The Difference.

Who warns his slippers for papa
When he comes home at night?
Who meets MIN with a joyous laugh,
And blue eyes beam ing bright?
Who climbs upon his ready knee,
With kisses sweet as kiss can be-
Our Kitty.
Who leases poor old grandmamma,
And pulls her work away,
And with her gold-rlmmed spectacleS
Too often tries TO play?
Who's full of mischief. sport and fun,
From early morn till day Is done?-
Our Kitty.
Whose little arms "hug mamma tight?"
Whose lips give kisses sweet?
Who follows nurse about the house
With little restless feet?
Who sings to Dolly, scolds her, too,
And tries to act as "big folks" dO?-
Our Kitty.
Who, bent on mischief, truth to say,
Like any little elf,
Within the pantry hides to taste
The goodies" on the shelf?
Who bothers cook, where'er she goes,
And makes her scold, you may SUPPOSE

But lest our Kitty chance to get
More than her share of blame
For mischief, III explain there is
Some difference in the name:

A Little Advice.

One is, always look at the person you
speak to. When you are addressed, look
straight at the person who speaks to you.
Do not forget this.
Another is, speak your words plainly. Do
not mutter or humble. If words are worth
saying they are worth pronouncing distinctly
and clearly.
Another is, do not say:disagreeable things.
If you have nothing pleasant TO say, keep
silent.
A fourth is-and oil children, remember

Prayer.

1t is surely scarcely necessary to say fur
ther, what the holy teachers of all nations
have invariably concurred in showing that
faithful prayer implies always correlative
exertion; and that no man can ask honestly
or hopefully to be delivered from temptation,
unless he has himself honestly and firmly
determined to do the best he can to keep out
of it.

members that some fifteen years ago DR.. Tan
ner, then student, took rooms at the inn,
saying that he was not feeling well, and
would not eat. The strange guest was care

would hold out for week without eating
anything Tanner kept his room very close
ly and appeared to pass much of his time in
reading. When he went out it was the GUS
tom of some one connected with the inn to
enter the room to see if the eccentric fellow
was not feeding himself. Not trace of any
thing to eat was ever found about him, and
during the week he never entered the dining
room. He appeared to be genial, companion
able sort of man. and one day he went to
ride with the landlord, to whom he said that
this was the way he had of curing himself
when anything was the matter. During his
stay he was very quiet. scarcely making an
acquaintance outside of the inn. At the end
of the week he paid his bill, remarking that
he guessed be was well now, and went away
as though nothing unusual had happened.

MISPLACED CONFIDENCE.
Especial Dispatch to the Boston Herald

Especial Dispatch to the Boston Herald
WAsHINGToN, July ga rather romantic
affair, with pathetic incidents, has developed
in the Office of Col. Casey, the Commissioner
of Public Buildings, within the last few days.
The chief of the office, named Sunderland,
is scotchman, who has held the place for
twelve years, having rendered faithful service
during all of that time. 1t is said that he has
handled vouchers for over 5000, 900, and all
his accounts have been kept in the best man
ner. He was regarded by COL Casey as a
very valuable man. His salary has been
50, 200 year. He had personal friend in
the office for whom he had obtained the ap-
pointment. Five years ago he impaired in
confidence to this man the fact that he was q
deserter from the Seventh United States Cav
airy. 1t seems that he enlisted soon after his
arrival in this country, but, not liking the
hard service under Custer, he deserted and
came to Washington. He changed one of
the letters of his name, but did not hide at
any time, and succeeded in obtaining clerk
ship. He got into quarrel last week with
his friend in the Office, who revenged himself
deserter from the army. There was nothing
for the Adjutant General to do under the cir
cumstances except to direct that he be arrest
ed, and this was done to-day. He will, of
course lose bis place, and if he is not court
martialed he will, at least, be given a dishon-
orable discharge from the service, which will
prevent him from getting any employment
under the government. Sunderland married
Washington lady some years ago, and has
a family. The case is q very hard one Sun
derland's wife appeared at the department to-
day to plead his case, but it was, of course,
useless for her to do 90. Sunderland himself
says he is glad the facts are known. as the
secret has long been a burden to him, and he
is relieved from any further dread of ex-

Helena, Montana, Thursday, August 10, 1880.


