Emancipation has, beyond question, betteied the physical condition of the negro, and has opened to him avenues of intellectual Improvemsnt. We may hope too, in time r ^that his moral nature may become more highly cul tivated, though his advancement in that particular has been much like that of the frog that climbed one foot in the day and fell back two at night. But It has swept away the Ethiopian of poetry and romance. The jolly African, upon whoso, smooth', round face cure never traced a line, and who was always ready for a laugh or a song, is now rarely to be found. ’Twos no stretch or fancy to depict such an one untying his canoe at the close of u day’s labors and setting forth upon the waters by the moon’s friendly light, to visit the cabin of his dearest Mae. No touch of sadness lingered in the song vrith which he made banks and hills who. Now, we do not say that euro for the future renders him too anxious to be gay.

To Prevent Btovks mom Smoxiko — There Is a very simple way of avoid ing the disagreeable smoke and gas which always pour Into the rooms when a fire Is lit In a stove, hea’er, or flrs-plaoe-efr a damp day. Put la the wood and coal as usual, but before lighting them, ignite a handful of paper or shavings ; placed on top of the coal. This produces a current of but air in the chltmuiy, which draws up the gas and smoke at once. Not one person out of every fifty ever thinks of this easy expedient.

The difference between tnem is that the weight of a body on a aoft bed presses on a larger surface than upon a hard bed, and eonsequsntly more comfort is enjoyed. Hard beds should never be given to ChtHflbn, and parents who sup pose that such beds Contribute to health by hardening and developing the consti tution r are su&dy in error. Eminent physicians—both here and in England— concur in this opinion, and say hard beds have often proved injurious to the shape of infants. Birds and nnimnls .cover their offspring with the gSftcst materials they can obtain, and a’so make soft beds for them; sod the soft ness of a bed ’ is not at> evidence ef its beilg unwholesome. Rut if it is not kept sweet unA clean by daily airings and frequlent beatings, whether jt i* hard er soft, it is surely ipjurioos to health. ■ — m —wf A Dutch paper states that the Savor of coffee may be greatly unproved orjd its delicate aroma increased, by adding a little hi carbonate oT boda to tire with which it is made.
