me Cbilaren,s Festiva,

There is every reason 20 believe there will be
two delightful entertainments given at City
Hall this afternoon and evening. The pro
gramme is especially we'll arranged. The poem
entitled my Lost Youth" has peculiar local
interest for Portlanders and the music TO which
it is set was composed expressly by Mr.. Hszell
for this con cert. The parts of the poems treat
ed are the first, second and last stauzss. The
song will be sung BY Mrs. Charles H Pratt
whose voice is so much enjoyed oy Portland
people. Mrs. Pratt is the coniralto as is well
known, of the williston quartette. Then there
is the original ode, written for the occasion,
which will prove delightful feature. In fact
it would be hard to select more pleasing pro-
gramme. and the house should be crowded at
both performances. 1t is hoped the donations
of flowers will be liberal

Early Rising and Late Resting.

1t is q mistake, says the London Lam
Get, TO both rise early and take late rest.
The rising early is good as habit OF
life, it does not mean robbing nature
of her opportunity to recruit the ex-
hausted strength of brain and body by
prolonging sleep when that necessary
luxury is at length enjoyed. There
would appear to be some need of re-
monstrance on this score. The fashion
of the day favors early rising and the
manly "tub;" but those who rise early
have, for the most part, sat up prodigi
ously late, and the tub is chiefly APP
preciated because it rouses the system,
and makes it feel-and feelings are very
strong and vigorous. This
is burning the candle at both ends. II
we must sit up half the night, it would
be better to sleep half the day than to
rise betimes and go in for arduous labor
after insufficient rest. Early rising is
harmful without early resting.

for an obliging neighbor, who came and
began the work for her. The husband
got mad and struck the neighbor, and
was for that indiscretion given the most
merciless thrashing he ever received
