READY 10 HELP

Parents are too often slow to see
the motives Of their chidren's kindest
actions. A little fellow has been read.
ing of some young hero who helped
his father and mother in all sorts of
ways and after racking his brain TO
think how ho too can help, ho remem.
bers that he can fetch his fathers
slippers, and take his boots away and
put them in the proper place. Without
saying word to anybody, when even.
ing comes he does it but the father is
so occupied that he notices not what
tho boy has done. Tho little fellow
hopes on, thinking that when be goes
to bed, his father will say how pleased
he was to see Charley so willing to
help but not word is uttered and
the boy goes to bed with a choking
feeling in his throat, and says his
prayers by the bedside, with sadness
very real in his heart. Parents often
complain of children not being 80
ready TO help as they should be the
laultiswith the parents, who have not
known how TO evoke feelings with
which the heart of every child is richly
stored. All words of approval are
helpful and encouraging In large
family there have been days OF anxiety
and care. The Oldest daughter by her
skill in teaching has earned little ex.
ira monav and Wifhout n word IN anty

buying things that are much needed in
the house. What joy fills her heart
when fond mother takes her aside,
and with emotion that cannot be con.
cealed says how thankful she is for
such oonsideratc kindness, and mur.
murs; "I don't know what we should
do withoutyou, darling" My friends,
do not be so chary Of these words of
encouragement.

did so and followed me, The soldiers

been dismounted by the lightning

death. 1t was just at this time that
we charged them and we easily knock.

killed them with our coup sticks. In
this way we killed all this division
with the exception of q few who tried
to get away, but were killed by the
Sioux before they could get very far.
All through the battle, the soldiers
fired very wild and only killed twenty

Sioux were following them and in q

pistols in the head. The body which

Americans killed. We counted them

WHISTLING on SUNDAY.

As they journeyed on, the sad pass.
enger read the morningpapers to them,
and there was one news paragraph of
dreadful import. II seems that a stu
dent at Washington college, down at
"little Washington" had been arrested
and fined $3.50. The crime which this
young outlaw committed was that Of
whistling. Not only did he whistle,
but he whistled on the Sabbath day.
And what was worse, he whistled o
marching tune. A marching tune on
Sabbath eve. And some other students
who were with him kept step to it..

THE WHITE HOUSE STABLES

President Garfield loves a fine horse.
He is also an excellent rider, knowing
how to sit firmly and gracefully in the
saddle, and to keep his horse under
control. His life as General in the
army would have accustomed him to
horseback riding, even had he not
come from country where that ac-
complishment is a common one. He
has not as yet made any changes in
in the Presidential stables except to
add saddle horse. The four horses
which were used by Mr.. Hayes were
left by him. They will, however, be
sent to Fremont during next Fall. In
the language of the Presidential coach
man, ,"They are worn out, Mr.. Hayes" !"
he continued, "never cared much for
horses-not near as much as Mrs. H.
did. SO long as the carriage was
ready when called for, be did not
trouble himself Grant, on the con.
trary, was passionately fond of q good
horse, and was not afraid to spend
money for one. He took them away
or gave them away when he left. In
Washington" continued the coachman,
"a man who pays 5000 or s7OO for o
pair Of ooach.horses thinks he is giving
big price. But that is no money for
a pair of horses when they are good"
1t follows, without saying, that the
horses in the Presidential stables are
not remarkable for their speed, nor,
indeed, do they possess any qualilica.
tions beyond those Of the ordinary an
imal. The President is quietly look.
ing for a span of horses--a pair that
will do credit to their position, He
has had several offers already, but
none OF them suited him. He is in no
particular hurry, and will probably
wait until Fall before turning his at
tention to procuring three or four fine
horses, and when these are secured
Mr.. Hayes stock will be returned to
him with thanks. Neither the Presi-
dent nor his boys care much for car
riage driving, and leave that to Mrs.
Garfield and the ladies.
Mrs. Garfield uses the carriage a
good deal, and generally goes shopping
in the two.horse closed carriage which
Mr., Hayes used, There are other
carriages in the Presidential stables,
including single-seated and double.
seated buggies, but these are compar-
atively little used The President
goes out riding every evening after
office hours, unless the weather inter.
ieres-generally without company.
lie travels leisurely, and does not care
to put his horse to its utmost speed.
His Private Secretary, Brown, does
not go horseback riding, although he
has four Government horses in the
stable for his own use. His carriages
are also kept here, A Durham COW
has a large, roomy stall in the stable,
and supplies the White House with
milk, for the Presidential family don't
care for watered milk,

WANT OF STEEP.

