The Evening Post says: Had it not been for
the weakness of Vanderbilt stocks consequent
upon the resignation of the presidency of the
New York Central by VIM. II. Vanderbilt, and
his announced retirement from active manage
ment of the road, the market would probably
have been strong to-day, as there has been a
feeling of growing confidence in regard to crops,

tween the trunk lines.

Mother and Daughters.

The mother who sacrifices her.
self for her children is very apt to
sacrifice her children In the pro-
cess. The wise mother should be
the head OF her household; and
with quiet, unobtrusive dignity
she should take that place and
hold it. She should not become
the subject of her own children.
She should not dress them above
nor herself beneath their means.
Her laoes should be finer and her
jewelry more expensive than her
daughters Her room should be
the better furnished, her life the
better equipped, Even in these
mere .eGternalities she should be
the queen, her daughters the prin-
oesses.; the crown should be on her
head, not on theirs. Thus from
babyheod they should be habitu-
ated toilook up, not down on moth
err. She-should find time, or max e
it, to care for her own culture; to
keep her intellectual and her art
nature alive. They may advance
beyond her knowledge; let her look
to it that they do not advance be-
yond her intellectual sympathies.
Woe to both her and them, if
she do not keep them well in her
sight.

The Queen of Home.

Honor the dear old mother
Time has scattered snowy flakes on
her brow, plowed deep burrows on
her cheeks, but is she not sweet
and beautiful now? The lips are
thin and shrunken, but those are
the lips which have kissed many a
hot tear from the childish cheeks,
and they are the sweetest lips in
the world; the eye is dim, yet it
glows with the soft radiance that
never can fade. All, yes, she is a
dear old mother. The sands of life
are nearly run out, but feeble as she
is, she will go further and reach
down lower for you than any other
person on earth. You cannot enter
prison whose bars can keep her
OUT you cannot mount a scaffold
too high for her to reach that she
may kiss and bless you in evidence
of her deathaess love when the
world shall despise and forsske you :;
when it leaves you by the wayside
to perish un4oticed, the dear old
mother will gather you in her arms
and carry you home and tell you
of all your virtues until you al
most forget your soul is dis6gnred
by vices. Love her tenderly, and
cherish the declining years with no.
ly devotion.

Souvenir Quilt.

The making of a souvenir quilt
is new idea for the young ladies
who have many friends. A large
square OF satin or silk forms the
center; on this the monogram is
usually placed; around it a band
of plain satin or silk of contrasting
color; then a border of squares, ev-
cry other one painted or embroid-
cred by some friend, the interven-
ing one plain. Another band of
satin around this, another border of
squares, and still a third plain
band, will bring the quilt to about
the proper size, though of course
much will depend upon the size of
the center, which forms the basis
of the whole. A bar of music, a
verse of Aud Lang Syne,"a Japan
ese fan, dainty figure of young
girl, are among the designs we have
seen for the squares. The lining
of the quilt must be of some soft
silk or satin fabric. An old dress
dyed bright, cneeriul color, may
be used to advantage.
A book-rack for ones favorite
volumes may be manufactured of
an ordinary six-pound starch box.
Take out the two sides of the box.
If it happens to be one that is NOR
tised together it will leave very
pretty notched edge on the two
ends. After thoroughly washing
SO that it is free from the PARTICLES
of starch, just above the center OF
each end bore with small gimlet
two holes an inch and half apart,
Paint the whole black or imita
ton ash. When dry, slip piece
of bright satin ribbon through the
holes il the ends, and tie in pref
ty bow outside. The inventor Of
this addition to the study-table
calls it an Eastlake book-rack.-

At the Gable.

The temper of the family is Otter
indicated by the atmosphere at the
table Three times day all gather,
there to have the body fed. If
there is at the same time an AMI
mated conversation, pure and dig
nified, it will prove stimulating to
all and an educator to the younger
members. Thus tAree times day
something is added to the stock of
information. If, on the other hand,
the family drop in one at time,
as the manner of some is, and each
one hurriedly disposes of what is
set before him, as if eating were a
burden, then hurries away, there
is an unsatisfed feeling, an uneasi-
ness which will develop nervous
ness and irritability9 aside from
the irreparable loss of regular
healthful conversation. Whitelaw
Reid, in referring to the wonderful
conversational powers of Reverdy
johnson, said it was mis- habit to
rise early, READ Two hours peloIe
breakfast and rehearse what he
had read at the table. The act OF
repeating impressed what he had
to read on his memory so that be
could go over a chapter of history
giving the most minute details
and almost the style of the author.
Pleasant repartee in moderation IS
stimulating. 1t promotes good
feeling, but sensational or gossipy
small talk narrows the mind and
tends to friction and ill-humor;
and that family who are led in the
social table talk by wise and Guilt
waited parents will have little time
to give to the tailings of neighbors

Ueeeiving Children.

