In the last few weeks, under the superin-
tendence Of Mr.. Herbert, the granite work
of the monument on the Capitol square has
made considerable progress. The beautiful
pedestNls for the eagles, and the large in

course, have been put up. There are other
courses of stone cut which will be soon in
their proper places. AS the structure rises,
it excites general admiration. Mr. Craw-

Teach Your Children How to Pray.

Parents, II you love your children, do all
that lies in your power to tain them up to

gin. Tell them what to say. Encourage
them to Pcrscvere. Remind them if they
become careless and slack about it. Let il
mot be your fault, Mt any rate, II they never
'call upon the name Of the Lord.
This, remember, is the first step in reli
gion which child is able TO take. Long
before he can read, you can teach him TO
kneel by his mothers side, and repeat the
simple words Of prayer and praise which she
puts in his mouth. And rs the FIRST steps
In any undertaking are always the most i'm

childrcn's prayers are prayed, point which
deserves your closest attention. You must

passed from his memory and left no mark
