The Indianapolis Ne,cs of recent date says
Yesterday young girl applied at a drug
store, and after considerable diffidence whis-
pered to the clerk that her mistress, a theat-
rical lady, had sent her for ten cents worth
oflove powders. 1t was queer mixture for
this apothecary to compound, and he must
needs know all the symptoms of the disease
that demanded such curative agencies. A
young man had been calling and calling for
months past. Either .diffidence or lack of
warmth had prevented him from talking brlsi-
ness, and now her mistress wanted some
thing to soften his heart and bring him to
terms. The clerk consulted his pharmaceuti-
cal works without relief, and finally from his
own resources compounded ofpowdered rheu-
barb, sweet quinine, assafetida, &C., mix
ture that will certainly bring matters to
crisis, either favorably or otherwise The re-
suit is yet to hear from.''

ENGLISH PRINTERS COMING TO AMERICA
The London correspondent of the Weekly Trade
Circular writes as follows
The London Society of Compositors, in
taking the part of its members, has often i'm.
posed such unjust rules that the masters rebel
whenever opportunity occurs. Some time ago
the society was all-powerful, and though it still
has great power, its influence is on the wane
Their late movement for g reduction in the
hours of labor has increased the cost of print
ing without giving the laborers any pecuniary
benefit. Indeed, it is very questionable if the
men, having an extra six hours week on
hands, are not worse off than heretofore; as to
be able to enjoy such hours af idleness an ad-
ditional six hours pay ought to be given, or
they will dip more deeply into their regular
wages. There are still large number of COM
positors upon strike, and there is but little
chance of work being found for all until au-
tumn is well advanced, as many of the men
were old employees, who, having been retained
after their prime had passed, were really doing
their employers service in striking, while, by
reason of their age inirmities, or incapacity,
they are unlikely to gain permanent sits in
other houses. We hear rumors that move
ment is on foot for sending some of these un-
fortunates to the United States and Canada, as
an idea exists among many individuals in this
country that the transatlantic printers are
are making fine harvest.

THE EIGHT HOURS LABOR MOVEMENT
The laboring classes of New York for some
weeks past have been striking for the adoption
of an eight hour rule without any decrease OF
pay. They have met with various success
The most successful have been the iron and
metal workers. To-day this Iron Workers
League has capital of three-quarters of a
million dollars and weekly income from sub
scriptions of their own men who are working
on the cight-hour principle and from other So
cieties reaching seven thousand dollars. The
leaders declare that the strike is now self-sup-
porting-that is to say, that they have funds
enough to take care of all the men who may
quit work. The consequence is that the move
ment is spreading in all directions, new inn
pulse has been given to the strike in every
trade, and the trouble already experienced Sc
riously in some quarters is likely to extend to
the railroads and into every manufacturing
district.

How TO PUT THE CHILDREN TO BED
Not with a reproof for any of that days sins OF
omission or commission. Take any time but
bedtime for that. If you ever heard little
creature signing Or sobbing in its sleep you
could never do this. Seal their closing eye
uI come' @. all too ho' @ when they will lay their
heads upon their pillows lacking both. Let
them, then, at least have this sweet memory Of
happy childhood, of which no future sorrow
can rob them. Give them their rosy youth.
Nor need this involve wild license. The Judi
cious parent will not mistake my meaning.
If you have ever met the man or woman whose
eyes have suddenly filled when a little child
have seen one in whose chidhood's home dig
nifty and severity stood where love and pity
should have been. Too much indulgence has
ruined thousands of children too much love,
never.
