Bat when some in discret Southern newspaper dealt in wild talk, it mad nonsense is seized upon and circulated by every section al paper in tbe north aa an evidence of Southern sentiment. The- truth is that the last thing on tbe face of tbe earth the Southern people desire or dream of is war. They are at a loss to understand how any one can sin cere ly bold ao opposite idea. Neither the election of Gen. Grant nor any other man would lead to lesistance in the South. Of all the prominent Republicans, Gen. Gra-it, so far as ho it personally concerned, is most respected by the Southern people. the fact that he hat the chief mm tary prestige in the armies of the United States, instead of working to bis prejudice, tends to elevate him with military people. Even if the South desired to appeal to arms, it ia as well aware of its inability to do ao of moving insects grauAoppers.

Children must have amusement. The youthful mind cannot and should hot be idle; Just to with the little hands they want something lo do icM do something, and should have e in ploy men t ia a right direction. Children are fond of something thai has life in it. Vou may amuse them for a time with dolls and Other toys' but they toon oat grow a fond neat for these inanimate playthings tbey cannot show any gratitude in return for the ca esses bestowed upon them ; the child is quick to notice this, and caste them ttdo at nn worthy of Ma pure love. Present a child of three or four vears old with a pair of fancy Bab bits, a pair of Guinea Pigs, or a pair of Bantam Chickens, and the over flow of it rejoicing w ill do you good.

The Revolution in Spain hat thin far been completely successful. 1 he progress of' liberal opinions it rapid and extiHorditfary, and foreign ad vice indicate anything else than a speedy revival of the worn-out sym bols of Spanish royalty. Queen Isa be! la hus taken the wings of the morning and fled beyond the utteix moat limits of her kinudon. The Provisional Junta has become the centre of authority and power, and the wole kingdom it rallying to itt support, lhe few lork lie rail, commenting upon the matter, say : "N'o provisional government certain ly Iias ever done more in the same brief space of time. Freedom of tbe press, the right of publie'tiieeting, the abolition of tbe order of Jesuits, the threatened confiscation of all ec cleuaeiical property, the prociama mation ol the sovereignty of tbe peo ple, and, of course, universal suf frage, the condemnation of slavery in the colonies, all taken together reveal a spirit of liberality up to i he highest requirements of the age, and and an amount of activity and dar ing seldom, if - ever surpassed." The tendency of political matters in Spain is unquestionably towards the establishment of a Republic, but it is still not unlikely that the well ascer tained sentiment of the people may be defeated by a coalition between the wiPy and astute Emperor of the ly, what must b rte ignorance hfthe more venal of the Revolutionary movement.
