The sabbntII nd Homo.

The ideal Sabbath is the Sabbath at
home when the bead of the household

ayyer, capitalist or Operative-enjoys
week y rest among those for whom six
days of iatOr have beer sent. Wheth-
cr the Sabbath Institution was or was
not created Ivy the fourth command

nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy
maid servant" a glimpse OF the rest
full enjoyment wlIich>tbe day in the
primitive conception of il, would bring
To the families that keep it. The day
of resi- being rest, not nv, Try or dissipa-
tiGH and being, IkeGcforC, a day of

Sabbath keeping people, AMI such
thnU2 htfulness is manIinesS. All men,
aud especially the ousy millions i'll an
advanced civilization like our own,
need for the mind. sake, not less than
for the sake of wearicd nerves and
muscits :, the seventh daily intcrmis-
sion of their ordinary work. y true
Sabbath is something far more restful
than day of noisy jollity. In its
calm air the mind rests by thought,

The home in which Sunday is a day
of rest and home Judgments hallow-

In the Sabbath-keeping village, life is
less frivolous, and 2S~1he same time

HORACE GREELEY-S
DAUGHTER.
PhiIantIIrRpisI and Friend OF
the Poor, Carrying Her
Charity Into Squaltd
Quarters.
Commercial Gazette.

New YORK, Sept. 23.-"Why, Miss
Greeley, what are you doing III this
dirty hole?" said Coroner Hyatt yester-
day morning, as he entered the low
shanty of Daniel Lee, in the woods on
the borders OF the village of Ghappa-
qua. Miss Gabrielle Greeley, the only
surviving daughter of the late Horace
Greeley, was bending over the corpse
OF a small boy, whose strange death
the Coroner had come to inquire about.
"po not think it strange that | am
here" said Miss Greeley, with a sad
smile, as she raised her head from the
body. "This little boy is my especial
charge. am his god-mOther, and his
little sister, Emma, there, you see
weeping, is devOut attendant at my
Sunday School in the Episcopal
church."
The body lay in rude pine box
about foar feet long and eighteen inch
es wide. 1t was the only casket that
the shiftlesS parents could procure.
The sunken eyes, the bruised and dis- |
cOlored forehead and the look of agony
ON the face told tale of squalor sell |
dom, if ever, seen in a Christian CONS |
munity. The little body which claim |
ed her attention was that of Frederick |
Lee, the fOur>year-Old son of David |
and Emily Lee, who occupied the |
shanty with their four children. At !
the cOrOner's inquest, the father could |
not be found, but the mother, who had
just recovered from the effects of
protracted spree, testified that she aud
her husband had bought can of alcOs
hOl, and had been drinking heavily
since Saturday. A little ten year. old
daughter then testified that her BROTH
er Freddy had found the can contains
ing alcohol, and drank great deal of
it. ~ saw him come down stairs"
said the little witness, land he was
staggering as papa does. Then he fell
INTO my lap, and then knew he had
oeen drinking. l smelled his breath
and found out. He could not speak.

'oOn he got down and lay on the floor
md went to sleep. He never woke up

ped after it got dark, and he slept all
lay Monday, and would not wake up.
IN the afternoon he was crazy. He
Iutted his head against the wall and
lad fits. He died this morning."
The jury brought in a verdict of
ensure against the parents. This
evening Miss Greeley sent an under
aker to remove the body of the dead
10Y to the Id Greeley farmhouse,
where the late Horace Greeley lived |
o many years. Tomorrow the funer-
i will take place from Miss Greeley's
house.

Some Indian Girls, at the Coy
ernnent School at Carlisle.

As an example of their st0iCism, ii
| is said that during n fight with our
troops, i'll the West, an Indian woman
| concealed her little girl in n barrel,
telling her to remain perfectly quiet,
whatever happened. After the battle
the child was found with her ann
shattered by Il minie-ball, but she
had uttered no sound. Their distrust
of the whites is as characteristic as
their self-cOntTOl. One of the little
girls at the school, who retains her In
dian name, Keseeta, bears frightful
scars from wounds inflicted by her
mother with sharp stone, Their viii
lage had been taken by United States
soldiers, and rather than have her
child fall into the hands of the white
men, the poor mother tried to kill her.
Coming from such influences, it is
surprising TO not 8 how quickly the
young Indians sh ow appreciation of
what is done for Il ZEN, and the intelli-
gence and afIectiO n which light their
black eyes rs they return the greetings
of the noble won zen who teach them.
Many of the flames of these child
rem, especially of the girls, sound odd
ly, for it is comm on for them to choose
Christian names of their own, while
ietainiug their stlIer.s' names for the
sake of family distinction. This gives
rise to such Gueer combinations as
Isabella Two Dogs, Katy White-B Bird,
Maud Chicf-E<iller, Gertrude White
Cloud, Maggie AUleTican-HOrsc, An
ia Laura SnOoting-Cat, Alice LOnee
Bear, Hattie Lone-Wolf, Stella
Chasing Hawk, and Ruth Big-Head.
These girls are neat in their habits,
bright, and initiative. Some of them
have very pretty faces and could read
lily be mistaken for white children; the
faces of others, newer arrivals, have
sadness and vacancy of expression due
to pJivation and suffering. Yet these
face :, we are told, are not so sad as
We're some others which now culver

Strange PIayfeIIOws.

The following account Of the re-
markable frient iship between the ele-
phant Queen and little Don Mel
vile is taken from the article by John
II. Coryell in St. Nicholas for October:
"When he could just toddle, Don
would run up to Queen with n chuckle
of delight, and putting his white,
plump little arms around her great
brown, hairy trunk, would tug away
with all his little strength, as if he be-
lieved he could pull that living nouns
tain over,
''And, str ange to say, he actually
accomplish ed his object, for Queen
hUmored the little fellows fancy.
Swaying. and stumbling with delight,
she wo'dG gradually allow herself to
come 20 her knees, and finally to fall
over on her side. And it was touch
ing 10 see how all the time she kept
her eyes lovingly on the beautiful baby
taking care that no movement of hers
should even disturb him!
when she was at last ppOstrate,
Don would look around rs If to say,

initiate what he had seen the trainer
perform. He would Chamber and

there he would sit, with the air of a

thrust his little fist into the elephants
eye or to swing his foot into her
mouth, but not motion would the
patient creature make while he, sat
there, for she seemed to know til; Vt lac
was not very secure i'll his high perch.
"SOmetimes Don would carry his
pioture-hlocks TO Queen, and together
they would build houses. Don would
puton one block, and then Queen
would take one up in her trunk md
put it in its place as carefully rs if she
had been used to the game all her life;

Through the overhangiDg trees,
With a sad and mournful sigh,
Whispers by,

Coolly, sweetIy, sadly, gently PUSHES by.

two, May and Lew,
And her tiny booted feet
With the branches nearly meet,
And l see in eyes of blue,
Love so true,
Fond and true,
Brightly glowing, gladly beaming, fond and
true.
We are sitting in the hnmmock, lovers fair,
foolish pair,
And my careful arms around
Her delightful waist are wound,
Just to keep the little dear
From fear,
Haunting fear,
From tumbling, toPpling-over, haunting
fear,
We are lying in the grasses, she and l, May

And the maiden blushing red,
Sitting squarely on my head,
Utters one affrfghted cry
