Hints ON the Management of Chill
dren.

In the regulation of study, the pecu-
liarity of character and disposition, and
the extent of capacity, must be studied.
Generally speaking, children should
first be taught to exercise their bodily
senses by observing objects, by listen
ing to sounds, by noticing the smell
of flowers.
Those who teach young children
should speak to them properly, not lisp
ing or using silly words, for they can
understand sense better than nonsense.
Children should be uniformly taught
to practice obedience, truthfulness, JUS
tice and kindness, and good examples
should be constantly set before them.
The practice of frightening little
children, in order to make them quiet,
has, in some cases, resulted in convul-
sions and death.
Relating ghost stories and other
frightful tales to them has frequently
exercised an injurious influence for life.
At the same time remember that chill
dren love stories, and delight to have
them told again and again. Always
give them a moral turn of character.
Set before your children examples of
cleanliness, order, punctuality, delica-
cy and politeness and proper care of
manner.
Accustom children to find their own
amusement 1t is the most unprofta-
BILE slavery to be constantly finding
amusement for them. Encourage con-
struction, and furnish material, leaving
ingenuity to work. 1t is most impor-
tant that, as soon as they can read,
their books should be judiciously chos
en- for them; for it should be borne in
mind that bad books are more plentiful
than good ones. We cannot be too
emphatic in warning parents to watch
well the books that come into their
children's hands. 1t is high duty to
stimulate and encourage in the young
love of good reading. 1t should not
be too exclusive in its subjects, but all
subjects should be made subservient to
the:moral culture of the young student.
But, above all things, teach the chill
dren to love and reverence their Crea-
tor, and obey His laws. Their morn
ing and evening prayers, their daily
grace, their worship in His tabernacle,
their keeping holy the Sabbath-let none
of these things be neglected. Then,
whether at home or abroad, in the
school room, in the workshop or engag-
ed in their sports on some village green,
you will find them grow up blessings to
yourselves and honored members of
society,""

EmbIems of the Lime-Kiln Club.
Detroit Free Press.

DetFoU Tree 1Te65.
On motion of Calamity Hastings the
matter of a national emblem for the col
ored race was taken from the table for
discussion. He favored beehive him
self, but would not be captious about it.
Prof. Bannister favored the coon as
an emblem. 1t represented industry,
vigilance and courage. Colored people
were often referred to as coOns, any,
how, and the emblem would cut both
ways.
Trustee Pullback had given the mat
ter much thought, but his preference
was for an old hen sitting on about
thirty-four eggs. If that didn't repre-
sent industry and clear grit he didn't
know what could.
Samuel Shin had made up his mind
that the only emblem he would vote for
would be that of colored man walk
ing in shady lane with watermelon
under each arm.
Sir Isaac Walpole favored the figure
of black bear; Elder Toots declared
in favor of the beaver Judge Cadaver
would have nothing but the figure of a
black man waving plough in one
hand, threshing machine in the other
and crying "Yewreka !"
The discussion promised to bring
forth no fruit, when the President put
a stop to it by saying:
"Gem' len, at meetin' of the Com
mittec on Harmony, Art an Agrieul-
ture, held in de library last night, an
emblem was decided on. 1t am dat of
an eagle seated on de fence between a
co'nfeld an tater patch, while his
claws hold banner on which am in
scribed: "Hard work will bring you
plenty of both"

The U. 8. Supreme Court.
Boston Budget.


