Just as the rays of the rising sun gilded

and penetrated the ears OF every sleeper for
a block around. 1t WAS not voice crying
"Excelsior," or a voice raised in adu-
lation of the beauties OF joyous
morning. 1t was plaintive voice, and there
was a.quaver to it as it called out: "Rsesw
When the great bell struck the hour of noon,
and the busy street was deserted by all save
the slowly meandering policeman or two,
and an OCCASIONAL lad hurrying along with

reverberated in the stairways. IL was not
the voice Of good man, admonisbing the
people 10 turn from the error OF

Mother with sleepless Babe.

The Herald of Health contains the follow,
lag question and answer:
How is a mother with restless babe to
obtain that sleep you advise? | have not
slept more than four hours night for the
past year. am losing flesh and am nearly
broken down.
ANs-Find out the cause of the slespIess
ness Of the, babe, and remove it. If you
cannot do this, then get some ono to help
you and take your sleep. Ii you don't the
consequences will DO serious. No doubt the
child has been wrongly managed in some
way. Young babies ought to pass the first
months of their lives IN the country, for its
stiffness no less than its fresh air. But
where silence is not to be commanded, baby
may bo soothed by folding soft napkin wei
with warmish water lightly over the top Of
its head, its eyes and ears. 1t is the best
way to put nervous babies asleep; we have
tried it hundreds of times. A 6ne towel
would be wet and laid over its head, the
ends twisted a little till it made sort Of
skull-cap, and though baby sometimes Tough
against being blindfolded in this way, five
minutes usually sent him off into deep and
blissful slumber. The compress cooled the
little feverish brain. dsadened sound in hi
ears, and shut out everything that took his
attention, so that sleep took him unaware,
Teething babies find this very comforting I
for their heads are always hot, and there is
fever beating in the arteries each side.

Something Like.

Close upon the shore Of Lake Winnepiss-
ogee is town, and in that town
dwels a man whom we will call Amber.
Mr. Amber keeps store and, as no is u
genial, accommodating man, he keeps for
sale everything which the good people 10
the country can reasonably expect him to
keep. Particularly has it been the practice
of Mr. Amber to keep barrel Of whisky on
tap in his cellar. One in the fall aud one
in the spring will generally carry him through.
He is very careful to whom he sells, aud, SO
far as is known, the authorities have never
given him any trouble.
One day Mr. EIiphalet Spooner entered
the store with slight protuberaucc visible
upon his left breast. Mr. Spooner was a
deacon and most proper man. He called
the merchant aside and asked him if he had
any good whisky. Amber nodded 10 the
affirmative.
"Will you let me have pint 2" and the
deacon pulled from his breast pocket pint
bottle.
Certainly" said the trader; and forth.
with he departed for the cellar. When he
returned he brought the full bottle, carefully
wiped and corked
What is to pay2"
FIFTY cents"
"Mr Spooner handed him over q fifty.
cent scrip, and then, in hesitating way,
drew the cork. He placed the bottle to his
lips and tasted just drop, TO test the quality
Of the liquor. He did this twice, aud the
expression Of his face was one of hesisatiOI
and doubt.
"Mr Amber" he said, "I'm getting this
for my wife. Is this the very best you have p

Eyes. certainly" r ... .......
"lf that is the case" The sentence
was finished with a smile, and reaching forth
for the bottle. .....
Down into the cellar went the store-keepeI
again. There was no need that he should
empty the bottle and refill it, for he had but
one solitary barrel from which TO draw, 81
he took turn around aud soon came back
wiping the bottle afresh.
II shall have to charge you eighty-ssveI
cents for this, Mr. SpooRer."
Having paid the extra charge with the
utmost chserfulness, Mr. Spooner placed tbs
bottle again to his lips aud tasted critically
"Ahi' he muttered, with bright smil,
and graceful nod, "this is something like"
And be went away entirely satisfied. AND
Mr. Amber, also, notwithstanding the frauC
ho had perpetrated, appeared to be satisfied
if one might judge from the quiet smile that
Illuminated his rubiouDd Visage.

LAL Lecture on sooldinr.

Seeding is mostly habit There is not
much meaning TO it, 1t is often the result
of nervousness and an irritable condition Of
both mind and body. A person is tired or
annoyed at some trivial cause and forthwith
commences finding fault with everything
and everybody in reach. Scolding is habit
very easily formed. II is astonishing how
soon one who INDUCES 10 it at all becomes
addicted to it and confirmed in it, 1t is "a
unreasoning and unreasonable habit. Per-
sons who once get in the way Of scolding
always 6nd something to scold about, Ii
there is nothing else, they fall 70 BcOlding
at the mere absence Of anything to scold at
1t is an extremely disagreeable habit, II is
contagious. Once introduced into family,
It'll pretty certain in short time, TO affect all
the members People in the country more
readily fall in the habit Of scOIding than
people in town. Women contract the habit
