[April 2", 1855 MISCELLANY. The Way it Should be Done. "Mother, how is the flour barrel ? ah! gelting low said a finely built man, as lie paused for a moment before leaving the house where his gray-head<\l parents lived ; "I must send you some I have lately bought of the No. 7 brand, just for >/mi to try; | upon my word it makes the nicest and sweet-. est biscuit that I have tasted?and you'll j say so, I think.'1 I And next day camc the barrel of flour, but not alone. There was a good supply of coftec and tea, and a dozen little niceties, and all for tlic ol<l folks to try. That mam knew the value of kind parents, lie! was a son to bo prowl of. Were an v re- j pairs to be done, lie found it out almost j iiiuiuvi'M , auu i;o never c.'iucu upon uiem i with his hands empty. Something "tlj.il ' mother loved," or would make "lather think of old times," invariably found its way into j their pantry. And lie actually seemed to I like nothing so well as to leave in their ab- j seiicc some tok"ii of fondness and respect for those who had worn their lives out in j serving him. j But ah! how many leave their parents, desolate, and in need, or give them a place by their fireside where they are expected to delve and work Out the obligations. Is it any wonder that such idnividusds, conscious that they are in the way, grow querulous and fretful, and die, perlii*j?s, unregret ted ? Others are ashamed of their honest old parents?shame on them?and keep them in some by-place, giving them a small pittance upon which they can barely subsist. A would-be fashionable young lady who had sacrificed everything to appearance, once told some of her newly-made acquaintances, that the familiar old man laboring in (lie yard, was the woodsawyer. Having gone thus far, she was base enough to carry out tlie lie, ami when he came in for a moment, and stood upon the threshold of the door with a childish smile warming his wrinkled face into sunniness as he gazed upon their merriment, instead of calling him by the dear name of father, she schooled herself to say, coldly, pointing to the yard, "we can't pay you till the whole is done." The old father gazed for a moment in astonishment, comprehended her duplicity, and turned away broken-hearted. Truly, then, the iron entered his eoul, for "0! who can tell How sharper than n servant's tootli it is , aw nave a ui an KIMS clUlri." Sweeter praise can never be than that of a dying parent, as he blesses the hand that has led Iv.m gently from sorrow, and is even Viow smoothing the cold brow damp with the spray of Jordan. And dear the thought as your tears fall upon the sod that covers the ~"*j-haircd father, that you were ever kind and"'loving to uEVi that you gave cheerfully of your abundance, and pever caused him Ho feel that you were doing a charity. Nover can we repay those ministering angels wo call father and mother.

Willingly they have suffered for us, let us bless them in our heart of hearts, and allow no love of gain or pride of position, to tear them thence. "Be kind to thy mother, for lo! on her brow may traces of bok-ow be seen; 01 well mny'flt thou cherish and comfort her now, For loving and kind has she been. r Be kind to thy father, for when thou wert young, ' None loved thee so fondly as ho; He CAUght the first accents that fell from thy tongue, / v / And smiled at thy innooenk glee," - It is the excellency of scgreat mind to triumph over all misfortunes and infelicities. *V yv ' " r V ' A > * 1 J ' t tk. Onk of tlio most interesting events of tlio day is the return of Dr. Kank's Arctic expedition. The following comprises tlio substanco of the oilicial report:? Dr. Kane, U. S., Navy, John W. Wilson, Amos lionsall, Dr. J. J. llayncs, Augustus! Son tag, Henry (Joodfellow, George Stc| phenson, William Norton, Thomas Iliekey,' ! Christian Olilesoii, Jeft'crson Baker, and! ! l'eter Schubert, left this port on Tuesday,! the :31st of May, 1S/>:1, just two years and | < seven months ago, on board tlio brig Ad-> vanoe in search of Sir John Franklin. After some bold and difficult sailing due I North, the Advance reached a bay on the | North coast of (Greenland, the headland 'of which is in Int. "7deg. 50 mill. They 'entered this bav on the loth <?f i and there the ice surrounded the brig! ! ami set lier fast. At this point the compa-1 ' iiy commenced tlieir search lor Sir John! : Franklin. | The winter was of a degree of severity ! never before recorded. Whiskey froze. The j sun was absent one hundred and twenty i days astronomically, and really, owing to J the elevation of the hills, there were one j hundred and thirty days uf darkness. This, i therefore, must be further north than the | com pan v of anv expedition have ever before i "i i. ? - ' >? IUI..IV.