How to be Nobody. It is easy to- be nobody, and we will tell yeu how to do it. Go to. the drinking-saloon to spend your leisure time. You need not ' drink raueh now; just a little beer or soine other drink. In the meantime play dorainaes, checkers. or something else to kill time, so that you will be sure not to read: any useful book. If you do read, let it be the dime novels ot the day. Thus go on, keeping your stom achs full and your head empty, and yourself playing time-killing games, and in a few years you'll be nobody, unless, as. is quite likely, you should turn out to be a drukard or a professional gambler, either 6f which isiworse than nobody. "Labels, Circulars and Bill Heads, at New York prices at the POST PRINTING OFFICE 1 The Children. One of the first things that strikes the, attention . of an American in Germany, when he begins to get a little insight into the life of the peopfe, is the equality and sympathy existing between parents and children. In no country do parents fake more pains, and likely not so much to enter into the very hearts and lives of their children than here. They verv early make them acquainted with their plans, talk with them as to older people, never go on an excursion or journey with out them, and search everywhere for what ever will minister to their amusements and instruction. In no home would I sooner expect to una a latuar turning mmseir into a norse, an eiepnanr, or a Barrel on nis par- lor floor, for his children to riae him, roll him over, or do with him what they 'please, than in a German one and the clergymen's as soon as any other. There are probably five juvenile household games in Germany to one any where else, and the parents ex ercise a-wide discretion by having frequent entertainments for their children, and pro viding everything possible for the amuse- ment of all, to make their homes the most attractive spot on earth to the little folks. The child that asks a question is not met with a blunt answer, but with such a reply as pleasant and instructi ve as the parent knows how to give as naturally promotes other inquiries and gives stiroulous to the mind. One of the causes of the equality between the old and the young here lies in the fact that the child, at any rate the eldest boy, is expected to follow his father's business, and must early share his xlatis. The same house, the same employment, and I sheuld not wonder it sometimes the same genera tion of customers, are identified with the same family and name, to the defiance of changes of governments, from century to century. If Luther and Melancthon should rise from the stone floor of the old Castle church in Wittenberg, and be under the necessity of going shopping together, it wnnld nnt. hnn1ikelv that thpv nould hnv books, stationery, clothing, and -recedes, and jget every want supplied, at about the same shops that thev patronized three hun- dred years age. . But there is a far deeper cause the Ger- mans love children, and the more they have the greater their joy. So soon as another is added to the number the father is ex pected to communicate by letter the fact to all his near and remote relatives and friends, and in due time he has every reason to expect congratulatory letters from them in return., The fact is stated in the papers, and then more letters come.

Bailey stated that the committee pad made arrangements with a speaker, but he had met with an accideut which prevent ed him from being present, but had gained consent ot Mr. W. L. Smith, to make some remarks of which we give a synopsis. Mr. Smith said that having so short a time to prepare an address, he hoped the audience would overlook all mistakes, but that he did to the best of his ability. He spoke of the ranid nowth of the population ef the United States, and he thou-ht all should be thankful tor beinff born under fre and liberal government : of thelncreasinrr mem- bers of the Odd Fellows ; and that the chief subject of the brotherhood was the establish ment of truth and love and the elevation of mankind. j ; At the close of Mr. Smith's happy remarks the benediction was pronounced by Mr Gardner, when the processron again formed and marched back to theirjlodge. mt t e Masks.

We hardly recogniz ed it as it entered our office, in its new spring clothes; but while admiring the color and quality of its dress, we were delighted to discover that it adorned our old friend. The improvements which have followed thick, and fast in this' Magazine, show the enterprise and success of its publishers. The heavy paper is a great addition at well as the cover, and its typographical appear ance is unsurpassed. Its contents are unexceptionable, and among its list of contributors are some of the most noted writers of the day. We do not understand how Mr. Wood is able to do so much for so little money nevertheless we are very. glad to acknowledge his achieve ments. The Magazine is furnished for the small sum of one dollar.

Peterson & Brothers,r Philadelphia, publish an entire new edition of "Twenty Tears After," by Alexander Dumas. Although the "Three Guardsmen" was one of the most complete novels ever published, yet to kill off the characters : around which Dumas had1" thrown so much fascination, would hare been an unpardonable sin in an author against his own fame, as well as injustice to his admirers, and Dumas was not the man to commit such an error. "Twenty Years After" was a necessity both with the Author and the Public, and nobly did the former redeem the expectations he had created, tor it is fully equal, if not of more intense interest, than its predecessor. "The Three Guardsmen" series, was the keystone of Dumas' great fame like the 'Waverleyw ot Sir Walter Scott, this series of books at once stamped the impress of bis genius upon universal admiration, and gave- him the hearts and imaginations of the Romance readers of his day as an empire.
