terry that of making watch and clock
faces, and when he died, she and her sis
tiers assumed the manufacture, and re-
tanned their fathers old customers. Real
estate agents, lawyers, bankers, authors,
editors and divines frequently find in the
women OF their own families such aid as
nothing save affection knows how to give.
In such families the reciprocal ties are apt
to be very strong.
do not mention the following as an
example to be initiated, but only to prove
what can be done, under the influence OF
affection. 1t is one of those cases where
a too-tensely strung bow must some time
break. A lady whose husband is in ill
health has four little children. She per-
forms all the household labor for a tam
lily OF six persous. In addition, whenever
she fears exposure to the weather for her
husband, she assumes his work in the
field or stable, feeding the stock and
doing with her own hands anything else
needed on the farm. She endures, with
out complaint, toe cold and ram from
which she protects the invalid. She IS
not OF foreign birth, but has constitu.
ton ripened ON American soil, and is de-
scended from one of the oldest and best
Quaker families Of Pennsylvania. One
OF her brothers is learned professor, and
she has sufficient ability to do anything
she chooses. She elects to save her hus-
band, aud that is the way she does it.
1t is true she is possessed of remarkable
fine constitution, but it is strength of will,
and conjugal fidelity, which enable her
to overcome what would seem to be IN
surmountable difficulties.
The resources Of women in unusual a.
xocatlons are almost unknown, as are, no
doubt, those of men in occupations usual
~ considered feminine. Both men and
women might be essentially aided by an
interchange whether of work Or of amusc-
ment.-THe american.

Vacation.

There are people who do not take va
cation they conscientiously cannot; there
are those who don't take one because
they wont; there arc those who only in
tensify the inconsequence of their exis-
tence by travel. About the only thing
to be said Is, that every one ought to
have sense enough to know how, and
when, and where to take his or her vaca-
ton, and to avoid the idea that the recre-
alton of another is a guarantee that the
same place and things will give pleasure
to the imitator. Means, tastes, habits, sex,
time of life are all factors, and where

Child-Life on the Amazon.

Child-life here is an exceedingly curl
Gus study; the little quiet creatures are
SO different from our romping American
boys and girls. They get few caresses
and give none; mother love is mechani-
cal; there is nothing Of that flow of ten
derness, that constant. watchful care that
sheds such halo around our homes. The
babies vegetate in their steady brown
fashion, seldom crying or laughing, but
lying all day in their hammock cradles
and watching everything around them
with keen eyes. AS soon as the little
boys and girls can toddle about, they are
left pretty much to their own resources,
tunlbling up the back stairs of life on
diet of mandioca meal and fish. The
parents seldom punish their children, for
they are very docile; when they do, the
little ones pucker up their mouths and
look sullen, but do not cry. Pleasure is
expressed by a smile,- among the little
girls very often by broad grin, with
abundant show of teeth but an articu-
late laugh is rarity.
It is interesting to watch how the men
tai traits of the race appear even in. the
babies. fla plaything is given them,
they examine it gravely for little while,
and then let it drop. Observe how differ
cnt this is from white babies, actions
A bright little x-months-old at home has
four distinct methods of investigation:
first, by looking; second, by touching
then by putting the object in its mouth
and finally by banging it against the floor
The brown MEMO just looks, he does not
investigate at all. AS the children grow
older, the same trait is apparent in almost
every case. An Indian is content to see
or hear thing, without troubling himself
about the why's and whe efores; even such
incomprehensible pursuit as fossil-collect-
ing, or butterffycatching, or sketching,
provoke hardly any curiosity. The peo-
pie look on quietly, sometimes asking.a
question or two, but soon dismlssing the
subject from their minds as something
they are capable Of understanding With
all the crowding to see the lady
OF our party, hardly person
asked why she came. So, too, the
babies are unambitious: they do not cry
after pretty cOlors, or stretch out their
hands to a candle. And the men have
no apparent desire to better their lot.
They go on just as their forefathers did;
submit to the impositions of the whites,
a little sullenly, but without a thought
of rebellion, else there is white OF
half breed to lead them. The children
do not care much for playthings; we rare
ly see one with rag doll; the little boys
deligst In bows and arrows, but they take
them as part of their training. Some
times the people have dances, an imita-
ton of the fiesta sports; and "ehear them
humming the waltzes and quadrilles
which their quick ears have caught from
the musicians. As an Indian ~ill paddle
steadily all day, while his wife at home
hardly ceases her monotonous cotton-beat-
ing, so the little ones have an inexhausti-
bic gift of patience. While a white
child would fret and cry, the brown one
sits all day perfectly still, but Watching
every thing around him. To see little
indian boy in canoe, you would say
nothing of him was alive but his eyes.

THE CHANGE.