-U. n w:is h imic 01 extreme liardi ship. The chief enemy was tetanus, or ! lockjaw, caused |?y the severe cold. The 1 scurvy was easily subdued. j The coast of Gieenland was explored to a point where it entirely faces the north, | and the progress of the coast towards the ; Atlantic was followed until the immense glaciers or icebergs arrested the progress of - these daring adventurers. One glacier was I followed along its base a distance of eighty miles, where it was discovered to cement Greenland loan unexplored and hitherto undiscovered continent running to the Xorth. The party surveyed the4?W,tVe shores of Smith sound, which is believed to be a gulf i or hay. A new channel was discovered tending due North, entirely free frotn iec and opening into the Polar sea. The discovery of the Polar sea is regarded by l.>r. Kane sis one of tho most important; and interesting results of the expedition. The zone of ice extended in one solid mass southward, so that it became evident; that the Advance could not be liberated.! Under Qiesecircumstances, Dr. Kane volun-j teercd a communication with the Knirli.sli 1 at Lancaster sound. lie made his journey J with live volunteers in an open whale boat,! hut found solid ice to the southward, liy j this time the second winter set in. It found ! j them with abundant provisions, but. desti-; i tute of anti-scorbutics and deficient in fuoi.! : At this juncture, unable to pursue naviga-! I lion, they adopted the habits of the K?i|ui-| | niauw They returned to tlie brig, which they enveloped in moss. Thev organized i a hunting expedition, and lived on raw i meat. The winter was so severe and tliis | diet so unwholesome, that at one time the | whole crew, except two, were upon their backs with the scurvy. Three of their i brave comrades died at this distressing sca son. Dr. Kane mentioned to us this circumstance with evident emotion, for said he '1 feel great distress at the loss of our three comrades. We were all companions together in this enterprise, and had become good friends." j Two of the deceased died of lockjaw, and < ; one of abscess following amputation, j Several amputations were performed? the toes of those who had not been North I before being frost-bitten. Finding that liberation was impossible. and that tio expedition in search of them could penetrate the ice in time to avoid a third winter, Dr. Kane determined as the only measure of safety to abandon the brig and travel to the South by alternately travj elling in sledges and in boats. The sick i were conveyed in dog sledges under the imI mediate care of Dr. Kane in person, who attended to them with all the assiduity of ! his generous nature. The distance traveled I was nearly one thousand four hundred miles, three hundred nnd sixteen of which were performed in dog sledges and the balance in boat*. It was a period of great exposure nnd suffering. The party sustained themselves entirely by their guns. On the 6th of August, 1855, the party entered the Danish settlements and took passage in tiiO Danish brig Mary Ann, bound for England. They touched at Disco on the 9th of September last, where they were happily met bv the expedition under com mnnd of Capt. Hartstein. Dr. Kane im-1 mediately withdrew his contract for passage in tlio Mary Ann, and proceeded home by those vessels as above described. Captain Hartstein said that ho had with difficulty forced his way into Melville Bay, and fouud Smith Sound clothed with ice. He had learned of the Esquimaux of the departure of Dr. Kane. He then returned and met Dr. Kane at Disco, just twenty-four hours previous to the time fixed upon for the departure of the Mary Ann for England. The expedition has traveled in a lower temperature than has ever Wore beerTattempted. Minus, 46 degs., and in one case STaegs., b?lowvaer? was borne by the* party fo the'field ! trace of Sir John Fraoklin Was discovered. * , v * r. l " * j A Poetical Essay to Miss Catharine Jay.

