Tho Privato 01o?et. The Lodge of 1. O. of O. I'\, at Woodstown, determined to have tho lodgo room done up clean and nice, and it was resolved unanimously that Mrs. K. t-hould be employdc to do tho job. After tho meeting had adjourned, the guardian, who knew tho inquisitiveness of! Mrs. K., procured a billv coat, ami placed hill) in a closet that was kept as a reservoir ' for tho secret things, lie then informed j the lady of the wishes of the lodge, and nquested her to come early next morning, as i 110 would then be at leisure to bliovv her what was not to be done. Morning came, and with it Madame I\., i with her broom, hiushef, pails, tub*. A:c., J prepared ami armed for the job, and found , tbe guardian waiting for her.

The noise and confusion occasioned by such unceremonious coming down stairs, j drew half the town to witness Mrs. K's el torts to get from under tlie pile of pails j tubs, brooms and brushes, into the street. i Who should be the liist on the spot but tho rascally doorkeeper; who, after releas- i ing the goat, which was crippled for bf<\ | and uplifting tho rubbish which hound the i good woyian to the earth, anxiously iuquir oil if.she was taking the degree*:. j ' Taking the degrees," she exclaimed.

God never ! ? wrought miracles to convince Atheists, be-| cause Ilis ordinary works are sufficient to convinoe them. It is true, that a little j philosophy inclineth men's njinds lo Ailie- | ism ;; but depth in philosophy bringeth tliem i back to religyfcp ;for while the mind of man ! look^th upon second causes scattered, it may sometimes rest on them, aud go no further; but when it beholdeth the chain of them confederate and linked together, it must needs fly to Providence and Deity.

( Hut at a less external heat than 70 deg. the water should he warm, or at least tepid. A sudden cold chill on the surface of the body is prejudicial to health ; it cheeks the circulation of tho blood to the external surface, interferes with the secretions, and particularly arrests the excreting power of the skin. It is a popular belief with mothers, that ! washing young children daily, in cold water, ; makes them hardy.

Allow live minutes for this operation. rr? - mere is yet another .plan, superior in j some of its effects to all tnat 1ms preceded it; at night, when you go to bed, and whenever you get out of bed during the night, upend from two to five minutes rubbing your whole bodv ami limbs with your hands, as far as you can reach in every direction ; let it bo done briskly, quickly and hard-. T>v this practice the softness. and mobility of the skin will be preserved, which too frequent washing has a tendency to destroy.

Mllllil II I Tho Publicity of Crime. >Y o cxlriu't from (In- Journalof < 'oiiiiih rr> the full iwinij remarks with rcfereiico to the increased publicity given to crime through tlic public journals, nn<l tlic false nml cxn^i'mtcil view <>f American life which is thus presented : To Judge from the newspapers, this people in desperately wirked. In no country, is sneli publicity {riven to erime and nil sort a of naughtiness. Such are tin: facilities for transmitting intelligence, that every great crime perpetrated, i.. in ji day or t wo published nil over the Union. Nearly every arrest by the Police, even for trivial misdemeanors, finds its way into the newspapers. Tho culprit of the inland and secluded village, who goes to rest in the consciousness of fancied secrecy, awakes to find the records of his guilt scattered broad cast over ?lio bind ; while the details of metro, politnn depravity* :ire rend with open mouthed wonder in the buck woods and on the distant prairies. Tlicre is no longer seclusion or secrecy for crime, it is read mid known of all men. Though it flee to the uttermost parts of the earth, it is pursued and dragged to light by those bloodhounds ofciv ili/.ation, steam, the printing-press, and the eleetiie telegraph. We shall not here discuss the niic?t:on wlicth;r or not. this increased publieiiv given to :rime is wholesome in itself, and advantage>U8 to the ends of justice; or whether it is not tiore than counterbalanced by the morbid ;aste which it footers in the public mind. Hut .lie picture of American life thus presented by lie press, is exaggerated and distorted, and cuds to mislead the stranger and the thoughtess reader. We forget that, there is no telegraph to communicate, no press to chronicle lie private virtues, as well as the public wickedness of the people ; to record the unobtrusive chant ies and nameless benignities wtieh ?raee and enrich social and domestic life. Those jnii-t uiiil uioile.it. f.MiiH of benevolence mid ?icty which minister to the wants of frail and .ullering humanity ; the patience, disinterestidness, Hinl self-eaeriliee of parents, mothers, iisLors, friends ; the bold physical) battling with the King Terrors in the seclusion of he sick chamber ; the clergyman standing uanfully by hi# post, without, reward, endeav>ritig to give rcl ef; the prayers and kind ofli:es ol''stranger", the manly attributes of friendship, and the sweet voice of religion,?these .lo not seek the glare of day, or the notoriety if the press; but it is in these that man's better nature and humanity triumph. The best things in life and the best side of human nature are not always reported in the tiewspa I'ers ; and were it not for tin? general alth -ti<;h perhaps unconscious recognition -fthis fr.et. the damp sheet would bo often dropped in the morning with a stifled cry of disgust?almost despair. The Treaty with China. The following extract presents a summary of the various stipulations contained in the late treaty with China : The principal of these are, the opening of the Chinese Empire to the world, with liberty to foreigners to travel there us they please, u tiler a passport system ; the toleration of Christianity ; the establishment of direct diploma Lie intercourse with the Court of IVkiti through representatives of ;he foreign powers resident nt Tien-bin ; the opening to commerce o( ihe Yang tze Kiang (Son of the Ocean) tin: Missis iippi of China from its source to its month, and if nine new ports ; and a liberal revision of t,hS*eustonis tariil's and an adjustment of the inkind' duties. Those concessions on the part of China constitute a complete revolution in the political ;md commercial system of that vast empire, and, if carried out. in a fair and honorable manner on the part of the Chinese, and in a spirit of kindness and liberality on the part, of the foreign nations, they cannot fail to be productive of the utmost advantage to all parties. The Americans, English, French and Russians will reap the profits of an immensely extended trade, and the Chinese, while they obtain their shares of those profits, will aUo gain to an incalculable extent, by the additions to their social comfort and moral and material "prosperity, which must remit frnrn intimate intercourse with the most civilized and refincd/?natinioi r.f !???

Never do Vou many a young woman, John, before you have contrived to happen at the house where she lives, at least four or five -linvs before breakfast. You should know hotv late she lies in bed in the morning. You should notice whether her complexion is the same in the morning as it is in the evening, or whether the morning wash and the towel have robbed her of her evening bloom. You should take care to surprise her, so that you may soe her in the morning dress, and observe how her hair looks when she is not expecting you. If possible, you should be where yon could hear the morning conversation between her and her mother. If she is ill natured and snappish to her mother, so she will be to you. depend on it. Hut if you find her up and dressed neatly in the morning with the same countenance, the same neatly combed hair, the same ready and pleasant answers to her mother, which characterize her appearance ami deport merit in the evening, and particularly if she is lending a hand to get the breakfast ready in good season, she is a prize, John, and the sooner you secure her to yourself the better. Gekvisk Eloquence.?There is no people in the world with whom eloquence is so universal a gift as the Irish. When Leitch Ritchie was traveling in Ireland, he passed a man who wasn painful spectacle of p?|lor, squalor, and rtfggedness. His heart smote him, and ho turned back. 'Ifyou are in want,' said Ritchie, with some degree of peevishness, "wfiy don't you beg?" Sure it's begging I am, yer honor." "You did'nt Ray a word." "Ov coorse not, yer honor ; but see bow the skin is speakin' through ' the holes of my trousers ! and the bones cry in* out through me. skin !
