Twas a Piece Of ny Mothers Dress.

We heard story told the other day
that made our eyes moisten. We have
determined to tell it, just as we heard
it, to our little ones:
"a company of poor children, who
had been gathered out of the alleys and
garrets of the city, were preparing for
their departure to new and distant
homes in the West. Just before the
time for the starting Of the cars, one of
the boys was noticed aside from the
others, and apparently very busy with
cast off garment
The superintendent stepped tip to
him and found that he was cutting a
small piece out Of the patched lining
1t proved to be his old jacket, which
having been replaced by new one,
had been thrown away. There was no
time to be lost. Come, John, come :!
said the superintendent, what are you
going to do with that old piece of
calico,?"
"Plsase sir" said John, 4 am cut
ting it to take with me. My dear dead
mother put the lining into this old
jacket for me. This was a piece Of her
dress, and 1t IS all I shall hare to
yshse7ster her by.'-And as the poor
boy thought Of that dear mothers love
and of the sad death bed scene in the
old garnet were she died, he covered his
face with bis hands, and sobbed as if
his heart would break.
''But the train was about leaving,
and John thrust the little piece of
calico into his bosom, to remember
his mother by, hurried into car, and
was soon far away fren the place where
he had seer SO much sorrow"
We know many an eye will nloisten
as this story is told and retold through
out the country, and many q prayer will
so to God for the fatherIessa and
notherless in all great cities and in ali
places. ...s 1T
Little readers, are your mothers atill
spared to you? Will you mot show
your love by cheerful obedience? That
little boy who loved SO well, we are
sure, obeyed.
Bear this in mind, that if you should
one day have to look upon the face Of
. "dear dead mother" no thought
would be so bitter as to remember that
you had given her pain by yeur
willfulness or disobedience.

With husband to scold me, with children to tease
Not any nice cottage for me, if you please!

E1W DOES He SLEEP.

lie has brain enough to furnish direc-
ton to the energy of many men. His
success or failure will be due in large
measure to the righteousness Of his Sc

must be capable. They must be faith

This last brings me to what wish to
present to my readers. ?. .. I. H.. 49,
One Of the most in portant things to
know about any man upon whom you
are going to place a1y dependence is,
Ho" he sleeps. Sleeplessness may some
times be involuntary. There may
have been some shock to the mans
nerves which has made him insonno
lent; but sleeplessness is more frequent
" voluntary. Men choose: to push
their studies or their work into those
hours when they should be asleep
1t does not matter for what cause any
man may do this; the mere fact of not
sleeping spoils his case. He may spend
his night in the theatre. in the study. or
III the ''protracted meeting" It will
make no difference; the result to The
body WILDE the same. The sleep was
not had, and for that the man must
pay. One man may do with a little
less sleep than another; but as a genef
al rule, if you want clerk, a lieuten-
ant, lawyer, a physician, legislator
a Judge, president, Or a pastor, do
not trust your interests to any man that
does not take on the average eight
good, solid hours of sleep out of every
twenty four Whatever may be his
reason for it, if he does not give himself
tl'at, he will snap sometime when you
want him to be stronger. ~ f. 80 ..-
The intellectual and moral connec-
lions of sleeping have, I think, not
been sufficiently appreciated. Men and
boys have been praised for burning
the midnight oil" Now, this enid
night OIL is delusion and a snare.
The student who is fast asleep at
eleven o'clock every night and is
wide awake at seven o'clock every morn
ing, will surpass another student of the
same intellectual ability WHO goes tebed
after twelve and rises, before FIVE. In
sleep the plate on which the picture is
taken is receiving its chemical prepara-
ton, and it is plain that which is the
best prepared will take the premium

when they are asleep are the widest

Great workers. must be great rosters.
Every man who has clerks in HIS
employ ought to know what their
sleeping habits are. The young man
who is up till two, three and four
o'clock in the morning, and puts in
his appearance st the bank or store at
nine or ten o'clock, and works all dav,
cannot repeat this process many days
without certain. shakiness coming
into his system. which he will endeaner
to steady by some delusive stimuleus.
1t is in this way that many "a young
man begins his course to ruin. He
need not necessarily have been in bad
company. He has lost his sleep and
losing sleep is losing strength and
grace.

CORN FoDDER.-Though we want to
make our pastures just as good as we
can, and desire to get all the profit
from them that is possible, yet after all
it will be perfectly safe to prepare for
a drought in July and August, by put
ing in liberal breadth of corn forfod
der, to'be fed out green if it is needed:
The sweet varieties are best, but any
kind is better than none. Sow the first
lot as early as the ground is in good
condition, and follow it with several
paintings, intervals Of 10 to Is days.
Notwithstanding all that has been said
ana written against corn fodder, or fod.
der sorn, for cattle feed in summer, We
believe its use is constantly increasing
Perhaps green grass would be better
substitute for pasture feed, if we could
grow enough of it. But few of us. as
yet, have learned how to secure green
grass, Or dried grass, in sufficient duiat,:
Titles for Our stock through the whole
year. Whom we can do that, we need
not trouble ourselves about corn fod
der; but until then, we shall be wise
to arrange for good supply of it for
the dry weather in Autumn.

Something You Can t Give Away.

