The Ch1Id-DIke.

Holland is a beautiful country, full of
green fields, with cattle and sheep graz
ing in the pasturesg b4t there are few
trees and no hills to be seen. The ground
is so flat and low that two or three times
the sea has rushed in over part of it and
destroyed whole towns. In one of these
floods, about two hundred years ago,
more than twenty thousand people were
drowned. In some of the towns that
were flooded not creature of any kind
was left alive.
A large part of the water that came in
at the time of that flood still remains. It
is known as 'sThe Mass," and in one part
of it there is little green Island-a part
of an old dixie or dam-which is called
the 'btl,der-dibe,' - or child-dike, and it
got it's name in this way:
The water rushed in over one of the
little Friesland villages, and no one had
any warning. Inons Of the houses there
lay child asleep In its cradle-=an old
fashioned cradle, made tight and strpng
of good stout wood.
By the side of the cradle lay the old
cat, baby's friend. probably purring away
as comfortably as possible. In came the
waters with fearful Foar. The old cat,
in her fright, jumped into the cradle with
the baby, who slept through all the tur-
moil as quietly as ever. The people were
drowned in their beds. The house was
torn from its foundations and broken in
pieces. But the little cradle f1oated out
on the angry sea in that dark night, bear
ing safely its precious burden.
When morning came there was nothing
to be seen of the villages and green mead
ows. All was water. Hundreds of peo-
pie were out i'll boats trying to save as
many lives as possible; and on this little
bit of an island that 1 have spoken OF
what do you think they found? Why
that same old cradle, with the baby asleep
in it and the old cat curled at her feet, all
safe and sound.
Where the little voyagers came from
and to whom they belonged no one could
tell. But, in memory of them. this little
island was called E'kinder-dke''-the child
dike-and it goes by that name till this
day and this story is told to thousands
of little people all over Holland as a re
markable instance of Gods providence

now Quakeress stopped borrowing.


The subject of borrowing and lending
came up in the course of a conversation
with a subscriber living near Ithaca,
when he suddenly recoIlected an anus
ing reminiscenee of that character which
had happened in his own neighborhood.
He said he had a neighbor whose family
were great borrowers, but not so distin-
guished as pay-masters-they were al
ways borrowing but seldom if ever re-
turning the exact amount borrowed. An
old Quaker lady, another neighbor, who
had endured these invasions for long
time patiently, hit upon very philosoph-
ical mode of eventually putting a stop to
the nuisance. Keeping her own counsel,
the next time her good man went to town,
he had a separate and express order to
purchase pound of the best tea, and al
so new canister TO put it in; as he knew
she already had plenty of tea, and also
canister, he was puzzled to determine
what the old lady wanted of more tea and
a new canister, but his questioning and
reasoning elected nothing more than a
/ repetition of the order.
''Jim, did l not tell thee TO get me E
4 pound of the best tea and new canister? !?
Now go along and do as bid thee
And go along he did. and when he came
at night the tea and the new canister
were his companions. The old lady took
them from him with an amused express
sion on her usually placid features, and
depositing the tea in the canister set it on
the shelf for special use. 1t had not
long to wait, for the borrowing neighbor
had frequent use for the aromatic herb.
The good lady loaned generously, empty
ing back in the canister any remittance of
borrowed teas which the neighboF's con-
science inclined her to make. Time went
on, and after something less than thC
one-hundredth time of borrowing, the
neighbor again appeared for 'sjust anoth
er drawing of tea,' when the oft-visitet
tea canister was brought ont and found +
be empty, and the good old lady anC
) obligipg neighbor was just one pound ofte
poorer than when she bought the canister
which now only remained tg tell the sto
ry. Then she made a little characteristic
) speech, perhaps the first in her life; sh,
said;
''Thou seest that empty canister.
5 filled it for thee with pound of my bes
; tea and have lent it all to thee in drib
; lets and put into it all thou has sent m
: in return; none but thyself has take
therefrom or added unto it and now tho
seest it empty thereforeI will say up
: to thee, thou hast borrowed thyself out
and can lend thee no more"

TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
contributed by Ladies of Washington Temper
ance Union.l