Every morning a few lawyers, gener-
ally wearing black dress suits, congre-
gate in the United States Supreme Court
room, which was formally the Senate
chamber. At eleven O'Clock the door
of a side room opens and Marshal Mic
olay enters, followed, by the Chief JUS
tice and the Associate Justices, wearing
their DIac1S- roDee OF onlce.| NIcoIay an
nounces, as he enters: 'sThe Supreme
Court of the United States" the law
yers rising and assuming respectful at
titudes. The Chief Justice stands be-
fore the central arm chair, and the JUS
tices stand on his right and left in the
order of their respective appointments.
The Court then bows to the bar, and
the bar returns the bow reverentially.
The business ofthe court then proceeds.
Once week decisions are rendered in
the presence of half dozen lawyers
and dozen spectators, more or less,
which ratify or annul important legis-
lation, confirming statutes enacted, or
setting them one side as worthless
The Supreme Court is, consequently,
really the highest power in the land,
and the Chief Justice and his associates
are profoundly aware of their impor-
tance.
With the exception of Mr.. Justice
Bradley, the Judges of the Supreme
Court are men of great magnitude at
thn dinners snsSsnadfnd and drink more old Madaira
wine than any other class of officials at
Washington, and their fset" is the
most exclusive. 1t has been the custom
in years past for the Court to make
formal visit to the President on the
opening day Of each term, and the ne
glect of Mr.. Arthur to curtail his "out-
ing' that he might be at the White
House to receive this visit, has elected
censorial remarks. Indeed, to hear
some of these venerable old "roosters"
in black gowns sigh, as they talk about
the Presidents absence on their open
ing day, one would think that some
great calamity must ensue, and that the
wheels of government would soon stop.
The President, however, will soon make
it fright by giving the court its clerk, its
marshal and its reporter, with their
wives, jolly good dinner.

Heaven ON the Shelf.
The Christian.

AS Tohn Ellicott was once calling on
a merchant, he saw in the counting-room
ledgers and account books on the table,
while some religious and devotional
books were laid up on the shelf, and
remarked to his friends:
"Sir, here is earth on the table, and
heaven on the shelf. Pray do not
think so much of the table as to alto
gether forget the shelf"
We are too prone to put heaven on
the shelf, and so busy ourselves with
this world that we forget the next.
But the things that are seen are temper
al i; and how soon they must all pass
away. A little while and every earthly
delight and possession will have passed
forever beyond our reach; and there
will be nothing left for us except the
unseen and the eternal. Let us then
occupy ourselves most with the things
that are enduring. Let us lay up oul
treasures where they cannot be stolen
or destroyed; let us seek first the king
dom of God, and his righteousness
knowing that all needed things will bt
added unto us.

Grant at Fort DOnelsOn.

From an illustrated article on "The
Battle of Fort Donelson," by General
Lew Wallace, in the December Century,
we take the following: "There were in
attendance on the occasion some officers
of great subsequent notability. Of these
Ulysses S. Grant was first. The world
knows him now; then his fame was all
before him. A singularity of the volun-
teer services in that day was that no.
body took account of even a frSt-rate
record in the Mexican War. The bat
tie of Belmont, though indecisive, was
a much better reference. A story was
abroad that Grant had been the last
fair, and the addendum that he had
fingered in the face OF the enemy until he
was hauled aboard with the last gang
plank, did him great good, From the
first his silence was remarkable. He
knew how to keep his temper. In bat
tie, as in camp, he went about quietly,
speaking in a conversational tone, yet
he appeared to see everything that went
on, and was always intent on business.
He had faithful assistant, adjutant
general, and appreciated him he pre-
ferred, however, his own eyes, word,
and hand. His aides were little more
than messengers. In dress he was plain,
even negligent, in partial amendment
of that his horse was always good one
and we'll kept. At the council-calling
it such by grace-he smoked, but never
said word. In all probability he was
framing the orders of march which were
issued that night.

Trial by Jury.

In the provisions of the Assize of
Clarendon, held in the year II66, in
the reign of Henry II, of England, we
find the origin of trial by jury, so often
attributed to earlier times. Twelve
lawful men of each hundred, with four
from each township, were sworn to pre-
sent those who were known or reputed
as criminals within their district for trial
by ordeal. The jurors thus were not
merely Witnesses, but sworn to act as
Judges also in determining the value of
the charge; and it is this double char
acter of Henry's jurors that has descend
ed to our ''grand jury" The trial
after the investigation by the grand
jury was found solely in the ordeal
or Judgment of Cod" Innocence
could be proved by the power of hold
ing hot iron in the hand, or by sinking
when flung into the water, for swim
ming was proof of guilt. The whole
system of ordeal was banished by the
| Council of Lateran.

