Clouds cniicl) and adorn n landscape. Perpetual
sunlight weaiies, and the freshness
and fragrance of a dewy evening are hailed
with gladness after the " long lapse of a
summer's daylight" Afllictions are sweet
to the Christian, even when the heart is almost
bursting with giief; for he is assured
that the pain is inflicted by a kind Father
and fur the profit of his child. In the dark
est hour he hears the precious assertion,
" Whom the Lord loveth ho chastcnetb,"
and the entreaty, " Let not your heart bo
troubled."
When we arc in the depth of poverty,
can we not remember him who feeds ilie
ravens when they cry, and clothes the lib
lies? And shall we doubt his willingness
to administer to our necessities. When we
are homeless, wo can hear a voicc whispertill*

say, "Shall not God avenge his own elect ?"
' The heart knowclh its own bitterness,"
and theie are Borrows which must be endured
without Hnnan sympathy and in soliludo;
but is there a grief in which our
Father will not sympathize? Is th re a
sorrow which cannot he whispered in his
ear ? " Is his ear ever heavy that it eanrot

lio cannot cure ; no wound that lie cannot
heal."
Let us, then, repair to our heavenly Father
in "every dark distressful hour," and remember
that he has said, " I will never
leave thee nor forsake thee." And shall
we not respond, " Whom have I in heaven
but thee? And there is noue upon earth

Many have acted the hypocrite in

have been kept sccret through life, have
come out in death ; and many who seemed
all fair and right for heaven, have had to
declare that they had only been selfdeceiv

The LHOCHiter (Penn.) Express of Wednesday,
guys :
A scrne of iho wildcat excitement occurrt'd
last evening at St. J times' (Kpiscopnl)
Church, in this city. which, for a time threatened
tu be very seiious in iw consequences.
It having become generally known that the
marriage of two young ladies, both highly
esteemed and enjoying an extensive circle

place in tlio church, tho otic al seven unci

congregation oollcctcd to witness the ceretnnnii'f.
Long jiefore the It >ur named for
the first marriage, the chinch was crowded

mul stairways and vestibule, wore packed
full of Qivn, wouicn and children, and by
thu lime thf bridal party arrived many persons
were unable to gain ndmittance, who
consequently collected at the windows on
(he street.
The appearance of Mr. Fidior and Miss
Diller, at about 7.^ o'clock, was the signal
'or n gcuuritl ami disgraceful scramble for
available positions for witnessing the ceremonies.
Many of those present appeared
to liave no regard for their own decency or
the sacred character of ihe house. They
stood on ihe seats and even scrambled on
the. backs of the pews, the spectacle presented
being more like what is sometimes seen
in a theatre than we ever witnessed in a
church. Amid this confusion ihe solemn
and impressive ceremony was commenced
by llev. Jacob VV. Diller, brother of the
happy bride; but before its conclusion the
confusion was renewed in consequence of
many persons becoming alarmed by the
creaking of a bench in one of the galleries
which they supposed was the gallery itself
giving way under the great weight upon it.
The ceremony being over, the bridal party
had scarcely retired from the church,
when an old bench which had formerly been
carried into the organ gallery gave way un>

Th?? crash started a frightful panic. Some
person in the gallery cried out that the gallery
was falling, and a general stampede
commenced in all parts of the church. The
lower windows were thrown up, and used
by many as a means of exit. One young
gentlemnn was so terribly frightened, that
hequite forgot, the lady lie had escorted to
the church, and made a break through the
nearest window, carrying with him the entire
lower @ lion of sash. He was quickly
followed by a couple of ladies, and others
were prevented fiom leaping out by those
on the inside who had presence of mind
sufficient to see that there v ."8 no real danger,
except that which arose Horn the panic.
Several ladies got out of one of the gallery
windows, descending on the vestry roof, and
from thence into the church yard. A number
of Indies fainted, which, with the scream
ni? hiiu prnyuig, uiu raining 01 minus and
broken glass, presented a frightful speclaclc.
Those under the gallery supposed to be
falling, made a rush in the direction of tlie
pulpit, overturning and slightly damaging
the baptismal font, and carrying away the
banister in front of the chancel.

