A Persian Story.

A ruffiing young fellow married the
wealthy widow of great Khan On
the wedding night she determined to as
sert her authority over him. So she
treated him with great contempt when
she came into the ante-room, and sat
luxuriously imbedded in rosc-leaf cush-
ions, caressing a large white cat of which
she pretended to be dotngly fond. She
appeared to be annoyed by her husband
entering, aud locked at him out OF The
corners of her eyes, with a glance OF
cold disdaln.
Il dislike cats. remarked the young
soldier blandly, as if he was making q
mere casual observation they offend my
sight
IF his wife had looked at him with n
look of cool disdain before her eyes now
wore an expression of anger and con-
tempt such as no words can express. -
She did not even dcign to answer him,
but took the cat to her bosom aud fond
led it passlonately. Her whole heart
seemed to be in the cat, end cold was the
shoulder she turned on her husband.
when any one offends me, contn-
ucd her gallant gaily, 1 cut off his head.
1t is popularity Of mine which | am
sure will only make me dearer to you
Then drawing his sword, he took the
Ct gcntly but firmly from her aims, cut
of its head, wiped the blade, sheathed
It aad sat down, continuing to talk af-
fectionateiy with his wife as ii nothing
had happened. After which, says tradi-
ton. she became the best and most sub
mssive wife in the world.
A hcppecked fellow meeting him the
next day as he rode with a gallant train
through the market place, began to con-
dole with him.
'Ahr said the henpccked, with deep
feeling, you too have taken wife and
got tyrapt. You had better have re-
mained the poor soldier that you were
pity you from my heart
Not SO, replied the ruffier, jollily !;
keep your Sighs to cool yourself next
summer .
lie then related the events of his we'd
ding night, with their satisfactory re-
suits The henpeckcd man listened at
tentively, and pondered.
I have also a sword, said he, though
it is rusty, and my wife is fond of cats,
will crt off the head of my wife's fa-
voritc cat at once.
He did so, and received a sound beat
ing His wife, moreover, made him go
down on his knees and tell her, what
evil spirit or gcnii, had prompted him to
commit the bloody deed.
Fool - said the lady, with a vixenish
smile, when she had possessed herself
of the henpecked secret, you should
have done it the first night.
Moral. Advice is useless to fools.

Don't Rock the Baby.

IF all the consequences Of ones acts
are to be laid to his charge, the mau who
invented rocking cradles for children
rests under fearful load of responsible
tiles The downright murder of tens of
thousands of infants, and the weakened
brains Of hundreds of thousands of
adults, are undoubted results Of this in
vention. To rock child in cradle,
or to swing him in cribs, amounts to just
this the rapid motion disturbs the nat
ural flow of the blood, ahd produces stu.
por or drowsiness. Can anybody sup
pose for moment that such an opera
ton is q healthful one? Every one
knows the dizzy and often sickening ef-
feet of moving rapidly in swing; yet
! wherein does this differ from the motion
child receives when rocked in cradle?
1t is equivalent to lying in ship berth
during a violent storm, and that sickens
nine persons out of ten, A very gentle
slow motion may sometimes be soothing
though always of doubtful expediency;
but to move cradle as rapidly as the
swing of pendulum three feet long,
that is once in a second, is downright
cruelty. We always feel like graspine
and staying the arm of mother or nurse
who, to secure quietude, swings the cra-
die or crib with q rapidity equal to that
of pendulum a foot long. If any mo-
thcr is disposed to laugh at our sugges-
tions, or consider them whimsical, we
beg Of her to have bed or cot hung on
cords, then lie down on it herself, and
have some one to swing it with the same
rapdity that she allows the cradle to be
rocked. What she will experience in
both head and stomach is just what the
infant experiences.
We insist that this rocking Of chill
dren is useless habit. IF not acous-
toned to rocking, they will 60 to sleep
quite as we'll when lying quietly, as
when shaken in cradle. If they do
not, there is trouble from sickness or
hunger, or moro likely from an over
loaded stomach and though the rocking
may produce q temporary stupor, the
trouble is made worse thereafter, by the
unnatural means taken to produce quiet
for the timo being -.4mer. AgricWtu-

Old AbC's List.

A friend hus related to US the follow
ing excellent joke, and vouchcd for its
truthfulness:
A few weeks since Colonel was dis
missed from the service by order OF the
President, upon charges of disloyalty
The Colonel, feeling that he had been
grossly mi,represcn'ed by malicious en-
emits, secured papers from number OF
orr Generals and other influential men,
rcfuting the charges and requesting his
rcinstatcucnt. aud repaired to Washing
ron to submit his case to the President
After the usual ceremony an interview W
was granted, and the President received
his papers, requesting him to call again
in the course of few hours, during
which time he would give his attention
to the case. The Colonel called at the
appointed time. and was cordially re-
ceiyel By the President and Informed
that his papers had been carefully exam
iacG, that the evidence they contained
was satisfactory, and injustice had evil
dcntly been done in ismi4sing him. ihe
Colonel was thereupon reins atcd' The
President then put the following inter-
rogations to the Colonel:
Now, Colonel. have acted upon your
case, and know you to be one of my
most bitter po itical opponents. [ de-

ways done what you deemed right and

mote you to Brigadicr General, pro-
vided you will allow me to thoroughly
test your loyalty beyond what papers
you have procured If you are loyal
man, and War Democrat, you can
surely have no objection.
The Colonel, os matter of course,
felt highly elatcd at this unexpected ia
vor and earnestly stated that he was pre-
pared to submit to any requirements cal
cu!atcd to test his loyalty and express
cd his delight in complying with his dc
mand, since bis ExccIleLcy had shown
such confidence in him. as to honor him
with such an euviable position.

What blessed day is Sunday to a

Sunday? What honest workingman's

and tell him all the news which goes to
