A Plea for the Children.

I am daily surprised to see how many
thou.htiess, careless mothers there are,
bringing up their little ones las we might
say hap-ha .ard, VITA scarcely a thought OF
anything leyonl tho present. Our little
folks are entirely creatures Of habit, and it
good habits are not formed early, Lad ones
will certainly be formed later. Every
mother, care not what her station in life,
or her duty to society, should have tho over
sight and care personally of her children,
and as soon as able after their birth, should
bathe, dress, and feed as nature intended
her own baby. We who have done this 1or
each precious one, know the pleasure and
satisfaction to be found in the work This
bath should always be given at the same
hour of the morning, then the little one,
tired and hungry after it, should be fed,
when it naturally follows a long, quiet nap
will be the result, and thus Ito use a common
exprcssion) Legins the day right end first. "
Let this become q fixed habit and let it once
be broken in upon and watch the result.
A shorter nap, cro:scr child, a harder day
and worst of all a iretful, woln out mother.
Try the same experiment with older children
and what follows! The next morning tells
the story. 1t is harder to get started for
school the hour for the muse lesson seems
longer clothes don't feel right books can't
be fouad, tears are shed, and everything
goes wrong, all for the lost hour o. the

should lay this matter to heart AMI help to
keep her daughters, sweet innocent faced

Let US put them to bed with thcir dolls in
their arms, and don't laugh at them for

4 LONG AND BLOODY FIGHT BETWEEN
TWO ANIMALS IN WYOMING.
A dispatch from Lander, Wy.
gives an account Of q battle between
a Black Hawk stallion and NOUN

Charles III. Ferguson. a well.known
hunter, camped on the banks Of a
tributary of the Wind river, up IN
the mountains. He had se'ec ed a
small bunch of cottonwoods as his
temporary home. These gave him
both shelter and firewood. A little
distance from the camp there stood
an enormous cottonwood, apart from
all others, beneath which was pick
eted the stallion. A few nights ago
Mr.. Ferguson was aroused from n
sound sleep by a neigh from the
stallion. The sound seemed to be one
ofrage rather than alarm, and hasti.

tent and looked in the direction Of
the horse, The animal was standing
