Going to Sleep.

Come hither, my baby, my darling,
My lily, my wonderful rose!
The white bosomed flowers in the garden
Begin their soft petals to close,
The bees have gone home from the clover,
The swallows are under the caves,
And down in the orchard the robin
Broods over her nest in the leaves.
Come baby, my beauty, my darling!
Your eyes are heavy with sleep;
Your little red mouth has grown SILENT
And scarcely its laughter can keep;
Lay off the white robes from your shoulders
Unelasp the small shoes from your feet
Oh, daintiest blossom of Eden,
kiss you, my lily, my sweet!
Do you feel the cool wind coming softly,
And see the young moon in the sky?
The clouds sailing over the sunset,
The bats fitting silently byl
Do you hear how the cattle are lowing
Along the green lane by the hill9
And the brook running over the pebbles,
With music that neveri is still
Now hush while sing to you, baby,
A song of the angels above,
That come on invisible pinions
To watch DER the children they love
So all through YOUR beautiful dreaming
The voice of your mother shall creep,
Lest, caring the harpings celestial,
Your soul shall fly homeward in sleep!

men may support themselves
But just now I wish to urge the
Importance of extending the edu-
cation of men to manifold minor
offices of usefulness. Handy and
hardness express a peculiar apt
ness in small matters, versatility
and tact. American boys who
are bought up to labor are usually
distinguished for the knack OF
turning their hand to anything.
No one in this country, ever dreams
of confining himself to a single
manual craft. For though he
may pursue but one regularly, he
knows a great deal about many

A MODEL CHARGE TO A JURY.
1t seems to US that the following
is worthy of the defunct but never
forgotten Wouter Van Twiller:
eff the jury believe, from the
evidence, that the plaintiff and
defendant were partners in the gro
Gerry, and that the plaintiff bought
out the defendant, and that the de.
fendant paid the note BY deliver
ing to the plaintiff a COW, which he
warranted not breachy, and the
warranty was broken by reason
of the breachiness of the COW, and
he drove the cow back and tender,
ed her to the defendant but he
refused to receive her, and the
plaintiff took her home again and
put heavy yoke on her to pre-
vent her from jumping fences and
by reason of the yoke she broke
her neck and died and if the jury
believe that the defendants in
terest in the grocery was worthy
anything, the plaintiffs note was
worthless and the COW good fol
nothing, either for beef or milk
then the jury must find out fol
themselves how they will decide
the case for the court, if she un
derstands herself-and she think
she does-don't know how such :
id case should be decided.

U Never ask a favor. It is
better to suffer than to supplicate,
and asking a favor, even from your
dearest friend or your nearest rel.
ative, is only mild form of sup.
plication. Get what you want by

abject, coupled with Independence
than an indolent comfort gained
through the grant of a favor.

to our laboring classes. The chill
dren of wealthy parents, and boys
who are set apart for some learn
ed profession, are seldom expected
to deal with anything but ideas.
When they grow up, if they fail
in the particular calling to which
they belong, they become helpless
and feeble strive to get along, with
poor success, until kindly death
has compassion on them.
Every boy, no matter to what
he aspires, should be taught while
young the use not only of imple
ments for the farm, tools for the
shop, the management of animals,
&C., but he should be taught as

something about seaoing, cooking
and the management of a house.
As autobiographies are in fash.

own. When I was about eight
or nine years old I took care of a
horse, COW, and the pigs, split
and brought in the wood, and did
considerable housework. The con
I'fnement of the district scool was
extremely distasteful to me. To
sit for hours with spelling book
or a reader without an idea, for
hidden to whisper, and made to
drone or drudge, was so irksome

The Result Of a Trile.

A TERRIBLE cOnhagration is often the
result Of the merest spark Simply the
contact of the little teeth of a mouse with
the end of match has caused the loss of
hundreds Of thousands of dollars. We
are often prone to place too little value
upon tae trifes of life. We never think
a single word may result in the saving of
a fellow creature from the darkest sin, or
that ilippant speech may ruin the earth
ly prospects of another. Yet oftentimes
great crimes are the result of the merest
tritie, and great Teformations have been
made by simply uttering a kind word.
We were never more strongly reminded
of this fact than during a brief experience
among the cOnyicts of a shop in the prison
of this place. We became acquainted
with young man, whose kind disposi-
tion and willingness to perform his tasks
could not fail TO attract the attention Of
those interested in obtaining as much and
as good work per day as is possible in a
place of this kind, And with the az
quaintance, as is usually the case, our
sympathy became excited in his behalf,
and we at last asked and obtained his his.
tory. 1t is little remarkable that we
were conversant with the trihe which had
changed his earthly career from one of
and misery, We will not attempt to re.
peat his story, but simply give the facts
In the case as they have come to our
knowledge:
A year or more ago, young man Of
this city. visited New York, and iu the
course OF his sight seeing, with friend,
called at one Of the theateTs. Each left
an oVercoat in the cloak-room, taking
checks therefor. The Auburnian In.
tended TO leave for home that night, and
could not therefore remain until the con.
clusion OF the performance, and so left the
theater in ndderable haste but on put
ting his hand in his pocket for the check
for his coat, could not fud II. He re.
quested the man ia charge of the cloak
room TO give him his coat, which he point
ed out to him, without the check. This
the man refused to do Time was precious;
the time for the departure Of the train had
nearly arrived 50 stepping into the room,
he took hold OF his coat, aud partly by
persuasion, prevailed upon the man TO re-.
lease the coat Throwing the garment
over his arm he hastanad 10 the danot and
