Warren, theu in the prime of life, join
sd the American ranks as volunteer.
Tell me where | can be useful said
'e. addressing General Putnam.
'On to the redoubt,' was the reply

Warren: tell me where I shall be in
nost danger ell me where the action
will be the hottest
AT the meeting of the Committe of
'afety, previous to the battle, his friends
arnestly strove to dissuade him from ex-
osing his person.
4 know there is danger replied War
en-, but who does not think it sweet to
lie for his country?'
When Colonel Prescott gave the or
er to retreat, Warren's desperate cour-
&c forbade him to obey. He fingered
.st in the redoubt, and was slowly re-
eating, when British officer called on
i'm to surrender. Warren proudly
urned his face to the foe, received q fa-

Higttlluntaua.
about the sleep OF Children.

One of the Grst rbyming coupets
learned by most of us, was: Early to
bed, and early to rise, makes man
healthy, wealthy, and wise. This sounds
plausible. aud if the whole couplet were
followed, it would be all well epough;
but the practice is: 60 to bed late, and
get up carly. An abundance of sound
sleep is very important to the physical
and mental health of children. While
under the age of six years, II hours of
sound sleep should be taken by them ev-
cry night; from six to twelve years OF
age. 10 hours are needed; and from
twelve to the full growth of the body,
not less than 0 hours of sleep are abso-
lutely necessary. After that period, s
hours may answer, though 8 are better.
A sure recipe for securing restless
sleep, and the kicking OFF, of the bed
covers, is to allow children, Or grown-up
people, even. to cat hearty suppers, \
light diet of bread and milk, say cup
full-not a great bowl full-is all that a
child needs, and all it should have after
dinner. Give them this at clock, 2.
NJ, and accustom them to 90 to bed in-
variably at 6 to 6a o'clock, summer aud
winter, and they will sleep soundIy du-
ring all the evening and through the
night. After the age of three, it is bet
ter not to accustom children to sleep du-
ring the day. Then, by making it an
invariabe rule for them to 60 to bed at
G or 6} =. NJ. they will quickly drop
to sleep. Were there no considerations
OF health, the conreaie"ce of having
children 'out of the way during the
evening, would be sufficient induce
ment to this plan. We repeat that it is
perfectly easy to accustom children to
this. If the rule be adhered to. We
speak from successful experience, as we'll
as from observation.
Rocking, or carrying, or singing even
an infant child to sleep, induces one of
the worst habits you can teach it. Put
an infant in bed or crib, and let it
lie there until it cries itself to sleep,
even if it does sob for an hour or two,
and in n very few days it will go into a
quiet slumber quite as quickly as if sha-
ken in the arms, or in cradle The
truth is, few mothers or nurses have the
courage or patience to endure the crying
for the first few trials required, and so
they go on. slaves for years. If child
wakens, do not take it up Or make the
slightest effort to soothe it. or you will
soon incucate a bad and needless habit
Let it lie-if it cries. no matter how
hard-nerve yourself against any inter
ference, and it will soon cease TO expect
aid or caresses. If bad habit has al.
ready been formed, it will require long
er and more perscvering efforts to break
it up, but it can always be DONE Try ou'
recommendations mothers, and you viii
find them valuable, and will save your
selves a world of care, and lengtheI
your days. and promote the health o
your little ones.-An,erican 1griculfa

In the garden where he played;

When the flowers are all decayed:

And the horse he used to ride.
And they will speak with silent speech
OF the little boy that died.
We shall go home TO cur Fathers house
To our Fathers house in the skies,
Where tie hope of souls have no blight,
Our love no broken tics;
We shall roam on the banks of the river

And battle in its blissful tide;

INK EoE MARKING LINEN.-To make

medicine to horses by drenching, as it is
called, highly Objectionable. In this

the medicine with meal or rye bran;

THE LAW OF NEWSPAPERS.

Ifsubscribers order the dsconiinuance OF
their newspapers, the publisher may continne
to send them antil all arrearages are paid.
Ifsubscribers neglect or refuse to take their
newspapers from the office to which they are
1ireciel, they are held responsible until they
nave settled the bills and ordered them discon-
tinpei.
If subscribers move to other places without
Informing the publisher, and the henewspapersare
sent 10 the former direction, they are held re-
spoasible.
The courts have decided that refusing to
take newspapers from the othce, or REMOVING,
and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facia
evidence ofintentional fraud.
