Sleep-W alkers.

A gentleman 10 Illinois writes the fol-
lowing to the Scientific american
"My observation led me to believe that
sleep walking is a habit of the system.
II have noticed that children who are
allowed to go to sleep on the floor or
lounge, in the evening, and aftherward, at
some regular hour. are aroused (of course
only partially awakened) and sent to bed
will 10 time acquire the habit of sleep
walking. | have no doubt that the man
mentioned 10 the Scientific american of
July 22d, who would get up aud 90 to
the cellar for drink of wine while asleep
had been in the habit of first going for it
in the night time while awake. | pre-
sumo that the few have failed to notice
how soon the mind, by dreams, will re-
cognize habit of waking at particular
time for any purpose.
81 think that the whole philosophy OF
sleep walking has it foundation in habit,
acquired by disturbance at some regular
hour for sleep"

Mr.. First Experience.

The following is the experience of a
mechanic, concerning the benefits of
newspapers
Ten years ago lived in the town of
D., Indiana On returning home one
night, for | am a carpenter by trade,
saw a little girl leave my door with a
smile, which is encouraging to man
after a hard days labor. | asked my wife
who she was. She said Mrs. r. had sent
her lllte girl after their newspaper, which
she had borrowed. We sat down to tea.
Nv wife said to me, calling me by my
given name
II wish you would subscribe for the
newspaper, it is so much comfort to me
when you ore away from home"
Ny answer was:
| would like to do so, but you know [
owe a payment on the house and lot. 1t
will be all that | can do to meet it.
She said:
s'If you will take the paper, | will sew
for the tailor to pay for it.
| subscribed for the paper, it came in
due time to the shop. While resting one
noon, and looking over it, | saw an adver.
tisement of the county commissioners to
let bridge that was to be built.
/ put in bid FOR the bridge, and the
lob was awarded to me, on which [ cleared
$500, which enabled me to pay for my
house and lot easily, and for the news
paper. IF I had not subscribed for the
newspaper, | would nave known nothing
about the contract, and could not have
met the payment on my house and lot
A mechanic never looses anything by tax
| ing county paper.

LEARNING TO PRAY.
BY MARY L. DODGE.

From 'Hearh and Iome"1
kneeling, fair in the twilight gray,
a beautiful child was trying to pray;
His cheek on his mothers knee,
His bare little feet halfhidden,
His smile still coming unbidden,
And his heart brimful of glee.
81 want to laugh. Is it naughty? Say,
o mamma I've had such fun to-day,
hardly can say my prayers.
l don't feel just like praying;
/ want TO be outdoors PLAYING,
And run, all undressed, downstairs.
Il can see the flowers in the garden-bed,
Shining so pretty and sweet and red
And Sammy is swinging, l guess.
Oh every thing is so fne out there,
| want to put it all in the prayer.
do you mean l can do it by 'Yes'?)
"When l say, Now l lay me'-word for
1t seems to me as if nobody heard.
Would Thank you, dear Cod be right?
He gave me my nanny,
[inu Ddpil, anu SAMMY
0 mamma you nodded l might"
Clasping his hands and hiding his face,
Unconsciously yearning for help and grace,
The little one now began.
His mothers nod and sanction sweet
He'd led him close to the dear Lords
feet,
nd his words like u1uSic ran
"Thank you for making this home so nice,
The flowers, and folks, and my two white
mice.
I wish l could keep right on.)
thank you, too, for every day
Only Pm most too glad to pray.
Dear God, think am done.
"Now, mamma, rock me-just minute
And sing the hymn with 'darlin' in it.
I wish l could say my prayers
When | get big, | know | can.
Oh won't it be nice to be man,
And stay all night downstairs!
The mother, singing, clasped him tight,
Kissing and cooling her fond Goodnight"
And treasured his every word.
For well she knew that the artless JOY
And love of he precions, innocent boy
Were prayer that her Lord had heard.

