The Story or an Authors Child.
TIadfssf TTo,fts Io,,ruuf

Every woman in the land has bowed down
before John Halifax, Gentleman but how
MANY know much of the life of the woman
whose brain child he was? There is i'm it a
little romance that am sure many will like Ia
hear. Married to a gentleman who was a Grip
pie, Mrs Muloch Craik lived an idyIlie life at
a beautiful country home few miles from
county town. She heard one day, quite incl
deutally, that a baby had been found on q
stone ut the crossroads, that it had been taken
10 the Town Hall and that all the gentry about
were going to look at it because it was such a
sweet little child. So, following the example
of her neIghbOrs she went too. Looking up
into the sweet, sympathetic face Of the famed
authoress, tho little baby smiled and put out its
wee hands.
Dinah Muloch Crai< could rot resist this,
aud so she determined to take the child for her
very OWE Quickly it was wrapped up and il
became her baby. Devoted to it, she was yet
determined as it grew older il should never
have its heart hurt by being told the story of
its birth and adoption; so, as soon as the little
girl was able to understand, it was lovingly
whispered to her that she had been found on
the large stone which stood in the center of the
Hall, and which always was decorated with
flowers, and that God had put her there that
her mother might fud her. As soon as she
grew old enough, it became her daily duty to
cut the flowers and arrange them 10 make

from the crossroads and brought there. To
hcr it represented the place where the hands Of
the angels had rested when they laid her down.
CuriOusly enough, the child became very proud
OF the way in which she had reached the dear
mother who cared for her as lovingly and as
tenderly as ii she were really Of her own flesh
aud blood. Her birthday was the day on
which she was found, and when the tenth one
came around and a ehild's party was given her,
she Was heard asking one little girl, How
old are you ?" The other one answered, Il
was born niue years ago." "Oh!" answered
the baby, "you were born like other children,
but am better than that; l was found just
where God had placed me-" The childish pride
was as amusing as it was pathetic.
The years have gone by, the eyes of the good
mother are closed forever TO the sights Of this
world, but the child she cared for lives in the
great town Of London, and remembers; and
when the mother of John Halifax, Gentle
man." and OF this girl stands before Almighty
God, don't you think that He will say, "As
ye have done it unto the least OF these, so
i will unto yon."

Sleep for school Children.


We all know how much greater is the need
of children for sleep than OF grown persons, and
how necessary for their good it is to be able
fully to satisfy this need but how great it is
generally at any particular age Of the child is
very hard to define exactly. The amount varies
under different climatic conditions In Sweden
we consider a sleep of IL or II hours necessary
for the younger school children, and Of at least
eight or nine hours for the older ones. Yet the
investigations have shown that this require
ment lacks much Of being met in all classes,
through the whole school, Boys in the higher
classes, get but little more than seven hours in
bed and as that is the average it is to easy per-
ceive that many Of them must content them
selves with still less sleep. It is also evident
from the Investigations that the sleeping time
is diminished with the increase of the working
hours from class to class, so that pupils of the
same age enjoy less according as they are higher
in their classes. 1t thus appears constantly that
in schools Of relatively longer hours of work,
the sleeping time of the pupils is correspond
ingly shorter. In short the prolongatiOn of
the working hours takes place for the most
part at the cost of the time for sleep.

The common school is our chief public insti-

and the better and more importapt they are
the more carefully they should be supervised

powerful agent but it is powerful to good end
only when it is intelligently managed. This
is equally true Of the common school. The re-
public is not secured when we have built school
houses aud appropriated money for their sup

" Of the Republic is found in taking care that
the school houses are used for their purpose and
the appropriations devoted to their object. The
most impregnable Notifications would be use

After more than three months imprisonment,

PROTECT THE NEGRO.