somewhat quiete I the tumult hy announcing' |
thai nobody was hurl and thai there was
no real danger. Hut iho crowd still lingered
to witness the nuptials of Mr. Elder and
Miss Calder, until i)r How man announced j
thai the ceremony would not he performed
in the church. Even then many persons
regaided this ns a ruse on the part of lite
Doctor to get clear of the crowd, and it was
not until the Sexton began to turn off the
gas inai mo ctuircn was cleared. The second
bridal party rep ijred lo the residence
of the bride's father, where the ceremony
was performed by Dr. Bowman, and the
happy pair at once prepared 10 Mart on their
wedding lour in the evening train.
Good Advice.?The following is nn extract.
of a letter written by a gentleman who
was for some 0s ar.s chief of a govorrment
bureau, and who is now n diitinmiiuliorl
judge in one of the northern Slates, ll is
addressed 10 a youth of this city who was a
subordinate in his bureau :
" And now 1 know you will permit me to

' The Culture of the Minds of the Children.
There is nothing, perhaps, upon heaven
thflt is so plensnni to witness as parental afj
feelion ; ii is an instinct so natural and eo
j powerful that obstacle* are surmounted and
sacrifii'i's nri? mmln wiilmni """""o ......
' with pleasure, by ihosc parents who see i .
j their oQVpring the Consummation of love.?
But is ii not surprising, or, rather, is it not
a matter of deep regret, that with all this
affection, with all this sincere and honest
idolizing, one of the first duties and one of
. the greatest pleasures should he oveilooked,
I neglected ; that the mind of the child, KimI
pie, tractable, and confiding, should be left
| to develop itself' under the harsh infiuene.es
of ignorance?to bccotuc dwnifed by n mistaken
kindness'? So soon as the infant
opens its bedazzled eyes in this world, it
commences to think?to learn. Its thoughts
of course, are weak and perhaps 'one-half
formed ; but there is the mind, whose nature
will not alio*- it to rest, however much
we may deceive ( Urselve's upon tiint point.
Tho necessity, then, exists for the attentive
training of the infant mind from the earliest
moment it deals with the things of this life.

ihe child walks and.talks for years without
any attention being paid to the direction of

Minuii it. BUiiiTci)' Knows me meaning, and
with win ning against (hose enormities more- |
ly which involve punishment and disgrace ;
external propiiety of behaviour and politeness;
the arts of reserve, dissimulation, and
i U'tltoi v , veriaiu orthodox notions of the occupations,
pleasures and advantages of so
ciety, and dexterity in gaining a livelihood;
j are taught, as matters of coursc ; while the
j formation of the mind and the heart is esti!
mated as a secondary consideration. This
produces more serious consequences than
may at tirst appear. One or both of two
results are almost inevitable; tho child's
natural simplicity may be poisoned, and its
openness of heart may be violated. There
arc serious obstacles to the education of the
infant mind.
For the understanding of a child lo be
healthy and propetly formed, it must have
been supplied with co'Tect notions of things,
and taught always to think in a way consonant
with truth. Hut this cannot be accomplished
without much assiduity and care;
this is no exception ; anything, the possession
of which is valuable, is generally difficult
to obtain. And what can be more
precious to an affectionate parent than an
intelligent child ? Or what could more amply
reward parental exertions?those dutiful
labors of love? Can we expect the
child to successfully pursue truth, through
* ' y a * the
bypaths and mazes of falsehood, without
? guide to lirst teach it the shortest and
safest way, and a beacon to afterwards remind
it of its instructions ? The honest little
heartt of childhood arc easily cnujjl.l in
the snares of popular erroi ; and for them
to be once 80 entangled, is perhaps the most
melancholy accident that can befall them ;
consequence follows consequence, until the
result is a deplorable and may be a fata] ignorance.
To avoid this, the child should
be subject to a systematic watching; and i
whenever it arrives at a wrong conclusion,
a conversation, kind, con.-iderate, and of
character to unit its ape, may put it right,
and so explain the cause of arriving at such
unsound judgment, tlr.it the erro. may, per
Imps, be less seldom as the- child becomes
j older. This may appear to involve nn ?r
diions undertaking on the part of the pa
rent; but il is absolutely accessary, fur by
no other means can the child be taught suf
(iciemly early to pay attention lo the operation
of its own mind, which is one great object
to he aimed at and achieved.
All questions should bo patiently and
| careiully answered; and by no meais should
ouriou>ity be checked. To reply peevishly
and shai p to a child's interrogatories; is a
fatal mistake, and neither confbms the prudence
nor intelligence of the parent. It is
a check to the cravings of a mind desiring
to develop itself; t?\ refine to labor, that |
| you may bo rewnrded n hundred fold ; to j
j nip in the bud the loiig dflf-ired flower, and |
; to heap sorrow on your head, and cxpect
| rvjuicing. The injunction to "hear, sec,
j and 6ay nothing," in a mistake which nUist
I sooner or Inter bo patent to tho world of
: parents and tutors who have so lone cher
isbcd it as an orthodox admonition to those
intelligent little creatures who have desired I
to understand what they have seen. Of
course there are times and seasons when silence
should he. required of them ; hut these |
are rare, ?nd ?ot generally of long duration. |
Then, again, they should be encouraged to J
use their senses?to see things, feel them,
hear them, arid so on, whencvor it is possible
for them to assist their understanding.

