The Way to Spoil Girl. -If any person whisbes a neceip how to spoil daogbters, it cao be easily and readily given, and be proved by the experience of hundreds to . be certain and efficacious. t. Be always telling ber, from e&rlieit childhood, what a beautiful creature she is. It is a hrantiful way of inflating vanity of a little girl, lo constantly exclaiming. "How pretty!" Chil-J dren understand such flattery even when in the - narseV arms, and the evil i done to the character in its earliest formation, 2. Begin as soon as she can toddle aroond to rig ber up in fasionable clothes and rich dresses. Put a boop upon her at once, with all the artificial adornments of flounces feathers, flowers, and curls. Fondness for dress will thus become . a prominent characteristic, and will usurp the wboie attention oi me young mortal, ana oe a : long step toward spoiling her. . 3. Ll per visit so much, tnat sne nnds so happioes at home, and therefore will not be apt to stay there and learn home duties. It is a capital thing for a spoiled daughter to - seek all l ! 3Ber happiness io visiting and change of place suid associates. , Sae will thus grow, as useless as modern fashionable parents delight that their daughters should be. 4. : Let her reading consist of novels of the nausiatingly sentimental kind. She will be - spoiled sooner than if -she pursued history of science. Her heart will 'be occupied by ficti- - tious scenes and feelings; her mind filled with unrealities; her afra placed o fashions and dress, romantic attachments? 5. Be careful that her education gives ber .a imaltering of all' the .accomplUhjnenta, with- ' out the slightest knowledge of the things aseful V ia life. Your daughter won't be spoiled so long ' a she has real dcaire to be useful in the world, and aims at its accomplishments. If her mind and time are occupied in modern accomplish- inenU, there will lae no thought of the aeesity and virtua of being 'aome teal use to . somebody, : - pervading her heart, she will soon be ready as a '. spoiled daughter. 6.

The elephants Victoria and Albert formerly exhibited by Sand, Nathan t Co., through the rountry and in the Broadway Theatre, New York, were taken to California about a year and a half ago by Dr. Bassett, and sold to a travelling company. In June last, in crossing a swift little river some two hundred feet across it was found impracticable to ferry the hoge animals Over, and Albert took to the water followed by.Victoria. The current was so strong that itHook both elephants down the stream about one mile, and over the fail among the rocks. Victoria floated ashore, atid got out among the rocks, and 'find ing Albert missing, she commenced throwing her trunk up in the air, bellowing so load that she was heard two miles off. Sbe got so wild that the keeper wm afraid she would do some damage, consequently he stnek the spear. iBto her ear. The company came running, to assist in getting the elephants out; and when they all got down where they were. Albeit was just getting out himself, and looking and acting very wild. It made a great scattering; some jumping down rocks, others climbing up them. A no sician jumping into the river, hid himself under a bush for so long a time that he lost the band wagon, and was compelled to walk twelve miles to Murphy's Camp. The keeper finally got both elephants together, and drove them to- town. They performed a well as ever, apparently, a'jd continued performing there op to the 2 1st of June, when Victoria commenced to fail, and looked very bad out of her eyes. - However, the proprietors'did not think that anything was the matter, more than a cold caught in the river until the company arrived in Iowa City, June 25th.. There she fell to rise no more. Albert was trying to raise ber with his trnnk, but in vain consequently she was left with her keeper and mate; and on June 28th, at 6 o'clock, she died. Two physicians dissected her to ascertain the canae of her .death. She was perfectly sound, with the exception of ber heart. That had been burst or broken the day she lost her mate in the river. She was bnried in the first ring that was made in that town. Her loss to her owner is supposed to be 15,000. Great numbers of peo pie assembled at her last resting plaee. An Elephant Swimmion; the Ohio. The people of Cincinnati enjoyed rather a novel scene a few days ago in the crossing of the Ohio River by Dan Bice's tamed , elephant, "Lalia Rookh." A crowd gathered to see the huge beast make the trip from the Kentucky side, and the Commercial says everything being in readiness the elephant plonged into the water, but was immdiateljf.lost. to sieht. The" cooling effects of the fluid were eo agreeable "that her ladyship seemed disposed to neglect the tank as signed her, and regardless of the expectations of the assembled multitude, roll and splash around at her ease. ; The exertions of her keeper, who piloted her iu a skiff, soon brought her to a sense of her duty, and aha struck oat manfully into the stream. At time nothing but the end of her trunk would be visible, then the top of ber bead, and again be would , dire . entirely out of sight, remaining . under water., until those on shore began to think aha was drowsed, when of sadden sbe would come to las sort ace, with a aurge that would throw her huge bulk half-way out of the water. . . Thua she proceeded,-until opposite the Coriog- too ferry jandiog, .when an amusing jocidont occurred.