DIR. Harrison:
DEAR SR-Knowing that you feel
lively interest in the welfare of the COL
ored brother, we take the liberty of in
vitiug your attention 10 the existing row
between the white and black wings of
the party in Texas. The blacks claim
that the whites are bent on wolting the
spoIls, and that they-the blacks-are in
danger of being deprived OF the nflu-
ence in party councils to which their SUI
perior numbers entitle them. The DEM
ocratic party of Texas, which has always
respected the political rights of the me-
gro, regrets that such things can be, and
over come us like q summer g cloud under
your negro-loving administration. II it
is not an article OF faith in your political
creed that none but white Republicans
may harrass and abuse the negros
rob him of his proper share of the loave,
and fishes, and deprive him of his poll
tical rights and influence, you should in
terpose your authority in his behalf, as
you sought to do with the force bill. If
too busy yourself, to look into the mat
ter, how would it do to send Bill Chan
dler TO investigate and report upon it?
We would suggest the name of Henry
Cabbage Lodge, for that mission. but he
is at present devastating Maine in the in-
terest of one Reed, and we suppose
can't be spared Warrior Shepard is
busy settling the strike on the Wander
bildt roads, aud Mr.. Blair is fishting
rum in the senate. Chandler Is the only
fire eater not busy. Send him.

TARIEE LOGIC.

Here is n glorious and a fair sample OF
tariff logic. When Senator Mcpherson
argued the other day in favor of remov-
ing the tariff on salt, Senator Blair, the
bowling fakir from New Hampshire pro-
tested, and said that "uIder the opera
ton of the tariff the price of salt had
been reduced TO one twenty-fifth of what
it was in Benton's time" and that
therefore the tariff should be continued
on it. And this pious old fraud wants
us 10 swallow such rot as that, when we
all know that if the tariff reduced the
price of salt one twenty fifth, instead of
tweuty-four twenty-tifths as he says, he
and every salt maker in America would
be bowling to put salt on the free list.
But as long as there are SO many gull
bic patriots in the county Blair can well
afford to play the hypocrite and i'm
postor.

BINDING THYME IN THE SENATE

contempt and detestation of every farm

Benedict Arnold's treason was of
higher grade of infamy, if one may so
speak of it, than the base and trucking
servitude of some Western plutocratic

their party promised TO Danish.

every time an opportunity offers. These
farmers should think of the robbery of
the binding Irvine trust, and prepare to
lop off the head of every congressman
or senator from their section who failed
to vote against the twine tariff. Until
they do that religious duty they have no
right to ask for any favors from con-
gress. Congress, like God. helps those
who helps themselves. There are q
dozen Western senators and three times
of that section ought to bury in political
oblivion for having betrayed their inter-
ests systematically for years, before men,
tioning money. free coinage, banks CT the

duty, and correct the evil which only
they can correct, and congress will do
the rest. When they quit sending Bene-

SMUTTY SMYSER.

Another bomb exploded In Republican
ranks. Congressman Cooper's resolu-
tion calling for the dismissal OF Repre-
sentative Smyser from the Raum iuvesti-
eating committee directs attention once
more to the inherent rottenness of the
majority party in the honse. No one
had any faith in the honesty of the pur-
pose forced upon the speaker of investi-
fee. From. the beginning it was looked
upon as a cold blooded plan to white
wash the commissioner. No one sup
posed for moment that the arch knave
of the house would harm his friend, the
knave of the pension bureau, unless
there was some personal or party adran-
tage in so doing, which did not appear.
But il any one was credulous enough
to suppose that the investigation was not
a fake, the fact that Smyser, one of the
committee named by Reed, is a stock
holder in Raum g refrigerator company
is enough to dispel the Illusion. Reed
denies, of course, any knowledge OF the
fact, and regrets that an interested party
was put upon the committee. But moth
ng in Reed $ character or reputation
requires us 30 believe or put any faith
whatever in his explanations, or profess
1t is possible OF course, that he was
ignorant of the close business relations
between Raum and Smyser, but the
appointment of the latter gentleman on
the investigating committee has a fear
fully suspicious appearance, and IL it
was not knowingly made, was q most
remarkable coincidence.
But if Reed was gulltless what is to be
said of smyser? Wac he too ignorant of
his partnership with Raum in the refrig-
orator swindle-for it was said some time
t,ontraption-or had he merely for
gotten the circumstance of his
connection with 1t? What excuse can
his friends make for him? He admitted
that he is partner of RRum's by
promptly resigning his place on the COM
mlttee as soon as the exposure OF the fact
is made.
OF course It is needless to say
that no honorable man would have done
as this smutty Smyser did. If he was
not n corrupt rascal, he would never
have allowed Reed to put him on the in
vestigating committee. This disgraceful
saturnalia of political debaucheries ram
pant in the house under the demoralizing
rule of Reed, Cannon & Co.
