A Good Little Boy Story.

Troy Times.
A little boy wanted drum. His
mother, wishing to give him an inn
preSslve lesson, suggested that if he
should pray for it he might receive
one. So at night, when ready for bed,
he knelt down and prayed:
"Now lay me down to sleep,
] want a drum.)
1 pray the Lord my soul to keep,
| want drum.)
II / should die before wake,
Il want drum.)
lpray the Lord my soul to take.
Il want a drum,) .
His father, who had been let-into
the secret, had meanwhile quietly
placed drum on the bed. AS the
youngster rose and his eyes tell on the
drum he exclaimed in an emphatic
manner that banished all serious
thoughts from the minds of his listen
ers: "Where the devil did that drum
come from2"

and heat is in the velocity of the mo-
ton, The invisible ether-motion con-
stitutes radiant heat; and when it be-
comes sufficiently rapid it (the motion)
becomes visible as light. Just what it
IS that becomes visible is not so easily
seen as said. 1t is certainly not the
motion but in the effect of the motion
that is seen. Hence we conclude that

ment of sight seeing amid the convex
surface of the Pacific ocean with face
from the monday sun in the cloudless
heavens and the eyes upturned from
the receding surface of waters beneath
US, at an angle of sixty degrees from
the sensible horizon, could we see aught?
"
Could we actually and philosophically
discern the face of the sky ?" Can
we really tell its form, survey its d.
mansions, or trace its contour? In
short, thus Fashioned do we see any
thing2 Does the light gently diffused

system present itself as avisible object,
a material object to our gaze and paint
itself in its composite or primary colors
on the retina of our eyes as a thing
seen ? Answer this and then tell us if
you can whether light itself is visible
or not? Does it not, like perfect
mirror, hide itself, while it shows us
ourselves and surroundings?
Passing from this the only contro-
verted point in our cursory glance at
invisible things, let us inquire what
would we do or be without vitality and
identity? Neither of which
have we ever seen or can see. Philos-
ophers tell us that we are greatly in
the dark mentally. Divines tell us
that we are desperately depraved as to
our moral vision, and tell US to strive
for the day when we can read our "ti-
ties clear to mansions in the skies
These taken in connection with what
we have here mentioned in this hasty
glance at the invisible, make us to ex-
claim how wofully blinded are we to
those things that are most near and
dear to US. Surely we "have eyes,

ces the introduction in the senate of
Alabama, of bill to incorporate the

This, of itself, might not be considered
matter of much Importance, but
when we state that the company is be-
ing incorporated to work a tin mine
near Ashland, in Clay county, aud
further, that there has never been a

Where to Economic.

A mother was particularly successful
in keeping her children at home of eve.
nings, so much so that it was with
difficulty they could be induced to &C.
cept an invitation to spend an evening
away from home, was asked if she had
any particular secret for doing so. She
replied that she could think of none ex.
cept that she kept her sitting room and
parlOr very light. 1--WE always have
all the light we want: we put the gas
on full blaze, in both back and front
parlos; then we keep the house com.
fortably warm all over, and this is the
secret, if it is a secret" To this it was
objected that it would be very expen.
sive. She replied. "Oh, we'll, we
will economic in something elpe, if nee
essary, but cheerful light in the eve.
ming we will have"
Her remark was very suggestive,
not only of the great difference in the
cheerfulnesS of well lighted house and
the gloom of one where the light is
poor and stinted, but of the choice
Al
there is in matters Of economy. In
these times every one has TO study
economy in some directions, but in
family life it ought to be directed to
anything rather than the curtailing Of
family comforts or OF the quantity or
quality of children's food. Better
wear the plainest clothes, better have
no extra suit, better put up with old
and patched furniture than to deprive
any one of real comfort, especially
the children. Warmth and light are
the attractions used by saloons and
other places to draw our children from
us. We must counterfeit those by pro-
viding better of the same kind. We
cannot afford to economic too much
in these.
So in regard to ohildren's food and
clothes. There are two articles of food
of which children are very fond, and
which are nutritious and wholesome,
which are often economical in unwisely.
These are milk and sugar, Better to
do without deserts all the time and let
the children have their milk to drink
and plenty of sugar on their oatmeal
or stewd apples. Better dimes worth
ofgood pure candy occasionally than the
costly and too often indigestible mince
pie. In clothing also the same discrim-
nation should be observed. Plenty of
good warm undertaking, good and
stout stockings, we'll fitting shoes, will
make presentsble the plainest dress.
If economy must be studied in child
ren's dress, let it be in trimmings and
rufies, and not in those things which
give warmth and comfort. To
practice economy successfully requires