BE CAEEFUL T7HAT YOU BAT BE-: FOEE CHLLDEE1T., .. ' Tt is always well to avoid saying anything that is improper, but especially so before children; and her parents as well as others are often ia fault. Children have as many ear - as grown persons, and they are generally more attentive to what is said before them. What they bear they are' very apt to repeat; and as they have no discretion and not sufficient knowledge of the world to disguis anything, it ia generally found that "children and fools speak the truth." Sea that boy's eyes glisten while you are speaking of a neighbor's language that you would uot have repeated. He does not fully understand what you mean, but be wiliremember every word; and it will be strange if he does not cause you to blash ky the repetition. . - A gentleman was in the habit of calling at a neighbor's house, and the lady bad always ex pressed to him much pleasure ia seeing bim.

" Why not, my little man?" he continued.: - "'Because mother don't want yoa to come," said George. Here the mother looked daggers at her little son, and became crimson. But he saw nothing. "Indeed; how do you know that, George?" "Because she said yesterday that she wished that old" bore would- not call again." The gen tlemau's hat was soon in requisition, and he left wiihthe impression that ''tru th is mighty -and must prevail." '. ' Another child looked sharply into the face of a visitor, and being asked wbat she meant by it replied ''I wanted to see if you had a drop in your eye; I have heard mother saj that you have. rrequentlj." - -' A boy once asked his father who it was that lived -next door to him, and when he heard the name inquired if he was not a fool. No, my little friend, he is sot a fool, but a very sensible man. " But, why did you ask the question ?" "Because," replied the boy, "mother said the other day that you were next door to a fool and I wanted to know who lived next door to you." ' " " "Mother sent me said a little girl toa neigh bor, "to come and ask you to take tea with her this evening." Did she say at what time, my dear?". "No; ma'am: she only said she would ask you,-and then the: thing would be off her miod; that's elf she said." i Smart Children. - The following brief -but r seasible article we have clipped from an Eastern scientific journal, in which it appears without credit;-1 The writer of it, however he or "she may be, is at once a philosopher and philanthropist.

THE HAS3ACBX AT DAIIASCUS, " The following are ex afts of letters from a European rasideet in L mascus- to a (rieod in Beyroutr A ; ' 1V; - -. DAMAsetra, July 10, Id. A. 21. A few mia- ites after I closed my le'er pfyestt rday, an ep roar commenced in tbe c reet opposite my bouse, the Moslems men, worr n, and boys began to assemble, crying out hsf all . should . go to the Christian quarter to plut jer, burn and massacre, and threatening not to leave a house or j, Chris tiaa. I went to the street and . spoke to them, hoping it woe Id come tanotbing.. It grew rap. idly worse, : Every one as calling to others not to come without arms, ajd the women were violently exciting the men. There was aome fear expressed of the soldierSjjDut most declared that the soldiers would not : isterfere with them. I now found it prudent to ake the advice of some of my neighbors and keep inside of toy house. The street past my bouse is about the shortest road from the Sbughootand the Meed an, the two worst districts in the:ity. 8doo after I went into my house the ruffians began to return from the Christian quarters with burdens of plunder, while the number running toward it were increas ing, and threats, imprecations, and jells were numerous and loud. Every sort and size of thing was carried past my r house mares and goats, gold and iron - noils, silks and cottons, chests large and small, tables, chairs, books, and every imaginable article.' There was a regular stream of these plunderers past my door till aome time after sunset nearly jfive houis. Afterwards they became fewer, but jhey never ceased all night, and with the dawn', they again increased. As soon as they r hd plundered some of the booses they set them on Gre: . - During the night, though there was clear moonlight, the names and smoke presented a eight as grand as it was awful. During the first half of the night the flames presented an unbroken arch of a circle, as viewed from my roof, 6T more than 70 deg., extending from a little North of Bab Shurky to the extreme North point of the Christian quarter o wards morning -the arc become shorter, parti, because it, ' been af adllTpproachi.ng meLnd the ChrisUMtquar ter a it comes this way grows narrower, and partly, perhaps, because the line of fire was not sweeping all the houses on the North border of the quarter.-. Towards morning the flames also became lower, or less violent, on most parts of the line, and fewer bouses were in flames at onee. Still the fire is raging fearfully. There has beea an increasing tumult of cries, of the fire, of breaking open houses, &c, all mingled up together. I have no means of guessiog the amount of murder committed. Last night comparatively few appear to have been killed, but there is said to have been more butchery this morning. I cannot go out ofmy door without being in the midst of the hellish ruffians thirsting and crying f r blood and plunder. Ifxne of the native Christians in my house were to go out, I believe be could not reach the corner of the street alive. So my means of information beyond what I see and hear of the flames and tumuli and plunder are very limited. . We overhear a good deal of their talk in the street and some of the talk of our Moslem neighbors on the rof. ; ' LiTEapooL, Ang. 4. . . The details of the massacre and robbery of the Christians at Damascus in the early part of July, which have now come to hand, are of the moat horrifying kind. The number actually butchered, is set down at 2,000, and the loss of property at a million and a quarter. The writers one aod all, declare the complicity of the 'Turkish authorities in the butchery and plunder. Not only did the troops of the Government not afford any protection , but they assisted to slaughter and pillage the unoffending Christians. According to letters from the scene, the massacre had been long planned, sod was on the most gi gantlo scale to annihilate,' at one fell swoop, the wnoie ot tne vnnsiian population. 1 his ap pears to be the impression also at Constanlfnople, a recent letter from 'which says ' 'that the plot which has been worked out in Syria has been to crush nd humble the whole Christian popula tion, and to raise the Moslem' fanaticism, which was thought to be extinct."

