Raising Children.
SPECIAL ADVICE TO PARENTS AND OTHERS

SPECIAL ADVICE TO PARENTS AND OTHERS.
 Children should be set out in the nursery at as early period in married life as is consistent with good taste.
 When very young they should be kept quiet, not too much exposed to the light. It is usual to engage some old and experienced expert to attend to this, and the direction in whichs the ''twig is inclined" at this stage is gen. erally the ruin of the parents peace of mind for two years.
 Milk is said to be good for babes, but there are so many ''patent foods" now sold at the drug stores that milk may as we'll be done away with. Give the child SO ething that you don't know any thing about and it will thrive-possibly.
 Don't cross the child when it is small. |. will take so kindly to having it's own way that it is really cruel to insist on parental rights in the matter.
 Learn the little coots to "crow" as early as possible. Take them in your hands and toss them up as high as you can and jounce their digestive organs all cut of piece. This is genuine ''raise" of children.
 As soon as possible put the green baby into baby carriage and push il along the sidewalk, running into every body with it and gathering admir1np crowds at the crossings to worship it. This will give the little one some ides of the way of getting on in the world il later years.
 It is good plan to hurry up chile in the matter of walking. The sooner child walks, the more bow-legged an' irrepressible he will be when he grows | up.
 Just the moment the child lets go it. mothers apron strings plant it in tht neighbours front yard. This will sav' your own lawn, while the little fellow digs up the turf and carries away thu lawn of the neighbor in his little ret wheelbarrow.
 Train the child to ''appear" in com | nothing like it. Visitors so much ad mire to have children climb and craw all over them in their gentle, prankisl way.
 A good share of dirt makes a chil grow. Soap and water is useful, how ever, once week, to enable parents t recognize their own children when the call them in to dinner.
 Let them have their own sweet wa always. They will retaliate in the futur by not letting you have yours bu what matters that :?
 Never allow the neighb ors' childre on your premises. The hateful thing will influence your own children fc bad. Allowing your children to pla with the neighbours children on the premises, however, has salutary effe, on those benighted little hands, and IS your Christian duty to see that yor children mingle in this manner as muc ' as possible.

WHAT MY LOVER SAID.
BY HORACE GREELEY, IN 1842.

By the merest chance, in the twilight gloom,
 In the orchard path he met me- In the tail, wet grass, with it's faint perfume And tried to pass and he made no room;
 Oh. tired, but he would not let me. So stood and blushed till the grass grew red,
 With my face bent down above it, While he took my hand, as he whisp ring said (How the clover lifted each pink, sweet head To listen to all that my lover said
 Oh !! the clover in bloon-I love it ) In the high, wet grass went the path to hide
 And the low, wet leaves hung over; But could not pass upon either side, For found myself, when [ vainly tried,
 In the arms of Thy steadfast lover, And he held me there, and he raised my head
 While he closed the path before me; And he looked down into my eyes and said (How the leaves bent down from the boughs OCT head
 To listen to all that my lover said Oh the leaves hanging lowly OCT me ) Had he moved aside little way could surely then have passed him; And would not have heard what he had to say Could [ only aside have cast him. | it was almost dark, and the moments sped, And the searching night-wind found us; ! But he drew me nearer and softly said | (How the pure, sweet wind grew still instead, To listen to all that ny lover said Oh! the whispering wind around us ) | [ am sure he knew, when he held me fast, | That must be all unwilling;
 For tried to go, and would have passed, As the night was coming with it's dew at last | And the sky with stars was filling;
 But he claspe d me close when would have fled And he made me hear his story,
 And his soul came out from his lips al said l (How the stars crept out where the white moor led,
 l To listen to all that my lover said
 Oh the moon and stars in glory ) I know that the grass and the leaves will no l tell,
 And m sure the wind precious rover
 Will carry his secret so safely aud well,
 And that no being will ever discover One word of the may that rapidly fell
 From the eager lips of my lover,
 5h all never reveal what fairy-like spell
 They wove round about us that night in tn
 dell,
 In the path through the dew-laden clover; Nor echo the whispers that made my hear
 As they fell from the lips of my lover.

THE TABLES TURNED.

