troublesome Children.

WHEN you get tired Of their noise, just
think what the change would be should IL
come to total silence. Nature makes a
provision for strengthening the children's
lungs by exercise. Babies cannot laugh
80 as to get much exercise in this way, but
we never heard of one that could not cry.
Crying, shouting, screaming, are natures
lung exercise, and If you do not wish for 1t
in the parlor, pray have place devoted to
it, and do not debar the girls from 1t, with
the notion that 1t is improper for them TO
laugh, jump, cry, scream, and run races in
the open air. After while one gets used
to this Juvenile music, and can even
write and think more consecutively with
IL than without it, provided it does not
run into objuratory forms. We remem-
Der boy that used to go to school past
our study window, and generally made q
continuous stream of roar off to the
school house and back again. We
supposed at first he had been
nearly murdered by some one, and
had wasted considerable compassion on
the wror gs of infant innocence; but on
inquiring into his case, found him in per
fectly good condition. The truth was that
the poor little fellow. had no mirthfulness
in his composition, therefore couldn't
laugh and shout, and so nature, in her
wise compensation, had given him more
largely the faculty of roaring Heseemed
to thrive upon it, and we believe is still
doing well. Laughing and hallooing,
however, are to be preferred, unless a
child shows decided incapacity for those
exercises.
Our eye alights, just now, upon the fol-
lowing touching little scrap, written by an
English laborer, whose child had been
killed by the falling of beam
"Sweet laughing child the cottage door

But, oh its sunshine gilds no more ....r

A Great Evil.

Our race groans under evils, and car,
ries burdens heavy TO be borne; some OF
these may be traced back to the first sin
and are beyond our control, but most Of
them are of our own producing, and may
be arrested by resOlute act OF the will,
or by aids which come from other sources.
Two evils now I'LL the land and world
which are OF human invention, and are
sustained by human authority. One of
these is alcoholic drinks and the other is
the use Of tobacco-ot the latter we wish
to say few wordR. T5f ~ 4OEA
This has grown and overspTead the ma
tions OF the earth till now 1t challenges
observation, reflection, and the exercise Of
enlightened conscience while looking the
naked facts Ia the face. Such Is it's pres
ent extent, that five and half millions of
acres are occupied in its growth, produc-
ing two millions OF tons annually and
costing the human race ten thousand mil
lions 81 dollars, by far more than enough
10 pay the whole debt, In one year, OF the
United States and Great Britain, startling
as the fact may seem. In our own coun-
try alone. one hundred and hfty millions
are expended annually In Its consumption,
by far more than is appropriated 70 sup
port the gospel of Christ and the cause OF
education. How appalling such q state Of
things, while want and suffering are all
around rs Multitudes are without the
Bible, millions have never heard the
name of Christ, and the most important
enterprises for promoting the welfare Of
mankind, falter and fail for Ehe want Of
support

Preservation Of Leather.

A CONTRIBUTOR to the Shoe and Leather
Reporter gives some valuable hints in rcla-
tion TO the preservation of leather. The
extreme heat TO which most men and
woman expose boots and shoes during win.
ter, deprivCs leather Of its vitality, render
ing 1t liable to break and crack. Patent
leather, particularly, is often destroyed in
this manner When leather becomes so
warm as to give off the smell of leather it
is singed Next to the singeing caused by
fire heat, is the heat and dampness caused
by the covering of india. rubber. India
rubber shoes destroy the life of leather.
The practice of washing harness in warm
water and with soap is very damaging.
If coat of oil is put on Immediately after
washing the damage is repaired. No har-
ness is ever so soiled that damp sponge
will not remove the dirt; but, even when
the sponge is applied, it is useful to add q
slight coat of oil by the use of another
sponge. All varnishes, and all backing
containing the properties of varnish should
be avoided. Ignorant and indolent hostlers
are apt to use such substances on their har-
ness as will give the most immediate effect,
and these, as a general thing are most
destructive to the leather. When harness
loses its luster and turns brown, which al
most any leather will do after long ex-
posure to the air, the harness should be
given new coat of grain black. Before
using this grain black the grain surface
should be thoroughly washed with potash
water until all the grease is killed, and af
ter the application of the grain black, oil
and tallow should be applied to the surface.
This will not only "fasten the color, but
make the leather flexible, Harness which
is grained can be cleaned with kerosene or
spirits Of turpentine, and no harm will re-
suit if the parts affected are washed and
0iled Immediately afterward. Shoe leather
is generally abused. Persons know moth
ing or care less about the kind of material
used than they do about the polish pro.
duced. Vitriol backing Is used until
every particle of the oil In the leather is
destroyed. To remedy this abuse the
leather should be washed once q month
with warm water, and when about half
dry, a coat of oil and tallow should be ap-
piled, and the boots set aside for day or
two This will renew the elasticity
and life in the leather, and when thus used
upper leather will seldom crack or break
When oil is applied to betting dry it does
not spread uniformly, and does not incor-
porate itself with the fiber as when partly
damped with water The best way to oil
belt is to take it from the pulleys and
immerse 1t in a warm solution of tallow
and oil. After allowingi it to remain few
moments the bsltshould he immersed in,
water heated to one hundred degrees, and
instantly removed. This will drive the
oil and tallow all in, and at the same time
properly temper the leather dri,li 20.

