WASHINGTON STATUE 1rAUaURArED.

Decidedly the most interesting fea-
ture of the Fourth of July celebration
in New York City, was the inagura-
ton of the equestrian statue of Wash
ington, in Union square, which was
done with imposing ceremonies. The
spectators were estimated at twenty
thousand, and the whole military force
of the city, together with the veterans
Of 1912, turned out in their strength.
Remarks were made by Col. James Lee
and Hon. Hamilton Fish, and an ad-
dress by Rev. DR.. Bethune. The Ex-
press describes the scene when the
statue was unveiled to the vast multi
tude, as one of extraordinary anima-
ton. We quote: y ,a3ie
cat last the cloth fell! To attempt
a description Of the enthusiasm that
followed would be vain. The first
statue Of Washington ever erected in
New York was done, perfect, and pre-
sented to the city. The sun, which
had all the morning been obscured by
thick clouds, burstfOrth full, and strong,
and bright, the instant the cloth fell,
gliding the figure with his glorious rays.
The troops all presented arms, the
drummers rufled, the standards bowed
down before the efigy of the father Of
his country. From ten thousand small
arms was fired a fen de .joie; from twice
ten thousand throats arose the most
triumphant cheers. Thousands of the
most beautiful women in the world
waved their handkerchiefs from the
windows; the air was filed with clouds
of smoke, and showers of cambria and
boquets were lavished upon the beati-
full statue!
''There stood the statue! The pedes.
tai massive and heavy; the steed appa.
rently paving the ground as if proud
of the burden he bears, and the figure
on his back uncovered, his right arm
stretched out, as if energetically point
ing to some object of interest in the
distance. The spectator involuntarily
followed, with his eyes, the direction
indicated by the finger. The SUI
bathed the statue in a food of COLDER
light,-the people shouted again, ant
the bands struck up Hail Columbia,
while the cheering still continued.

Six or seven hours Of every day,
men are breathing eorpses; the face
discharges expression; the brain gives
up thinking; life is gone; only the
animal lies there, pulsating, breathing,
snoring-helpless as an infant-un-
noticed as astatue; all gone, all vacant,
empty, useless. Looked at without
educated associations, there is no diff
ference between man in bed and a
man in a coffin.
And yet, such is the power of the
heart to redeem animal life, and clothe
all rude and uncommon things with its
own leaf bearing branches, that there
is nothing more exquisite, refined, and
pure, and beautiful than the chamber
of the house. Sleep-it has sprouted
up with all the flowers of the poets.
The couch-from the day that the
bride sanctifes it to the day that the
aged mother is borne from it-stands
clothedwith dignity and beauty! Cursed
be the tongue that dare speak evil Of
the household bed. By its side oscil-
lates the cradle-not far from it is the
crib. In this sacred precinct, the
mothers chamber, lies the heart of the
family. Here the child learns its
prayers. Hither, night by night, angels
troop.

SAD CHILDREN.

There is one thing which strikes me
very affecting in the condition of any
child. It is when that condition is
necessarily melancholy one-when
the circumstances which hem it around
cast over the surface of that young life
on abiding gloom. A melancholy
child! What an anomaly among the
harmonies of the universe! Something
as incongruous as bird dropping in a
cage, or a flower in a sepuleher. The
musical laughter mufled and broken;
the spontaneous smile transformed to
sad suspicion; and the austerities of
mature life, the fearful speculation, and
forecaste of evil, fixed and frozen on a
boys face! And then the sorrow of a
child is SO absorbing; for he lives only
in the present. In the Affections which
fallupon him, man has the aid of reason
and faith; he looks beyond the present
issue; he detects the significance Of
his calamity, and, strengthened thus,
brave heart can vanquish any sorrow.
But as Richter beautifully says, ''The
little cradle or bed-canopy of the child
is easier darkened than the starry can
opy of man." Surely, then, it is a
blessed thing to contribute aught that
will Tighten this gloom, and place the
child in natural conditions.-Humanity
IN the CSty.

A LESSON FRoM THE BIRDS.

A gentleman observed, in thicket
of bushes near his dwelling, a cOllec-
ton of brown thrushes, who for seve-
raj days, attracted his attention by
their loud cries and strange movements.
At length, curiosity was so much ex-
cited, that he determined to see if he
could ascertain the cause of the excite
ment among them. On examing the
bushes he found female thrush, whose
wing was caught in limb in such a
way that she could not escape. Near
by was her nest, containing several
half grown birds. On retiring little
distance, a company of thrushes ap-
peared, with worms and other insects
in their mouth, which they gave first
to the mother, and then to her young;
she, the meanwhile, cheering them in
their labor of love with song Of
gratitude. After watching the interest
ing scene till his curiosity was satisfied,
the gentleman released the poor bird,
when she flew to her nest with a CRATE
full song to her deliYerer; and her
charitable neighbors dispersed to their
several abOdes, singing as they went
a song of Joy.