It lay across sev. era emaU gulches, aod was partly baried ia .the soil.; Ita length, so far as measured, the too he- ing deep ander gnmnd, was 666 feet, and the general opinion of the- eompsmy, looking at it, was that at was from 40 to 60 feet in diameter. Enormous treei Capt. Stevens thinks it is of the same species aS the trees of Mariposa. Fragment of other trees of the same kind, bat smaller, are visible here and there stumps and butts of thirty feet length all petrified. And it is more than probable that a little exca vation woald discover a vast primeval forest there buried. This lies exactly where it fell centnries ago, for there are the op-turned roots, in just the position they would naturally be, and the prone trunk bears no evidence of having been disturbed. It seems strange that the remains of a great forest ehould thus be found in a country now wholly destitute of any sort of living growth whatever, except sage, brush, and greasewood, for a hundred miles aroand. A specimen of the petrifaction may be seen at the office of - D r. Thorn pso n, taken from the tree at a distance of 200 feet from the base. It is only a half inch thick, but contains the marks of six years growth. Since penning the above, our friend Champ- I.i n, a member of Capt, Stevens' company, has called on ns and shown ns a specimen of the big tree alluded to. It is verv Curious to Took at. The petrification in the specimen before ns plain ly indicates the part of the tree from which it was taken, it being the sap and rings next to it. He showed us also a' petrifaction of fat pine, which he struck, from a petrified Stump in the same vicinity. It looks so natural that you can almost fancy you smell the resin, when yon put your nose to it. It is certainly a marvelous pre serration, a material record as durable as time.

A cor respondent of the Utice Herald writea that the Tllage of Mohawk has been thrown into great excitement by the finding of the dead body of a young girl in the canal of that ploce. The, cir cumstances, as they appeared on the coroner's inquest, are thus narrated: "Abbey Kelley Bowe, daeghterof O. A. Bowe, deceased, and formerly editor of the Herkimer Journal, left Frankfort on the night of the 10th instant for Herkimer, on the cars. Arriving at that place about haif-past nine, she" there took the omnibus for Mohawk; arriving there she got out at the tavern to goto her 'boarding-house which was the last seen of her alive. ' At about half-past eleven o'clock her screams were "heard hy neighbors living not far distant from the spot where her body was found. She was also heard by some boatmen who saw her struggling in the water, and went ta her assistance, but too late to save ber. A boat was obtained and her body recovered in about two hours after her screams were heard. The Verdict of the coroner's jury was that she came to her' derth by drowning; but the general opinion is that there was fonl play in the matter, as no reason can be assigned for her self-destruction. A post mortem exami nation revealed nothing which could account for the act. Moreover, it is stated that the boat men saw two men leaving the spot in their shirt sleeve soon after her screams were heard. We hope furlher light will be thrown upon the mat ter. - .. .' . v' - - A Free Hcgro Seeking Slavery.

