churches,

In Brooklyn the original custom sur
wives, with increasing splendor every
year; and last year 10000 children were
in the various columns. There it is a
secular day religiously enjoyed-this is
the only combination Of words that gives
fair idea of it-not Sunday school
affair exclusively, certainly not a staid
or prim Sabbath affair, still less a com
mon school exercise, but emphatically a
children's day. The streets are theirs
till the parade is ended, carts and wag-
ons must keep off, business must consent
to be secondary. Indeed, most places
are closed, with flowers in the window
or flags on the roof or green wreaths
twined about the doors; one can deco
rate as he or she pleases, put out the flag
or banner Of any nation or society-it is
a day of social freedom.
For weeks in advance the children pre-
pare for it. That is the day for new
summer hats and light dresses and lovely
sashes; all the modistes and milliners are
busy for many days before. The chill
dren are formed in divisions, as many as
ten or dozen, and in these each Sunday
school is company, SO to speak. Some
times they move on many streets at
once, sometimes in parallel lines in diff
ferent directions on the same broad
street, and this makes a most lovely
kaleidoscope, each child's hands being
full of flowers and many with wreaths
around their necks or banners festooned
with flowers. Sometimes each school
marches to the church Of some other
school, where cake and fruits are served.
Sometimes several divisions concentrate
on Fort Greene or some other of the small
rparks, the lovely children, bright flow
ers and white dresses making beautiful
sight among the green trees, and gener-
ally there is final concentration and
parade in Prospect park. No other day
in the year brings more genuine happi-
ness to Brooklyn than the day Of the
children's inlay walk"
This is prominently the age Of chill
dren, but there is great need that
this present popular current in regard to
children should he intelligently directed,
lest it should reach an absurd extreme.
Some foreign visitors maintain that
Americans have already gone quite too
far in the emancipation Of children, but
the Americans arc in the habit of wait
ing till the evils Of any system become
very great before they change 1t. They
never reform in theory. And as long as
there are so many ways Of directing
youthful vitality innocently, SO long
will the people trust to ''children'a

The possession of an intelligent dog
in the family may be very useful
means out of emergencies Not long ago
some members Of family returning
from an evening entertainment were IN
able to gain an entrance into their house.
The key had been forgotten and the SER
wants were evidently asleep. Ringing
the door bell produced no response. The
only sound indoors was that of the dogs
tail gently humping against the rug,
but after a time that ceased. The dog
had recognized his friends and refused
to bark. When all efforts to enter
seemed fruitless, the door..was opened by
sleepy servant accompanied by very
wide awake dog. 1t seemed that this
friend of the family had made his way
to the servants room and had gently
awakened her to realization of the sit
uation. AS he had never been permitted
to enter the room before it is evident
that his sense Of the needs of the occa-
sion had shown him that he should not
wait for ceremonious invitation.-Bos-
ton Journal.

those giving a sort OF respite in farm and
garden work, were common to q large
area; equally, Of course, all the Sunday
schools Of that area selected dates near
together, and so we can easily see how
they finally settled on one common day,
without searching for any individual to
credit it to. The Methodists, however,
did take formal action. A committee of
six were appointed previous to their cen
tenary in 1866 to report on the institu-
tions Of the church, expressed some re-
greet in their report that there was no
day specially devoted to children, and
recommended one early in June, which
was soon adopted. Mr.. G. G. North, of
New York city, one of that committee,
is therefore pleasantly called the 'Father
of Children's Day" 1t now appears
probable that the first Sunday in June
will soon be the day observed by all the

days, OF at any rate many other days.
are made; and to give their exube-
rant vitality fair vent some other day
than Sunday is now selected. And it is
emphatically the children's day. 1t is
wonderful how completely the little ones
have conquered. With no law upon the
subject, no proclamation by the mayor
and no extra efforts of the police, all the
streets are cleared early; by co4tlmon
consent all deliveries Of daily bread,
meat. milk, &C., are made at an extra
early hour, then all places of business
close, all who are able are on the streets
and thousands and tens Of thousands of
children in long columns make the city
lively with white clothing, gay hats and
brilliant flowers.
Before giving full description it may
be well to give the history Of the day,
and here one meets difficulty. No one
knows tho exact date Of its origin, or
who began it. Probably it was a spon-
tancous growth. In Brooklyn the Gus
tom of having May festival for the
Sunday schools can be- traced back some
forty years; but Brooklyn's MAY walk"
is not, strictly speaking, the Children's
day Of the rest of the country, and the
latter is very recent affair. Indeed,
it is only within the last ten years
that it has become anything like general.
Methodist authorities date its origin in
their church from their centennial of
18G6-the time when SO many nice things
were inaugurated-but it had attained
to some regularity in other denomina-
tons before that date. In Europe fes-
tival of this nature has been in existence
at least century and a half Indeed,
any one obsarvant of human nature can
readily see that children's festivals of
some kind must have been ever since
man emerged from barbarism. We should
know this on general principles, without
any history on the subject.

II. Carlisle, President of Wofford
College, Spartanburg, South Caro-
lima, and G. L. S. @. Counselor for
the South, to teachers and all 9th
er lovers of good books:
"Surely we may each of us call
to mind some book which we have
read, some lecture which we have
heard, which has left upon our
minds the indellible impression,
which opened a door which has
never been closed, which gave us
a stimulus which we have never
lost. What a feast there is
in single good book! Spend, if
possible, one hour each day in
reading some good book" Stan
ley.
Can you find or make a little
spare time each day? Suppose you
take up the Chautauqua course of
reading, and thus keep step with
many readers all over our country,
and in other parts of the world.
Three quarters of an hour daily,
for four years, will take you
through it. 1t will do you good.
You may thus review old fields of
study, or be carried into new. A
definite course of good reading
will be an uplifting influence in
your daily life.
You may do good to others by
setting an example of continuous
reading. A living writer says: II

much given to the cultivation of
their minds, and they need a few
to set them an example. | will be

think in order that our town may
not get into state of perfect in.

nation or the city were to vast to
call forth any noble feeling of this
kind, surely the family is little
enough and near enough. Might
not a man say: Il will go through
good deal of intellectual drudg-
cry in order that my wife and
children may uncOnsciously get
the benefit of it. | will learn facts
for them that they may be accu-
rate, and get ideas for them that
they may share with me a more
elevated mental state. | will do
something toward raising the tone

Will you not frankly admit that
there is some force in this writer's
appeal9 If no more practical way
to carry out this idea occurs to
you, will you try the Chautauqua
course? Thousands have tried it
with good results to themselves,
their families, and their commu-
mites. Are you not willing to SOW
that you may reap some or all Of
these benetits9 While laying in a
