" Mother," naked Johnny, " what
verae do you think i bent tor little

His mothur thought a moment and
then rniid—" 'l'liou (iod seest me,"
because, 1 suppoae, little boys boiiu*-
times do naughty things, thinking
their molhor.don't see them and won't
know it. This tenches them that
there is somebody who surely does
see them."
Does God look into boys' pock-"
ets f aeked Johnny.
" Yes," «aid inaUimn.
" 1 wish God could speak as well
as see," said Johnny.
" He dot's," unid umintnd.
Johnuy ifpi'iii'tJ liis eyes wide. 4I)ues!'
lie urit'ti. '
"Oh, yes," said inainma—"he
i<|*(>iiks in a still small voice."
"I never hear<l him," said the lit-
1 does it sound like wind?"
" 'that's becauHtt you don't henrk-
eth" said mamma "God's voice
dues not sound like wind, it speaks
in your heart, anil so softly „tbat you
must hearken in ordt-r to hear it."
" What does it say 1" asked John-
ny.
" When you are nnugltty, it says,
' Don't, don't; Johnny► pray don't.'
When you «re right it says, 'It is
sweet to be God's child. God's chil-
dren love to do right.'"
" I w«nt it to say that to me," said
JnhtinV ¡ and I am sure his mother
wan ed it to fcay that to hfm.
For several days, Johnny behaved
«« if be was hearkening to the Vpice,
juid mm if it whispered pleasant words
to him. He tried to do right; and
seemed n very lianpy child.
Onedny when lie took his marbles
out of lib* pocket, his mother observ-
ed a handsome blue glass one.
« Wherri did you get that Johnny?"
she Mid ; "it is * lw*au y.*'
He tried to snatch it out her hand.
Hi mother, as yon mny think, was
much surprised She looked at him
and lie hung down' his head. Tiu'n
she began to be afraid tliert* Was
MouiHthiiig wrong, before, she did not;
nod she asked him ag«iu—
" Where did you get this marble,
Johnny!"
The" little boy made no answer.—
She did not aak him «gain; but went
away;
At night Johnny climed into his
mother's lap. and laying his head on
bar «houlder, ««id in « low, sorry
tame—

ed, sueshúlly in the wate of inakrel,
which was nice and smelt weet, and
and his survivia wile is the snme wa.
We never liowd him to put. sand in
his sugar, tho lie had a big sail bar
in front of his houa ; ntir wafer in his
Lickers, tlio the Ohio River runs
past his dore. Peas to his remains !
lie leaves a wife 6 children, a cow, 4

whispered to her husband—"John,

for, John, it seems probable, stood a
little in awe of the philosophy from

> What Br. Bussall Says.
Many people, both North an South,
are anxious to see what Dr. Russell,
correspondent of the London TiineB,
whb was sent to America to report the
progress of the present wars says on
the subject. The following is an ex-
tract from one of his letters. After
speukiug df past battles and the pros-
pect of another, he says:
Hut, aftei All, what will another
battle «¡Beet ? <*Ven if the result at Mrt-
uassus be reVeVsed there is little like-
lihood that more will be done than
increasing the feeling of bittern^B
between the extremists and, a fresh
loss of life, for the Federalists would
lie as little able to improve a victory
as tlie Confederates were, and even
i he possession of Richmond or Wash-
ii.gton á ould not enable the victors
to dictate peace, It is «11 very Well
to tiqk.of an army of .500,000 men.
It. is a lnrge force ; but if it be, Amer-
ica is still larger than its action. A
rapid development of the railroad
system has left parts of America
in which the war must be waged des-
titute of ordinary roads, and the diffi-
culty of moving provisions and ma-
teriel is enormous in comparison with
my part of Europe. Noris the coun-
try fa for Bitch marches as can be
made «cross the steeps; as in India
or in the open lands of Europe. Such
roads as exist are generally cUt deep
in the soil, with high banks ; the
land is covered with forest, and the
cleared fields are filled with stumps
■fatal to libree or wagon. Then there
aré great rivers and mountain passes
foodless and desolate. An army ol
tivi- hundred thousand men scattered
over the Southern frontier of the "U^
States with its right extending down
info Missouri* on the borders of Ar'
kansas, and its left rrsting of Fortress
Monroe, represents a feeble chain,
wnich could be broken at any place.
If it forms in strong corps, the diffi-
culty of transportation of food and
materui arises, it is greater than
one would imagine whb has not Been
how widely scattered is the popula-
tion. The State of Georgia fir ex-
ample, which is as large «B allEng-
iund, has less than a million of peo-
ple. The further these corps ad-
vance, the greater must become their
difficulty. They must diverge as
they advance, and the eneniy will
(rtít in between them and operate in
their rear and on the communications
with their b«siS.' The people Of the
South declare they arp ready for a
gueri la war, and tne remarks 1 have
made presuppose there is. no large
amount of Union feeling in any of
the seceded States which..jvould re-
vive and become active ou . the ap-
poerauce of a friendly army. 1"
we were to judge of the States
erally by wlmt is taking plate lit mi t-
souri, however, it would seem as if
a large number .of the inhabitants
preferred to let Ünionists and Seces-
sionists fight it ^rt by themselves.
Postaoa Stamps^A law of the
Confederate Congress, provides that
so soon as the Postmaster .General
shall procure, postage stamps and
stamped envelopes, that Postmasters
be required' to receive Treasury notes
at.par for saidt stamps and stamped
envelopes, in all cases where the a-
mount applied for, «hall be five dol
hire.