There can be no doubtthat of all
the humbugs practiced in the
world there is none which, on the
whole, is attended with more ruin
GUS consequences than the decep-
tons which parents constantly
have recourse to, and that with a
perfectly easy conscience, to evade
the troublesome curiosity of chill
dren. 81 am convinced" says NJ.
Dumas, that the greatest revolu-
tionaries in the world of ideas,
those who have most Mortified man
kind, who have caused the she'd
ding of the most blood and the
most tears, have been children to
whose first questions men have not
replied as they ought to have re-
plied.-Religious Herald.

Temperance Nursery Rhymes.

Sing songof temperance,
A pocket fun of gold,
Four-and-twenty bank-notes
In the cupboard rolled.
When the door is opened
Out the notes we bring;
Tell me where the drinking-man
Can show you such a thing.
The brewer S in the contingencies,
Counting out his money
His wife is in the parlor,
Eating bread and honey,
The drunkard IS in the tap-room,
Dressed in ragged clothes.
Soon may he be made to see
The cause of all his woes!
Mistress Mary, wise and wary,
How does your money goe
With temperance sound, many pound
We've got in the bank to show.
Poor Mrs. Horner sat in the corner,
Saying with many sigh,
Hes into that den, drinking again,
What sad wife am !"

Who Has Seen Christ in You To-
Day!

"The parson asked a strange
question this evening"" said John
Sewell to his wife, Ann, on his re-
turn from church one Sunday.
"What is it, John ?"
"'Who has seen Christ in you to-
dayY | wish you had been there
to hear him, Ann he made it pref
ty plain that all who love Christ
ought to show by their conduct
that they are in earnest"
THAT is true, John, / know l
often fall short of what a Chris
tian should be-"
II am sure that you and the
children have not seen Christ in
me to day If 1 had remembered
to be like my Master, should rot
have beem so cross with you be-
cause you wanted to take your turn
out this morning"
"And | shouldn't have snapped
you up and been so vexed," inter
rupted Ann.
"Then / used Tom roughly be-
cause he worried me, and when he
cried / boxed his ears, when a kind
word would have made all right.
There are plenty of things | should
have done even to-day, if | had
acted up to the parsons question"
ave will try to begin fresh,
john. You're quick and l get
veyed. We've both deal to learn.
We must just pray that the chill
drea and our friends may see
Christ in u.s."
Monday morning came. John
was up early, and before he went
off to work he asked that Christ
might be seen in him that day.
Ann did not forget that she. too,
wished that Christ might be seen
in her; and at breakfast time the
children were told how Christ
might be seen in them, and they
were cautioned to be kind and low
ing towards one another, anG to-
wards their panions.
Thus throughout the family,
tempers were quelled for Christ's
sake and pleasant acts were per-
formed for Christ's sake and John
was able, in that same strength, to
ask fellow workman to forgive
the sharp words he had spoken to
him the previous Sabbath.
II had the happiest day | ever
spent" John remarked to his wife
that evening. 81 know I've long
been a professor, but ! have not
shown by my behavior that I do
really want Jesus to be seen In
me-"
Pm sure it's been just the same
with me-" remarked Ann.
II know why some of our fell
lows in the shop find fault with re-
ligious people, and call them no
better than those who have no re-
ligion at all. The Christians are
not shining lights but get into the
same tempers, and use the same
sharp words, and do the same ac-
tions as men in the world, and SO
we bring reproach on Jesus"
"That's well said, John. I mean
to ask myself every night, who
has seen Christ in me to-day? l
know that / shall often have to
tell God that I've failed, but Jesus
will help me to be true in him.
and you know there is text
which says, 4 live, yet not I, but
Christ that liveth in me-
Dear readers, will you take this
question home, "Who has seen
Christ in me to-day @-Friendly

No Christian need trouble him
self about marking out his own

the West Florida Association, which

Der and continues four days. This is the

world, facilitating the transportation of
exhibits and the attendance of visitors
from aiar. There will be races, tourna-
ments, walking matches and variety of
athletic sports. There will be great
show Of fine stock, agricultural products
and specimens of artistic and mechanical

uted in cash premiums. Those desiring
