n HB.SRT I.r LITTLE TEsI.rGs.

In the art of elegant leisure and in tho
art of wise trifling, our people arc sadly de-
ficient. We are bred to business. we oro
tempered to high oxcitemonts. We hardly
know what to do with tranquility. We be-
gin TO contrivo how to mako II exciting.
We long to mako silence talk. We stir nm
quiotnoss till we get glow ulon it. We
arc forever "getting up" something for va
cation amusoments. 1t is riding or rowing,
or picnioking, or some excursion, with its
fringe and frill Of excitement We have
rest in whirl, and tranquility in buzz
We want friend or two in our solitude 10
take off its solitarness.
There is such thing as exquisite enjoy
ment in simple consciousness of existence.
But few have either tho perfect health, or
sweetness Of soul, which this demands.
But If that much neglected and much abus-
ed faculty of Imagination were trained from
youth to clothe common life wit&rRarms,
how few would be without amusement,
even in the most Strengthened circumstan-
ces. Nature is full Of light, and motion,
and sounds, and color,-but men do not en-
joy these things. Nature is full of mimic
life, and its life Is full of strifes, pursuits,
battles, peace, amity and affection; but then
men do not care for insect life. Nature is
full of grace and charming variety, of hue
and shape, of contrast and analogy in her
mineral garden; but then men do not caro-
for botany.
50 then the great theatre is open, its scenes
are shifted every hour, its actors are in
Vulnerable and inimitable, its orchestra full
and tuneful, but mon "having eyes see not,
and ears hear not" They yawn and stretch
and wish they had something to do.
To make much of little, to find reasons of
interest in common things, to develop
sensibility to mild enjoyments, to inspire
the Imagination, to throw a charm upon
homely and familiar things, will constitute
man master of his own happiness. How
interesting trifles may become, one may SEQ
by reading Cowper's letters, which for sim
pie beauty have never been surpassed in
English epistolary literature. How a ma
turo profoundly religious may yet be filed
with satisfaction in minute duties and
homely experiences, one may read in the
letters and journeyings of Eugene de Cue
rin.-Beccher.

THE CHOuv-s CHILDRB.v.

huntsmAn, bearing his gun in field,
Went whlslllng merrily;
when he heard the blacklist Of oil black crows
Call ont from withered tree;
"You orc going to kill tho thievish birdie,
And would II were you;
But you mustn't touch my family,
Whatever else you dol"
'I'm only going 10 kill the birds
That are eating up my crop
And II your young ones do such thinss,
Bo sure they'll have to stopw
"ohl" said the crow, "my children
Are the best ones ever born;
There isn't ono among them oil
Would steal grain Of corn"
"But how shall know which ones they arc?
Do they resemble your"
"oh, no, said the crow, thoyre the prettest birds
And the whitest that ever flewl"
so of went the sportsman, whietllng,
And OF, too, went his gun;
And its startling echoes never coased
Again till the day was done
And tho old crow pat untroublcd,
Cawing away IN her nook;
For she said, "Hen never kill my birds,
Since told him how they look"
"Now there's the hawk, my ncighbor,
She'll sec what she will Sec soon;
And that saucy whistling blackbird
May have to change his tuner
When, lol she saw the hunter,
Taking his homeward track,
with a string Of crows as long "a his gun,
Hanging down his back
"Alack, alack !" said the mother,
"what In tho world have you donof
You promised to spare my pretty birds,
And you've killed them every ono.'
"Your birdsl" said the puzzled hunter;
"why, found them in my corn;
And, besides, they are black and ugly
Az any that ever were bornl"
"Get out Of my sight you stupid"
Said the Angriest Of crows;
GLOW good and fair the children are,
There's none but parent knowsi"
"Ahi sec, l see, said the hunter,
But not as you do quite;
II takes a mother to be so blind
She can't tell black from white"

SUNDAY LIQUOR LAW. Parties who
vend alcoholic spirits and lager beer on
Sunday seem to think the city ordinance
bearing thereon can be violated ad lib
itum. They think because some Of the
Fathers are topers the law was only made
as "a blind" and that while they keep
their front doors closed they can keep
their back doors open. But the police
men who were. on patrol yesterday thought
that sort of dodge was not altogether
according to the statute of the City Coun-
Gil They therefore arrested thirty-five
saloon-keepers, whom they found mixing
and doing out drinks. These gentlemen
were before the bar of Justice in the Re-
corder's Court this morning, and on each
was imposed the usual penalty for selling
on Sunday. We are well aware it goes
very hard with some to observe the Sun
day ordinance, but as long as it remains
unrepealed the police will enforce it.

The character of Fardarougha, the Miser

it is generally admitted that very few
enact it in such mastery manner as
Mr. Watkins. But perhaps the most
perfectly drawn character Of what may
be called akin to an Irish fshwoman
is that of Biddy McNulty, of the Sharp
Tongue. 1t is worth any money to see
Mrs. Rose Watkins perform it. 1t may
be called the antipode of Charlotte Cush
mans Meg Merrilies, and yet as a piece
of histrionic art it is equally as good
During its performance she will sing

DELIGHTED.-A large crowd of people
went to the dedication ceremonies at the
Springdale church, four miles from this
city, on the Memphis and Louisville
railroad, yesterday morning, and they
were all delighted with the trip, the
place, and the services. The dedication
sermon was preached by Rev. DR.. j. B.
McFerrin, of Nashville. 1t was an elo-
quent and appropriate discourse. Rev.
C, w. Johnson, of the Christian Advo-
cate, assisted in the ceremonies. The
collection amounted to $50l, just one
dollar more than was needed to clear
expenses. 1t is the wish of the people
of Springdale that their Memphis friends
would visit them every Sunday, and we
are of opinion great many during the
summer season will comply with the
wish.

ments of animal food, has never done
society so great service. He has been
successful in extracting the nutritious
material from meats, and condensing it
into small compass; but he has given
us no article that, like the Sea Moss Fa-
rine, will increase more than one-third
the quantity of wholesome bread obtain
able under ordinary circumstances from
given quantity of -four. We are not
prone to place much confidence in new
discoveries, even when announced
under the sanction of patent; but the
testimony in favor of this cheap and
simple preparation is so overwhelming,
and has been so entirely cOrroborated by
our own experience, that we cannot and
do not hesitate to recommend it most
emphatically to the attention of every
