How TO PuT CHILDREN TO BBD.-Not

omission or commission. Take any other
time but bedtime Tor that. If you ever
heard little creature signing or sobbing
in it's sleep you could never do this.
Seal their closing eyelids with a kis. and

soon, when they will lay their heads
upon their pillows, lacking both. Let
them then at least have this sweet MEM
ory of happy childhood, of which no
future sorrow. or trouble can rob them.
Give them their rosy youth. Nor need
this involve wild license. This judicious
parent will not so mistake my meaning.
If you have ever met the man or the wo-
man whose eyes have suddenly filled
when little child has crept trustingly
to its mothers breast, you may havs

! Agassiz as a Boy.

The story is told of Prof. Agassiz that
he was a p DOR Swiss lad, who, refusing to
turn penny by his fathers trade, began
alone to spell ont the alphabet of Nature
in rocks and birds and beasts, The
knowledge did not promise TO help him
one whit among his neighbors did not
put shoes on his feet, or salt i'll his por-
ridge; a comfortable home and successful
business waited for him, but he chose 10
go wandering through the Alps, hatchet
in hand, and often but sou in his pocket,
"a sum so little, she said, whenmy hunger
was so big" So hungry and -half:clad, he
followed for years the halt-effaced signs Of
his unknown language, as a'child might
trace the footsteps OF lost mother. At
last he, made his. way to Londop,, to Sir
Roderiak Murchison, who, he Thought,
conld help him. "Well sir, what do you
know 2, demanded the great naturlist,
noting his beardless chin and 'ruddy
cheeks. 81 think" hesitated the lad" a
little about fishes. "That night at meet
ing OF the Royal Society, Sir Roderiek,
held up a covered package. 81 have
here" he said, ga fish which existed in
such an era"-some time long before
Adam was born, and proceeded to state
the exaetrconditon and position in which
it was found.-"Can our young friend,
who knows something about fishes, tell us
anything about ?" Wherenpon the
Swiss boy promptly drew upon the black
board skeleton monster OF which the
real one, when uncovered, proved TO be
the exact duplicate, and then the old
grey boards present recognized him as one
of themselves and gave him place, very
much as the Kings in Hades rose to re-
ceive Napoleon. .-7.7r.t,,

-AMoUNT OF SLEEP,-Those who think
most require the most sleep. The time
saved from necessary sleep is destructive
to mind, body, and estate. Give yourself,
your children, your servants-give all
under you, the fullest amount of sleep
they will take, by compelling themto go
TO bed at some regular, early hour, and
to rise in the morning the momeht-they
wake and within fortnight, nature,
with almost the regularity OF the rising
sun, will loose the bonds OF sleep the mo-
ment enough repose has been. secured tor
the wants of the system. This is the
only safe and efficient rule /; and as to the
question how mach sleep any one requires
each must be rule for himself, great ma
ture will never fail to write it out to the
observer under the regulation just given.

An Ingenious Instrument.

Droz, mechanic of Geneva, produced
clock which excelled all others in in
genuity. On it were seated negro, a
shepherd, and a dog. When the clock
struck, the shepherd played 6 tunes on
his flute, and the dog approached and
fawned upon him. This wonderful ma
chine was exhibited to the King of Spain,
who was greatly delighted with it.
'The gentleness of my dog" said Droz,
''is his least merit. If your Majesty
touch one of the apples which you see in
the Shepherds basket you will admire
the animals fidelity"
The King took an apple, and the dog
flew at his hand, barking so loud that the
Kings dog, which was in the room, be-
gan to bark also. At this the courtiers,
not doubling that it was an affair of
witchcraft, hastily left the room, crossing
themselves as they departed. Having
desired the Minister of Marine (the only
one who ventured to remain) to ask the
negro what o'clock it was, the Minister
did SO, but obtained no reply. Droz then
observed that the negro had not yet learn
ed Spanish, upon which the question was
repeated in French, when the black inn
mediately answered him. At this prodigy
the tirmness of the Minister also forsook
him, and he retreated precipitately, de-
claring that it must be the work of a
supernatural being.

