A Scotchman's Opinion of the President. ~ ? ^ .Rev.

" * Passing from these States, the re" was always a < ?-sire t<> reach the on pita 1 of this great coun trj Washington.

Fanny -Forrester. What a beautiful prayer is,the above! Who would die in the eity where the colli gaze of Mammon looks upon the hearse that contains your mortal remains with a commercial est! mate of its cost, instead of thinking, that within it is the body of a fellow being whose spirit has fled from earth ! . Of allrplaces a city is the worst for these contemplative moments which exercise so powerful an influence in restraining passionj in establishing moral principles and in directing the mind t? the consideration, of these .Important ?-ubjects which are not bounded by time and sense. The constant excitement of metropoli tan life, begets a disregard for moral restraints, and the utter abnegation^ of persona.1 identity which too frequently exist, causes the best disposed to lose the most wholesome influences of morality. - The careless ^multitude, regardless of the admonitions of, mortality whichsurround them, becoine-reckless, and .. regard, . lessness, as a necessary .consequence; begets, depravity. . .. : " Yes, bury me in the.countryP Who wquld desire to have his ashes mould in the mjdst^of ' the busy throng whose gay and hmsterbus laugh would, if spirits, can hover over their, resting place, send a pang, if possible, even, jtiv that calm and heavenly home where all sorrow, we are led to believe, is at an end ? Who would desire to have his bones interred where the encroachment of this commercial age would soon demand that they be scattered to the four winds of heaven ? Who would have over hi? grave the ribald jest of'the stranger, the coarse oath of the libertine, or the miserable slang of the scofTer*"at.all, that is pure and hj?ly ? Yet such are cit^Jburials?such are the resting places of those who are now sleeping beneath the sward bound yard of Trinity Church. The prayer of Fanny Forrester finds a response in every heart. Who that has the remeniberance of his early conntry home yet lingering in the recesses of his memory, does not say, " Let me repose ir, the humble yard where my father's remains were laid? Let me sleep under t!ie willow which bends over his grave, and which with'the wjnd. sings over it a requiem of peace to his 'ashes," ilow soon ' after Fanny uttered this prayer*"did her spirit i wing its flight from the abvfde$8f*earLli!

Mr. Winglield, ed- i itor of '-The Poultry Book," in ;i recent nnm- I ber of-thait paper, comes out in favor of this I breed of fowls as follows: J After two years'experience, we think it right i to express our firm conviction that the most I valuable domestic fowl at present known to us t is the Shanghai or Cochin China. - i i If any one conversant with poultry as i <. st ick for profit were asked to .give what Ik < considered the points of excellence desirable in t such fowls, he would reply, ' They should le t large, quick of growth, hardy, fit for the tabe c nt an. early age, meaty,'abundant layers, esj.u j r?.i;illr in'wmtpr irood mothers, nniot. in tioir t j v. 9 r ' * ? habits, and tlieir feathers valuable for thorn- s ilolsterer." - 1 Now in every one of these points do tie I Shanghais excel. The'r feathers are equal ti J those of the goose. No fowl known to us is so I gentle, or can be kept within a boundary tic \ higher than three feet. Better sitters,, or mo- i thers more careful of their chickens, cannot be t found, and at the end of one month from tlieir ;i hatching time they will again begin laying [ with their chickens around them. That they c ire early tit for the table* is told by the fact a that cockerels are best cooked when from five . ,o six months old, and pullets when from five i to six month's old, and that, if tolerably well t fed, they will weigh about 1 1-4 pounds for ev- I jrVmonth of age. As to their hardihood, we i lave not heard of their suffering'anywhere du ing the late severe weather, though we know tifinuny which endured it with no other shelter I ban ii roofed sheet, boarded up on:the north I md "east sides. As layers they" are surpassed ly" none. We have known instances of [Millets t ay ing more than 190 eggs without requiring { o sit. Pullets when six months old begin lay i ug, and continue doing so throughout the win * er. t As to their meatiness, the very great mistake I s being assented to by some breeders of this r owl, that there is mure giM^ts than meat upon t hem. It is quite true that most of the meat >n a cockerel is on the legs, hut it is not so in i he case of pullets, lor these have breasts quite i is well developed as the usual breed of barnloor fowls. Those who condemn the Sluing I tai as a bird deficient in producing serviceable t lesh, ground that condemnation on the crooked ueasted, crooked hacked, or otherwise imper- o eci birds that are rejected from I he stock.? n jood, short legged, compact pullets are too aluahle as yet to he killed lor the table, but li re can attest that such birds are as meaty on k lie breast even as Dorkings, and the flesh is o in>rc juicy, hut not so close grained. fi The sole point of inferiority, then, which can e established against the Shanghai fowls is n lint its cockerels aft deficient in breast meat, li Ten, to make the breed perfect, let breeders st about selecting birds lor stock that are n haracterized by well-developed breasts. We in now of one cock that is breasted like a Dork- in ig, and he will be coupled this season with an e; iiported hen that has the largest development lii f breast we ever know in any bird.

Tire objection is .often made by those; of the opposite sex, who are averse to the nio-' . "ral elevation - of..woman, that an intellectual woman is unfitted for the duties of domestic life; but as .very few men of intelligence are 1 among such objectors, it is not at all necessary | to bii ig any proofs to the contrary. . VVe would only hint to young ladies who ' may.not be particularly in love with' the kitch* ' : en, that no lady is fitted for the duties of life, j unless she is practically acquainted with the entire modus operandi of house keeping. Those I who have"acquired false notions of gentilftyy.

A truly intelligent and well educated woman must necessarily be a good cook and a good house keeper. Keep Your Soxs Employed.?Let play be but their occasional privilege, and they will enI joy it far more highly. Employ them iii the garden; if you have one, as work is hot play. Give them daily and regular duties 'about the house. It will do them no harm to perform i humble services. It will help you and help < them still more, to have them bring wood or coal, to scour-the knives, to make their own i beds, to keep their own room in order. You ; may thus render them highly useful, and great- i ly contTfbute to their happiness, and their fu- .1 ture welfare. Louis Phillippe the present king i of France, was in childhood and early youth, j required to wait upon himself in the humblest * office. It was through this culture that he < was trained up to be one of the most remarka- < b!e men of lite present age. >' | &o Goon Dkkd Lost.?Philosophers tells us that since the creation;of the,world not one single particle of matter has ever been lost, .ft ' may have passed into new shapes, it may have floated away in smoke or vapor, butit isnotlost. > It will come back again in,the dew drop or the" 1 rain, it willspring up in the fibre. of.'the plant! 1 or paint itself on the rose leaf. Through all its' < transformations, Providence watches o\er and directs it still. Even ?o it is with every , .holy thought or.heavenly desire, or humble aspiration, or'generous and self-denying effort. - It j may escape our observation, we may be unable 1 to follow it, but it is an element .of the moral y world, and it is notjost. _ . > A Poor Man's Wish.?I asked a student | what three things he most wished, aiid he said : j Give me health, books, and quiet, and.I ask for nothingTnore. . ijf v , . .. t ] I asked.a miser, and he said, 'fmqney, jnon* j ?y. -- - * ' < I asked a drunkard, and he loudly cried for < strong drink.

He spoke seriously, and I asked him to ex- " plain. He said: . v "I gready desire these three things?first, t that I may be found in Christ; secondly, that \ I may be like Christ; thirdly, that I may be 1 with Christ." . 1 1 have thought much of his answer, and the t more 1 think of it, the wiser It seems. ? . r A iioosier having taken a looking-glass home v in his trunk, one of his hopeful offspring was ^ curious to see the contents of the mysterious ^ box.