was actually a member of the House
when elected President-that being the
only instance where citizen while
holding a seat in the House of Repre-
sentatives has been elected to the Sen
ate and little futher on
SELECTED BY THE WHOLE PEOPLE
as their chief magistrate. We have had
Presidents who have served in the Sen
ate, but no one has been chosen to that
office who was Senator at time of his
election. This is a noticeable fact,
because the United States Senate is our
highest deliberative body, and its rolls
embrace largely the illustrious names in
our political history.
The people seemed to have turned to
the army for President whenever dis
tinguished success in the field has given
them the opportunity to so show their
gratitude for valor, and the perhaps
more wise and sagacious statesmen in
the Senate have been hidden to wait.
Leaving out Of the list Washington,
soldier and statesman both, for he was
"first in war andafirst in peace" we
have only to mention the names of
Jackson, Harrison, Taylor, and Grant
to prove the assertion-General Scott
was really the only conspicuous and
distinguished soldier of the country who
has not been thus honored, and even
his successful opponent was General
Franklin Pierce of (more or less)
Mexican war fame. Hayes modest but
creditable war record undoubtedly aid
ed him in his lucky strike, and the
more valuable military services of Gar
field, although not of the highest rank,
beyond doubt largely endeared him to
the people. But for the hearty and en-
thusiastic feeling of gratitude to our
military heroes-which is quite natural
and pardonable-it would be difficult
to understand why the claims of such
eminent and sagacious men as have
adorned the Senate of the United States
in years gone by to have been repeat
edly ignored or passed by for men con-
fessedly not their superiors-alas in
more than one instance not their equal
in the wisdom, sagacity and necessa-
ry experience to preside over a great
nation at peace with all the world.
Of the sixteen elected Presidents,
but seven occupied seats in the Senate
before their election and of the contin-
gent or accidental Presidents but two.
Andrew Johnson was Senator from
Tennessee both previous to his election
to the Presidency and after the expira-
tion of his term of office-recalling the
fact that John Quincy Adams served in
the House of Representatives after hav-
ing been President. These two notable
instances are the only ones in our his
tory where ex-Presidents have re-enter-
ed public life.

A correspondent writes: "Some of
us live in old homesteads that, though
well and solidly built, have suffered
from times ravages others in the mod
ern houses more cheaply put up, both
of which are sometimes very uncomfort-
able in cold weather, admitting cold
currents of air around doors and win
dows, and requiring an extra supply of
fuel to make them comfortable. 1t will
not only contribute to ones comfort,
but will greatly reduce the winter out
lay for fuel to make the,house as tight
and warm as possible before severe
weather sets in. Rubber weather strips
are excellent for making doors and
windows tight. But if one does not
desire to purchase them, there are va
rious equally effective homemade con-
trivances. For instance, if the windows
fit loosely and rattle in the breeze, little
wooden wedges fitted in between the
upper and lower sash make them firm,
and the crack between the two sashes
may then oftentimes be covered over
with strip of cloth or paper pasted on
with stiff -four paste. The cracks at
the sides of the sash may be stuffed with
with cotton or soft old rags that can be
pushed in out of sight with thin -blad-
ed case-knife. Doors can be made
tight by tacking listing or strips of
woolen cloth around top and sides.
When there are wide cracks at the bot
tom of doors, make long, narrow bags.
fill them with sand and lay them close
to the crack. These bags of sand may
be covered with bright-colored cloth
and made by no means unsightly."

Never Give Up!
BY KATE GLIDE.

In the world that lies before you
There is much for you to win:
But beforehand you must conquer
Foes without and foes within.
And if now your tasks can rout you,
Then, when hfe's real battles call,
Will you, in their heat and struggle,
Victor stand, or vanquished fall?
Can you hope for bright successes
If you're always failing now?
Do you think defeats will help to
Weave the laurel round your brow?
Just as little straws can tell us
From which side the breezes blow,
So the way you work at triaes
Will your perseverance show.
Never say that fate's against you,
That you cannot conquer luck;
There is no such thing as either
All depends on ,0ork and pluck.
Just you be resolved to conquer,
Never mind how tough the fray;
Put your hands and brain in motion,
And, my friends, you'll gain the day.

Attention has been called to the fact
more than once alluded to that no as
pirant to Presidential honors whose

The fact is the more noticeable, perhaps,
when we remember that such men as
George Clinton, De Witt Clinton, VIM.
H. Crawford, John C. Calhoun, Lewis
Cass, Henry Clay and Salmon P. Chase
have at different times either been can
didates for the Presidency or their
names seriously considered by their

Another tradition that has frequently

disturbed by the present struggle, is
that no candidate has ever yet entered
