An observer of the habits and instinct
of ants relates that vase on the mantel-
shelf in his sitting-room, which was usual Y
filled with fresh violets, was haunted by
very small red ants. The insects issued
from hole in the above, and gradually
increased in number until they formed an
almost unbroken procession. He brushed
them to the floor for several DAYS, but, as
they were not killed, the result Was that
they formed colony in the wall at the
base of the mantel, and, ascending thence
to the shelf, the vase was soon attacked
from above and below. "One day | OBJ
served number Of ants, perhaps thirty or
forty, on the shelf at the. foot of the vase
Thinking to kill them, struck them light.
Iy with the end of my finger, killing some
and disabling the rest. The effect Of this
was immediate and unexpected. As soon
as the living arrived near where their fel.
lows lay dead and suffering, they turned
and fled with all possible haste. In half
an hour the wall above the mantel-shelf
was cleared"

Our CaILDREN.-Why are they not
co1verted2 The question is asked with
anxiety, with sorrow, sometimes with
anguish Of spirit. Aud men pray as il
God was not willing to do his work, as if
the Holy Spirit was not ready, as if Christ
had not died for them and entreated them
to come to him. We forget one thing
children OF the Church are not also the
children of God, it is not that God has
failed in his promise
The promises to faithful parents are
very sure. If we do not remember them
it would do us good and strengthen our
faith to 90 over them one by one and See
what our Lord has said If there is any
failure it has been on our part. We may
not have believed.
Many persons are skeptical about early
piety and very doubtful whether children
can begin right. They have notion that
it may be better to 60 on the wrong road
for a time, and then turn around and 90
in the right one
Or, one parent may have been faithful
and the other not. All mothers piety
may fail to counteract fathers bad
influence, or father may contend in vain
against the weak or wicked indulgence Of
a mother.
Or, we may desire merely the salv alton
of our children, their safety rather than
the glory of God. Suppose by some
trustworthy revelation, We could be assured
that they would be in the end saved,
should we then remit our efforts and rest
quietly in that hope, even though by their
present course they were casting all their
influence on the side of evil ? Let us look
to it and have great searchings of heart.
The promises of God are very sure and
very plain. Waiting to be gracious" is
but one of the many expressions of his
readiness to save, if we, by our faith and
faithfulness, can make it possible.
The Bible, like life, is full of examples of
children ruined by neglect or indulgence
Isaac and Rebekah. Eli, Samuel, David
these are marked instances. And life is
full of them in our day, only they are not
recorded in any book which We can read
here. We shall hear strange things when
all is made plain, and then we shall nc
more wonder over the children of the
Church.-N. Y. Observer.

POETRY.
A NuDSrt Walk.

Purple gold ami ruby tints
Are fading in the sunless sky,
And pearly, dim. uncertain gllnts
Mark one lone star on high.
The crickets tiny bell is rung,
The last song of the bird Is sung.
Far away the din and fret
The DAYTIME hurry and the strife
The weary toll and sad greet,
Which haunt our daily life
Oh faI away tn ,Se leave m : now,
With sunsets kisses on my brow.
Leaves, which all day idly tost
Now pause to listen for the Night,
Fat riding with his radiant host,
Der hills of dying light.
Around me falls the hush of PRAYER,
And DINNER grows the pulseless air.
Peace AMI Love on all descendl
Oh. surely, in n hour like this,
Kin Heaven seems nea rer earth to bend,
To give one good night kiss
Fair home lights nov. the wanderer sees,
Like fre-fes, twinkle through the trees.
Loving ones return to him,
And rosy cheeks with love-lIght glow;
Fond hopes arise. at twilight dim,
In dreams of long ago.
And all the j ~ sweet mem 'ry gives,
Touched by the hand of sunset, lives.
Oh, tranquil sunset Of the soul,
When all the jar of earth is PastI
When storms no longer round us roll,
And heaven is near at last
We.knOw, though faint and fail we may,
Calm sunset ends the longest day.

WE learn that Dr. Tonner has as- sumed the duties of Superintendent of Indian Affairs of this Territory. He has for some time past had charge of the Colorado Indian reservation and has discharged his duties faithfully in that position, and is deserving of especial praise for the efforts he put forth to find out and expose the In- dians who murdered the stage pas sengers near Wickenberg, at the time young Loring was killed. From the past record of Dr. Tonner we believe he will make a faithful and efficient Superintendent.

