CHILD. . --.r It U a graceful habit f?r children to wy , tocacbother,4- Will youbavelbe goodness -, nd, " I thank you.". ,I.do Dot like to see : primoV artificial children j there ere few things I dislike to much as a miniature beau or bdle. But the habit of good manner by - no mean impiiet affectation, or restraint. " It fa quite as easy to say, " Please give roe aj)iece'of pio,? as to say, I want a pieco ' of pie,' . i.-iiZ:ZI;Z . - The idea that constant politeness would render social life too stiff and restrained, , springs from a false estimate ; of politencsa. - True politeness la perfect ease anu freedom. ; It simply consists in treating othero just as i- yotflovoto.be treated yourself. A" person - who acts from this principle will always be said to have sweet, pretty ways with her." It is of soma consequence ihat your daugtu ter should know how to enter and leave a ' room gracefully ; but it U of prodigiously . more consequence that she should be in the " habit of avoiding whatever" is disgusting or : ; ofTensive to others,' and of always prefer ' ring" their pleasure to her own. If she. has the last, a very little intercourse with the - world willjteach her the first, ... ' i ;,, I believe nothing tends to make people so awkward as too much anxiety to please -. , others. - Nature is graceful j and affecta tion with all ber art, can never produce any . thing half eo pleasing. The very perfec tion of elegance is to imitato nature as , closely, as possible ; and bow much better it - is to have the reality than the imitation. I , .shall probably be reminded that the , best end most unaffected people are . often con. ' strained and awkward in company to which they are unaccustomed. I answer the rea . . son is, they do not act themselves ; they are - afraid they shall not do right, and that very fear makes tbem do wroag. Anxiety about - the opinion of. others, fetters the freedom of nature, . .t home, where they act from within themselves, they would appear a thousand times better. AH would Appear ; well, If they never tried to assume what , they do not possess. Every body is respect - able and pleasing so long as he is perfectly natural. I will make no exception nature Is always graceful." The most secluded and . the most ignorant have some charm about them, so lo.nir.aa they n(Ti?et noth'nsr ; "so long as they speak and act from the impulses of their own honest hearts, without any . anxiety what others think of it.' - Coarseness and vulgarity are the effect of education and , habit ; i they cannot be ' charged upon nature. " . True politeness may - be cherished in the hovel as well as in the ..' palace j and the most tattered drapery can not conceal its winning charms. As far as consistent with your situation and duties, early accustom your children to an Intercourse with strangers. I have 7 seen young persons who were respectful and polite at home, seized with a most pain "TuIlttriduiiborningTiashfuiness as soon as a guesljEnieredjra-aoidjhia evil,, allow " children to accompany you as often as pos sibie, when you make calls and social vis its. Occasional interviews with intelligent v and cultivated individuals have a great in .... fluenco on earthly character and manners, - particularly if parents evidently place a ; high value upon acquaintances of that do. scription. I have "known :the destiny of a whole family greatly changed for the bet tor, by the friendship of one of its mem bers with a person of superior advantages nnd correct principles. Mother's Assis tant ' - ."THERE'S ALCOHOL IN EVERY THING." . This is a favorite argument with many opposers of total abstinence, and is general. )y uttered with a triumphant, and some times even with a reverent air, as if alco liol evaded all space, and was. almost the soul, or at least an essential part, of God s creation. One thing is certain, that a large Imrt of our race, in all ages "of the world, lavemado it their god Thave paid it devout -homagcfiiave surrendered it 4eieir-4em-4 , poral and eternal good. . J3ut the. doctrine , that alcohol Uia every thing, in our grain, -ourbreaJ,our vegetables, our. fruit, .and that it is therefore idle to denonnce it, and wicked to declare war against it, is entirely without foundation. It has, however, pre sented difficulties to many good friends of oufcausc, anAve will, therefore, briefly examine it' '; . -t ' ; . ' Alcohol, wherever it fs found, is an in toxicating article; and in those liquors that contain the least of1t,uch as cider, wine, and beer,'produces.im immediate ex . xitemont, in a greater or less degree, ac itrdinglatbequantity2draokz?.Thero,s ' alcohol io every thing," , says our oppo . 