Out Of the long white dresses ...
And into tho dainty frocks;
Little blue shoes with buttons,
In place of the worsted socks;
No longer helpless baby,
Carried in arms all day,
But Il restless, mischievous fellow,
Brmming with frolic and play;
Getting himself into troubles
That seemingly have no end;
Tearing ibid holes" in his dresses,
For patient mamma to mend
Dumping his cnrly round nOddle,
Which mammals soft kisses must cure;
And meeting thousand misfortuncs,
Which babies must learn to endure
To'soon shall lose my 6d6y
And do the best that can
To welcome the magic power
Which changes the boy to man.
Oh! would that the years were slower
In rolling the months away;
And would that for many season
My baby Il rhia might stay!
| wonder now is he dearer,
As only II babe on my breast!
Or changed to this roguish fellow
Whose feet is never at rest:
Is Il rosebud any the sweeter
Before it is full-blown rose?
All! the love that is born with the baby
Must grow as the baby grows!

this purpose she had bought ticket by
the Inman Line, and walking down
Broadway the day before the boat
sailed, when, on meeting a
friend, he suggested that she change her
ticket for one by the Hamburg Line,
which would land her directly in France,
and thus save the traversing Of England
by rail and the crossing of the Channel.
She consented, the friend made the
change, and she sailed on Hamburg
boat, the lnman steamer on which she
was to have taken passage leaving at the
same time. The two boats kept in sight
ar the way down the bay, but parted at
night. When the marchioness landed in
Europe she heard that the other steamer
was still out, and no tidings have ever
come OF her to this day. It was the City
of Boston.
During the voyag. the man servant of
the marchioness came to her one day With
gold nugget, saying that passenger in
the second cabin had sent it to her. She
sent the ore back. The servant soon re-
turned, and said that the passenger in
sisted upon her receiving it. So the
marchioness, thinking the would-be donor
was poor, returned the nugget with A
hundred francs. Again the servant came
back with the message that the man
would not receive the money, and wished
to give her the gold. But the marchion-
ess, somewhat vexed at the mans peril
nacity. ordered the servant to return the
nugget and bother her no more. A week
or SO atterward, when at home in Paris,
the servant one day produced the nugget,
saying that the man would no: receive it,
and threatened to throw 1t into the sea if
it was not placed in her hands. "Here is
the identical piece of ore,'' said the mar
chioness, returning from an adjoining
room with rich lump of the precious
metal.

CONSOLATION.

Suggested by picture Of the same name, by
Mr. B. F. Reinhard.)
For the Home journal.
A stricken mother, mum at heart and brain,
Lies bowed above little empty bed,
Spent with the stress and durance of her pain
Ller sarrow for the child-love who is dead.
If she could only hear again those feet
That blithely patteret up and down the
stair;
If she might kisr the cherub mouth so sweet
And stroke once more the curls of silken
hair;
1f-but this wishing is so vain, so valid,
That now her anguishod heart cries out to
"Leave me not here in grief all unalloyed
Let me, too, sleep beneath my darling sod!"
But sudden DER her jaded sense is borne
soft celestial strain, while in her ears
The sacred wOrds-"Blessed are they that
mourn,
For well they shall be comforted" she hears.
A flood Of radiant glory fills the room
Music and light in mellow minglement;
Some gracious influence banshed the gloom
And breathes an essence Of deyine content:
And 10! concourse of the heavenly host
HOvers above her in the ambient air,
Of HON the fairest bears, the babe she lost
In loving arms, withe fondly fostering care.
The little child with calm seraphic eyes
Pillows her head upon the angels breast,
While in her pure confiding trust she lies
In the safe heaven of Gods hottest rest.
The tender faces of the heavenly throng
Shed comfort on the desolate mothers pain !:
The low, speet cadence of their perfect song
Consoles here with its glad, yet soothing
strain.
Believe that in Gilead there is balm,
A surely benign Physician there,
Oven her spirit gently steals the calm
Born of resigned and benedictional prayer.

OUR DELEGATES.

The Wheeling Register paid our delegate,
Mr. j. S. Melvin, high compliment when
it gave report of his speech in opposition
to the increased school>tax more extended
than its report Of any other on the question.
Mr.. Melvin certainly represented his con-
stituents most faithfully upon that important
measure, and deserves their thanks and graf
itude. We think, however, that Mr.. Mel
vim made mistake, when, in opposition to
his colleague, he voted TO change the present
organization of the Court of Appeals. Mr.,
Melvin will best represent his constituents by
opposing this at every turn, and in every To-
climate method. The people of this county
desire no. only four judges on the Supreme
bench, but the very four whom they have
aided in elevating to that high position.

WEST VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE.

The Judiciary Committee of the West
Virginia Senate on Tuesday afternoon, after
hearing Mr. William Keyser, second vice.
president of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
in defense and explanation. of the company IS
method of conducting its business and its
relation to the interests of the State, decided
to report Senator Turner's bill, which simply
applies the Wheeling rate to all points
between Wheeling and Baltimore, as SUBJ
stitute for the johnson bill, which makes
the through Chicago rate the standard for
all others, proportionate to distance, and
otherwise limits and impedes the company's
business. The Judiciary committee made a
report on Wednesday, rejecting the johnson
bill and substituting the amendment offered
by Senator Turner. A vote was taken upon
the amendment offered by Senator johnson
to the original bill, which, says the W heeling
Register, was adopted, " leaving the matter
in middle that will take more of parlia-
mentarian than we profess to be, to explain
the situation. But perhaps the Senate sun
derstands herself"
In the Senate, on the 10th, Mr. Butler
attempted to have the convict labor bill
amended SO as to provide that convicts should
not be employed ON any labor in the counties
Of Berkeley, Jefferson and Morgan. The
motion was lost.
The Senate spent the most of the day,
Thursday, considering the proposed railroad
legislation before it, and again referred the
pending measures to the Judiciary Commit
tee of that body, for further investigation.
The Senate, on Friday, rejected Senator
Turner's substitute, aud ordered Johnson's
bill TO a third reading
