OIVKN TO Cllll.UUK*'. As to the pleasures and distractions , which are Procured for children, there is no need to vary them much. Children are pleased with the same objects with which they amuse themselves every day, ' and with the places that they are often , in, and where they pass their life. Far fetched pleasures lire them, irritate, and pall upon them ; while, on the contrary, the calm of a uniform life suits both their temperament* ami taste*. There is I no rudt of wcArviug them by reason of ; the small number of objects made to pa>-s before their eyes, and the little variety introduced into their habits ; their imagination makes up for all, and they know no such thing as monotony; stich a source of new impressions for them is the slightest circumstance Their henlth. besides, j requires that their minds be not occupied with too many ideas at once ; that their ! imagination be not excited, nor their sen nihility disturbed by too many lively and rnultiplied sensations. A child that was traveling in Italy with its family, whom the mother took with her every where,arid ] before whose eyes a hoet of new and va<ied objects were made to pass every day contracted thereby a nervous disorder, yvfticb only' be allayed by a trail tjui! and uniform life in the open air, and without change of place. Let us, then, ?*/we children to their proper nature; let us not constrain '.hem, but lake good care not to make them old before their time, by attributing to them lite tastes and the requirements of a more advanced age. What shall I say of parties, entertain imSo.U, ami fancy balls, to which young children Are taken without hesitation, in j order to derive amusement from their disguises, much rather than to amuse the children themselves f It is enough to have been present at one of these parties, to be convinced of the injury it does them, morally and physically. Why have re course to such pleasures, which do not really suit their age; which enervate them by disordering their young brains, and which in all cases,never call forth <? them as hearty and spontaneoipi gayety, an a show of magiq lantern, qr a collation 10 the middle of the day ! These are pleas j urea which ai4 r$.i!)y made Cor children, hat may l?e given to tiien) from timo to time without dapger, and which we enjoy ourselves from the jov the children receive from them, and communicate to us. uow Mt'BT WK ACT WITH Cltll.tmEX WHtV Til KV AKK AVRA10 I ! hare just recommended, incidentally, treating the imagination of children with care, and not exciting it by too vivid im- | previous ; but this point merits my in- | aisting upon it in a particular manner. It demands great attention on the mother's part. A violent shock inav have serious consequences in the after life of a child i whoso character is feeble, and mind very easily shaken. We should not, at such times, set abruptly to work to reassure him, and accustom him to the circumstances and objects which move him, or create in him a vague terror. One sel- i dom feels inclined to treat with precaution the ill-grounded fears of children. K is. however, fears of this kind which are mosl closely allied to the secrets of the human organization, and which are the most difficult to eradicate ; and, if wo do not treat them with gentleness and tact, we run the risk o! seeing them continue a long tune under the most varied forms. Too great precautions cannot lie taken to familiarize children, little by little, with the ot'jects and ideas winch move and < frighten them. Herein the conduct de maud* tact and skill. That which is es senlial is, not to make too much of them, hut to lead the child's mind into an or dinary channel, by a simple and tin alloc led conversation. With still stronger reason should we avoid frightening a child on purpose. It is a detestable system to try to cure him of fear hy force, hy obliging him, for example, to remain alone, j ar.d in liic dok, notwithstanding tin* terror lie may experience from it.

From Correspondent of Harpers Weekly. Tlie Late Assassinations at Tacubaya, in Mexico. The most barherou* wenc which has occurred on the American continent since the suspension of the heathenish rites of the idolatrous Church of the Aztecs took place on the 11th of April at Tactihaya, a yillage near the city of Mexico, tinder the immediate direction of the priests of the Romish Church of that country of the present day. The Liberal at my had been laying Beige to the city of Mexico for three weeks, when the Clergy parly, in possession of the city, had*obtained large reinforcement*, and moved to attack the Liberals. The , Clergy party forces numbered 4500 men, and were led on by Cenera! Marquez, the most blood-thirsty of the chiefs who light for lit a muirairiAcv id lliA Church in Ntevi- ; CO. The'nrmy of attack, after being reviewed in the Grand Plata ot Mexico, received absolution frcii) (bo Church for nil their sins, and medals of the Holy Vir- ! gin to shield ihetu froiu the balis of their enemies. The army left the city mC s?v- , en o'clock in the niprning. end at four o' clock in the sfternoon reached a point above and to the east of Tacnbava, where the Liberal forces were. The forces of the Clergy party arranged their fortv pieces of artillery which they had with , A tliem, and commencing firing upon Tacu bay a, a village in which reside the families of most of the rich foreigners and natives of Mexico. As ikj Notice had been given of this attack, the families of these peo pie were much endangered, ami the lives of several poor women and children were actually sacrificed. This merciless fire lasted for two hours, and was then hush | ed until the following morning (the 1 1th o| April). On tho iftoming of the 1 1th, at seven o'clock, forty pieces of artillery opened ?.|"?|| i'ic uatuiru pince, ailU KCpi lip HH ' incessant lire until after ten o'clock, when j the liberals were forced to retire, owing to tiie treachery or ignorance of their com mnndcr in cliief, and notwithstanding the) had killed at least ten of tiie Clergy lor- I en for every man they had lost. the Clergy forces entered Taetiba/a about eleven o'clock, and at once com* l menced a scene of pillage and massacre never before witnessed in a civilized conn- 1 try. 1'iiests were seen in their robes ur gmg tin 1- soldiers to murder 111 cold bh isl the poor wounded of the Liberals wh < were found in the streets.