It was just such an American village as you see in pictures. A background of superb old mountains clothed in blue-green cedars, with torrent thun- lering dcwl deep gorge and falling in foamy pillows: 2 river refecting the azure of the sky, and q knot of houses with church-spire at one end and thicket at the other, whose black smoke wrote ever-changing hieroglyphics against the brilliancy of the sky.rs
 This was Dapplevale, and in the rosy sunshine of a June day the girls were all issuing forth, while General May, the foreman, sat at his desk, pen be- hind his ear, and his small, beady eyes drawn back as it were in the shelter of precipice of shaggy eyebrows.
 One by one the girls stopped and re- ceived their pay for one weeks work, for this was Saturday. One by one they filed out with discontented faces until the last one paused in front of the desk.
 She was slight and tall, with large velvety blue eyes and complexion as delicately grained and transparent as rose-colored wax, and an abundance of glossy hair of so dark brown that the casual observer would have pronounced 1t black, and there was something in the way the blue ribbon at her neck was tied and the manner in which the simple details of her dress were arranged that bespoke her foreign birth.
 "Well, Mademoiselle Marie, how do you like factory life ?" asked the fore man.
 "It is not disagreeable," she an- swered, 8 slight accent clinging to her tones like fragrance to flower, as she extended her hand for the money counted out to her.
 "You have given me but four dollars, and it was eight by the contract" she said.
 The foreman shrugged his shoulders with an insoIent air. "Humphl you ain't much accus- toned to our way of doing things, are you, mademoiselle Eight, of course, but we deduct two for fee." "Ae For what?" demanded Marie with flashing eyes.
 ''For getting you the situation, to be sure. Such places don't grow on every bush, and you naturally expect to pay for the privilege"
 "I did not.'
 "Oh, we'll, all right. You ain't obliged to stay unless you choose"
 "Do you mean that if do not pay this money "- hesitated Marie.
 "You can't expect to stay in the works" said May, hitching up his collar.
 "But the other two dollars?'
 'Oh, that is percentage the girls all pay," said the foreman.
 .'But what is it for?'
 MT. May laughed.
 "It helps out my salary. Of course you know the girls expect to pay some thing each week for keeping their stu ations in a place where there are SC many anxious to get in.'
 "And MT. Elder?'
 'sOh, he hasn't much to do with it. am master, if you please" "Mr. Elder owns the works2"
 "Well, yes, he owns it, but manage everything. MT. Elder reposes the ut most confidence in my ability, and h. is good business man. He under stands his own interest. And now you have any mora questions t ask D.

INCIDENTS OF THE EXECUTION.

Mrs. Scoville was at the jail before the execution, but was refused admittance. After her brothers death she came again and brought with her a cross of white roses with carnations to lay on the coffin. She was in 8 pitiable frame of mind.
 "Friday morning, during our devo- tional exercises" said the Rev. Dr. Hicks. "Guiteau wept copiously, but it was for joy. repeatedly asked him if he did not feel sorry for what he had done and urged him to make his peace with Jesus before it was to late.

Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, in an
swer to self-conceited preacher who
prayed God to have mercy on the
Mayor, gives his view of the temper
ance question, as follows:
True, drunkenness is the cause of
much crime, and brewers and distillers
make the article from which drunken
ness springs, but State statistics show
that pr0hibitory laws would not stop
the crime. The bulk of mankind use
stimulants, and yet very, very small
minority are drunkards. I can use
stimulants and be a good Christian.

the manufacture, it is the Incorporate
use of liquors that makes crime. Our
cities are filled with brothels. Why?
Because the Creator created woman as
he did, and gave men passions for ghe
benefit of man. These passions are
prestituted, and cause vice. Are we to
condemn the Creator for endoWiug'
men with passions because his weak
creatures abuse those pasaions? Prop

The Republican managers who have
for some time been employing the no.
torious John I. Davenport to do their
dirty work, seem to be getting at his
true inwardness. A Washington tele-
gram says:
Marshal Jewell, Chairman of the
National Republican Committee, says
the talk about John I. Davenport dis
covering the author of the Morey let
ter is all bOsb. He says that the Ma.
tional Republican Committee have
already paid Davenport about $4,000
for work in this direction, without
anything being accomplished, and that
the Congressional Committee and in
dividnals have paid him some $40, ,00O
additional. The supply of money will
now be cut off, the conclusion being
reached that nothing definite is likely
to result from further efforts.

ARts asIow i'm st. Louis.

ST. Louis, June 1.-THE seyerest
storm that has visited this region for a
long time passed over this city between
twelve and one s'clock this morning.
The wind attained a velocity of sixty
six miles an hour, and did very great
aggregate damage, but so far as is now
known, no single injury of magnitude.
Trees and fences were Frustrated i'll all
sections of the city; shutters, signs,
chimneys, etc., blown down, and a
general havoc among small things pre-
vailed. A very heavy rain accompa. .
MED the wind, and streets, sewers and
cellars in many parts OF the city were
flooded. Several steamers ut the wharf
lost chimneys or had some part of their
upper works carried away, and barges
and small craft were banged about a
good deal. Every telegraph line in
the city was prostrated, and at this
writing communication is restored to
only few points. A good deal of plate
glass was broken in the business part
of the city, and a great many windows
of residences blown down.

Mr.. James Smith, of New Milford,