At the meeting of the American Philolog-
ical Association, in Philadelphia, Professor
NJ. w. Humphreys of Vanderbilt University
Tennessee, recently read paper, "A Con-
tribution to 1nfantile Linguistics,' which
caused the learned gentlemen present to
smile on account OF the Professors able
mimicry of baby talk. The paper embodied
the results of experiments with q, little girl
two years old, questions being asked which
require the use OF certain word in giving
the answer, and list was made OF the words
the child knew. They numbered 1922 in
all, and words beginning with S, b, c, p, and
W predominated. The Professor considered
that child's vocabulary is usually formed
in respect to these considerations: First case
of pronunciation second, simplicity of the
idea, and third, familiarity. In, the first of
these it was found that when the child was
one year old the consideration was binding,
but when she was two years old it had entire
ly lost force, substitute being used for the
difficult letter, and the word used in its altered
form. The other two influences are related
the one leading directly the other, for SIM
plicity of meaning and familiarity are two
governing considerations with children.
Four periods were observed. The first when
four months old, consisted of smimicry of
conversation; when eight months old the
child knew every person in the house. She
then began to use words as representing ideas
and by eleven months the third period was
observed, that of using words given to her
as mere sound, and distinguished them
from the words used to convey a meaning.
The fourth period was the linking # words

A Definition Of Space.

The Rev. H. l.. Gear gives, in an article
entitled the Concept of Space" published
in the Cincinnati Baptist Re0Sew, the follow
ing definition of space: "Space is real,
objective, immaterial, extended, continuous,
infinite, immutable, eternal and absolute
whole of capacity to receive extended SUD- IL
stance, existing in trine extension of infinite
length, infinite breadth and infinite depth,
which is ideally visible in each dimension,
into finite wholes of locality, of all possible
forms and sizes, possessing the relations OF
similarity, difference, ratio, direction, dis,
tance, contiguity, and conjunctibility; and
comprising units of trine extension, surface
lines and points, each of which is Infinitely
divisible; trine extension into surfaces. sur
face into lines, lines into points, and points
into infnitesimal fractions of position, which
compose the infnitude of space, in num-
Der which is formed by the involution OF rel
atively infinite number to the seventh power.

A Curious Fact.

Bands of music are forbidden to play on
most of the large bridges of the world. A
constant succession of sound waves, especial
ly such as come from good band, will ex-
cite the wires to vibration. At first the vibra-
tions are very slight, but they will increase as
the sound waves continue to come. The
principal reason why bands are not allowed
to play while crossing certain bridges, the
suspension bridge at Niagara for instance, is
that if followed by professions of any kind
they will keep step with the music and this
regular step would cause the wires to yibrate.
at the suspension bridge military companies
are not allowed to march across in regular
step, but break ranks. The regular trotting
gait of large dog across suspension bridge
is more DANCE to the bridge than heavi-
ly loaded wagon drawn by team OF large
horses

ODE TO THE CUCUMBER.

Cool, crispy. verdant, luscious fruit.
Though scOurged with willing stripes,
For love thou needet not press thy suit,
Thou holdst us with gripes.
What time thou'rt in the market place,
dozen for nickel,
Forbidden fruit with tempting face,
To get us in pickle.
Or lying near the garden path,
Some simple lad, in frolic,
Purloins thee, bringing down the wrath
OF conscience and of collie.
Or sliced in vinegar in haste,
Thou makest all food sweeter,
Thus doubling up the Joys of taste,
And doubling up the eater.
Child OF the dew, from Asia's cline,
Dyepeptics may deride US,
Well not expose thee in our rhyme,
Thy wrongs are all inside US.
Well may revenge heal thy smarts-
vengeance gastrOnOmic;
Thine, unlike crimes that weigh the heart,
Lies heavy on the stomach
Thy slain are scattered oer the earth,
Puissant, kukluX cumber;
Thy form, with praise of vanished worth,
Should mark their place of slumber.
And shall we rear this fruit again,
And of it be partaker?
We taste, and answer in our pain,
Eyes, we've put in an acher."
