Domestic Life of the Presidents.

Washington was married, but had no children. Adams was married and had one son, whom he lived to see President. Jefferson was a widower his wife died twenty years before his election. They had six children, all daughters, of whom only two survived infancy Madison was married, but had no chill dren. His wife was the most elegant woman that ever adorned the presiden- tial mansion. She survived him, and was for many years the pride of Wash ington society, having lived to listen to Henry Clay's farewell speech in the Senate. Monroe was married, and so was John Quincy Adams. Jackson was widower, and so were Van Buren and Harrison. Tyler was a widower when he entered office, but soon after ward married the heiress, Miss Gardi- ner, of New York. He was the only president that married during his term of office. Polk was married man and his wife survived him a number of years. General Taylor was a widower. Pierce was a married man, but Buchan- an was bachelor. The social condi- tion of such men as Lincoln, Johnson and Grant needs no reference, except to add that Grant is the first President who had daughter married while in office.

Are ParlOrs Useful.

Not long ago we noticed in one of our exchanges plea written by a wo- man in defence of the parlor, and it struck us as containing not little good sense. It is a common thing, espe- cially for men whose active hours are spent away from home, to deride the idea of having the most elegant and tasteful room in the house closed against common use and kept sacred to callers and state occasion. Ten to one the man of the house considers morn ing calls fashionable bore with no good reason for existing, and cordially hates all state occasions. The parlor strikes him as cave of gloomy mag nificence, kept not for comfort or use, but to gratify vanity and love of show On rare occasions he may enjoy some festivity there for which no other place would be exactly fitted, but he soon forgets that and thinks really the sit ting room would do as well for any lit. tie social affair that the family needs to have. f.iE
 But the woman who has taste ani delicate sensibilities, and who is anx. ious that her domestic establishment should appear well in the eyes of visi. tors, feels that the parlor is indispensa. ble. She must spend her time at home. There are het labors and her cares
 there for the most part her hours o1 rest and refreshment. She has no clut to go to, no other home to which she \can escape when the toll and worry ol

the day are over. She may do her best to keep her house neat and in good con- dition, but the rooms of common use will get disordered. Children are in genious in the promiscuous distribu- ton of playthings and Arrangement of furniture; they are needless of appear ances, and cannot be made otherwise without being made unhappy. The sit ting room is in constant use, and it is impossible to preserve in it the gloss of elegance. Curtains will get worn, carpets faded and furniture shabby :; and with the children's pranks and the housemaid's carelessness, fine orna- ments and objects of beauty are hardly safe in a common sitting room. Itmay be made cosy and comfortable, and have some sort of barbaric splendor even; but the exacting taste and desire for freshness and neatness of the model lady of the house demand something different from this.
 Is it a wonder that she would have the parlor kept sacred from everyday intrusion? That she would have one room in the which rich carpet may be preserved in its richness, in which cur tains may always be fresh and furni- ture look like new, and in which pie lures and ornaments will be safe from domestic vandals? It is pardonable pride that leads her to desire such a room in which to receive her guests, who might not always be sufficiently considerate and charitable toward the inevitable disorder of common room. It is natural for her to desire some such elegant and tasteful retreat when she is wearied with the cares of the house. hold and longs for rest and refresh ment. There she may get away for an hour from the fret and worry, and feel revived and renewed. And those state occasions, are they not worth while The festivities of Christmas eve, and tasteful surroundings, and in a room whose elegance, however unpretend- ing and inexpensive, is something diff ferent from the hackneyed and every day commonplace, and may contribute largely to the pleasant memories of a lifetime. Is it not well for the children to be admitted now and then to room which will have the charm of novelty, and convey an impression of elegance and splendor? Will it not cultivate taste and develop the aesthetic instincts It seems, after all, when we consider the plea in defence of the parlor, that its right to exist has been vindicated, and that it has it's uses. t...

Manufacture of Paper

Paper made from linen was known in Spain as early as 107O, or whereabouts, and the same authority states that sev- eral paper mills were in operation in Spain as early as 1885, the art being introduced into France and Germany some two centuries later. Paper was made in England during the reign ot Henry VIII, but the first paper mill of any importance was established by a German, named John Spellman, who was jeweler to Queen Elizabeth. The first paper mill in the United States was erected at Peterborough, near Ger after the art of printing had been in. troduced into the colonies.

The True Lady.

Beauty and style are not the surest passport to responsibility. Some of the noblest specimens of womanhood the world has ever seen presented the plainest and most unprepossessing ap- pearance. A woman's worth is to be estimated by the real goodness of her heart and the purity and sweetness of her character, and such woman with a good disposition and well balanced mind and temper, is lovely and attrac- tive Her face ever so plain and her form ever so homely, she makes the best of wives and the truest Ofmothers. She has higher aim in life than the beautiful yet vain and supercilious woman, who has no higher purpose in life than to Haunt her tinery in the streets, or to gratify her inordinate vanity by attracting flattery and praise from society whose compliments are as hollow as they are insincere.

