]?IISCE1I4^I^1S. ? -gg g$reS5 r~" BV MRS. HARRIET BKACUEf. KTOWK. "A Utile child ^Iin.11 lend thorn." une co.u morning i iookou into a milliner's shop, unci there I saw a hale, hearty, well browned young fellow from the country, with his I<Jng*uart-whip nnd a lion shag coat, holding up some matter, and turning it about in his great first.? And what do you suppose it was? A baby's bonnet! A little soft blue satin hood, with us.van**: down border, white as the new-fallen snow, with a frill of rich blonde around the edge. By his side stood a pxetty woman, holding with no small priuc the baby? for evidently it was a baby. Any one eould read that fact, in every glance, as they looked at each other, and at the little head, and then at the large blue uncon hcious eyes nnd fat dimpled checks of the little one. It was evident that neither of them had ever seen a baby like that before. "But, really, J/ary," said the young man, "is not three dollars very high?" Mary very prudently said nothing, but taking the hodd, tied it on the little head, and held up the Utile baby. The man looked and giigned, and without another word, down went the three dollars, (all thut the last week's butter came to,) and as they walked out of the shop it is hard to say which looked most delighted with tho bargain. Another day, as I passed a carriage factory, I saw a young mechanic at work on a wheel. The rough body of a carriage stood beside him, and there wrapped up snugly, all hooded and cloaked, sat a dark eyed girl, about a year old, plavinir with a irreat sbairev doer. As 1 * f kj a oa* o # stopped, the m.in looked up from his work, and turned admitingly to his littlo companion, ;is much as to say "Sec wli.it 1 have got here!" "Yes," thought I, "and if the lady ever gt s a glance from admiring swains as since:e as Uiat, she will be lucky." Ah, theoe little children! little witches! pretty even in all their thoughts and absurdities! See, for example, yonder little naughty fellowin a fit; he has shaken his long curls over his deep bUfe eyes; the fair brow is bent in a frown; the ro:e leaf is pushed up in infinite defiance, and the white shoulders thrust forward. Can any but a child look so pretty even in their naughtiness? Then < aes the instant change; flashing smiles <tnd team, as the good comes ..11 :? ?1 -- wi/n iui in a man, uuu you are overwhelmed with protestations, promises, and kisses. They arc irresistible, too, these little ones? They pull away the scholar's pen, tumble about his paper, make somersets over bis book", and what can you do? They tear up newspapers, litter the carpets, break, pull, and upset, and then jabber unintelligible English in self-defence, and what can you do for yourself ? "If I had a child," says the precise man, "you should see!" lie docs have a child, and his child tears up his papers, tumbles over his things, and pulls his nose like all other children; and what hns the precise man to say for himself?? Nothing! lie is like every body Mse: "a little child shall lead him.' Poor little children, they bring and teach us human beings more good than they get in return. How often docs the infant, with its soft cluck and helpless hand, awaken a mother from worldlinoss and egotism to a world of a new and higher feeling. How ofton does the mother repay this by doing her best to wipe off, even before the time, the dew and fresh simplicity of childhood, and make her daughter, too soon a woman of the world, as she has been. The hardened heart of the worldly man is touched by the guiltless tones and simple caresses of his son; hut he repays it in time bv imunrtincr to his bov nil t.hn # */ I o "V " " crooked trick? Ami hard ways and care1<538 maxims which have undone himself. Go to the jail, tho penitentiary, nnd find thera the wretch most sullen, brutal, nnd hardened?then look at your infant son. - * % Such as he is to you, such to some mother was thia man That hard hand wa? soft and delicate?that rough voice was tender and lisping; fono eyes followed as he played, and he ^ as rocked and nursed as something holy. There was a time, too, when his heatt, soft nnd unworn, might have ?ouldcd to ouestionings of his jWakcr, and been senled with the 8<*al of Heaven. But. harsh hands seized it, and all is over with him forever. So of the tender weening child?he is made Che callous, heartless man,* of the believing child, the sneering skeptic, of the beautiful and modest, the shameless abandoned; and this is what the world does for the little one. There was a time when the Divine One stood upon the earth, nnd little children sought to draw uc&r to him. But harsh human beings stood betveen him and them, forbidding their approach. Ah, ba* it not olwavo been so ? Do not evp.n we, with our haid and unsubdued feelings?our worldly and unscriptural 1 abits and maxims?atand like a dark screen between our child and its Saviour, and keep even from the choice bud of our Wait* the radiance which ari ght ?nf< J i it (WParndfce?