I Nine persons sailed from Balse down the Rhine. A Jew, who wished to go to Selilauipi, was allowed to conic on board and journey with them, on condition that he j would conduct himself with propriety, and ! give tho captain eighteen kreutzcrs for his j passage. _ . .. . Now, it is true, something jingled in the j Jew's pocket when ho struck his hand j against it: but the only money therein was a twelve kreutzcr piece, for the other was! a brass button. Notwithstanding this, lie j accepted the oiler with gratitudi*, for he thought to himself, "something may be earn-. ed even upon the water. There is many a , man who has grown rich on the Rhine." j During the lirst part of the voyage, the j passengers were very talkative and merry, and tho Jew, with wallet under his arm?j for ho did not lay it aside?was the object | of much mirth and mockery, as alas! is j often the case with those of his nation., Rut as the vessel sailed onward, and passed, Thurington and St. Yelt, the passengers,! one after the other, grew silent, gazed down ! the river until one spoke out: "Come, Jew, do you know any pastime j that will amuse us ? Your fathers must} have contrived many a one during their! long slay in the wilderness." "Now is the time," thought the Jew, "toj m., el.<* !? A...11... --- -I ' vuvtu inj onwvj? . ./1IIU I1U j;iU|)UM:U IHUl j they should sit round in a circle, and pro-1 pound curious questions to each other, and lie, with their permission, would sit down by them. Those who could not answer the questions, should pay the one who propounded them a twelve kreutzer piece, and those who answered them pertinently, should receive a twelve kreutzer piece. The proposal pleased the company, and hoping to divert themselves with tho Jew's wit or stupidity, each one asked at random whatever entered his head. Thus, for example, the first one asked: "How many soft boiled eggs could a giant cat upon an empty stomach ?" All said that it was impossible to answer that question, and paid over their twelve kreutzers. But the Jew said, "One, for he who has eaten one egg, canuot cat a second on qn empty stomach," and the other paid him twelve kreutzers. Tho second thought, wait Jew, I will try you yut of the Now Testament, and I think I shall win my piece. "Why did the Apostle Paul write the Second Epistle to the Corinthians?" The Jew said, "because he was not in Corinth, otherwise he would have spoken to them." So ho won another twelve kreutzer piece. " When the third found the Jew bo well versed in the Bible, he tried him in a different way. "Who prolongs his work to as great a length as possible, and yet complete* it id tirneT . "Tbe rope maker, if be is industrious,* j said the Jew, t ' In the meanwhile they drow near tbe village, and one said to the otb$r, "that is Then the fourth said, ' in what month do the people Bamlach eat, tfce leiat Iy ' * I uic Jew said in February; lor that linn j ; only twenty-eight days." | lift It said, "there aro tsvo natural ! brothers, and still only one of them is niv ; unelu J" { The .low said, **tlio uuele U vour lather's, ' brother, tuid your father is not vour uncle." i i A fish now jumped out of the water, and j I thu sixth itsked, "what li->h have their eyes ! 1 nearest t?>ij<rtli<*r ?" 4,Tln- .lew said, "the smallest." The seventh man asked, ''how can a man rid from H.iilo to I'crno in the shade, iti 1 the ruimnier time, when the sun fchiues." i The Jew Haiti, "When I to comes to a! place where there is no j-liade, he mu*t dis-' mount and go on lout." !, The ei<r|itli asked, "When a man rides in , the winter time from I'enie to liasle r\n?l j has lol'irol ll'll lli'-l I rli ii'< ?...

The Jew said, "the lart must take the'dibh with the egg, and let it lay there as long as ho pleases ?" But now it cario to his turn, and h>" de ( termiued to make a good sweep. After j many preliminary compliments, ho asked, i with an air of mischievous friendliness ? "How can a man fry two trout in three pans, so that a trout may lay in each pan V [ No one could answer this, and one after ; < another gave him a twelve kreutzer piece, j I But when the ninth desired that he j < should answer it himself, he frankly no-1 knowlcdged that the trout could not be j' fried that way ! ! 1 Then it was maintained that this was un-' ' fair in (he .Tew, buth?? stoutly affirmed that ! ' there was no provision fur it in the agree- ' ment. save that ho who could not answer 1 the ijuestiona should pay the kreutzers; f and fulfilled the agreement by paying that t sum to tho ninth of his comrades, who had * asked him to solve it himself.

American papers arc: remarking on the : alienee of all literary effort in tin; Crimea,: and are (herein noting?very mnch to j their own glory?a characteristic difference i between the surroundings of an American ! and of an Kncrli?h nrinv. The contrast is' fair; the self-laudation is not unjust. Our I readers know that when the "Yankees"'j marched into Mexico they carried with j iliein a printing press, and published a newsrnner along the line of invasion. Across prai-1 ri"s, through dangerous passes, over moun-j t;iin ranges, sometimes on mules, oflcner on j nn-n's shoulders, occasionally in wagons, | travelled press, paper, type, and ink, editors, contributors, compositors, and pressmen? fighting, foraging, writing, working onward. Infinite were (he uses of the press. It carried orders through (he camp. Every morning (he soldier read in it (he story of (ho previous day. It. anticipated the gazettes: it disseminated orders of the day; it perpetuated the gossip of the camp; reflected public opinion in (he army ; made known every want; supplied every information; exer-J riMiw, inspired, ana ammatou every Heart.? Had the Americans been in the Crimea they would have had daily papers at Balaklava, Eupatoria, Ycnikale, and Constant-!- i nople; and theso papers, reflecting the humors, incidents, and life of the camp, i would have ranked among the best liistori- ; cal documents on the war. As it is, our Boldiers in the Crimea aro indebted to the London journals for authentic information of what occurs in the camp itself and within a mile or two of their tents. Jonathan is far ahead of us in some respects. London Athenaum. The Rights ok Schoolmasters and Parents.?A case of considerable interest was tried before Justice Ladd.of Cambridge, 1 on Saturday. A citizen of Newton was 1 complained of for an assault upon the master of a school of that place. It appeared that the master was in the habit, as ip now the general custom, of keeping the child of defendant with other scholars, after school hours, to learn her lessons which had been | imperfectly recited during echool hours. The parent believing that the detention was illegal, went to the school house and demanded his child. This was after regular school hours. The master said that the child should go as soon as she bad recited her lesson. The parent attempted to enter the school room to take his child, but his cntranco was resisted by the master, and the assanlt upon the master was the result. The court ruled that the keeping pf a child until the lessons of the day had been perfected, was legal; that the parent, in oppo* sition to the will of the master, was in the wrong; that a child placed at school by the parent is uuder the control of the mastar, until - regularly dismissed, and that I ft tmtraai nannaf .