is only by attention thrtithey oan obtain any
solid inform iiion; and ii is therefore of
great imporl.ince thai they should be trained

i Another necessary precaution, on the part
! of parents and tutors, is that their answers
to (jueilions, or their explanation of objects,
should bo given in language sufficiently
I plain lo coino wiiliiB the comprehension of
llie child to lie instructed ; or els*, ns must
hI ofice he sopn,the child will bo puz/'cd instead
of edified, and ihe labor of the instructor
be in vain instead of edified. It wor?
better that the little students questions be
left unanswered, than that they should be
mystified by ignoranco and prevarication,

instructors that they should occasionally ftc-.

| mUled, either intentionally or uninlenlionul|
ly, is that lirst impressions have a superior!!
ty of power over those which mny be nfterwnrds
received. This accounts, in a tnpasuro,
lor the tenacity with which some people
I retain notionsahsuullv superstitious. They
| have received lliem when young, and tliey |
! have strengthened with age. Fust ?nipres- I
siops, ihcrefore, should be forcible nnd line. I
1 Another error not uafiequontly committed j
; in (he education of the child, is that his :
| tasks arc not within his power of compre- I
! hension." They arc suited only for riper i
; years; and the ideas he forms ol these'sub- I
! jects are probably incorrect. In everv dav
I ' "I
i life we may constantly delect I lie effects of
: sucl) loose and inconsiderate training. Chil- 1
I dren of larger growth are hourly using j
j words, and sometimes phrases, of the mean- j
j ing of which they have a very imperfect
knowledge. Wero the policy seen and genemlly
acted upon, of teaching ih'o young
carefully and regularly, instead of by the
present vague and unsound system, tlie
conversation of society during the next generation
would be of a mnch purer and in

! is no better si^n, perhaps, of a cultivated ]
. mind, than tiio proper use of words, with ;
the nice distinctions of which the student i
only has a knoivlo.dgp. The importance of ,
this must he apparent to the reader, as also :
that the child's information should be ns solid
as is f-uitnblo to its capacity, and care
should he taken that it is sufficiently deliberate
in arriving at conclusions. Considering,
then, the whole of these circumstances,
is the culture of tho child's mind n matter
upon which the parent should feel indiffer'
cut? It is a Sr.A- .-.m!-.:
a task no loss noble tlinn delightful.
The Duel. ~
In his Cyclopaedia of wit nnd humor, Mr.

from a work published in 1796, and
entitled "Modern Chivalry

One day he was returning home in the