A scene occurred ea- lh 4 7 A. M. train from New York, South on Tuesday morning, which, for a time, created quite aa excitement among the passengers. Among those on the train. was a lady about thirty years of age. She was good looking and attracted much attention Xrom her air of melancholy. At Princeton, a sun burned bat very handsome gentleman; entered the car in which the lady in question was Jseatrd. ,Nvo sooner bad the parties gleticed at each other than the lady swooned. On recovering herself it appeared that the gentleman in. queatioa was her husband whom she had not seen for ten years. He had started, for California when first the" gold fever had broken nut. The parties at that time resided ia Princeton, New-Jersey. The husband was taken sick and did not recover for some time. Prior to bis convalescence the lady had gone South i a the capacity of a governess, and wrote that fact to her' husband, who unfortunately, did not receive her letter. No answers to his letters reaching him, the husband, imagined that his wife was careless of his welfare. A feeling ot home came over him, aod he returned to the States a few days ago. Menntime the lady had fallen heir to a laige Southern estate left to her by a member of the family in which she bad been teaching. These explanations be ing made, the once more united couple started on asouthern tour together. There was a cer taipty of there being at least two happy persons on that train. Very Strang If True. The New Orleans papers of recent dates contain the particulars of an unexpected return to life. It appears that Mr."Fleury, a merchant of that city, was on board the steamer Arctic, and was supposed to be lost, no trace of him appear peariog. His wife, yonng aod attractive, mourn ed for him, then married the chief clerk of the late husband. ' Together the pair lived happily for several years, aod to their family three children were added. On the 4th of the present month, the wife received from New York a letter written by ber former husband. He had beea picked op from a piece of wreck, with five other survivors, and, being taken on board a whaler, had gone a long voyage with her. ' This ship was subsequently sunk, and fifteen, of those aboard saved themselves upon the island from which they were taken by another whaler, which was jest commencing her cruise, and which only returned to New York a week or two ago. . . Feeding the Son. Oa the 1st of September last, at lib. 1 8m. A sf., a distinguished astronomer, Mr. Carrlngjton had directed, his telescope to the sun, and was nga ia. observing his" spots, when suddenly two Intensely inminuua; Doaies oursi into view oa its surface. ' They moved side by side through a space of thirty five thousand' miles, first in creasing ia brightness, then' fadiog'a way; in five minutes they had vanished. They did not alter the shape of a group of large black spots which lay directly in their paths. Momentary as this remarkable phenomena was, it was fortunately witnessed and confirmed, as to one of the bright lights, by another observer, Mr. Hodgsoo, at Higbgate, who, by a happy coincidence, had also bis telescope directed to the great luminary at the same instant. It may be, therefore, that these two gentlemen have actually witnessed the process of feeding the snn b the fall of meteoric matter. But however this may be, it is a remarkable circumstance that the observations at Kew show that on the very day, and at the very hour aod miunte of this unexpected and carious phenomenon a moderate bot marked magnetic disturbance of the magnetic elements oc curred four hours after midnight, extending to the Southern hemisphere. Thus is exhibited a seeming connection between magnetic phenom ena and certain actions taking place on the sun's disk a connection which the observations of Schwabe, compared with the magnetical records of our colonial observatories, had already ren dered nearly certain.

' A Diflcxat Question Anrffered;' J1 Can any one tell whf, when Eve was msotf' factured from one of Adam's ribs, a hired girl was not made at the same time to wait on her? We can, easy I Because Adam never eame;rhr ning to Eve. with a ragged s tocking to be darn' ed, collar string to be sewed on, or - a glote ; to mend, "Bight away, quick, Boln Because he never read the newspaper until the son got down behind the palm trees, and, then stretching hixn sslf, yawning out, 'Ain't sapper most ready, ray dear" Not hel he made the fire, and hung the tea-kettle over it himself we'"l ventnre, and pulled the radishes, peeled the bananas, end did everything else be onght.to. . He milked the cows, fed the chickens v and. looked after the pigs hi to self.

(H never. played billiards and drove fast horses, cor choked, Fve with ci gar smoke. , He never loafed around corner groceries while solitary Ere. was rocking little Cain' cradle at home. In short, he didn't think she was especially created for the purpose, of wait ing on him t- and wasn't ander the impression that It disgraced man to lighten hi wife's care a little. - That's the reason that Eve did not need a hired girl, and we wish it was the reasoa that" none of her fair descendants did.

The day for the wedding was fixed, and'the course of rustic love was running smoothly enough. One day the groom-erpectast appeared before his mistress with wrinkled brow, quivering chin,-eyes filled with tears. "My father says I shant mairy unless I first pay him for my time." Thia was all he said.

' T . A Theory of lleteori. ' -The brilliant meteors bich have given rise to ranch speculation and comment.