The increased charges for freight nni passengers on tlio Greenville Kailroad lnu excited some displeasure with those whc are not stockholders in the Company. The\ who never subscribed to build the Road, 01 subscribed very inadequately il* they did uro quite clamorous. There may be others \vho complain, and to such especially wt wouKPhdtlress a few words. Wo take the charges paid by pa-scnger' to Columbia, and it will bo agon that they save just live dollars in going by railro.no insto:i"I of stages. This is not all; the; save one day's time, which, to business men - " *r i-i Mciiiuuiiiii;. .Moreover, Uicy save two day> jolting in a .stage-conch in hot weather, 01 coM weather, or moderato weather, which is something, also, to a man who regards hicoml'ort, bodily and mentally. The passage to Columbia by railroad is seven dollars, and breakfast with our friend 1 ?i oyles is fifty cents. The passengers reach Columbia to dinner. Seven dollar* and lifty cents is all the expenses incurred by railroad, and you ride pleasantly or cushioned seats, without a jolt. 13y stage, the charge was ten dollar:;? fifty cents for bieakfast at Col. McNeeley's fifty cents for dinner at Mr. Little's, one dollar for supper and lodging at Newberry, and fifty cents for breakfast at Mr. Summer's? making twelve dollars and fifty cents. Sub tract from this amount seven dollars and fifty cenls, the expenses on the Railroad, and you have five dollars saved, besides the lay's time, the thousand and one. jolts, and the bodily suffering in hot weather and in :-oM weather! Xow, in all candor, we ask why is it that ive abuse a Railroad, or the Directors of a Railroad, for this saving of money, time md suffering! Uecause, says the grtnbler, .he saving might be more, and ought to be nore, and is more on all the other railViads ? Wi?ll nrlmiflln/v 4~ l - I III ia iu U?! iriU% Hill there is no injury done the t raveler bv his change in the mode of travelling. But ire the Directors to blame ? They have ess freight and less travel on their Ryad ban on the other Southern railroads, on nc^''in,r\vanVft ol"t>TlsfiV??s~~??*o. If they had nore freight and more passengers, they :ould atl'ord to charge less. But it is said that the Railroad is a pubic matter, and was intended for public aclommodation. This may be very true in >art. But we must remember, also, that be Road is private properly, and owned by >rivate s'ockholdeis, who ought to have ?>me leg;!i\l t-.> their own interest as well as lie interest of (he public. Not only they ,vho subscribed, but those who did not subscribe, ride alike over the Road. The Company is in debt, and have a right o try and m;ikc enough to pay their debts. This is honest and praiseworthy, and no >nc ought to object to it. The Company lo not force a man to ride on their road or o send his goods by tho Road. It is a vol intnry thing on his part, and he has no right to complain. A man who subscribes sixty-thousand lollars, as Mr. McBee did, ought to see thai bis stock yields him something. But it will be said by those who art: not stockholders, that the Company would make more by i-.harging less. It is light and fair, however, to permit the Company to judge of this matter for themselves. Not one dollar yet has a stockholder received on his stock during the last seven or eight years! With what face, knowing this fact, can a passenger complain of his charges? If the Company were dividing enormous profits on stock, then it might be a matter of complaint, having a charter from the State which excludes competition. But it is the way of the world, if you do a man a favoi he will think, after awhile, you ought to do him a greater one, and if you refuso or cannot, he will abuso you for it. Southern Patriot.

The men now strut the streets with , their pantaloons tightly buttoned, side ? * by side with the women, whose skirts or . petticoats are firmly bound" around their ! persons. Upon a fair view the evil is the , same in both cases; pressure upon the vital organs, impairment of their propwr attfoto, I want of development, de^wity,di?ea?& r and premature death.