LIVE FOR SOMETHING.

Live for something be not idle,
 Look about thee for employ Sit not down to useless dreaming. Labor is the sweetest joy. Folded hands are ever weary,i
 Selfish hearts are never gay, Life for thee has many duties
 Active be, then, while you may. Scatter blessings in thy pathway,
 Gentle words and cheering smiles Better are than gold and silver, With their grief dispelling wiles. AS the pleasant sunshine falleth
 Ever on the grateful earth, So let sympathy and kindness
 Gladden. we'll the darkened earth. Hearts that are oppressed and weary, Drop the tear of sympathy; .,. Whisper words of hope and comfort, Give and thy reward shall be- Joy unto thy soul returning
 From this perfect fountain-head, Freely, as thou freely givest '.- . Shall the grateful light be shed.

hands. Another monkey sat by with the
child's dress in it's hands, as If waiting
till the bathing was over to dress it.
Klaas stood some time watching,
bat he dared not go at once and take
the baby. The wood was full of
monkeys, and if he had made them angry
they would all have attacked him
together, and, if they had not killed
him, would not have suffered him to get
the child.
$50, after looking for long time,
and seeing how very kind they were to
the little thing, he went on to his work,
and then fastened home to tell his wife
what he had seen.
"After this he engaged two men, Jan
and Jacobus, to go with him early the
next morning to recover the child.
Accordingly they set off, each carry
ing heavy stick and a gun When
they came to the place where Klaas had
seen his child the y stood still and looked
on. This day the bathing had not
begun the monkey stood with the baby
in her arms, and two other monkeys
were seen coming up from stream near
with tub full of water carried between
them. The towels, sponge-all were
put ready. The three men went on,
and as the monkeys saw them approach
ing they became very angry, and began
chattering in an angry manner.
Klaas spoke.

baby I must take it from you (The
Africans, in common with many other
uncivilized men, think animals can under
stand what they ay)-and he lifted his
gun and pointed it to the monkey who
held his child.
Sat first she pressed it tight in her
arms, and kissed it again and again then
looked at him angry and savage, as if she
would not give up her prize. But, at
last, when she saw the men were deter
mined, and did not mind her anger, she
saw she must yield. She kissed the little
thing repeatedly, stroked it's face with
her fingers, and then, gently laying it in
the grass, ran quickly up the hillside,
and sprung into the branches of q great
tree.
"The men lost no time in taking the
baby and his tub, and getting out Of the
wood, for monkeys when excited and
angry, are very dangerous.
You can understand how delighted
poor Else was to receive her dear baby
again, and how she never left him alone
till he was grown old enough to take care
of himself"

"What is offend % asked the little

"What is offend? ?" asked the little
child.
"Making you do wrong" replied her
mother.
"But it was only one finger and one
thumb" said Lizzie.
They are two little thieves, then, for
they took what did not belong to them.
They can no longer be trusted we must
shut them up" said mamma.
Lizzie looked very sorry, while her
mother found some black cloth and put
around the finger and thumb. Her hand
felt very clumsy. She went to bed, and
arose in the morning with them still shut
up.
"Shall J. take this ugly black cloth
off now?" she asked, on going to be
washed.
"Oh, no. said mamma. "We have
no proof that they are sorry yet, there
fore it is not safe to trust them: they
may go right away to the cupboard
again
L think they are very sorry" said
Lizzie, in painful tone.
But they have not yet said So" re-
piled mamma.
Lizzie went down to breakfast with
the ugly black rags on. How she held
her spoon [ can not tell. I do not think
she ate much, for she looked unhappy.
By and by the little girl came to her
mamma, with tears rolling down her
cheeks.
Mamma she sobbed, cit was I
made my fingers naughty-I-naughty
l; I'm to blame" and soon the black rag
was off from her little fingers.

Lizzie's Naughty Fingers.

Mamma" said Lizzie, before she
was undressed for bed, :" this finger and
that thumb have been very naughty to-
day."
''What have they done?" asked her
mamma.
"They took some raisins from your
cupboard, 4" said the little girl.
"Did nobody tell them to do il? 90
asked mamma. Lizzie looked down.
IT did not hear anybody tell them, .
she answered, softly.
"Did they eat the raisens ?" asked
mamma.
"The put them in my mouth" an
swered Lizzie.
"Were you not to blame for taking
them % asked mamma. 'sYour fingers
had no right to them, you know"
They gave them to me" said the
little girl.
''But the Bible says, IF thy right
hand offend thee, cut it off. Must we
cut any part of this little hand off" asked
mamma.