7 ncnt,." Will you please, sir, to enter with mo into that field of grain, now waving ' gracefully in the wind, and indicating by 4l color and drooping heads, that it is ripe for the harvest ; or, go to - the orchard, whose trees are loaded with golden fruits ; or enter that vineyard, whose white or pur- - pie clusters invite to a nch,-nounshing and healthful baoqut, and show mc, in cither, ,o drop of that poisonous, intoxicating arti ' r.tn. mllivl alcohol T Eat until vou are fill. ed ofeilhergrain or fruit, and then tell mo if vou experience the least sensation of intoxication. Gather any of the grains or fruits. and by them, aside and partake of them atanv period, until decay has de stroyed them, and again say do you feel the elUiCts of alcohol. Then go abroad throughout all God's works ; range earth, air, and ocean, and show us I particlo of "' this poison in any of their products in their natural state. Ave hesitate not to say, you will find It not ; It is not to be foaod ; and wo call upon you, therefore, to retract your . assertion, and no longer deceive yourself, sor bewilder others, by a doctrine so do. founded. - .- . It is true, alcohol may be made by fer. mentation, and separated by distillaton, ' irom almost the whole vcgctnblo world? A : deadly poison may also be '.pbtained.. both from air and water. - Out, in the state in which a bountiful Creator has provided air ani wMer f rnir n, w'l get.coVT "pi k.si.iias a,- -.r'i ,.vi t-i n- subsistence- no poison exists, for where there is poison, its effects will be manifest The production and use of alcohol is a de vice of man, a perversion of God's good gula. God has also given map the power of speech that he may utter right i things, but bow often does be abuse this power, , to blaspheme his name and utter lies ; and the power of vision that Iwrmay admire and rightly estimate tfie beauty of his works, but bow much does he turn away and seek after forbidden' objectsjand aOnward moh." itor to warn him of evil, but howgenerally does he stifle' its whisperings. These are ail perversions of good things.;' and as well might we justify sin, because all our facul ties may be enlisted in its service, as justify the use of alcohol, because it may be made from all the products 6r the soil. Its inva riable effect upon mind , and . body show plainly that it is a device of the - enemy of God and man. Alas ! too well has it done its work. Temperance Almanck. , From tbe New O.lcans Picayune. 7 laipudience Pdaislicd. Never was a piece of impudence more .beautifully rcwaitled than yesterday, in a case which came under our especial obser. vation. 4 AVe record it for-the benefit of the rising generation as well as for the benefit of the generation which has already risen for a neater rebuke was never yet admin istered since the. adoption of the Federal Constitution. About six o'clock last eve ning two bucks, well known about towu for their very "free and easy" deportment, were seen strolling upon' St. Charles street, near Tivola Circle They were evidently in search of adventure, if one could be per--mitted tojudgejrpm the mannerin7jwhich they surveyed every house they- passed, as well as every person they met, fomalcs es pecially. 1 The conclusion to which wo ar. rived was that they had managed at the dinner tablo to deposito an extra quantity of wine where Moore kept his heart; videli cet beneath his vest At length they met a lady who seemed to suspect,7 before she reached them, that their object was to gaze into her face, and as she approached them she discovered something wonderfully in teresting upon the opposite side of the street, which she had not fairly surveyed until the gentlemen (1) had passed her.7 -l sayr JackilsaitLone- -of-them-with -a genteel hiccough, 'did you see her face V . 'No I didn't, did you ?' . . . 'No, but I should like to, shculJn'tyou ? How like a Juno she steps off, and what a beautiful shaped woman, she . is, is'nt she J' , 'Fine upon my word I'm bound to see her face ; there's nothing like boldness, I'll go and show her my handkerchief, and ask her if she .han't dropped it.' 'Capital ! iake minerit's a ' better one, cost me seventy-five dollars a dozen ; it hasn't been taken from my pocket before.' Jack took the nicelyfolded and pesfumed handkerchief, and hastened after the lady, now-ncarly-a square in-advance. " 'I beg your pardon, madam,1 said Jack, hat off, 'I think you dropped this.' Tho lady cast upon him a glance from a pair of the keenest eyes in the. world, drop, ped half a courtesy, took tho handkerchief and with a freezing 'thank you sir,' walked quietly on her wayr The smile, so ef quisitely compose!, which rested upon her lips as she tripped down street, was a per fect diaphragm convulser. The poor beau stood for a moment as thunderstruck ; but a most hearty and unaffected haw ! haw ! haw ! from a rough fellow, who stood go zing overthe piilingj and had witnessed the entire operation, recalled him to his senses. ; He joined his companion and they hastily, moved away. " - RtcHES. It is a strange delusion for men to suppose that happiness consists in riches. Contentment is not to be found in splendor and magnificence ; or why is it that princes have sometimes exchanged the grandeur of the palace for the more simple enjoyments of- privatelife!