The following is the substance of Kossuth's last appeal to the Hungarians, furnished by the Frankfort correspondent of the Newark Daily Advertiser. It will yfive some idea of the character the war is likely to assume: Our Fatherland is in danger! Citizens! to arms! to arms! If \vc thouirhi ourselves able, by ordinary means, to save the countrv, we :? -i ' T<* ?? wii\x hkj\j k i j uui it is in ueiu^rr. ii wc were at tlie head of a cowardly, childish notion, ready rather to fall than defend itself, we would not order the alarm bells j to ring through the whole land. Hut. as we know that the people of our country are a manly race, resolved to. defend" t h e m selves to the last against godless op- ! presslon, we lay all unworthy conceal- i mom 01 our position aside, ana call out i openly that tho. country is in danger!? | Because we know that the people arc uk' to de'end themselves ? nd the country, we lay open the danger in all its mngnitode, calling upon every citizen in the name of God's country, to look il in the. face, and seize arms to meet it. We will neither flatter nor discourage, bu? we declare openly, that unless the wnoie nation rise up to defend llseli 10 the last drop of its blood, all the noble blood shod already is in vain, and our country will fall, the Russian knout then ruling over an enslaved people, on the ground where the ashes of our ancestors repose. We therefore here, in fulfilment of our duty, communicate to all the inhabitants II il-i A1- I ?A ! - ui nuiiuury, mm iuu AUBinap {unpci'Ol' has lot loose upon us the barbarous hordes of Russia, that a Russian army of 46,000 men has broken into our country from Gallieia,. and marched continually forward, that Russian forces have also entered Transylvania, against whom our troops are struggling, and that finally, although-our fall- weuhl be followed by the enslavement of the people of all Europe, we can expect no foreign assistance, as the people that sympathize with us are kept down by their rulers, and gaze only in dumb silence on our Btrug giu. Wchavc nothing to rest our hopes upon but a righteous (Jod niul our own force. If we do not use our own force, Qod will nlso forsnke us. Hungary's struggle is no longer our struggle nlone. It is the strugglo of popular freedom ngninst tyranny. Our victory is the victory of freedom?our tan 13 the mil oi freedom. Uoct has chosen us to free the nations f.cm bodily servitude. Tn the wake of out victory will follow liberty to the Italians, Germans, Gzeehes, roles, Wallachians, Sclavonians, and 6'roations. With our fall goes down the star of freedom over all. People of Hungary; will you die under the exterminating sword of the savage Russians? if not, defend yourselves! Will tmit IaaI/ fin wliiln tlin ( !ncdn/*l/?.< nf the far north tread under foot the bodies of your fathers, mothers, wives and children? if not, defend yourselves. Will you see a part of your fellow citizens sent to the wilds of Siberia, made to serve in the wars of tyronta or bleed under the murderous kneut? if not, defend yourselves! Will you behold your villages in flames nud your harvests destroyed? Will you die of hunger on the land which your sweat has made fertile? if not, then defend yourselves! We, the free elected government of Hungary, call upon the people in the name of God and the Country, to rise up in arms, ordering, in virtue of her powors and duty, a general crusade of the people against the enemy, to be declared from every pulpit, and from every town-!lOUse of the country, and made kno\yii by the continual ringing of bells; every healthy man under 48 years of nge to take arms, whatever ho can get hold of, an nxe, scythe, or hook, if no better to be had;?notice to be given of iho approach of the enemy by the ringing of bells, and that preparation be made to resist or harass him, but particularly to ; destroy nil forage und food, quitting and setting n o even to me villages;?tue priest to seize, the cross, and lead the I people in the name of religion and liberty One groat effort is only necessary, nnrl ' ?

Wo have indeed an army, wliich nuni- | uers nooiu xuu,uuu ueiernnneu men, but | the struggle is no longer one between two hostile camps; it is (lie struggle of tyrany against freedom, of barbarism against all free nations. Therefore must all the people seize arms and support the army, that thus united tho-victory of the freedom of Tuirope may be won.
