Putting Children to Bed.

Not with a reproof for any of that days
sins OF omission or commission. Take any
other time but bedtime for that. Ifyou
ever heard little creature signing and
sobbing in its sleep you could never do
this.-Seal their closing eyelids with a kiss
and a blessing. The time will come all too
soon when they will lay their heads upon
their pillows lacking both. Let them at
least have this sweet memory of happy
childhood, of which no future sorrow or
trouble can rob them. Give them their
rosy youth. Nor need this involve wild
license; the judicious parent will not so
mistake my meaning. If you have ever
met the man or woman whose eyes have
suddenly filled when little one has crept
trustingly to its mothers breast, you may
have seen one in whose childhood's home

pity should have been. Too much indul-
gence has ruined thousands OF children;

PoRT-AU-PRISCE, Hsyti,
September l3, 1878.

September l3, 1878.
SIR:-I have the honor to inform you Of
the devastating effects OF an unusually Sc
we're cyclone which during the Sd and 4th
insts., broke its impetus upon the Sonth-
western peninsula OF the Haytien territory.
The cyclone arose within the limits of
the caribbean Sea, ard appears to have
| confined its ravages within the 10th ami
| 18th degrees, north latitude, spending its
| force upon the entire south coasl-llne of
| this island, while the sections north of the
city of Port-au-Prnce are exempt from Its
| destructive effects. At Jacmel, the loss Of
| property has been great. The mountain
| torrents on one side inundated, while, on
| the other hand the menacing attitude of
the ocean, and the power of the wind,
combined, threatened to obliterate that
| city. The Government wharves were
swept away; houses uprooted bodily from
! their foundations. and one vessel, after
having been driven into the town limits,
and injuring one house, was wrecked. At
Aux Cages, Cavailon and at Acquni, the
loss OF life and property is appalling. AT
the former place, hundreds of houses have
been unroofed and otherwise destroyed;
while the last named places are almost en-
tirely obIlterated.
During this cyclone, and on the Sd and
lth inst, two American schooners named
respectively the Halle c. Bunker of
Ellsworth, Maine, aud the ''Wardwell," of
New York, were completely wrecked, the
former in, and the latter near, the port OF
Jeremie, iiayt. No lives were lost, ard
but little property saved.
The crew OF these vessels, each number
ing five men (the two masters eXcluded)
sought and obtained relief from Mr.. Ira
band Rouzier, United States Consular Agent
at Jeremie, Hayti, as snipwrecked and
destitute American seamen.
The .'HslIie c. Bunker" was anchored
in the bay of Jeremie, secured by three
anchors, notwithstanding which, such was
the violence of the cyclone, she uprooted
her anchors and was dashed to pieces on
the beach. The crew acted nobly and
abandoned the schooner only when she
became hopeless wreck
| The Captain of the "Wardwell" at the
time of his disaster, was attempting To
make for port, but the vessel becoming un-
manageable was driven ashore at La Sea
IN )gne, near Jerenie.
| These mariners, ten in all, arrived at
| Port-au- Prince, on board the Haytien
steamer "Reynaud" on the afternoon of
the llth inst, and Immediately presented
| themselves at this Consulate General rt-
questing food and shelter, as destitute and
shipwrecked American seamen.
Guided by what trust may prove an in
telligent discharge Of my duty, promptly
cared for their needs.
They are supplied with a comparatively
inexpensive but wholesome diet, and suit
able shelter. and will be sent to their
homes in the course of few days.
! | trust, Sir, that my action in this mat
ter, may meet your sanction and approval.
l have the honor TO be,
| Very humbly your obedient servant,
ARTHUR BIRD.
