"We repeat that it is impossible to raise
girls as high intellectually without boys as
with them ; and it is impossible to raise boys
morally as high without girls. The girls:
morally elevate the boys, and the boys intellectually
elevate the girls. But more than
this, girls themselves are morally elevated by
the presence of boys, and boys are intellectually
elevated by the presenco of girls.?
Girls bought up with hoys are more positively

with girls ate more positively intellectual

Mistakes of a Wight.
A rni*MD who was witness to the scone,
describes the following ludicrous incident
which occurred on board the night train
from New York. Two married couples took
eats in the cars at Now York, bound for
Boston, in closo proximity, and about eight
o'clock they both indulged in balmy sluui- I
bers, the heads of the wives resting upon
their husbands' shoulders. When the cars
reached Worcester the gentlemen stepped
out. and the ladies apparently exhausted. I
slept on. The delay was brief, and on ro- !
entering the cans, the husbands, whoso eyes
were scarcely opened, exchanged seat*, and
in a few moments resumed their natural position,
and wore soon in the land of dreams.
At Frnminghnm the cars stopped again,
when one of the ladies said : "Will you have
time to get mo a drink of water hoie?"?
The affrighted gentleman, not recognizing
the music of his wife's voice, exclaimed :?
"By heavens, have I made a mistake? This
isn't you, Tilly ?" "No," exclaimed the lady,
"and you ain't my husband." "Perhaps we
had tetter exchange Rents," exclaimed the
husband in the scat immediately in the rear,
who had awoke, "for there's a slight mistake
here." The second Indy, too fatigued,
did not awake, and as the temporary husband
endearored to shift his burden so as to
move, she merely ejaculated, "Do keep still."

Truth Stranger than Fiction,
Last winter a gentleman in New York,
connected with the Mission Sunday School
of Dr. Alexander's church, found rv little
girl selling candies and apples on the corner
of the Park one Sunday morning. The
child was scantily clad and the morning was ,
bitter cold. The girl's appearance, in other
respect*,, indicated suffering, and perhaps
abuse. The gentleman invited her to go to
Sunday School. The child was willing, but
could not go, because the wornao with
whom she lived obliged her to sell on Sun
day* as well a9 other day*. The evident
distress of the child led the gentleman to
make Inquiry. It was found tlmt she had '
neither father nor mother, (both having died
of ship fever,) that the woman with whom
she lived, who was a regular old harridan,
had no legal claim to her, perhaps bad stolen
her, autf Jbat there was gross cruelty and
hardship in the whole business. The teach- i
rs of the Sunday school, for a while, paid i
iii? old wOHia-i fifty CvHUa Burvhy, (which
ww about what tiie girl could make by selling,)and
thus secured for her the privilege of;
attending the School. Hut when ii leaked
out that there was fraud us well as cruelty
in the caw, they took steps to have Iter placed
under the care of tho law. She w;is
sent to the asylum, and tbenco to a farmhouse
in the country. In.the latter place,
tho lady to whom she was bound out was so
muclvstruck with her manners and character,
that she questioned her closely about
her reminiscences of early childhood. The
little girl recollected that she had come from
. England in a ship with her father and mother.
She reoolJeeted Imr grandfather's name,
and some other circumstance*, by which
eventually the town and country were ascertained,
The lady then wrote to England,
and sooa received the joyful intelligence
that the grand-parent* were both living in
Heitlag, Kent Co., England. The family
were substantial fanner*, and forthwith sent
fund* to bring the loet one home. She went
accordingly, in jhe next stenirter, and i* now I

I now comes up hanJsomoly to Mr. Richard !

