable place to sleep at home, would go to a Virginia Spring or a North ern watering place in the summer tini'-, we cannot imagine, They eat sjw-ilt fuod and sleep with bed-bugs. Fruit Acid. This recipe came originally from Switzer land. Iiy it you may make drinks of small fruits, especially raspberries, blackberries, stemmed currants and seeded Morel lo cher ries : Dissolve ten ounces of tartaric acid in two quarts of cold water. In a large bowl put twelve quarts of berries, well looked over. Pour over them tho acidulated , water, and let the fruit stand thus undisturbed for forty eight hours. Then have ready a flannel bag, through which let the juice drip with out squeezing. When the bag is well drain ed, measure the juice. To one pint of acid allow one pint of white sugar (coffee sugar, however, No. A will answer as well.) Al low the sugar ami juice to remain together in a large jar until the former is thoroughly dissolved; then bottle. As a slight fermen tation may e nsue, do not cork ai first, but tic the mouths of the bottles up tightly with Swiss muslin or gauze, to stand for several weeks, until the danger is past. In six weeks you may safely bottle you will find that it never spoils. Such acid furnishes a refreshing beverage during the hot months of summer,and would be found grateful to fever patients in any season. It has the advantage ot being ready at a moment's warning, only needing to have your glass or pitcher one-fifth part full of the acid, filling up the remainder with cracked ice and pure water. Glass pitchers or carafes of these innocent cooling bever ages set off a dinner table pleasingly in warm weather, especially as by adding lemonade you may have colors varying from pale straw to tho rich garnet of black berry acid the last named being, perhaps, the best in flavor of all. A Small-pox Remedy. The following statement of a correspond dent of the Stockton (California) Herald hat been going the rounds of the papers. Aij ex-Californian says he has seen it tested with entire success : "I herewith append a recipe which has been used to my knowjedgo m hundred of cases. It will prevent or cure the small-pox, though the pittingsare filling. When Jen ner discovered cow-pox in England, ths world of science hurled an avalanche of fa 1110 upon his head; but when the most scicutifio school of medicine in the world that of Paris published this recipe as a panacea for small-pox, it passed unheeded. It. is as ui) failing as fate, and conquers iu every in stance. It b harmless when taken by 9 well person. It will also cure scarlet fever. Here is the lec-ipe as I have used it, and cured mv children of the scarlet fever; heru it is as I have used it to cure small-pox; when learned physicians said the patient must die, it cured : "Sulphate of zinc, ono grain; foxglove (digitalis,) one grain; half a teaspoonlul of sugar; mix with two table spoonfuls of water. When thoroughly mix ed, add four ounces of water. Take a spoonr ful every hour. Either disease will tlisapr pear in twelve hours. For a child, smaller doses, according to age. If counties would compel their physicians to use this, thcru would be no need of pest-hou?es. If yoi value advice and experience, use this for that terrible disease." Necessity of Sleep. A prominent writer says: "There aro thousands of busy people who die for want of sleep every year. Sleeplessness becomes a disease, and is the precursor of insanity, We speak of sleep as the image of death, for it is the period in which the waste of thji system ceases, or is reduced to the minimum, Sleep repairs the waste which waking hours have made. It rebuilds the system. Tho night is the repair-hop of the body. Every part of the system is thoroughly overhauled, and the organs, tissues and substances are replenished. Walking consumes and exr hausts; sleep replaces and repairs. A man who would be a good worker must be a good sie.-per. A man has as much force in him as he has provided for in sleep. The quality of mental activity depends on th quality of sleep. Men need, on an average, eight hours of sleep a day. A lympalhctiu temperament may require nine; a nervous temperament mx or seven. A lympathetic man is sluggish, moving and sleeping slow ly, liut a nervous man acts quickly in' everything. He does more in one hour than a sluggish man in two hours; and so in hi.- sleepT Every man must sleep according lo his temjterameut, but eight hours is tho average.

When you promise to do a thing, be sure to keep vour word, ns well lor the sake of i truth as in justice lo others. This very in- ! terestmg story is told of a boy who wa I Miigulai ly faithful to his word. lie had j borrowed a tool from a neighbor, promising f to return it at night. JJefore evening he J was sent a.way on an errand and did not rc j turn until late. Before ho went he was told j that his brother should see the tool return j ed.