Even in the State of i New York there arc thousands of acres 1 at this time, which have never been! plowed to a greater depth than four in | die*, composed of a loam entirely ready to li" disintegrated by a surface plowing, to the depth of twelve or fifteen inches with increased profit; and there .are few | soils that may not ho at once plowed to an inch or more L -vond the former >1? j>th.

Less manure will produce a larger amount of crops in a deeply disintegrated soil ; and it is not true that the deeper vou plow the more manure you reouire.

Truth. l'oets liavo sung of l!io beauties of the landscape, i t the glories of the setting sun, ol the sweet tieos of a Calm Mav1 morning; novelists h we charmed us with . their glowing descriptions of the innocence of childhood, the loveliness of tho p >wer of plighted love, the enchantments of a bridal scene, the gorgeous beauties ' of the scenery of nature ; and novelists have written of the loveliness of virtue, 1 but after all there is one old word which 1 more thoroughly illustrates all that is beautiful and lovely, than any thing else. \\ hat so entirely commands our admitai lion as truth ; what so lovely in every ?!/?'. sex and eomliti >!i ' 1? is l.nrer limn 1 . snow water?richer than the mines of earth?more glorious than the sun, more lovely than E len bowers ami more durarable than the everlasting hills. In man, woman or child, it is preferable to riches, fame or pleasure. Always to speak the truth and nothing ^ hut the truth i-> the highest mark of a tiuo man or woman. Let it come from , the heart in simplicity, without straining, freed from hyperbole or extravagance, and however uncouth or uncotnproniis ing. it is sweeter, ami more precious than all things else beside. And how lovelv is ! it m children. The parent who assidu ously cultivates in his children the hahit ; of always speaking the truth, Imilds for t them a more enduring monument than i marble, and sets in them a jewel more : valuable than crowns and diadems. In this degenerate age, too much im portance cannot he attaclted to this nei ccssarv duly. The world is given to ly1 ing. Never were men more indifferent j to the value of truth, llouco tho necesaiI ty of cultivating the hahit in carlv life.? y Lay it deeply in tho early convictions of r the youthful mind, and no regrets will he . experienced when gray hairs cover your head.?Spirit of the Age. HOMR,?To build a happy home, six things are required. Integrity must be the architect, tidiness the upholsterer. It must be warmed by affection and lighted up with cheerfulness. Industry must be the ventilator, renewing the atmosphere and bringing in fresh salubrity day by , day ; while over all, as a protecting cano* py nnd glory, nothing will suffice except | the blessing of bod. fiumorons.

So he gave out that the man who could stop her tongue should have the l'rinoess to wife, and half his \ kingdom into tho bargain. Now, throe brothers who heard this, made up their i minds to go and try their luck; and first , of all the two elder went, for they thought thev were the cleverest; but they couldn't cope with her at all, and got well thrashed besides. Then, Hoots, the youngest, j set oil, and when he hud gone a little way he found an osier band laying on tho road, and lie nicked it no. \Vli?r. he hail gone a liitlo further he found ?*t , |>ieco of.broken plate, and lie picked that up too. A little farther on ho found a dead magpie, and a little further on still a crocked ram's horn ; so he went on a bit and formd the fellow to the horn ; and at last, just us he was crossing the fields ; bv the King's palace, where they were pitching out dung, he found a womout shoe sole. All the things lie took with him into the palace, uud went before the Princess, j 'Good day,'said he. 'Good day,' said she, and made a wry , face. Can't 1 get my inagp:o cooked hero ?' I he asked. I'm afraid it will burst,' answered the Princess. 'Oh! never fear ! for I'll just t*e this osier hand round it,' said the lad, as he pulled it out. The fat will run out of it,' Raid the j Princes#. Then I'll hold this under it,' said the lad, and showed her the pieco of broken plate. i ou arc so clocked in your words,' said I lift Princess, 'there's no knowing where : to have you.' No, I'm not crocked,' said the !nd; but this is, as lie hold up one of (lie horns. Weill' said the Princess, *1 never saw the match of this in all my days.' Why, hero vou see the match to it,' said the lad, as bo pulled out tho other ram's horn. 'I think,' said the Princess, you must have come hero to wear out my tongue with your nonsense.' No, I have not,' said the lad ; 'but this is worn out,' ns be pulled out the shoo solo. To this the Princess hadn't a word to say, for she had fairly lost ho.r voice with ; rw- * Now you are mine,' said the lad ; and so got the Princess to wife, and half the j kingdom. - 1 ,
