I regret while the poor we must always havo with us, that there are times of unusual financial d Uiailty, when many persons, particularly in cties and manufacturing towns, are thrown out of employment. But nt such times there are neblo additions made to charities, both public and private, by means of which the absolute wants of ev 17 one may to supplied. 1 nave never known instances such as you refer to. of hired servants in the free States being timed off without a character, and having noplace to put their heads into, unless they brought it upon themselves by insufferably had conduct. Even then, they usually re ceive notice, in time to make other arrange ments. No doubt, though, some such in itanees do occur; slaveholders, I suppose, are not the only persons who refuse to give to him that serves him his due. To G01I all such will have to give ncceunt. Look at the " poor whites'' in the Southern and Southwestern States, and tell mo if their situuttoii would not be grcutly bettered if thoy coilld hire out in respectable families, where, to earn one's bread is considered no disgrace. You speak of the good homes and plen ty to cat which the slaves have. I believe that during the years that I lived in Mis souri I saw slavery in its mildest form, so at least people from more Southern States hare assured me, and I must say that the poorest of the laborers of my natiro State, Pennsylvania, would not put np with such fsre when at service, although the lash should be excepted. No, you could not procure hands there to harvest, or to do other work, if you should propose to feed tliem on " corn-dodgers" (an elegant word which Webster has emitted) and fut ba ton.

For dinner, fresh Beat aud vegetables, preceded by soup lad followed by a dessert of pudding or pie; then at five in the afternoon there is another meal taken, in which coffee and tw, hot cakes, cold meat, and stewed or preserved fruits, predominate. This is called the afternoon or " evening piece," nd is usually carried to the hands by a person who is hired expressly to do er "nds. In the evening there is a light cold "PP" set.

Exploration in tub Far North. A party ascended Frazer river in July, 1858, and continued in the upper country until about two months ago, Last summer they penetrated to within ten miles of the source of Frazer river, and were in the very heart of the Rocky Mountnins, 350 miles above Fort George. They found a good pass through the mountains where the Hudson's Bay trail crosses to Red river country. They found gold all along the route traversed, but not generally in paying quantities. Returning to Fort Al exander, they ascended Bcnr river, but found no gold aftr traveling twenty miles. Afterwards ascending Stuart's river seventy miles from its mouth, they found a bar which paid two ounces a day. From the head of Stuart's they crossed the conntry to the source of Bear river; they found the county swampy and almost inaccessible on acf 0nut of overflows occasioned by bea ver dams, the innumerable creatures having constructed dams on all the streams. Some disto nee below they found a bar which paid ten dollars to the Hand, but provisions rminng ont, the explorers had to return. Thit bar is 250 miles from the month of the river and twenty miles below Beaver Lake. The journal of two years' explora tion in the far North is full of interest. Isterkstino Ckrkhonics.

Being late at night, almost every one dad left this popular ex change of the North-western nietrojwlia, and the clerk had fallen to nodding. Awakened by the sulutatioa of the stranger, he jumped up.

Th Bor Preacher or Louisiana. Mark Boatner Chapman is now in his fourteenth year, he was born In Clinton, La., where his pareats still reside. About two veara airo he was received into the Church very soon nfter this ho commenc ed instructing his father's servants on the afternoon of every Sabbath. His custom was to read a chapter nnd comment npon it, having first closely studied the chapter consulting Benson, Clark and Wesley on every passage. Ho at length began, says a writer to the Memphis Advocate, to speak in the love feast and class-meetings, then to pray in the public congregation. His appearance la that of the merest boy. and he seems wholly unconscious of aaynperior gifts or attainments. Ho now preaches regularly every Sabbath at his futhcr's place, near town. His parents have refused to allow him to enter the pulpit, and supply .the place of the regular minister on Sabbath, although he is ollen solicited to do so. Ho docs nothing without permission from his parcuts. He attewte school and joins in all the amusements of the boys of his . . t .i i own age; be is a mcro cniiu everywncre, save when preaching. On lust Sabbath I sat under his ministry, and have seldom been more edified ar.d delighted with a sermon, ilia style is cnasie ma wonia fitly and happily chosen. The nicest critic would not detect a grammatical error; Ins manner is earnest, nnd his pathetic appeals reach all hearts. Occasionally his feelings overwhelm him, and he gives way to floods of tears. The most gifted lawyers, dociors and divines, have heard him with astonishment and delight. I confess that it is most won derful, and to me incomprehensible. When I henrd him, he preached from the text, "How long halt ye between two opinions?" He preached from notes, some times seeming to forget that his notes were before. him. His subject was arranged with perfect system, and most logically treated. When through with his sermon, he closed the Book, and gave a brief and touching exhortation, under which I could with others but weep. His public ad-droi-s published have attracted much at tention, and, should he live, he must in bis onward course leave a broad wake on the tide of morals. Such Is the character of the " Boy Preacher," whose wonderful precocity is without a parallel. 19 An Editor need not necrasarily write the articles for a newspaper.

No further movements In New York aro reported. The New York Herald admits that further struggle is useless. All the attention of parties is now directed to the election of Congressmen.

An immense, and similar demonstration, was made at Jacksonville, Illinois, on the same day.

It is reported that Garibaldi has invited Victor Emanuel to go to Naples and as sume authority, and he would retire home.

The Lords of tho Bench at West minster, the highest judicial authority in England, iu a case recently referred to them, declared " that it was a principle of common law, that a counselor, in question ing a witness, should address him in ordi- dinnry tones, nnd in language of respect, such as is employed by one gentleman in conversation with another; thnt such law yer has no right to question the privato business or moral character of a witness, any further than it is apparent they abso lutely affect his reliability, or touch the case In hand; and that a witness is not bound to answer questions put to him In an insulting or an annoying manner. If forced to answer by the court, he will have his remedy in an action for damnges." The common law of England is the com mon law of this conntry, where it is not con trolled or modified by positive statue 19 The Queen of England docs not suckle her children, although there is no positive law forbidding it, other than the law of etiquette. The law of England, however, regards the Queen Regnant as a man, she being the only woman in England who is not couvertt that is, involved in the identity of her hnsband. This fact, probably, would render the suckling of her own childreu by the Qneeu very inconslstr ent. Ladies of rank almost invariably pursue the same course, and employ wet nurses for their offspring. All the nobility of England have thus been reared of ple beian milk; but they take it for granted, that as cow's milk will not make children calves, plebeian milk will not render them base.