Are you afflicted with insomnia
Perhaps you have too much time for
sleep. Perhaps you depend too much
on sleep for rest and reouperation for
sleep is not the sole rest of used.up
nerves Sociability, congenially and
the enjoyment OF good company rest
the body quite as much as sleep. The
dreary monotony of lite in many q
household involving this tumbling into
bed with the mechanical regularity Of
a machine at . or 10 o'clock in the oven.
ing does not always rest weary bodies.
"Early to bed and early to rise" does
not always make man healthy,
wealthy or wise. Numbers of organi.
cations are only capable of five or six
hours of sleep at time, and their early
lying down TO rest is often succeeded
by an early waking up and a conse.
quent restless tossing for hours pre-
ceding daybreak. These practicors Of
punotuality are often surprised after
breaking their own cast-iron rules, and
passing two or three later hours Of
mirth and jollity past their usual bed
time, to find themselves even more re-
ireshed in the morning than usual.
The relaxation of sociability has rested
them more than would sleep or at
tempt to sleep. But these are condi.
tions not so easily realized in tho aver
age family. In fashionable life we have
a formal, exhausting and mechanical
evening Of more or less dissipation. On
the other hand, the evenings of great
numbers of families are generally of
monotonous hum.drum. They involve
an assemblage of the same people, the
same surroundings, the same pdter
tdmilidS yawning over his paper, and
the same querulous mamma overladen
with family cares, Fresh people with
fresh thought, fresh atmosphere, any
thing to stir up and agitato the pool
of domestic stagnation, are sadly need.
ed and scarce, There needs to be also
constant succession Of such people to
bring about these results The world
is full of men and women, and in bet.
ter regulated life il would be their bust
ness alter the days work was done to
entertain each other and give each other
fresh life. As it is now, hundreds, if
not thousands, of households are little
better than cells for the incarceration
Of each family Thousands are thus
worn out prcmaturely from utter lack
of domestic recreation. There might

WHAT THEY KNEW FOUR
THOUSAND YEARS AGO.

From one of these books, compiled
after the manner of our modern CYCLIC
pedias, and the compilation ct which is
shown to have been made more than
1000 b. c., it has been ascertained,
what has long been supposed, that
Chaldoa was the parent land of astron-
omy; for it is found, from the compi.
lation and from other bricks, that the
Babylonians catalogued the stars, and
distinguished and named the constella-
tions that they arranged the twelve
consultations that form our present
zodiac to show the course of the suns
path in the heavens divided time into
weeks, months and years; that they
divided the week, as we now have it,
into seven days, six being days Of labor
and the seventh day of rest to which
they gave name from which we have
derived our word"Sabbath," and which
day, as a day Of rest from all labor of
every kind, they observed as vigorously
as the jew or the Puritan. The mo.
ton Of tho heavenly bodies and the
phenomena Of the weather were noted
down, and a connection, as | have be.
fore stated, detected, as NJ. de Pervillc
claims to have discovered, between the
weather and the changes of the moon
they inverted the sun.dial TO mark the
movements of the heavenly bodies, the
water.clock TO measure time, and they
speak in this work of the spots on the
sun, a fact that could only have been
known by the aid of telescopes which
it is supposed they possessed, from OBJ.
servations that they have noted down
Of the rising Of Venus, and the fact
that Layard found a crystal lens in the
ruins Of Nineveh. The "bricks" con.
tain an account of the Deluge, substan.
TALLY the same as the narrative in the
Bible, except that the names are differ
ent They disclose that houses and
land were then sold, leased and mort
gagged, that money was loaned at in
tercst, and that the market gardeners,
to use an American phrase, "worked on
shares = that the farmer, when plow-
ing with his oxen, bogniled his labor
with short and homely songs, two of
which have been found and TO con
meet this very remote civilization with
the usages OF to-day, may, in conelu.
sion, refer to one of the bricks in this
library, in the form Of notice, which
is to tho effect that visitors are re-
quested TO give the Liberation tho num- J
