Games for Children,

There is pile of inventive genius in
Connecticut. A gentleman from New
Haven showed me some Of the sweet.
est little games for children | ever saw
| appreciate his efforts to please the
children. | believe innocent parlor
games have tendency to make home
pleasant, and keep the children from
going To the circus. He showed me
his highly interesting, moral and enter.
tanning game called "The fly leaf"
would advise every parent to get one.
1t is done in this way: Take a sheet
of writing paper Kalsomine it on one
side with gum mucilage then catch a
fly; turn the fly over on its back stick
the back of the fly on to the paper /;
then catch another fly, and do likewise;
put the flies close together, heads all
one way keep on doing this until you
get the sheet full; then turn the paper
over, and you'd swear that paper was
alive. 1t will run all around the room.
When you tire of this sport turn the
paper over, and admire the movements
of the flies legs. 1t will be a perfect
fac simile of grass swayed by a zephyr.
This will be cheaper than taking the
CHnOItH W lue country " STE IL. Lepu-
yrs are an expensive luxury nowadays.

me was thisi Catch six cockroaches

sit in front of them and see how many
chapters in the Bible they can compit
to memory before the last leg dies. This
is calculated to exalt the morals of the
young, and cause them to grow up good
citizens. The gentleman informed me
that the idea first struck him upon
hearing the following conversation be-
tween two good little boys on their way

Terrible History or the Mccormack
Family.

Old Roger Mccormack, an eccentric
and notorious character, was lately
found dead on his farm, near New
Brunswick, n. j.. under extraordinary
circumstances. Fifteen years ago he
was prosperous shipping merchant in
Philadelphia, having his country seat
near New Brunswick, where he went
every week, and where his wife and
daughter Alice, beautiful girl Of II,
lived during the summer. In 1860
Mrs. Mccormack died suddenly and
mysteriously, and soon after Alice be.
came engaged 10 young and wealthy
merchant in Philadelphia For some
inexplicable reason he broke the en-.
gagement, and suddenly went to South
America. few weeks after Alice was
found in her chamber with her throat
cut from ear to ear. The tragedy Gre
ated the greatest sensation at the time,
and the house was visited by hundreds
of people from the surrounding dis
tricts. Many openly said that the poor
girl had been murdered, and proposed
to have more rigid examination as to
the cause of her heath; but the excite.
ment finally died away, and the occur.
renee was forgotten. Mccormack
seemed bowed down with grief, but
came and went as usual for a year CT
so, and then almost entirely abandon
ed his usual residence, which was de-
clared to be haunted. Superstitious
parties declared they had seen again
and again the ghost Of Alice, had heard
piercing screams and awful groans from
the unoccupied residence. About the
lst of July Mccormack and masculine
companion returned to the house with
supply of provisions. A few weeks
since Mr.. McCormack's companion
went away, and Mccormack himself
was not seen again by any of the neigh
bors, who, wondering what had become
of him, broke into the house a day or
two ago and discovered TO tn cir horror,
lying ut full length on a cot, the body
of Mccormack partially decomposed,
while portions of the arms and linn bs
were found frightfully mutilated by
rats and other vermin. The Coroner
held an inquest, and having found that
death had resulted from natural causes,
the last of the Mccormack family was
inferred on the farm.
The ontents of box found were ex-
amined, and letters were found signed
by Joseph Mallory, Alice's lover, dated
Aspinwall, October Is, 1861, addressed
to Miss Alice Mccormack. His mar.
riage engagement with her, upon the
confession of her own parent, who,
through remorse, had divulged that in
case he Mallory married his daughter
he would wed fallen woman, and that
the cause Of misfortune was her own
father. The letter expressed the ut.
most tenderness for Alice, and closed
by bidding her an eternal farewell, as
he never expected to see her or be
happy again.

Down with the Side-Saddle.

We admit that woman looks graceful
in the side-saddle, but it is plain that in
sitting sideways on horse she is placed
at great disadvantage. 1t is difficult
for her to control vicious animal, and
in hard run or a bold leap, her seat
must be unsteady. The position is con-
strained and fatiguing, and in case OF
losing her balance, she is in danger oil
being caught and dragged by the horse.
Her long skirt is always in the way,
and it often proves moose of death.
The sides ddle represents one Of the
oldest traditions of equestrianship, and
therefore it will not be surrendered
without a stubborn fight. We can
scarcely expect woman to. form so beau.
tiful a picture with each foot in a stir

place we Will grow accustomed to it as
we have grown familiar with other in.
