PRACTICAL IOKE

his particular friends. The Judge had no

fact had established itself in his mind
His son Sam was missing from the paren-
tai pew in church on Sundays. On Sun
day afternoon Sam came in and went up
stairs rather heavily, when the Judge put
the question pointdly to him: "Sam, where
have you beeng" ''To church sir" was the
prompt reply. ''What church Sam "-
''Second Methodist sir" 'Had good
sermon, Sam ?" every powerful, sir: It
quite staggered me-" The next Sunday
the son came home rather earlier than usu-
al, and apparently not so much under the
weather. His father hailed him with,
''Well, Sam, been to the Second Methodist

mon, my boy" Fact was, father, couldn't

MOTHERS, PUT YOUR CHILDREN TO

There may be some mothers who feel it
to be sel-denial to leave their parlors, or
|fresides, or work, to put their little chill
dren to bed. They think that the nurse
could do it just as well; that it is of no
consequence who hears the children say
their prayers. rasb. rr v,tsu!e. ,,aal p
= Now, setting aside the pleasure of OPEN
ing the little bed and tucking the darling
up, there are really important reasons why
the mother should not yield this privilege
to any one. In the first place, it is the
time of all times when the child is inclined
to show its confidence and affection. All
its. little secrets come out with more truth
and less restraint; its naughtiness through
the day can be reproved and talked over
with less excitement, and with the tender
ness and calinness necessary to make per-
manent impressions.
If the little one has shown desire to do
well and be obedient, It's effort and success
can be acknowledged and commended in
a manner that need not renderit vain or
self satisfied. f
! We must make it habit to talk to our
children, in order to get from them an ex-
preston Of their feelings. We cannot un-
derstand the character OF these little ones
committed to our care unless we do. And
if we do not know what they are, we shall
not be able to govern them wisely, or edu-
cate them as their different natures de-
mand.
Certainly it would be unjust to excite
young children by too much conversation
with them just before going to bed. Ev-
cry mother who carefully studies the tenn
permanent Of her children will know how
to manage them in this respect.
But Of this all mothers may be as
sured, that the last words at night are of
great Importance, even to the babies of
the flock; the very tone of the voice they
last listened to make animpression on their
sensitive organization.
Mother, do not think the time and
strength wasted which you spend in re-
viewing the day with your little boy or
girl; do not neglect to teach it how to
pray, and to pray for it in simple and earn
est language which it can understand
Soothe and quiet its little heart after the
experience of the day. 1t has had its dis
and trials as well as its play
and pleasures; it is ready to throw its
arms around your neck, and take its good
night kiss.-Mother's Magazine.

ALMOsT a ROMANCE.

Quite an amusing incident occurred at
the market recently. Twelve years ago
an honest and industrious German left the
fatherland to try his luck in the United
States. He arrived in this country, went
to work and wrote to his wife to join him
with three children. His wife got his let
ter and sailed to New York, where she ar
rived safely. She could not find her hus-
band. And gave him up for lost after
long and fruitless search.
She worked her way through to De-
troit, where, as she was selling grapes in
the market, man STEPPED up and asked the
price ofthem. The husband recognized
in her his long lost wife. When she found
who he was, the scene can better be inn
imagined than described. The husband
had joined the Union army and served du-
ring the war. He arrived here and went
directly to the market, little expecting the
happy meeting that was awaiting him.

THE DEMOCRATIC .sFINGER.o

John Van Buren, in his Albany speech,
said: at is remarkable that all the Feder-
alists who have been elected President
died in Office, and the Vice Presidents who
have succeeded them have been good Dem
ocrats. Harrison, Taylor and Lincoln died,
and good Democrats succeeded them.-
Do you not see the finger of Providence q
We see the finger very clearly-it is the
right forefinger, resting on a trigger, inn
mediately behind Mr.. Lincoln's head. We
see the pistol fired, while a young '.Demo-
crat,'"' soealled, leaps down upon the stage,
shouts ''sic semper tyranRis," then flies till
he is hunted down and shot like dog
Whatever worship Mr.. Van Buren thinks
due to ''the finger in question, he is at lib
erty to say, Was it this which called
forth from the leading Copperhead Or

Iflife and death bore the same proportions
in the entire population, the above figures
would indicate that of the fifteen hundred