How a Man Feels When he Freezes.

LAST night, Dr. j. T. Mcmillan, young
dentist of this place. who was returning
from a visit to North Middletown, small
country village of this county (situated
about ten miles northeast from here), was
found by a negro man employed by Mr..
Frank Ford, and who was returning
home from Paris, about half past nine
O'Clock, in an insensible condition, and
almost frozen to death. We give the
doctors own account of his journey, and
his miraculous escape from the icy
clutches of the grim monster:
II started from North Middletown at
61s o'clock, with sufficient wrapping, as
thought, to protect me from cold. After
having proceeded about three miles on
my journey, my feet became very cold.
By stamping my feet upon the floor of the
buggy imagined | was perfectly warm,
as my feet troubled me no longer, and
the cold sensations through my body
ceased. I, however, felt dull and sleepy,
like man who is drunk. l didn't care
for anything. At this point 1 believe l
began to freeze, and ought to have known
it, but felt so comfortable that l did not
examine my situation. After had driven
about, three miles further my hat was
blown off, but. being in hurry to reach
Paris, did not stop to hunt for it. When
| had proceeded perhaps mile further,
letting the reins lie in the bottom of the
buggy, and paying no attention to my
driving, my horse SHE'D off the side of
the road and ran upon rock pile. i
then attempted to get the lines
and pull him of, when I discover
ed l had lost the entire use
of my right, and could barely use the left
hand; with this one I attempted to pull
him off the rocks, but, the buggy wheels
being locked, could not do it. then
got out of my buggy, and in doing so
struck the bridge of my nose across the
wheel and cut it severely. 1 then went to
the head of the horse, took hold of the
bit and attempted to pull him round, but
he would not move. l then commenced
to unharness him, with the expectation of
pulling the buggy off the rocks myself,
feeling all the time very sleepy. When 1
had almost completed the task of unhitch-
ing the horse from the buggy the desire
for sleep became so great that I could
bear 1T no longer, and laid down upon
the rocks by the side of the horse and
| went to sleep. I must have lain there
some fifteen or thirty minutes, when I was
aroused by the boy who found me. Upon
his asking me where he should take me,
told him to Paris, still not being aware of
my critical condition. Upon arriving in
Paris my feet were put in cold water
which entirely, think, cured them, as
they do not hurt me this morning My
left hand does not give me much pain, and
think will be all right in a few days;
but my right hand was badly frozen, moth
ing seemed to dositany good, and L am
afraid l shall lose three, if not all four, OF
my fingers. Last night when arrived in
Paris, could give no account of myself,
but this morning / remember every Incl,

By MRS. MARY B. DODGE.
TOMORROW, beautiful day,
Is waiting for you and for me:
Bluest skies of soft shining ray
Are impatient the shadows to flee.
Why care if the landscape be sullen and grayf
Tomorrow viii chase all the cloud-racks away.
Tomorrow you say. may be dull,
With the leadened-hued face of to-day,
Wait: its morrow with measure is full
OF a Joy never spilled by delay.
If to-day born Of yesterday battle our will,
Tomorrow, tomorrow is radiant still.
Tomorrow is mantied in white
As pure as the soft falling snow,
That rounds into wares of delight,
To cover earth pitiful woe.
The gale may be signing, the frost king astray
Yet tomorrow viii sparkle in crystalline spray
Tomorrow with roses is crowned,
tendereycd sylph o. the May;
Finging garlands of blossoms around
In child like, improvident way.
To-day may be barren. chill in the air;
To-morrow young spring-lif will bud everywhere
Tomorrow the birds without fear,
Entlng hack to the woodlands again,
Will sing, for the summer that's here
fuitthroated, ravishng strain
The world, now so silent of bird or of bee,
Tomorrow shall echo With refuent glee.
Tomorrow Is regal for ALL
With a scepter of love in her hand;
The weary but wait for her call
To spring to the fuilfruited land
O er the span of to-day we may tcarfuy grope,
But the arch OF to-T.orTow is glowing with hope

taohed to different parties as individual
judgment might determine, it was recog-
nized that the rights Of the colored race
would be respected by all, and that ques-
tion pass finally out Of politics. Its
safety would lie in division of it's sof.

