SLEEPLESSNESS.
a Mothers Remedy-How 1t Operated On
Baby.

a hOtneES hemeuy-ttOW III operated On
Baby.
One evening few weeks ago, says d
writer, l had an exaggerated form of a
very common experience with my
baby. He never goes to bed exactly
with the setting of the sun, but on the
evening in question it seemed as if he
had really forgotten how to 90 to sleep.
l did not put him to bed and let him
cry himself to sleep, for l had tried
that once and his crying soon led to
such fit of coughing and choking
that [ was frightened, and l vowed
never TO do so again; and so eight,
nine, ten O'Clock came, and the little
eyes were wide open. | used all my
arts of soothing and persuading, but
there he sat and laughed and coocd,
and watched the light and shadows I'M
til eleven O clock came and went and
twelve was just at hand. Something
must be done, and | could think of
nothing. unless possibly wet cloth on
the head might have a soothing effect;
at least it would do no harm to try. |
took piece of canton flannel, large
enough when doubled to cover the
whole head, and wruDg it rather dry
out of warm water, then put it closely
over baby's head so as to cover both
ears and eyes. The effect was wonder
full There was Il brief struggle, then
perfect quiet, and III less than five
minutes the little fellow was sound
asleep. Since then | have tried it
again and again, and always with the
same quick result. 1t is simple rem
edy for sleeplessness and well worth
knowing and trying. Ba6yh00d.

MY DEAR SIR: Through ex-Gov Manning

OF January and LIST Of February.
have no hesitation IN saying that most
cordially concur in tho general purposes and
views Expressed by you. Tho States are the
sovereign parties to the Government OF tho
Confederate States. They are the creators; it,
the thing created. The Constitution is the
great power OF attorney. by which alone the
Government OF the Confederate States derives
it's powers; and n strict construction OF those
powers is essential to tho sovereignty and PROS
perity OF the States. This Constitution WAS
made to govern in war and peace. and know
OF no sound rule OF construction which would
vary the interpretation OF the Constitution to
suit the seeming exGenc es OF each occasion.
The Constitution was made for the protection
OF the States and the people OF the States in
the enjoyment Of their rights md lihsrties.
Whatever tends to the enJOyment OF these in
their fu lest measure advances the interests OF
the whole
monish Ms that eternal vigilance is tho price"
which III" States and tho reopo must pay for
III, presentation OF thnr liberties;
We mast never forget that the Government of
agent OF the States. cannot. constitutionaiy

correct the errors OF the wavward child while
harsh treatment will but widon aud deepen
the breach
Just this course understand you to propose
toward the Government 0t tho Confederate
States. Many AID Grave errors have been conf

the part OF the States might have prevented