A Keen Reply.

Legal bullies who ask women lmper-
tinent questions in the witness box, ought
to get their deserts, as did the solicitor
general the other day in the celebrated
Tichborne case in England. The witness
was governess, who had formerly been
employed in the Tichborne family y
Governesses in England are generally
regarded as beings who are made to be
snubbed aud insulted. SO the solicitor.
general snubbed and insulted this one,
while she was testilying to the Identity
of the claimant to the Tichborne estate
with the young heir as she knew him
twenty years before. At last she had a
chance at him which she did not hesitate
to improve "Was the young man always
polite to ladies' ? asked the solicitor gen.
eral. "IIe was, indeed, polite toward
ladies'" replied the govcrness; aud with
a we'll understood emphasis she added,
gentlemen, | believe, always are so. !"
The court room burst into a loud laugh,
and the solicitor, genral turned red in the
face.

The Philadelphia Dispatch thus relates
how female was eliminated, and the re-
suits:
a week or two ago one Of our reporters
had occasion to refer to certain woman,
whom we will call Hannah Smith, as a
denizen Of the llth Ward 4 day or two
afterward, a huge man entered the office
with his brow clothed with thunder. In
his hand he carried fearful club, and at
his side trotted bulldog whom hunger
evidently had made desperate. With the
fearlcssness Of conscious innocence We sat
still, merely inserting our legs in two Sec
tions Of stovepipe, TO guard against mis-
apprehepsions Of facts on the part of the
bulldog The man with the club ap-
preached.
Are you the editor?" he asked, spit
ting on his hands and grasping the club.
We told him that the editor was out that
he had gone to the North Pole with Capt,
Hall and he would not return before 1876,
in time for the centennial celebration.
Are you the proprietor z" asked the
man.
We explained to him that we were no.;
that the proprietors were also cut that
they had gone to South America for the
purpose OF Investigating the curative pro-
perties of cundurango, and they ex-
pected to remain there for several years.
"Well, whoever you are" exclaimed
the warrior, "my name is Smith ~
We told him We were glad because, if
there was any one thing better than the
possession Of the name Of Smith, it was
the privilege of knowing man of that
name. "But Smith," we said, ''why this
battle array? 1t is absurd for man to
put on the panoply Of war and frisk into
editors sanctums fumbling club and
accompanied by a disheartening bulldog,
simply because his name happens to be
Smith"
He said he called in to burst the head
of the man who had insulted his sister.
at is impossible, Smith, that such
; thing could have been done by any one
! in this Office"
r at is? But it was, though and her
name was published, too Miss Smith
Miss Hammer Smith"
5 MAY we be permitted to inquire, Mr.
Smith, what was the precise character Of
t the aifront offered to Hannah ?''
w ell, you see, SaIu OHltn, 'Ln6
t blackguard said she was denizen. And
E | want you to understand" exclaimed
, Smith, becoming excited, and brandish-
ing his club in a wild manner over our
head, while the bulldog advanced and
! commenced osniG up and down our stove
t pipe-"I want you to understand that
0 she is decent young woman, with good
5 character and none Of your denizens and
: such truck The man who says she is 4
+ denzen is blackguar and thief, and
!, I'll smash him over the nose if get the
j chance. They may say what they please
e about me, but the man who abuses my
sister has got to suffer n' And Smith
struck the table in violent manner with
his club, while the bulldog put his fore
leg on the back of our chair.
We pacifed Smith with a dictionary.
We pointed out to that raging warrior
; that the Websterian definition of the
world "denizen" gives such person au
unoffending character, and deprives the
term of everything like reproach. Smith
said he was satisfied and he shook hands
and kicked the bulldog down stairs.

Deserted Wife.