J affairs is act forth, The writer is somewhat j
' despolulent With res|>cct to Col. Walker s!
permanent success. lie also speaks with
apprehension of the stato of affairs between :
this country and England. Both nations have 4
vessels of war oft' the coast, and the opinion j
j is there universal that England will enforce 1
her protectorate pretension. I do not share
in tho apprehensions, for reasons already as- I
signed. ,
The Senate wero in Executive session j I
some time to-day. They despatched a largo 1
batch of appointments. Quite an animated
debate took place on the propriety of con-!
aidering the recent action of the Naval!
Board with closed doors. Mr. Clapton ad-j
v oca ted it at some length. Mr. Bayard
pitched into tho immortal Fifteen, and show- 1
od them up in their true light. A majority 1
of the Senate, I understand, will advocate,
open doors during the discussion.
It is the intention of the Batiks men to |
oflcr the plurality rule every day until some- j-l
thing is effected. Mr. Williams, of New 1
York, moved it today, and it was tabled ?
Mr. Campbell voting against it. The anti- 1
Nebraska caucus resulted in bringing back
the refractory members.
A distinguished functionary of the government
stated to-day, in conversation, that I
war botwecn tho United States ami England
would occur within vixty days. The

Gen- Whitfield?Kansas.
"An Observer," a Washington correspondent
of tho Richmond Enquirer, makes mention
of Gen. Whitfield, the legally chosen
delegate from Kansas Territ>ry, as follows:
The regular delegate from that Territory,
General Whitfield, is hove, and seems one of
the most unconcerned spectators of the contest
which shadows forth tho struggle that
j.i to rise over his own right 11 u scat in
Congress. Indeed, lie nvoiv.s that lie "cares
not a fig how tins .pestion is decided, so far
as his own porsonal interests are affected,"
that if unseated, ho "can go back upon his 1
(>];lilll in K'ntuia nn.t tl./ir. !./? .Aiii-'-i ...ill I
begin." lie thinks tlicro may be blood ,
shed in the present difficulties, ami lie thinks
there certainly will he if Congress adopts
the State Constitution of tho anti-slavery (
party in Kansas, and admits that Territory
as a free State. II) declares that now is (
the time for the South to save Kansas?that',
unless enough Southern men go there dur" j
ing the winter and spring to countermine j
the nothern emigration, tho Southern party '
\\*U he overruled. The Abolitionists arc! |
making strenuous efforts to secure nn a*-; I
cendaney in Kansas, and will succeed in so , '
doing unless the South sustain* her friends in i1
that quarter. Whitfield is a hold. re*olute ; |
fellow,somewhat upon the "rough and ready*" i
order, and well qualified, we should think..1
to bo a leader in such a struggle as that <-f,1
which Kansas is tho arena. Hut enough.1

One of the agents of Adams' Express

small pox in that city, and would now respectfully
call upon the n to announce the
fact or explain the circumstances nbovc alluded

Making a NeedleI
wonder if any little girl who may read <

which the every ?hiy uses. Wlnt can he r

a needlo factory. t
In going over the premises we most pus* i
hither and' thither, and walk into the next I
street and husk again, ami take a drive to a
mill, in order to see the whole proceaa. We I
find ono chamber of the shop* U hung round <
with coils of bright wiro, of all thicknesses, i
from the stout kinds used for codti-di hooks /
to that of the linest cambric noodloa. In a i
room below, bit* of wire the length of two c

in the wall. A bundle lias been cut off; I
the bits needs straightening, for they have I
just come off from coils. Tiio -bundle is c
thrown into a red-hot furnaee; and then r
taken out and rolled backward and forward i
on a table ur.til tho wires are straight. This *
process is called "rubbing straight." Ws s
?aw a mill for grinding needles. We go i
town and find a needle pointer seated on his

wires and rolls them between bis thumb and s

Tmc most superficial observer ennnot fail
to have perceived, at times, tbe truth of the
adage, that some men will thrive whero others
would starve. In no class is this fact
more apparent than among farmers. The
reason why there are so many thriftless farmer.*,
lies not so much ie their lack of industry,
as in the lack of perception and calculation?perception
of the means necessary to
produce a given result, with the least possible
expenditure of force.
Wc know of some farmers who toil with
[he most indefatigable industry from year to
y ear, and-vet thoy remain as thriftless as ev r.
The tact is, their labors aro misdirected,
riiey take everything the hardest way.?
I'hey aro sure to do two days' woik to nc omplish
every job, where, with a little cal ulatiou,
a little figuring, a littlo counting of

litching, &o., we think that man is laboring
inrd to make himself poorer.
When tho farmer spends a week in the
all carting hi* manure to the field, and there
Icposits it in a heap, to await further operaion*
in the spring, we say to ournelf, (am) to

Kindred dollars over and above what is neensary