The Leaf.

THE fbres of the leaf which spread out
from the base are prolongations of the
vessels of the wood; and beneath these
hbres, and forming the covering of their
under surface, are similar prolongations of
the inner bark. The green exterior por-
tion of the leaf is a continuation of the
outer tissue of the bark in thin porus
form. The pores or mouths in the green
portions are an essential part of the struc-
ture. The leaf of the common lilac is said
to contain not less than 120, 600 pores to
the square inch. They are most numer-
Gus on the under surface. The leaves
spread out their broad surfaces to imbibe
gaseous food from the atmosphere. Under
the stimulus of light, they continually
absorb carbonic acid from the atmosphere.
In the vessels of the leaves this is decom-
posed into carbon and oxygen. The car
hon is retained and the oxygen thrown Oft
During the darkness, oxygen is absorbed,
and combining with the carbon in the ves-
sells, is thrown off IN the form of carbonic
acid, but much less is thrown off in the
night than in the day Hence in the
Arctic regions, where the sunlight is never
absent during the summer, and there is mo
darkness to interrupt the absorption of car
bon, we can understand how vegetation
pushes upward with almost miraculous
rapidity and in regions where the days
are very long and the nights comparative
ly short, we see why the wheat and corr
spring up and reach maturity in a few
weeks.
Twenty-Five hundred gallons of air con
tain about one gallon Of carbonicaci gas
! To find and absorb this small quantity o.
gas, the tree spreads out its thousands o.
| feet of leaves, which are constantly in mo
tion in the ever moving air, and thus the
ponderous trunks of the forest are bull
up, atom by atom, from the atmosphere
On single oak seven millions of leavel
have been counted. Now if each equar,
inch contains 10000 pores, and each lea
four square inches of surface, it may no
be difficult to show in figures the number 0
pores on the leaves of the oak, but whC
can grasp the idea, or form in his mint

A Queer Scene in Court.

ONE OF those ludicrous incidents that
occasionally are witnessed in the dignifed
presence of a hall of justice occurred in
the United States District Court, recently.
A German farmer from the country came
in to be sworn as q surety on the bond OF
gentleman who was getting his tobacco
relieved from the seizure that it had suffer
ed from the authorities. Having been in
formed that he must swear to certain mat
ters, he was brought into court. ~
Judge Leavitt then proceeded to ques-
ton him. '"' ia -.'' '
"Are there any mortgages ON your
property" 80
"Not a d-d mortgage on mine property
and plenty Of monys at home" said the
aff1ant, with the utmost simplicity, keep
ing to his duty in the line Of swearing.
The Judge saw the man was honest and
meant no contempt, so relaxing his dig
nifty, with a smile on his face, he proceed
ed with the next question.
"Do you owe any debts?" Jt,tf .g
"Not one d-n cent und ven 1 gets
all as peoples owes me, ] bees richer as
aFThese bonds are approved" replied
the Judge, with smile twinkling in his
eyes. ...x ..4,t -it.g- ,t,.y +.,
About score Of men, the affiant among
them, were seen hurrying outof the court
room, with faces red with suppressed
| laughter. Having passed into the hall,
out of hearing OF the Court, each man
sought quiet place to be relieved of his
pentup laughter" l-. i''t1a e'
The honest old Teuton had, beyond
doubt, experienced for the first time the
process of swearing before court. i
had been previously explained to him by

In a late number of Hdrpes's magazine
we find the. following description of a
load: sEkhH HH
All the bullion and coin Of Wall street
is carried about the Btreets in common,
open carts, precisely such as are used In
carrying ordinary merchandise. For
twenty-five years past one carman, John
q. Barkley, best known In the street as
{" Honest John," whose three carts stand
at the busy corner of Wall and Broad
streets, has done the carting for the bull
lion dealers and bankers OF the city, any
of whom would trust him in their vaults
with treasure amounted. Tall, robust and
ruddy, Honest John hasin his countenance
precisely the expression which we should
expect to see in the face of one who for 80
many years has bore 80 honorable name.
He began in the street twentytseVen years
ago, and, after his fifth. year, he became
the established carman of the coin and
bullion men. II is ais carts that go TO the
California steamers and convey their kegs
Of gold to the vaults to which they are
consigned. His carts assist TO restore the
financial balance between the two conti-
nents by conveying gold 70 and from the
Cupard steamers In Jersey City. He has
occasionally carried for short distances,
down hill, million dollars in gold, which
weighs two tons but his opinion is that
seven hundred thousand dollara ls about
as much as a humane man will ever per-
nit his horse to draw over these rough
paVements for any considerable distance.
On busy day he will have as many AZ
twenty leads of precious metals. A load