has such consideration for the welfare
OF the freedom obtained with those in
power? Has not policy the very re-
verse been pursued with regard to them i?
has not an active partisanship been de.
manded OF them? has not their vote
been welded absolutely as unit? and
has not the result of all this been pro-
tracted alienation, disreputable govern

external control. which, by teaching po
llt1cnl dependence, uses q race thus
emancipated as threat and means Of
dominating the suffrage of all opposed
to its continuance in power, substan-
TALLY puts the achievements Of the war
at the peril OF single Presidential CAM

that very thing which constitutes it's
gravest charge against former adversa-
ries. and does it from purely selfish con-

as an appanage won by force to be only
administered in spirit of force. and to
be taught to rely upon external force for
maintenance. Must they not, however,

u6V0 neatu many stories told OF the SUI
feriDgs of trip in an immigrant ship
from Europe to America, and read de-
tails OF many very shocking cases of
barbarity practiced upon the poor immi-
grant by barbarous officers 81 ships: but
we have been furnished the particulars,
by several Germans who arrived in this
city few days ago from Germany, of q
series Of barbarities practiced upon the
passengers OF the immigrant ship Hol-
land, of the Liverpool and New York
line, that exceed in infamy and outrage
anything OF the kind we have heretofore
heard or read.
The Holland arrived ut New York OH
the Oath OF March, after O long and
boisterous trip, with $50 passengers
aboard, all immigrants, being at least 200
more than she had accommodations for.
A number of these immigrants were for
Louisville, where they arrived the latter
part OF last week, and from some of
whom we get these particulars. The
vessel had been at sea but few DAYS
when it was discovered the stock of pro-
visions was not only Of tho poorest qua-
lity, br was also very light. In less
than week all the flour, potatoes, and
other vegetables were exhausted, and
the passengers were reduced to diet of
ship biscuit and horse beef, and this of
the poorest quality, and doled out in the
smallest portions.
Starvation began to stare the wretohed
immigrants in the face, although the
ships officers and crew seemed to have
plenty of good and healthy food. To all
appeals for fair division of this food
among the immigrants, the officers and
crew answered only with curses and
blows. Sickness broke out among the
immigrants, and in their desperation,
some of them made an effort to secure
more food, but were knocked down and
kicked and beat by the crew. Many of
these miserable people, men, women and
children, we're exposed on deck to the
cold, and were badly frozen. Our ir-
formants state that tho captain and mate
of the vessel were particularly brutal
and cruel in their treatment of the poor
immigrants, and as consequence of all
their sufferings, there was much sickness
and many deaths during the trip.
TO such degree Of starvation were
these immigrants reduced, that when
their scanty allowance of food was issued
to them they had to fight for its posses
sion, the desperation of the half.atarved
passengers. under the impulse of self
preservation. leading them to try to tako
by force from the weakest their share of
the wretched food. The horse beef, our
informants state, was absolutely half
rotten, aud its stencil almost sitting;
yet the immigrants were forced to eat it
to save themselves from O horrible death
by starvation. The limbs Of many wo-
men and children, as we'll as number
Of men, were so severely frozen that in
many cases amputation will be necessary.
A report of the sufferings of these immi-
grants was made to the authorities at
New York, but our informants say no
attention, 80 far as they know, was paid
to it. It is d case that requires the most
rigid Investigation, and if the facts are
as stated to US, the captain and other
officers of the ship should be brought to
the speedicst and severest punishment.
