THE FIVE CRADELs.-'The fol- lowing story which we have nev- CT seen in print is worth repea- ting. es8HE 4fdnseE4
 Aman who had recently be- come a votary to Bacchus, re- turned home one night in an in- termediate state of booziness. That is to say, he was comfor- tably drunk, but perfectly aware of his unfortunate situation. - Knowing that his wife was a. sleep; he decided to attempt gaining his bed without disturb ing her, and by slipping off his inebriation, conceal the fact from her altogether. He reached the door of his room without distur- bance, and after ruminating a few moments upon the matter, thought if he could reach the bed post and hold on by it while he slipped off his apparel, the remainder of the feat would be easily accomplished. Unlortu- nately for the success of his scheme, a cradle stood in a di- rect line with the bed post, about the middle of the floor. Oi course his shins came in contact with the aforesaid piece of fur niture, he pitched over it with a perfect looseness, and, upon re- gaining in erect position, ere all equilibrium was established, he went over it back ward in an equally summary nanner.--A- gain he struggled to his feet, and went head foremost over the bower of infant happiness. At length, with the fifth fall his pa tience Was exhausted, and thc obstacle was yet to be overcome. In desperation he cried out to his sleeping partner-" Wife wife! How many cradles have vol got ia1 thai house ? Pvt fallen over FIVE, and here's ano, ther right before me. Suffice if to say. that his wife was by this time completely awake, and q curtain lecture ensued, which rang in his ears for many suc- ceeding day.

Ir Among the good people

I5 Among the good people down east, the pious Puritanic custom IS not yet obsolete, the naming of children after the cardinal virtues of Patience aud Experience, Faith, Hope and Charity, Righteousness and Jus tee, Truth Love and Mercy.
 Not long since, clergyman in Conncticut was reading to his congregation the beautiful and poetical psalm of David, where in he says "Mercy and Truth are met together Righteousness and Peace have kissed each other." At this passage a little. girl in the assembly manifested great interest, and whispered to her mother-7"That's just as true as you live I seen Righteous ness Hill a-kissing Peace Pea body behind the smoke-house-- but how did the minister know it p -
 This reminds us of an anec- dole we have heard of gentle man of yore, in this country, who was paying his "devois," to the daughter of a worthy old far
 mer, who rejoiced in the Chris tian name of Char?ty. An elder sister enjoyed the name of Pa- tience. On one occasion, short ly after the gallant beau arrived at the house of the father of his 'lady love" a groom from the stable al nounced that "Masa D's horse was mighty bad of, with colic." He was a noble steed, the pride of the owner, and adjured the best piece of horse flesh in all the country. At once all was alarm, and tIle beau forgot his dulcinca, and turned to bestowing all his at tention to the long switch-tail roan. He became very much a larmed, and exhibited so much restlessness and anxiety in his endeavors and resorts to relieve the animal, that the old gentle man called upon him to "Have Patience, Mr. -, have Pa tience." This was so often re- peated, that the young Lothario thought it, perhaps, an attempt 10 foist the eldest daughter upon him, and he exclaimed, "No y Icas,t get ChmuyIH -

PERSEVERANCE.

A swallow in the Spring,
Camc 10 Our granary, and meath the caves
Essayed to make nest, and there did bring
Wet Garth, and straw and leaves
Day after day she toicd
with uAtient heart, but ere her work was crowned,
Some sad mishap the tiny fabric spoiled,
And dashed it to the ground.
She found the ruin wrought,
But not cast down, forth from the place she flew,
And with her aics fresh earth and grasses brought
And built her nest anew.
But scarcely had she placed
The last sof, feather on its ample floor,
When wicked hand, or chance, again laid waste
And wrought the ruin o'cr,
But still her heart she kept,
And toil'd again ;--and last night hearing calls,
looked, and 10 three little swallows slept
Within the earth.madc walls.
What Truth is here, O Man!
Hath Hope been smittcn in its early dawn!
Hath clouds o'crcast thy purpose, trust or plan
Have FAITH, and struggle on!

RULES FOR GOVERNING CHILDREN.-1. Ex-
ercise your authority as seldom as possible,
and instead of it employ kind persuasion and
deliberate reasoning, but when you exercise
it, make it irresistible.
.. Be careful how you threaten, but never
lie. Threaten seldom but never fail to exc
cute. The parent who is open-mouthed to
threaten and threatens hastily is irresolute to
punish, and when the child is not subdued by
the first threat repeats it half dezen times
with a voice of ofincreasing violence, and with
many shakes and twitches of the little cul-
prit, will certainly posses no authority.
8. Avoid tones and gestures expressive of
agitation for trivial matters, indictive of no
depravity, and exhibiting only heedlessness
or forgetfulness of children, for nothing more
is common TO all young animals, than TO love
TO use their limbs. In such cases the tones
should be kind and persuasive, rather than
authoritive, and even the gravity of authority
should be reserved exclusively for cases of
disobedience or depravity, or for the prevent
ing of serious evil A perpetual frettng at
children for little things will inevitably har-
den their hearts, and totally destroy parental
authority andhinAuence. There never was
fretting parent, who often threatened and sell
dom performed, that had particle of efficient
government.

Several farmers inform us that they prefer it

that the real cause is, that while the Ruia
