GiUe your ChiM a Paper. "A
child beginning to read becomes de-
lighted with a newspaper, because
he read the names of things which
are familler, and will make progress
accordingly. A newsper in one year
is worth a quarters schooling to a
child, and every father must consid-
er that substantial information is con-
necled with advancement. The
mother of family being one of the
heads, and having a more immediate
charge of children, should herself be
instructed. A mind is thus fortified
against the ills Of life, and is braced
for an emergency. Children, anus
ed by reading or study, are, of course,
more considerate, and most easily
governed. How many parents who
have not spent twenty dollars for
books for their families, would have
given hundreds to reclaim son or
daughter, who have ignoran,ly or
thoughtlessly fallen into error.

east to Erie on the west then, turning south
take the counties along Ohio aud the free
district Of the Pen Handle in Virginia, down
to the dark corner of Greene, and he will
find some fifteen contiguous counties which

HOME MANAeEMEST.-Though the
art Of managing house may at first
sight seem a very simple affair, yet
there are very people who do it well.
Most women do often dislike the
worry Of ever management almost as
much as neglect. The great art is
TO hit the happy medium quietly, and
TO keep the servants to their duty
without scolding them. 1t is a great
point TO live always in the same man
ner as regards style. to have the
cloth laid as carefully when alone as
when there is company. When this
is the case, no wife feels afraid of
her husband bringing in an unex-
pecied guest and it is gratifying 10
a husband to find a guest OF this
kind received quietly whereas, moth
ing can be more disagreeabe TO n
husband than 10 see his house thrown

servants scrambling 10 change the

The Old Man and the Children.

By JAMES rNrcnErr hIod'
Spring was busy in the woodlands,
Climbing up from peak to peak,
As an old man sat and brooded,
with flush upon his cheek.
Many years pressd hard upon him,
And his living friends were few,
And from out the sombre future
Troubles drifted into view.
There is something moves one strangy
In old ruins gray with years;
Yet there's something far more touching
In an old face wet with tears.
And he sat there, sadly signing
Der his feebleness and wrongs,
Though the birds outside the window
Talk'd Of summer In tlIeir sougs'
But, behold a change comes DER him;
Where are all his sorrows now
Could they leave his heart as quickly
As the gloom. clouds lel his brow
Up the green slope in the garden,
Past the dial, he saw run
Three young girls, with bright eyes shining
Like their brown heads in the sun
There was Fanny, famed for wisdom
And fair Alice, famed for pride
And one that could cay Uncle"
And said little else beside.
And that vision startled memories
That soon hid all scenes Of strife,
Sending floods Of hallowed sunshine
Through the ragged rents Of life.
Then they took him from his study,
Through long lanes and tangled bowers
Out into the shaded valleys,
Richly tinted DER with flowers.
And he bless'd their merry voices,
Singing round him as he went,
For the sight Of their wild gladness
Filled his own heart with content.
And, that night, there came about him
Far off meadows pictured fair,
And old woods in which he wander'd,
Ere he knew the name of care;
And he said, "These angel-faces
Take the whteness from ones hair

poor and retired females who had no man to

That will tell him he is free;
From this hour, and forever,
lie is nothing more to me
And my heart feels lighter, gayer,
Since the deed at last is dome

He should never court but one
Everybody in the village
Knows he's been a woOing me,
And this morning he was riding
With that saucy Anna Lee.
They say he smil'd upon her,
As he canter'd by her side,
And I'll warrant you he's promised
To make her soon his bride.
But I've fnish'd it, the letter,
From this moment he 10 flee

If he loves her more than me.

That he said ho'd visit me-
But no doubt he's now with Anna,

And as true as Pm living,
If he eyer comes here more,

Never, never met before.

And wonder if he will
If he does, III look so coldly--

Just as true as | am here
Now, almost wish I'd written
Not to him that he was free,
For perhaps twas but a story
That he rode with Anna Lee.
There he's coming through the gatew
will meet him at the door,
And I'll tell him still love him,
II he'll court Miss Lee no more