# has occurred to me that a few items
of sgood news from affair."" may De inter-
esting to your readers. A letter just re-
eeiyed from our dear Miss White, of Glas-
cow. Scotland, who has recently returned
from a visit to our country, and who at
tended the convention at Baltimore, re-
ports the temperance friends as actively
and earnestly at work. A hopeful fea-
ture of the work is, that many of the up
per and influential class, both ladies and
gentlemen, are giving their influence and
hearty support to the cause. Most notice
able among these are the Lord Provost
of the City of Glasgow, and his estimable
lady, Mrs. Collins. He is not content
merely to be an abstainer himself, but is
doing all in official capacity to advance
the interest of the temperance cause.
From Paisley, Scotland, comes glow
ing account of Conyersazione given by
the Ladies' Christian and Abstinence So
ciety, in the Drill Hall.
The hall was gorgeously draped with
crimson cloth, with white lace curtains
at regular intervals falling from ceiling
to floor. On the platform table were cost
ly silver dishes filled with fruits and flow
ers. One thousand of the elite Of Pals
ley, Glasgow, and other places, were
present.
Mrs. Stewart Clark, of Kilnside Hall, a
most queenly, thoroughly devoted Chris
tian lady, received the guests. Names
noticeable among those present were the
Clarks and Coates, known throughout the
world, not merely as among the great
manufacturers of the world, but for theil
unstinted liberaIity in contributing tt
the advancement of all Christian and be-
nevolent objects.
The speakers were lady Hope, the orig
inator of the coffee-houses, Miss Irisl
and the Lord Provost Collins, of Glasgow

Report of Committee on Southern
Work to the National Convention
AUBURN, N. Y, Nov. 6, 1873.
To the Chairman Of the E1ecuttUe Committee,
". N. C. T. u:
MADAM-The Chairman of the Commit
tee on Southern Work respectfully sub
mits the following report:
We commenced the year with hearts
full of zeal for labor in this part of the
Masters vineyard. Our work has been
curtailed by the great cause-lack of
means-and also by the ill-health of the
Chairman of the Committee. Even un-
der these adverse circumstances great
good has been accomplished, and your
Committee are very hopeful for the re-
suits of their labor.
One member of the Committee has de-
voted herself to the dissemination of tenn
perance literature throughout the Sotuh-
ern States. 1t has been gladly accepted,
and more wanted, the demand being
greater than could be supplied.
About two hundred copies of the fol-
lowing letter were sent to persons resid-
ing in the Southern States:
s'DEAR BRoTHER-I wish to obtain an
account of temperance matters in your
State, with reference to labor that could
be accomplished there by the Woman's
National Christian Temperance Union.
If you are unable to reply, please send
this letter to some person who will give
me full, clear, and minute account -
Responses were received. each declar-
ing readiness to receive and listen to
any person who might be sent to them.
From each came the same bitter cry of
want Of means.
There certainly is a great work that
some very active workers, but with the
utmost that can be done there remains an
immensity of work still to be accom-
plished that is appalling.
There is vast amount of illicit distill-
ing in the mountain regions, and tippling
is the prevailing vice, as well as open,
beastly drunkenness.
In Texas a Local Option Law was
passed by the last Legislature Under
that law large number of counties have
taken vote to decide whether intoxica-
ting liquors shall be sold; temperance
has largely prevailed. About one-third
of the organized counties are enforcing
prohibition.
While there is great deal of dram
drinking, there is far less drunkenness
than in most older states.
There is everywhere a healthy temper
ance sentiment among the people, and ev-
identity a fine opportunity for effective
temperance work. The field is large; the
laborers few.
Your Committee respectfully suggest
that arrangements be made during the
present session of the National Uniou fol
sending some person to labor in the
Southern States during the coming Win.
ter. May God bless all our labors.
Respectfully submitted,

REMARKABLE DISCOVERIES,

About a month ago, men digging at
random in q field near Cincinnati,
known as Pottery Field, on account
of numerous pieces of earthenware
found there, unearthed human
skeleton. The fact became known to
the Historical Society of the city, who
began a scientific research under the
surface of the field. The result thus
far gives promise of discoveries which
will be tie most important, in a sci
entilic point Of view, of any ever
made in the Mississippi Valley, and
one which seems likely to attract the
attention Of psychologists all over the
world. The field, it has been discov-
cred, is nothing more than an ancient
battle-ground, containing the remains
of hundreds Of prehistoric people,
with whom were buried their earthen
implements, ornaments, carved and
plain, pipes and other evidences that
show they had made considerable ad-
vances in art. Bones of prehistoric
animals and birds are also being un-
earthed. Out of one pit, 81 feet in
diameter and 4 feet deep, were taken
q human skeletons. The society is
taking steps to ascertain the age to
which this people belonged, and their
conclusions will be published in sci
entific journals.