A BLUsHING maiden in Vermont sues
m an for breach of contract under the fol
lowing curious circumstances: She had
farm which he wished to purchase, and
she offered the property and herself for
twenty thousand dollars, refusing to sell
one without the other. He accepted, paid
the money, got the title deeds of the land,
and felt SO we'll satisfied with his bar
gain that he restored one-half of it to her
As that half was herself she declined
the generous gift with thanks, and insist
ed he should marry her. He refused, and
she sues him for breach of contract, and
there is every indication that she will
win the suit. Now if man cannot do what
he likes with his own, it is hard indeed.
If we are to be sued and made to suffer
the penalties of the law every time we see
fit to indulge in piece Of thoughtless
generosity, some ofthe kindliest feelings
of our common nature will receive a
shock that will prove fatal to them. If
we buy piece of wooded land and de-
termine to make the former owner a
present of the wood, shall he sue us for
breach of contract?
If we buy well stocked farm, and con-
clude to give pig, COW, or horse away
shall we be plunged into a lawsuit? 1t is
unnecessary to cite further instances as
proof of the absurdity of the whole affair.
If we were that man we would marry our
prosecutor, join half a dozen clubs, a
Masonic lodge, a military company and
a sporting club, and try to make her as
comfortable as possible under the circum-
stances.--Neao York. Era.

Brute Language.

A PAIR OF loving dnser5nes-ln COM
mon parlance, a gander and a goose-had
been blessed with al interesting brood of
gOslings, which ngIOssed all their care,
and kept them as usual separated from
the flock. 1t is we'll known that, although
the mother goose does not cover her
brood with her wings like the barn door
hen, the father goose is quite as devoted
as she in providing them with food, and
in defending them from enemies. By an
unlucky accident, the cander, becoming
very lame, was compelled to forego the
pleasure of rambling with them, and to
contine himself to their sleeping place,
under the mistress porticO. His faith
full spouse, however, did not desert him
until driven to it by necessity; she and
their little darlings shared his confine-
ment, and gabbled cheertully to him, as
if waiting in hope that he would soon be
well enough to accompany them. At last
the time came for a change. Their mis-
tress, who was occupying seat on the
open floor above, heard series of pecu-
liar tones issuing in turn from the two
seniors, as if they were engaged in sad,
low colloquy. This was continued for
perhaps half an hour, when the wife and
mother was seen to leave the brood in

down to the flock, which was enjoying
their siesta upon the lawn, nearly hun
dred yards away. Then she commenced
an earnest talk, in which she was seen to
address different individuals, from whom
she seemed to receive answers. At the
close of the palaver, she returned to her
lame husband, and gabbled to him for a
time, as if reporting the result of her
Grand. This brought on another long
talk, conducted in most affectionate tones
after which the wife, goose went second
time to the reposing flock, and, to the as
constituent of the mistress, was seen to
return accompanied By d gander, acho first

and from that time forth performed faithful

The writer was not himself a witness to
this fact, but he relates it with the same
confidence as though he saw it with his
own eyes. Surely, brutes may give to
men lessons in charity! When we use
the term brutal, ought we not to modify it
by designating what brute we mean p

A Serious Loss.

ONE of the most serious losses to the
farmers of the West, especially Of the
newer portions, though the evil is seen
nearly everywhere, is that arising from
the waste Of the "coarse fodder" or trough
straw, etc. Corn is left
to ripen on the stalks, instead of being
cut and shocked, as it invariably should
be. The husking is not done till late in
October, and is often delayed even until
winter has set in. Cattle are then turned
into the fields to live off the stalks, but
they make very poor fodder after the nu-
triment has been SO thoroughly dried up
and frozen out When the small grain is
threshed the straw is allowed to go to
waste-often burned, which is most
foolish and ruinous disposition to make
Of it. Many a farmer winters his cattle on
straw and cOrnstalks, and they come out
in the spring in fine condition. But by
far the larger proportion of the farmers
allow all this food to go to utter waste.
We Judge that the loss to the average
farmer in the Western States, from fail
ure to make the best use of his trough
feed" IS at least ten per cent. annually
upon the amount of his productions. This
loss, in the course of ten years, would
amount to a handsome figure. Many may
be unable, from the lack Of means and
scarcity of labor, to utilize it-as in the
case Of the returned Californian, who
"lost 100000 the first year he was in the
Golden State, from not having hogs to
fatten on the acorns; but little progress
might be made each year looking to a
complete saving of these matters after a
while. The subject is an important one
and the farmers should make it a matter
of thought and study.-Chic0go Inter-

Early Rising.

THE philosophy which urges the ex-
cellence of early rising has been very
rudely and successfully shaken. Charles
Lamb has shown that there is as much
excess in rising with the lark and lying
down with the lamb as in the practice
referred to in Moore's song, which recon-
mends frightening of our days by taking
"a few hours from the night, my dear!"
That philosophy was shaken in the early
days of the world by two sleepy children,
who came under the rebuke of vigilant
fathers
"My son." remarked the sire, " I once
found piece of gold by rising early"
cay" rejoined young hopeful, "but
the man who lost it was up before you"
"My son." said the other worthy par
ent, "observe that it's the early bird that
catches the worm"
81 do, O my father'' replied the excel
lent bow; "also that the worm was caught
by getting up earlier than the bird."-
