County and Town Railway Bonds.

The United States circuit court of Chi
cago has, by recent decisions, sustained
the State courts of Iowa in perretually
enjoining counties and cities from leyying
or collecting tax for the payment Of
bonds issued for railway purposes, THAT
have been declared illegal by the State
supreme court. The city Of Keokuk
alone, has almost as heavy debt out
standing, as the state Of Iowa, and being
Immediately interested in the pending
suits for long time past, should feel
great financial relief. Western towns and
counties, however, should offer some CON-
promise in liquidation of their heavy debt
issues made in times Of speculation and
imitation, and 50 long held as unavailable
property by innocent purchasers. The
city Of keokuk, committed itself to COM
promise settlement of its debt previous to
the above decision being rendered.

Mothers. Put Your Children to
11ed.

There may be some mothers who feel il d
selfdenial to leave their parlors or fresides
or work to put their little children to bed.
They think that the nurse could do it just
as we'll; that 1t Of no consequence ito hear
the children say their prayers.
Now, setting aside the pleasure of opening
the little bed and tucking the darlings up,
there are really important reasons Why the
mother should not yield that 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 se-
crets come out with more truth and less re-
straint; its naughtiness through the day
can be reproyed and talked over with less
excitement, and with the tenderness and
calmness necessary to make permanent
impression.
II the little one has shown 4 desire 10 do
well and be obedient, its effort and success
can be acknowledged in manner that need
not render it vain or self-satis6ed. We must
make it habit to talk to our children.
in order to get from them an expression Of
their feelings. We cannot understand 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, and educate them a.
their different natures demands.
Certainly it would be unwsc to excite
young children by too much conversation with
them just before putting them to bed. Eve
~ mother who carefully studies the temper
ament Of her children, will know how TO
manage them in this respect.
hut Of this all mothers may be assured,
that the last words ut night are Of the great
est importance to even the babies Of the
flock; the very tones Of the voice they last
listened to, make an impression on their
sensitive organs.
Mother. do not think the time or strength
wasted which you spend in reviewing the
day with your little boy or girl do not neg
le,t to teach it how to pray; and to pray for
it in simple, earnest language that it can IN
derstand. Sooth and quiet its little heart
after the experience Of the day. It has had
its disappointments and trials. as well - its
play and pleasures: it is ready to throw its
little arms around your neck and take it,
goodnight kiss.-A0th~s Magazine.

softly into hers.

Meta was still watching that smile. She
wished Esther would not smile SO. She
wished she would put her head on her shout

But Esther did not cry. She only smiled,

about TO morrow, with ner little jokes about

BY one Of the yoyagers, who is evidently Of
= poetic turn:
1t was not near rs cold as we thought il
would be. Immediately after clearing the
walls OF the enclosure, the balloon seemed to
become perfectly motionless, and the world
sanlfufrom beneath our feet like a pcopled
dream. The city was spread below us like
a map with its hundred spires and myriad
easements cleaning in the last fash Of sun
set. which flooded the west with pallid gold
with here and there an island Of white cloud.
For moment we seemed to be perfectly
motionless, and then BY watching the Gem
trail Park directly beneath US, we saw that
we were moving rapidly toward the North.
Our nervousness was quickly gone, and
we were soon chatting merrily. Lesser and
DINNER grew the world, as we scared and
swept along over Harlem and East river,
with its hundred isles, with the wide. gilt
tering waters Of the Sound beyond, like
the latter flushed with autumnal purple
and gold. dieting far beneath US like the
vistas Of m enchanted realm.
II all seemed strange and fairy like. II
brought to mind the DAY Dream Of Ten
nyson. BY slight stretch Of the fancy,
the bride became the sleeping beauty, new
" awakened by her truc-love's kiss; by an
other stretch-Quite 4 stretch, il 10 true
Professor Boynton became the fairy prince,
.'iighter footed than the fox who bore her
to his fathers halls. II was the sweet Day
Dream Of youth and love.
And on her lovers arm abe lesnt,
Aud round her waist she felt II fold.
And far across the hills they went,
In that new world which " the old:
Across the hills and far away,
Beyond their utmost purple rim,
And deep into the d. ing day,
The happy princess followed him.
