Frightening Children.

Children are controlled by being
made to believe that something ter

punished by being shut up in dark
rooms, or by being put in places

hood, can comprehend how entirely
cruel such things are. We have Of

began, and as the mowers reached the
middle of the field they found the
stalks of the grain very much stripped
and cut up by the army worm. When
the barley was down they began to
march out of the field in a compact
stream through the barway into the
next one, and here we saw clearly
what the black birds were after. They
bounced upon them and devOured
them by thousands, very materially
lessening their numbers. The worms
are so numerous that they have not
destroyed them all, but have material

A Drink of Blood.

A reporter of the Cincinnati COM
AfERCIAL went around among the He
brew slaughter-hOuses of that city the
other day, and at one place he drank
a glass of bullock's blood, a beverage
that is often INDUCED in by consump-
tives-and then he went home and
wrote about its effect in this way:

and the most timid with the warm
glass in his hand must be treasured by
one glance at its clear contents. He
will forget all the familiar feelings Of
sickness conjured up by that terrible

KISSING FOR THE chill

Kisses in the morning

Filling every corner
With a CLEAN of light;
And what happiness lac misses
Who, affections impulses scorDing
Departs, and gives no kisses
To the children in the morning.
Many think it folly;
Many say it's bliss;
Very mach depending
On whose lips you kiss!
But the truth am confessing,
And I'D have you all take warming,
If you coyet any blessing,
Kiss the children in the morning,
Kisses in the evening
When the lights are low
Set two hearts dancing
With affections glow,
And the angels swarm in numbers
Round the pillow they are press ng
Who are woed to peaceful slumbers
By dear ones fond caressing.
Kisses in the morning
Are not out of place;
Kisses in the evening
Have special grace;
And il seems to me that this is
For indulgence lawful reason
Sweetest tulips-I mean kisses!
You are never out of reason!
