In reviewing the case of the President since

Curing a SOmnambulist.

In small village across the bay re-
sides well-known clergyman and his
family, which is composed of numerous
sons and daughters, his wife and him
self. One of the sons, who is Just ap-
preaching manhood, has been in the
habit since infancy of walking in his
sleep. Every effort has been made to
breakhim of his somnambulistic tenden-
cies, but without avail. He would arise
from his couch at all hours of the nipht.
wander from one part of the building to
another, wend his way to the porches
and piazzas, and was sometimes found
perched upon the roof of the house. A
short time ago it was decided by the
head of the house that the somnambulist
SHOULD occupy the same couch with his
elder brother, and the latter was in
structed, in case the boy indulged in
any OF his former antics, to administer
a severe punishment in the shape of a
forcible application of the sole of a
slipper upon his body. The elder son
gratefully accepted the task and prom
ilsed TO carry out his instructions to the
letter, In order to show that, he was
not neglectful of the duty imposed upon
him it is only necessary to relate the
following incidents: One night a short
time ago, when both OF the brothers
were wrapped in the deep slumbers of
early morn their paterfamilias imagined
that he heard sounds of disturbance in
the chicken-yard at the rear of the
house, and. fearing that his hen-roost
might be despoiled, entered the room
where the boys were sleeping, and.
opening the window, peered out into
the darkness to ascertain whether his
approximations were correct. The elder
son, who was sleeping on the outside of
the bed, thought, the figure at the
window was that of his brother, and,
forgetting, in his zeal, to ascertain il
his bed-tellow was quietly reposing or
not, leaped from his couch, seized the
eVer-ready slipper, and administered a
severe castlgation upon the party in
undress at the window. Before the
astonished father couldturn he had re-
ceived some four or five heavy and
Singing blows, and was so surprised
and astonished that for few moments
he could hardly speak word. The
son, when he realized the situation was
almost paralyzed, and the scene was
ridiculous " the extreme. When the
clrcumstanDeswere explained. however
the clergyman fully appreciated the
Joke, and narrates it with great ou Sato
to his friends and acquaintances. -

Lowell Mill-Girls a Generation Ago,

The home life of the mill-girls as I
knew it in my mothers family was
nearly like this: Work began at five
O'Clock on summer mornings, and at
daylight in the winter. Breakfast was
eaten by lamplight, during the cold
weather; in summer, an interval of half
an hour was allowed for it, between
seven and eight o'clock. The time
given for the noon meal was from a
half to three-quarters of an hour. The
only hours of leisure were from half
past seven or eight to ten in the even
ing, the mills closing a little earlier on
Saturdays. 1t was an imperative regu-
lation that lights should be out at ten.
During those two evening hours, when
1t was too cold for the girls to sit in
their own rooms, the dining-room was
used as a sitting-room. where they
gathered around the tables, and sewed,
and read, and wrote, and studied. 1t
seems wonder, to look back upon it,
how they accomplished so much as thew
did, in their limited allowance Of time
They made and mended their own
clothing, often doing agood deal of un-
necessary fancy-work besides. They
subscribed for periodicals; took books
from the libraries; went to sinoing
schools, conference meetings, concerts
and lectures; watched at night BY a sick
girls bedside, and did double work for
her in the mill, if necessary; and ON
Sundays they were at church, NOT diff
fering in appearance from other we'll
dressed and decorous young women.
Strangers who had been sitting beside
them in a house of worship were often
heard to ask, on coming out. q But

pearean quotation on Marcus Wards
business calendar of the date he was
nominated for President. He said he
had received at least fifty Of them from
different persons, all of whom called his
attention to the popularity of the quo
tation. Ii was from Julius Caesar: 20
that a man might know the end of this
days business ere it comes In view of
all the circumstances this was remark
able incident. and it had considerable
effect on the President. While he did
not believe in special acts of Providence,
he liked to talk of such things and rea-
son out conclusions. The incident fol-
lowing his nomination was in the same
line. l published it during the cam
palgn alter securing the Presidents per-
mission, though L then stated it was
- on information furnished by General
g Swain. 1t was furnished by Swain
hrst and by the President afterward.
While on his way to the building in
which the Convention was held, man
handed him on the street u circular or
~ dodger of ONE kind. He saws he first
supposed 1t was railroad advertise
ment. He was about throwing it away
when he noticed that it had extracts
from the Scriptures on it. Not having
time to read it then, he crushed it up
and put it into his pocket. On the close
OF that day he was nominated, and be-
lore he lett the Convention he had re-
oeived hundreds of kilograms extending
congratulations. Going to his room, he
emptied his pockets on q table telling
Swain to save those that should be
saved and destroy those that should be
destroyed. General Swain was doing
this when he saw the crumpled paper.
Opening it he read it, and was so struck
with the quotations that he saved it I'M
til General Garfield returned, when he
read it. Garfield told me it made the
halr OF his head almost stand on end
There were two quotations. The first
was this: The stone which the build
ers rejected, the same is become the
head of the corner The other was:
Neither is there salvation in any other:
FOR there is none other name under
heaven, given among men, whereby we
must be saved The connection. of the
two quotations lay in the fact that Car
held had never been spoken of as can
didate before the Convention, and that
he was about the only man who could
bring the factions of the party Us exist
ed then together and march through to
victory. He combined the party as
hardly another man could. The 10th
was an important date in his lite. II
was the day of his birth, of his greatest
triumphs, and finally it was the date Of
his death"

A Type Of the Tramp.

A dirty, shabby, worn-out old man

tone was gentle. the expression of his

he had been failure, and why at last
he was wandering about as common

boy with plenty OF friends and plenty OF
money, boy who disregarded the
wishes of father and the prayers of a
mother, a Young man who knew more

the battles of life, young man who
laughed at the counsels and advice OF
those he pleased to term old fogies, A
youth who wanted to enjoy life and in