The Detroit Free Press tells lamenta-
bic story of a husbands perseverance and
wile's uurequited love. Such things
particular notice, but the husbands per-
sistcnce was so remarkable and so sue
cessful that it takes the case out of the
ordinary. Mr.. Messenger, of Illinois,
lately married girl about l5 years old,
and Oh account of some vague rumors
which tended to show that he was
bigamist, he took his pet wife from the
West towards the East, tenderly asking
her on the road what she would do if he
should abandon her, how she would make
a living, and putting other unsatural
queries to her. Strange to say, her sus-
picious were aroused, and when the cou-
pie come to Detroit, she would not leave
her husband alone for au instant. Such
treatment made him despondent, ana the
two retired together for the night, the
lady locking the door and putting the key
under her pillow. In the dead waste and
middle of the night, poor Mrs. Messenger
was awakened by feeling her husband
for he key he was dressed and ready to
depart. She sobbed and prayed, and the
gentleman, apparently relenting, return
ed to his couch, when his vile, having
first hidden the key under the mattress,
tied his wrist to hers with handker-
chief The lady watched for awhile, but
the drowsy god was too much for her, and
when she awoke she found that her rest
less husband had united himself, drefsed,
torn the bed quilt into strips, and using
these as rope had descended from the
window, re-entered the hotel, paid his
half of the bill, taken his baggage aud
departed, leaving her alone in the wide,
world

A FEW reasons why they should have the
~ preference over all others:
/. Wheeler d Wilson's Sowing Machine is
much simpler than any OF tho others; re-
quiring loss than half the amount Of ma
chinery.
3. AS the result Of this simplicity, this ma
chine is much less liablo than tho others to
get out Of repair.
8. Another result OF this simplicity ia
greater durability.
4. Another result is loss friction, and, con-
sequently, greater case and rapidity OF mo-
lion, with less noiso.
s.. And greatest Of all, that it uscs no Shut
tie, and makes tho lock stitch.
It is the cheapest to buy tho best, Buy tho
bly, won reputation and independence
against strong and bitter competition. For
more than twenty years has tho Wheeler l.
Wilson not only stood first and foremost, but
now stands tho un1ivalled Sowing Machine of
tho enlightened civilized world. Buy the ma
chino that has been thus tested and proved,
and then you arc sure to get the best. For

Gray Hairs.
Like the frat flake OF enow,
On some oloud-reaching hill,
While the valley below
lB blossoming still.
Through the silvery sheen
Mid the raven locks play,
Still the heart may be green,
While the temples are gray.
Like the loaves that we first
In their faded dresses see,
With the green interspersed
OF the still fruitful troe;
Though We gray hairs among
The dark tresses behold,
Yet the heart may be young
When the head has grown old.
Like the first starry CLEANS
On the brow Of the night,
While the Western sky beams
With its warm, mellow light;
Though the ringlets may Glow
Here and there 2 whito thread,
Yot the heart may still glow
Underneath a gray head.
Though the frost OF long years
Tho life currents onfold,
Till the thin form appears
Ae impasBive and cold
AB the long frozen night
At the pole, still tho head
Never yet was 30 white
That the heart was quito doad.

INTERESTING SERvIcEs.-The services at the
First Baptist Church yesterday were Of an ex-
ceedingly interesting character. The pastor,
Rev. L. n. Shlck, preached from l Samuel,
vii, IL, sermon appropriate to the opening
of the church. He entered somewhat into
the past history of the church, its sad expert
ence during and just after the late war, the
many struggles and trials through which it
had passed. and alluded, with qualification, to
Its present measure of material and spiritual
prosperity. Tears gathered in many eyes as
he feelingly spoke Of the death OF some of the
much esteemed female members Of the church
who had been recently summoned from the
scenes of this world. The church edifce has
been beautifully renovated, and Its interior
will compare tavorably with that OF any church
in the city. The occasion was one of great In
terest, and full congregation was in attend
ance. We noticed In the pulpit with the
pastor the Rev. q. A. Tupper, D. D., of Geor-
gia, who was connected with this church In
his early days.