MAJOR LARRABEE believing that nothing but the strong military arm of the government can control the Apaches on the San Carlos Reserva- tion, resigned his official powers to Major Brown until such time as other arrangements are made from Wash ington. A private letter from San Carlos states that Major Brown be- lieves that he can keep those still on the reservation in check and we sin cerely hope he may do so. We have full confidence in his skill, energy and bravery, but he has not more than troopsenough to defend the post in lncase of an outbreak, and the
 bands that murdered Lieut.. Amy are still lowering around to stir up mis- ohlet and commit depredations, and he has no force to follow them. They should be pursued until the last one IS taken or they will incite others that are now friendly to go to war. Such acts of treachery must be punished if we are ever to have a permanent psace.

SOME Apaches put in an appear ance last week at the ranches on the road to Sonora, above the Potrero. They killed an OK, and the farmers abandoned their ranches, crops and all, and left for more populous settle ments. Megary was one of the num- Der, he has had so many narrow es- capes that he begins to think he bears charmed life, but he showed very good judgment in leaving his farm and not trusting dame fortune too far. It is possible that the Apaches were only laying ill rations to last them to their ranches down in Sonora. They seem to have the Sonoranians "pioned" to them now, but they show very bad judgment in killing off the laborers who are engaged raising stock for them.

A PARTY of seven cattle thieves stole recently @ large band of cattle from MaxwelPs ranch. on the Pecos. They were followed and taken pris- oners and to save costs to the county and prevent another like occurrence by the same men, they were suspended between heaven and earth, and after remaining in thls position for an hour or so the attending physician gave the opinion that they would steal no more.

A LETTER from Camp Apache in- forms us that Agent Roberts in speak ing of late raids made by Apaches says: ''As soon as the Cavalry ar rives here, which i suppose will be in a few days, I will start out, and if said stock can be found on this res ervation 1 will have 1t returned to the rightful owners. I don't allow my Indians to harbor or trade for stolen stock if I know 1t, and don intend to allow this reservation to be harbor of stolen stock. I will do all in my power to get back the stock if 1t can be found here" That Is the right kind of talk and is all that can be asked of any one.

SENATOR SUMNER has been di- vorced from his wife upon the ground \of abandonment, she having left his Aed and board and absented herself in
 Arope. She was the widow of son of Congressman Hooper of Massachu- 'setts, and to marry MT. Sumner, made a great pecuniary sacrifice. She was little over twenty, while he was verging on sixty. The frosts of win ter and the spring flowers of May did not harmonize well together, and like sensible people they agreed to sepa- rate. Some unpleasant remarks have been made about Mr. Sumner in con- tequence of this separation, owing un- {oubtedly to the political eminence he occupies, but neither of the contract ing parties have ever complained of q ehch other, and we envy net the small soul who would seize upon the nfisfortunes of a mans domestic life t4 injure him.

Such Indians should be left under
 military control and that they should
 bd compelled to work for living :;
 thAt as soon as they are brought into
 dpndition of comparative industry,
 schools should be given them, and
 mi iEsionaries from ALL religious de-
 nominations should be invited to come
 an long them and do missionary work
 on the same basis as they do in for
 eikn heather lands. He is of the
 opinion that it was great mistake
 td remove five companies of cavalry
 fl Iom the Territory, and that it would
 Have been far better to have ordered
 five more companies here and kept
 them until the Indians become set
 fled If a permanent peace is desired
 without more bloodshed, his views
 bre correct, and so we have stated
 From tie commencement. He agrees with us that there never has been time when the people should travel
 with more caution than now, for there are more or less renegades from hll the reservations on the war path. bnd those on the reservations are lia- lble to break out at any moment, and unless the people are fully prepared, Large mbers may fall easy victims.
 HUGHES, clerk at the Chiricahna reservation was in town this week. and from him we learn that about two hundred Tularosa Apaches are now on that reservation. He says that the Apaches are living at differ ent points on the reservation, some of them being in the dragoon and others in the Chiricahua mountains, that Captain Jeffords is doing all he can to regulate and keep them ol. the res avation, but he is of the opinion that it\ would be much better to require tAem to muster and be counted, and thinks there would be but little dan ter now in exacting this of them. He fully agrees with us that it Is the bnly way to surely prevent treachery, hnd at the same time exempt the Apa- ches on the reservation from being when perhaps other Indians than these are doing the larger part Pf the raiding. He expresses the be- ief that not tenth of the raiding re- ported in Sonora is done from this 1eservation, and that probably a dart of 1t is done from ithe Tularosa Fservation. MT. Hughes has had l good deal of experience with va ious tribes of Indians and talks
 ike fair man, who would be glad to 'de justice done to all. If he is cor '4ct that the Apaches on this reserva- lon can be compelled to collect to- jether for a count at stated times without danger of an outbreak then f should not be delayed.
