Word to Fathers I W.ihave read a story of a little boy, who, when be wanted a new suit of clothes begged bis mother to ask his father if he might have it. The mo ther suggested that the boy might ask for himself. 1 "I would," said the .boy, ' but I don't feel enough acquainted with him." There is a sharp reproof to thefath- I " . 1 er in the renlv ot Im son- Manvafa- ther keeps his children e at a distance from him that they never feel confi dently acquainted with him. They feel that he is a tort of monarch in the family. They feel no familiarity with him. They fear and respect hira, and even love him some, for children can not help loving somebody about them ; but they seldom get near enough to him to feel intimate with him. They 2 seldom go to him with their wants and trHls. They approach bim through the mother.. They tell her everything. They have a highway to her heart on which they go in and out with perfect freedom. In this keeping off plan (fa thers are to blame. Children should not be held off. Let then come near. Let them be as intimate with the fa ther as mother, - Let their little hearts be freely opened. It ! ia wicked to freeze up the love fountains of little one's hearts. Fathers do them an inf jun by living with them as strangen. This drives many a child away from home fur the sympathy his heart craves. and often in improper society. It nurses discontent and mistrust, which many a child does not outgrow in his liftime. Open your heurts and your arms, Oh father ! be free with your children ; ask for their wants and trials ; play with them ; be fathers to them truly, and they will not need a meditator be tween themselves and you. The first white child born in North America was Virginia, daughter of An. anias and Eleanor Dare, and grand daughter of Governer John White. She was born on the 18th of August, 1597, in Roan ike, North Carolina. Iler parents Were in tho expedition sent out by Sir Walter Raleigh in that year. There is no record of her his tory save that of her birth. The first minister who preached the Gospel in North merica was Robert Hunt of the Church of England, an exemplary marj, who came out in the same company vith Captain John Smith, in the ve r 1607. lie was much esteemedas a man of peace, and was in many ways useful to the colo ny. There i? no record of his death, nor of his Teturn to England. He died at Samestown. He had a good library, which was burnt with all h a other property, in the burning of Jamestown the next winter after be came out. " The first fomales who cam e to Vir ginia proper were Mrs. Forrest and her maid, .Acne Burns, in the expedi tion of Newport, 1608. The first mar riage in Virginia was in the same year John Laydon to Anne Burns. The ceremony was probably by the good master Hunt.' The first intermarriage between the whites and Indians was John Rolfe to Pocahontas, in April, 1613. ocahon tas, was also tho first of the Virginia Indians that embraced Christianity and was baptized. L f ihe first legislative assembly in Virginia met in July, 1G19 at the summons of Governor George Yeaid ley. One month later, negroes were first brought info the colony by a Dutch man of-war. The fiist periodical in North America was the Boston News Letter, which made its appearance in Augiut, 170". The first in the Old Dominion was the Virginia , Gaiett. publisl ed at Wiliatnsburg, by William Parks, week ly, at seven shillings- It appeared iu 1736, and was long tbe only paper published in the colony. Slavery DEVOTED TO POLITICS, LITERATURE, SCIENCE AND ART. LOUISBURG. N. C, MARCH. preceded the periodical praas ( 171 Tears. The Blue Ridge was first crossed by the whites in the year 1714. rihe first iron furnace erected in North America was by Gov. Spotts- wood, in 1730, in Spottsylvania county, Va. -A.n Hour from Labor.

There ia a spell iu woman. No man, not utterly degraded, can listen without de.ight to tbe accents of a guileless beavt. Beauty, too, has a natural power over the miu J ; and it is right that this should be. All that overcomes selfishness, the besetting sin of the world, is an instrument of good. Beauty is but melody of a higher kind; and both alike aoften the troubled and hard nature of man. Even it we look ed on lorely woman but as a rose, an exquisite production of the summer hours oil life, it wonld be idla to det y her maktns: even those summer hours sweeter."1" But as the companion of-the mnd, as the very model of friend-hip tbat chance can shake, as the p!es- unt sharer of tbe heart, tbe being to whom man returns after the tumult of. tbe day, like the worshipper to a se cret shrine, to revive his noble tas es and virtues at a scurce pure from the evil of the external world, and glowing with a perpetual light ot sanctity and !o7, where shall we fiod her equal I or what must be our feeling tqward th Disposer of earth and all that it inhabits. but t f admiration and gratitude to that di-p sai, which combines our highest happiuc.3 with our, purest virtue ?

Whether he gets th upper or the nircler hand in the se nd tquabV.r, he can ftel only shame is the result Ho can have no resptxt fr hini3elf, and certainly tbe event will cot enhance the- respect of hi? neighbors. A man may ttll into a mudhole, and tho wet will dry, and the dirt maj be brushed off ; a man may stumble and bark his thins, and he can recover Lis quilibrium, and the pain Will soon be waited. Even b broken bone may be healed, and lot flesh may be rrpUced Bat tne slings that re3uli from a quarrel are not so easily overcame. Qunrrelling begets quarrelling." It blunts the sensibilities, and eetf tbe spirit in a ferment ; and a icrraenticg spine 13 anont as near an approach to hades as. can be found on eanb. If the thing can te hon ribly donw, live in peace and quiet. Peace and qu;et are not only good f r the in dividual but. th;y are jgood for the neighborho id. As a rule j (all rales may have exception), it a man cheats you, drii't deal with bim any more ; if be jseek to abuse you, let him severe ly alone. In short, k ep cool and keep the peaec. 'Bitssed are tbe peaces maker,' says the Great Teacher , and we may add 'Thrice blessed is he who can maintain an atmosphere ot peace about him continually.' W maklt MrDS5TY. Man lores the mysterious. A cloudless sky, the full blown rose, .have him unmoved ; 1 ut the. violet whic hides its Hashing oeauties behiud the bush, ana the moon when she emerges from behind a cloud, are tw hiui sourcts of inspiration and of pleasure. Modesty is to merit what shstde ia to figure in painting ; it gives it boldnefs and prominence, Nothing adds more to female beauty than mod esty ; it sheds arun4 the countenance a halo ot light which i borrowed from virtue. Botanists have given the resj hue whjch tinge the cup ol tht. white roBa the name of 'maiden blush.' . This pure and delicate hue is the only pint that Christian virtue should use ; it is the richest ornament. A woman with out modesty is like a faded fl w.r, which diffuses an unwholesome odor, and which the prudent jardemr will throw from him. Iler destiny is mel ancholy, fr it ends in fcharae and re ptntmc.

Sunshine is beautiful and joj-in epriog always. All thicgf ani mate and inanimate take on a new lite in its presence. Not a flower but gratefully recognizes it, tot a so-g-bird out carols the sweetrr under its touch. How the rivule s flish an 1 the broad waters shimmer to . its glancp, while tbe valley atmosphere is golden ly a-hase, and the grand old woods and mountains are all aflame with its kisses. Earth, that under tbe cloud and tbe night shade seemed like one stricken with a mighty sorrow, now treads her round of space like a new-crowded queen. Who amid the gnshirg sua shine can think of . aught but lifc, oealtb, joy, music, beacty and splen dor? " How is it that you carnj home cf from your party so earh last nicht Su- san? Didn't you enjoy yourself?" Susan Yea ma'am, but the young man as tuk me bin to supper insulted me.' Mistress Insulted you, Susan? Why. what did he say?' ; Susan Yes ma'am.
