bright-eyed little boy, about four years
old. His parents we're devotedly attach

the church, and his father was an officer
IN it, but because of his timidity. had
never erected family altar in his home,
and, in consequence Of this, little l.
had never heard his fathers voice in
prayer. Is mother had taught
her little boy to pray every evening be-
fore retiring. and was earnestly trying
to raise him up in the nurture and ad-
monition Of the Lord. One evening.
after the little fellow arose from his
knees. as he was climbing into bed. he

DUTIES oF AOTHER.-She should
be firm. gentle. kind, always ready TO
attend to her child She should never
laugh at him-at what he does that is
cunning-never allow him to think Of
his looks. except TO be neat and clean
in all his habits. She should teach him
TO obey look--to respect those older
than himself she should never make
command without seeing that it is per-
formed in the right manner. Never
speak Of the child's faults or foIbles, or
repeat his remarks before him. II is a
sure way to spoil child Never re-
prove a child when excited, nor let your
tone of voice be raised when correcting.
Strive 10 inspire love not dread-res-

ing and educating a soul for eternity.

The following dispatch to the New
Orleans Times, dated April Goth, seems
to bode no good for Vickburg:
r For a long time steamboatmen have
predicted that sooner or later, the river
would find It's way through the cutoff
on the peninsula Just south Of the old
site Of De Soto opposite this city.
Vicksburg people have viewed the
possibility Of that event with alarmed
apprehension, as the turning Of the
river channel through the cut would
result In the saving Of about thirty
miles of river navigation, the conse-
quent adoption Of that route by
steamboatment, and the leaving OF
Vicksburg out In the cold. inasmuch
as the new channel would strike the
river at points considerable distance
above and lelow The city. True TO
these predictions, the enroll Is practt-
cally made OF last.
Al two o. clock to-day, the pealnsnia
yielded 10 the force ofihe CarFant and
quickly an immense dow OF water
