Children's Sundays.

A writer in the English NonconformiSt
takes up the question, " How to get through
a wet, snowy Sunday with the children ?" and
offers the following practical suggestions in
answer;

parents and guardians to a Sunday entertain
ment that feeds the Imagination, uses the
hands, creates amusement, and at the same
time impresses Scripture narratives on the

day. | have couple Of hundred wooden
bricks and half-bricks, and Noah's Ark
These are strictly reserved for Sunday-like
Sunday clothes and Sunday puddings. With
these bricks and animals We illustrate Scrip

had Rahab letting the spies down from the
wall The building of Jericho was a serious
work. My construction was Rahab's house
on the wall, and the spies in the act Of de-
scending in a basket improvsed Of cardboard.

of st. Paul. In one corner of the table was

The Home and the Mother.

We have indicated in our heading the great
want Of the American people. We have
churches in abundance from the magnificent
Gothic to the humble village chapel but they
are not attracting the masses within the reach
of religious influence. We have schools Of
every grade, but they fail to make character.
Intellectual development and polite accom-
plishmeuts constitute the chief, and sometimes
the sole, aim Of the popular systems of edu-
cation. Institutions for the mind and the
morals, organizations for social improvement
and physical development, are the rage Of
the times. Yet social progress is not on
ward Vice was never more attractive, new
er more defiant, never pushed up nearer to
virtue, never found so easy an entrance into
the retreat of religion and the circles Of re-
fnement Man in the aggregate-society-
is absorbing the energies Of thinking men,
while the individual is lost sight of. There
is theorizing dd HauSeam, magnificent sys-
TEN making, which looks for quick results
but the slow working from few simple rules,
the patent quarrying and the slow chiseling
which are the early necessities of strength
and beauty, are left for the humble few who
AcNtpl tue ibtN VI ItNNldNluH lulutI tildu AuN
theories of men, and who acknowledge the
rights of God as taking precedence Of the
claims Of human institution aud the clamor
of the multitude. Society has but a solitary
hope, and religion but single retreat, in
this age Of social wrong, fashionable vice, and
almost universal deception. That retreat is
the home, and that hope is the blessed inau-
ence of the mother. The home is an insttu-
tion of Gods own making, the temple of the
heart, whose presiding spirit is a priestess Of
Gods own amounting The mother can, if she
will, keep her sanctuary unpolluted by the
tread of the profane, and train the little
group Of sons and daughters, whom God has
given her, for life of contented virtue here
and noble inheritance on high To tn,
mothers then, who read these thoughts, W.
should say a word. We speak to Christian
woman-the mothers in Israel-who by di
vine appointment, are the guardians and chic
teachers of our children.

Children.

Mrs. Stowe, in Hearth and Home, says
The direction about putting a child away
alone to sleep without rocking or soothing, is
a good one only for robust and healthy child
ren. For the delicate, nervous kind | have
spoken of, it is cruel, and it is dangerous.
We know one authentic instance Of a mother
who was trained to believe it her duty to put
her infant in lonely chamber and leave it,.
Not daring to trust herself in the ordeal, she
put on her bonnet, and, positively forbidding
the servants to 90 near the child, went out for
a walk When she returned the child was
STILL and had been so for some time. She
went up to examine. The child had struggled
violently, throwing itself over on its face, a
pillow had fallen over it, and it was dead from
suffocation.
Nervous children suffer untold agonies from
fear when put to bed alone. No tongue can
tell the horrors of lonely room to such child
ren. A little delicate boy, whom his parents
were drilling to sleep alone, used to cry yio-
lently every night, aud his father would come
in and whip him lie mistook the pertinacity
for obstinacy, and thought it his duty to con.
quer the child's will One night he said
" Why do you always scream so when you know
you shall be punished 2' Z" o, father, father :
said the little fellow. Il don't mind your
whipping me, if you'll only stay with me.
That fathers eyes were opened from that mo-
ment He saw that human being cannot b,
governed by dead rules, like plant or al
animal.

Davis aud Rerels.

jeff. Davis having denied, in letter lately
written, that he was told by Seaator Came

that if il came 10 the worst and blood had to flow

such words were not pleasing to the Pennsylvania
senator, and he answered in effect that the rebel
lious section would be brought back into the
Union, and he firmly believed that if the South
persisted in It's course not only would the slaves
be set free, but that " one day cOOred man will
occupy your seat, Mr.. Davis, in the United States
Senate" Davis in great anger, turned TO Sen
atOr Cameron and said that the North, not the
South, would suffer from the coming war, and
that he himself would lead party TO " burn tc

Rich and Poor Bound Together.

You remember the touching story of the
daughter of Sir Robert Peel Her father
gave her, as a birthday present, gorgeous
riding.habit, and went out with her on the
same day for an airing in the park, his heart
swelling with parental pride as he rode by
her side. Shortly afterwards she sickened
and died oftyphus fever Of the most malignant
type; aud when inquiry was made as to how
she had caught the infection, it was discovered
that the habit, bought from one of the Lon.
don Westend tradesmen, had been made in a
miserable attic, where the husband of tho
seamstress was lying i'll of fever, and that it
had been used by her to cover him in his
shivering fits. Thus, whether we will believe
it or not, the safety of the highest is bound
up with the condition of the lowest and il
we neglect their material, moral, and spiritual
interests there will come dreadful Nemesis
to mark the divine displeasure in our con.
duct, and we may perceive our guilt all too
late when the vast temple of our liberties is
a shapeless mass of wreck and rubbish Req
