Mother, you had better say "no"
decidedly when your little girl asks
if she may go to stay all night with
Mollie, or Kitty, or Bell; and new
er consent to your little boys re-
quest to be allowed to spend the
night with one of his school-mates.
Tell them that the night was made
to sleep, and not for long talks
while lying in bed. Explain to
them what blessed thing sleep is
-"tired natures sweet restorer"-
and what a good thing it is to get
habit of going to bed and to sleep
regularly at an early hour, so that
body and brain may both get plen-
ty of quiet rest, so necessary for
their growth and healthful activity.
Then give them clean, and we'll
aired beds, in rooms where there is
plenty of pure air all night long,
and let them sleep till they wake
themselves in the morning.

The Number Of Type in "a
Newspaper.

The Poughkeespie Edgte, in an
article on GLOW mistakes happen
in newspapers" figures up the num-
Der of types used in a newspaper
the size of the Eagle at 100000,
the actual number of bits of metal
arranged and rearranged every day
in preparing newspaper the size
of the Eagle for the press. We
suppose few people think of the
printing trade as the most exact
and particular business, but it is.
In making type, variations that
might be allowed in the machinery
of the finest watch would render
the type useless. 1t is very rarely
that type furnished by two separ-
ate foundries can be used together
without a good deal of trouble,
though they try to make it after
the same standard. We read once
in while of a wonderful piece of
cabinet work or mosaic work, con-
tanning ten, twenty or fifty thous-
and pieces, the maker Of which has
spent months or even years of la.
Dor in producing it, and people &C
TO see it as great curiosity, bu
the most elaborate and carefully
fitted piece of work of this kline
ever made does not compare witt
that which the printer does ever,
day. The man who does the frs
is looked upon as an artist-a mar
vel Of skill, and if hundred of hi
pieces are put in wrong side up, O
turned the wrong way, it is not oh
served in the general effect-but
the printer, in fitting ten times a
many pieces together in the sam
day, puts one where another shoul
be, or turns one the wrong way
everybody sees it, and is amazed a
"the stupid carelessness Of thos
stupid printers"

Alas for wells From the tiny
infant in the nurses arms to the
ancient widow in her weeds, the
whole sex is yelled. Wells answer
many purposes. They conceal de-
fects, they heighten beauty, they
cover grief, and so we see whole
race of women of every age, style
and condition, laying foundations
for diseases of the eye through an
almost needless fashion. These
binders are of every conceivable
style, from white dot on the child
to the English Grape on its grand
mother. The best occulists give
testimony against this wholesale
wearing Of wells, and we think they
should make protest against It
even at the risk of injury to their
, calling. At least let the mother;
of to-day look to it that they will
be held responsible, in another gen
J Grafton, for suffering their little
: ones to go yelled, as the matrons o
a past generation were for allowing
tight lacing and all the evils which
J that distressing practice entailed.

We have heard so many affecting
incidents Of the overflow that it is
really refreshing TO hear anything
as ludicrous as the following:
The little town Of Pearlinton, on

quenuy the place is well peopled
with negro laborers. @

1t is not selfishness in themselves,
but selfishness in others, at men
hate. Every man wants his wife,
his children and his neighbors to
love him supremacy. Everybody
thinks that everybody else ought
to keep their temper. Every man
draws the reins tight in regard to
other people, but allows himself the
widest latitude.

1t is cruel and cowardly in any
man to speak to a woman under
his own roof in a manner that
would forever disgrace him, II

how many do it, alas and even go
their way after it, sclfishly forget
ting the tears and the bitterness
they have caused, and selfishly ex-
pecting if they remember it at all,
that on their return the domestic
sky will be without cloud. More

is there danger in tie air, for til n
too often comes deceit, and hypo-
crisy and Indifference.

Swearing.

One Of the saddest sounds is that
Of human being swearing. What
is the meaning of such nonsense as

a soul in your body? Who sent
His Son to be your Friend and
Saviorl Who opens heaven to
youl Whose earth do you live on
Whose sky is over your head
Whose sun shines upon you
Whose Sabbath do you rest on 7

he not great and goodl Should
you not love him, and mind him
and enjoy hint
Yet what does the, swearer do .
he takes Gods name in vain He
uses it upon a thoughtless and
wicked tongue. Did God forsee

Daily, men, women, and children
are passing away, and hourly in
some graveyard the sod is flung mp
on the dead. AS often in the morn
we find some flower that blushed
sweetly in the sunset has vithered

from the bivouac to stand at our
posts, we miss some brother soldier,
whose CHEEKY cry in the sieges and
struggles of the past, has been as
fire from Heaven upon our hearts.

an Eastern shower from the hills,
and death viii be a triumph and a

He really is very becomingly at

vain of his appearance. 1t quite
spoils the beauty of his dark face
when one sees the look so plainly
asking for admiration that CLEANS

ban, made of the finest of book

looks at his long shirt and full
trowsers of equally white and fine,
but more substantial, jaconet mus
lin. And upon his girdle, made by
winding about his slender waist
nine or ten yards of light blue
plaided silk, fastened in front by a
knot, from which long ends hang
gracefully down almost to his feet,
which are shod with the prettiest
Of green sandals. No doubt he
thinks himself the most worthy to
be admired Of any dandy in all
