The Child that Sleeps.
FROM PUTXAM'S NAG AzINH.

FROM PUTNAM'S NAG AzINR.
The noon-day heat hath hushed the air,
And leaflets drink with noiseless glee
Their fill Of light, and everywhere
The hot air pulses silently.
Adown through ash -leaved maple lin >,
That guard the green. the open sash,
A thousand rays, with voiceless hymns,
Agolded throng, benignant flash.
And light and air serenely keep
smiling watch aboat the bed,
Whereon divine resistlcss sleep
Hath chained those lips, that restless head
The warm beams play at hide and seek
Mong naked knees and arms and curls,
And smoothly glide from rounded cheek,
Like flying shadows chased from pearls.
And whOsOever there draws niefl,
Allowing, solemn silence keeps,
To catch that whisper from on high,
The breathing of child that sleeps.

EATING A MEXICAN "A correspon-
dent of the City of Philadelphia North
American, writing from Mexican village

l must tell you an anecdote that occur
ed the first day we arrived. The people
had been told that the Americans eat chill
dren, and all these pledges of love had
been removed. Lieutenant NJ, Of the
dragons, having heard this story, accost-
ed man, and asked him if he knew
where he could get "a nice fat boy for
supper"-that he was livery hungry"
The astonished Mexican answered;
with doleful shakes Of the head, shay
no."
"Well," said NJ, ''as I'm hungry, !

The poor man, still more Mortified de-
clared that there were none of these in the
village. .. -sl ..-

get nice piece Of full grown man."
This was too much for the Indian, and
he took to his heels in the twinkling Of a

In 1863 the temple Of Janus was shut
and there was peace throughout Christen.
dom, England had gained an empire in the
war; Canada had been acquired by her,
and with her elder American colonies,
spread out before her one vast field for the
promotion of human hvppiness and the cul-
ture Of high civilization. By the hand
Of Chatham she might have sown protec.
ton and reaped grateful allegiance. From
the lips Of Burke she might have sown
Cancellation and reaped Union and Love.
But by the counsels of Grenville and
North she sowed taxation and reaped re-
volt. In 1854 she sowed the wind; she

A RARE ScHoLAR.-The American
Union relates the following:
One day last summer the teacher of a
certain district school in New England,
after putting the usual questions-"Who
is President Z" "What State do you live
in 7" &C., to a juvenile class, asked a
little boy what his fathers name was.
''Isaac," he answered promptly.
"Spell Isaac," said the teacher.
"E-y-e /, Zach, saac, Isaac"
The old scholars laughed outright at
this new way of spelling common name;
even the teacher smiled-but command
ing silence, she set the lad right, and pro-
ceeded with her questions.
"What is your mothers name :"
"Rachel."
"Spell Rachel
W-r-e.t.c.h h Rach, he'll, Rachel"
The smart hoy was Immediately given
a ''reward of merit," and dismissed.
A RECRUIT ago a sailor,
who formerly belonged to his Majesty's
navy, went one Sunday to the kirk, in his
native town of Kirckalday, where he be-
haved with great propriety, until the minis
ter read his text, which was as follows:
"Who will 60 up with US to the battle Of
Ramoth Gilead!"
The sailor, having first crammed quid
of tobacco into his cheek, rose up, but on
his hat; then looking about him, and see.
ing no body moving, exclaimed
"You cowardly lubbers, will none of
you got D-nm eyes, I'll go for one!"
So out he went, giving three cheers at
the door, to the great amazement Of all
present.
