Proper Books for Children.

A sensible writer has published some
very proper reflections upon this topic,
Tor the consideration Of parents aud
guardians and all who have the care OF
children. Parents especially should be
particular as To what their children read
1t is within their power to mould the
childs taste either in right or wrong
directiou-to make il fond of substan
tial literature, or Of trashy stuff which
dissipates both mind and morals. When
relish for reading begins to manifest
itself, children should be supplied with
the best OF books-standard works,
which they eau 10 future years assert
with feeling of pride that they have
read. They should not be left by pa.
rents to peruse whatever may happen
to come in their way
More than half OF the so called sun.
day school books are OF trashy order
Nine.tenths of the children's stories,
are of a milk aud water order, aud
weakening rather than streDgt heuing TO
the intellect. 1t is better for Juvenile
to read nothing than to become afflicted
with iondness for fash stories, written
to sell.
The saving Of time is another point
to be looked at. While your children
are wasting their hours over the mis-.
cellaneous books, which, ia Que way aud
another, come into their possession, they
might be perusiug standard authors
works which they may not have time to
read in after years. Who OF us do not
regret that we did not ia youth peruse
books which the pressure of business or
domestic duties now prevent US from
reading? We repeat then, let parents
see to it that their children have valua
BILE instead of trashy books ut their
command. Ii there are no Libraries at
hand, buy good books for the juveniles

The Original Shylock.

A correspondent of the Jelcih Cl,ron-
icie calls attention to the fact that the or
iginal Shakspeare's Shylock was a Chris
tan, aud not jew, He quotes from
the llth book Of Gregorio Let's Biog-
raphy of Sixtus V in proof of this. 4
Roman merchant, named Sechi, heard
that Admiral Francis Blake had con
quered Sac Domingo, and commuuicat
cd the news to Jewish merchant
named Ceneda. The latter was so conf
dent in the falseuess of the news that,
after repeated protestations, he said, 81

tian, who caused bond to be drawn up
to the effect that 10 case the report
should prove untrL then the Christian
merchant, Siguor Paul NJ. Sechi, is
bound to pay the Jewish merchant the
SUN Of 900 scudi; and, on the other
hand, If the truth Of this news be con.
firmed, the Christian merchant, Signor
Paul NJ Sechi, is justified and empow-
cred to cut with his own hands, with a
well sharpened knife, pound Of the
Jews fair flesh, of that part Of the body
it might please him. When the news
proved true, the Christian insisted on
his bond but the Governor, having
got wind Of the affair, reported it to the
Pope, who condemned both Jew and
Christian to the gnlleys, from which
they could only be rausomed by paying
a tiae Of 1000 scudi to the hospital Of
SiAtine Bridge.

The cavin9 10 Of all the bluffs on the
eastern side Of the Mississippi from Cairo
to New Orleans has led TO curious con.
illusions II is said that the motion of
the earth on its axis or some result OF
some general law Of nature must have
begotten the uniform aud constant
abrasion of the eastern shore Of the
river. Fort Pillow has wholly disap.
peared. There is not yeslige of the
earthworks erected by Gen. Pillow aud
Others at Randolph. The river has cut
cavernous depths for its strong currents
beneath the everlasting hills, aud these
having slowly crumbled aud fallen, a
grain Of sand at time, into the abysses
Of the mighty deep.
Now and then hillsides have disap.
peared in a single night, and, curiously
enough, this work of desolation goes on
mainly upon the eastern side Of the
river. At Memphis, as at Wick burg,
Columbia, Fort Pillow and Randolph,
the resistless, fathomless river, whose
course none may anticipate add none can
resist, pursues its appointed task with
force aud persistency which has lessen.
ed P roperty values between Wolf River
aud Fort Pickering many millions Of
dollars. Great as is the damage done
by the mighty river the calamity begun
is steadily progressive, and none can
tell when a detection of the willlul
current may relieve the anxiety Of those
owning property along the river shore
between the navy yard aud Fort Pick
ering. The city once imagined that in
the aavy yard it had basis of credit to
be used in the perfection OF its railway
system. The Little Rock road ut one
time was strengthened in its resources by
mortgage on the hayward.
The mortgage subsists, but the pro.
perty has been disposed of by a power
against which chauccry may issue its
thunders in vain. Plainly enough
while tAe river holds its presen. course,
there is no assignable limitation to its
destructiveness.

Advice to Wives.


Wives often regret that their hus.
bauds do not talk with them. This is
not the place to discuss the shortcom
ings Of man, but somtimes when
have listened to the fault finding, the
garrulous repetitions, frivolous details,
aud childish exactions Of sympathy aud
attention with which some women bore
their homes, | have thought that the
fault was not altogether the husbands
1t is great loss ii man is Silent when
with his wife aud children. The hus
band aud wife live so much Of the time
in different worlds that intercourse can
be great help and pleasure to each of
them. You will not be likely to make
a man talk BY telling him he ought to
talk, or scolding him because he does
not do so. Make il pleasure for him
10 talk with you. Exercise good sense,
good temper and tact in drawing him
out on topics Of interest to himself.
BE patient under his moods Of silence.
BE deserving the companionship Of a
sensible man. Avoid talking of per
sous, or Insignificant details concerning
yourself or your work. Have something
interesting and valuable to say. The
story Of your child's prattle may be full
Of Interest. The number of pies you
have made, or the rooms you have swept,
may not be worth repeating. Cultivate
the graces Of character, speech, and
tones of voice, aud you may find that
the man who was glad to escape from
the loquacious, complaining, exacting
woman, goes reluctantly from her who
knows when to talk aud when TO be
silent; "who openeth her mouth with
wisdom, aud whose tongue is the law
Of kindness"

British Farming.

BY judicious system of rotation aud
rest to the laud, aud by the turning 10
of green crops, the English farmers
have brought their land to the highest
productiveness, and keep il so, with
comparative ease. Here the land is
worked too much. and even with con.
slant manuring it does not produce the
best crops, but gradually deteriorates
Then the forcing system by the use Of
phosphates, guano, 30. is resorted to
without results adequate to the outlay.

farmer who depended 90 phosphates
for crops had better shut up shop"

But dropping leaves
Reveal the bud that's newly formed,
That, by the autumn sunshine warmed,
New strength receives.
The covering
Drops OF our soul, as the leaf doth,
And shows the fruit-bnd 10 its growth,
Waiting for spring. ~
The autumn Is
The sister of spring, and clasps
Her hand cross winters chasmi grasps
The coming bliss.
And so We lie,
With souls that mediate upon
The year TO come, the year that's gone,
Aud wait reply.
To questions broad;
While shadows Of eternity
Wave across our souls which see
But dimly God.
The untranslate
Within Us stirs but, strong and wise,
Gods band lies heavy on our eyes;
We feel it's weight.
And, powerless,
We lie throughout the winters cold,
And hide our feelings manifold
In lowliness.
Yet all is right
The tree that last year blossomed we'll,
And bore Of fruitage branches full,
This year bears light.
And souls, as trees,
Must have their rest, their winter-time,
Hidden beneath It's snow and rhine,
As SHOWS hide these.
When warm days come
The buds stir meath their covering;
Our thoughts awake we dream Of spring
And press for room.

LIQUID PoLIsH.--The preparation
Of blscklead ready for use in a fluid

The composition adopted consists of
black lead, such as is used for polishing
stoves aud for other uses, combined with
turpentine, water, and sugar or saecha-
rine matter, and the proportions which
have been found to answer well are, 10
each pound by weight of the blacklead,
one gill Of turpentiue, one gill Of water,
and Que ounce Of sugar; but these pro-
portions may be varied, and in some
