ReIi

An English writer says that American
children are more self acting than they
are in England, where they have a some-
what unwise domestic paternOlism,
which encourages a costly dependence.
The result is, that many parents have
to keep their children ut n period of life
when children should be prepared to
keep their parents if need be. The
American habit of training their child
rem to independence, which they in
terpret as meaning self dependence, has
much to DO said in It's favor,

Slumber Song.

In the winged cradle Of sleep | lay
Ny darling gently down
Kissed ami closed are his eyes Of gray,
Under his curls' bright croWn.
Where, oh, where, will he ay and float,
In the winged cradle Of sleepY
Whom will he meet in the worlds remote,
While he slumben= soft and deep?
Warm and sweet as a white blush-rose,
His small hand lies in mine,
But / cannot follow him where he goes,
And he gives no word nor sign.
Keep him safe, We heavenly powers,
In dream-land, vast and dim
.et no i'll, through the nights long hours,
Come nigh TO trouble him.
Give him back, when the dawn shall breal
With his matchless baby charms,
With his love and his beauty all awake,
Into my happy arms!

The Germantown Telegraph gives the
following sensible hints on the sharpen
ing Of tools: "Too often these things
are not thought Of until the articles
are wanted, when much valuable time
is lost in putting in order what might
as well have been done during the dull
winter days, 1t has been computed
that the same man can do as much in
two days with a sharp scythe as in three
days with n comparatively dull, and
with the same expenditure in force.
And it is just the same in regard to all
other tools or implements, whether
operated by hand, steam or horse
power. The engineer continually oils
the machinery, and a good saw OF file
is oil to hand Implements. We know
n who has a great deal of hand hoeing
to do by hired labor, and he believes
that the continued use of the file on the
hoes makes a difference of nearly one
half in the labor. His calculation is
that every ten-cent file he buys saves
him $40 in his laborers' bills. Now is the
time to look after the spades, scythes,
hoes, chisels, saws, etc. Agood grind
stone and a set of files are among the
best Of farm Investments, especially at
this season. The best of all forehand-
edness is that which prepares in adj
a full set of good and we'll

Friendship In Lciiere.

It has been said that letters care in vain
for purposes of intimacy" and though per
haps they may be for building up Il friend
ship. vet some friendships cannot survive
without their help. How many things
there are that we dare not trust ourselves 70
say in the actual presence Of our friend:
our faces and our tones are expressive, and
we cannot choose our exact opportunity, nor
frame our. sentences on the spur OF the. mo-
ment. Many times We say 20 ourselves, i
will tell him this, or will ask him TO tell
me that" and then when the time comes it
is impossible to catch the moment. \ foot
step. the rustic Of leaf, and timidity seizes
us. We frame the sentence, we look up at
our friends face and see something that Is
barrier-possibly only shyncss possibly
4 passing fear of how much must follow, II
the question is put and answered. Anyhow,
it Isl barrier, and we end the sentence in the
opposite direction to which it was begun.
Vet che words unut.ered, and the friendship
ends 'as so many do in the mere exchange OF
every day opinions, favored 10 suit the fam
cied requirements of the person We are tall
ing to. But in letters il is different. ThCre
the question can be asked or the sentence
framed. and yet that subtle influence we oil
possess over each other not produce the
wrong effect or cause the thought il self to
cease tO'be for the time Your friend la
time to hear you to the end. The words
remain with him with just that sense OF un-
certainty as to why you uttered them when
is so often the saving clause when what Is
said might awake anger or annoyance. No
doubt YOU run the risk of the letter reaching
yourIfriend when he Is full Of other thoughts,
but so he may be when in your company,
and This is rot forced upon you suddeniv, az
il might easily be- when YOU had said half
of what Won meant to say. After all, risks
must be run. and it is often better for the
friendship in the end that sone side should
be able sometimes 10 frame his speech Un
trammelcd by his friends presence, than
that both sides should hesitate and fail at
critical moment through thcunduc influence
of what, after all, may not be more than
passing emotions rejecting themselys upon
an expressive c0untcnance. II is c,cn true
that some natures ear oaly be really init
mate in letters. Natures that are reserved
more from habit and instinct than from
reason. and who are uuduly sensitive 20 tone
or look. will often find personal intercourse
less helpful 10 freedom of intimacy than the
comparative solitude th8t surrcurds inter
course through letters. IS Emerson. says,
1--WE sit and muse, and are serene and COM
plcte, but the moment we meet with any
body each becomes a fraction" Perfect
confidence may exclude all need for letters,
and the closer the friendship becomes the
more difficult in some ways it is - be init
mate in letters; bat so long as intimacy j.
complicated by shyn~s and reserve, 80 long
viii some natures fld the uniting element
only in letters.
