Find out what their special tastes are,
and develop them, instead OF spending
time, money and patience in forcing them
into studies which are repugnant to them.
AS long as it is possible, kiss them good
night sfter they are IN bed; they do like 1t
so, and it keeps them very close.
If you have lost child, remember that
for the one that is gone there is no more
to do; for those remaining, everything;
hide your grief for their sakes.
Impress upon them from early infancy
that actions have results, and they cannot
escape consequences even by being sorry
when they have acted wrongly.
AS your daughters grow up. teach them
at least the true merits of housekeeping
and cookery; they will thank you for it in
later life great deal more than for &C
complishments.
Try and sympathize with girlish flights
of fancy, even if they seem absurd to you;
by so doing you will retain your influence
over your daughters, and not teach them
to seek sympathy elsewhere.
Remember that although they are all
your children, each one has An individual
character, and that tastes and qualities
vary indefinitely.
Cultivate them separately, and not as II
you were turning them out by machinery.
Encourage them to take good walking
exercise. Young ladies in this country are
rarely walkers. They can dance all night,
but tired out if they walk a mile. Girls
ought to be able to walk as easily as boys.
Half the nervous diseases which aillict
young ladies would disappear if the habit
of regular exercise were encouraged.
Keen up light standard of principles
your children will be your keenest judges
in the future. DO be honest with them in
small things as well as in great. If you
can not tell what they wish to know, say
so rather than to Deceive them.
Reprove YOUR children for tale bearing;
child taught to carry reports from tie
kitchen to the parlor is detestable.
Send the youngest to bed early; decide
upon the proper time, AMI adhere to it.
Remember that visitors praise the child
rem as much to please you as because they
deserve it. and that their presence is Oft
ener an sillction than not.-Selected.

THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW WAY
The train was swiftly flying on,
And curled up on a seat
Isaw O lovely little one.

The train was swiftly flying on,
And curled up on a seat
saw lovely little one,
Now wrapped In slumber sweet.
Her round cheek on her dimpled hand
Glowed like sweet spring rose,
Her small face, framed with golden curls,
picture Of repose.
The conductor passing on his way
With wonder viewed the child,
For no one there had claimed the waif.
So he said in accents mild,
AS he reused the pretty sleeper,
Baby, who brought you here?
Where are you goings Come, tell me.
Now don't be frightened, dear.
Where is your ticket, little one!
Wake up and pay your fare;
Or is this all the gold you own?"
Touching her silken hair.
my fare' o. yes, twas paid, you know,
BY Jesus when he died
Upon the cross long, long ago,
When he was crucitied.
And no one brought me here, sir,
But, you see, I wish to go
To the Celestial City,
Where mamma has gone, you know.
This road was straight and narrow,
so knew 'twould take me there;
Then I saw your pretty carriage,
And climbed the little stair.
Here waited all alone, sir,
But, 0, l didn't mind it.
said, Yes, narrow Is the way,
And few there be that find it
When all these people crowded In
feared twas not the way.
But eresI could get out again
Your big horse ran away;
And he's been running ever since
Ihope he's going right.
Does your road lead to heaven, sir,
Where there is no more night"
Here the conductor bowed his head.
And vsinly tried to speak,
And quickly brushed away the tear
That sparkled on his cheek,
While the childish voice continued:
Why, sir, when we get there
We shall never know sorrow
And never have care;
When we reach the New Jerusalem
I'll find my dear mamma.
Us there some one also that you love
Who's waiting for you there:"
Yes. yes, dear child" he answered,
And with Gods help, say.
My train shall run hereafter
The Straight and narrow way"
Then when you reach the city
Whose gates are made of pearl,
Will you call me if I'm sleeping"
Questioned the little girl.
You'll know it by Its streets of gold,
Its shining jasper wall,
The river flowing from Gods throne,
The tree of life SO tall.
And then the gates are never shut,
Because It's always day;
o, I'm so glad I've found at last
The s'-aight and narrow way!'
Now he.e the tired, tiny form
Sank on the cushioned seat.
And soon her eyes again were sealed
In slumber calm and sweet.
As the conductor read the name
Alice Eugenia Hale
On the small handkerchief she dropped,
His face grew very pa 9.

rs this dear little waif;
I'll send telegram at once
To tell him she Is safe.
Surely q guardian angel
Was sent to me this day
By the fond mother who once taught
My infant lips to pray.
And when my final run I've made,
And all life's stations past,

My terminus at last

REPUBLICAN, AGONY.
1t is Almost impossible to
Find Martyrs in This
County.
WILL THERE BE A CONVENTIONS
The Hall Where it Should Be Held
Today is Utterly Deserted.

The Republicans are having a hard
time to get anyone to consent to be igno-
miniously beaten at the polls next month.
the County Convention was called to
meet at Woods Hall at three
o'clock. At half past two not
single delegate was in sight.
Woods Hall was lonesome in its empti-
ness, and Barrow street was as bare as
street of some deserted village. Nor was
there anyone in the usually rallying
points in the vicinity. The absence of
delegates was attributed to the fact that
nointerest is taken in the proceedings.
There is likelihood of row between
those who want to nominate a Senator
and those who want the convention to rec
Ogize Stuhr as Senator, and declare that
no vacancy exist. There is a strong ele-
ment which think candidate should be
nominated, and that Frank o. Cole
should be the nominee. 1t is said that
there is prospect Of inducing him
to consent to ride in the first hearse at
the funeral of the Republican party next
month. Major Peloubet who has
for several years been suffering
from severe attack. of chronic
candidacy. wants to run for Director-at-
Large, and will probably be. given the
nomination. The other offices are goin q
begging, and the leaders are hustling to
fnd some one willing to sacrifice himself
on the party's altar.

AFTER COLONEL FULLER.
Some of the Little Things His Party
Friends Treasure.

Some of the Little Things His Party
Friends Treasure.
There Is considerable dissatisfaction
among the Republicans of the First As
sembly District over the nomination of
Colonel Charles Whiskerless now Fuller
for member of Assembly. This dissatis-
faction is greatest in the First ward Of
Bayonne. the election district of ex- Mayor
John Newman. Although Mayor New
man is pleased with the nomination of
Fuller he has admitted that the Colonel
is the weakes man OF all the we'll known
Republicans in the district for an Assem-
bly, candidate. Strange as it may seem
the majority of those who ere disgruntled
over the nomination are stauncn New
man men. 1t Is estimated that the nonii-
nation is unsatisfactory to at least three
hundred Republicans of Bayonne. OF
this number over one hundred belong to
the First and Fourth wards.
Fuller is looked upon as q Sewell and
Harrison man and the Bayonne ReDubli-
cans are III the main opposed to Seweli
dictation and enthusiastic adherents of
Blaine. II Is openly yasserted by dissatisfied
Republicans that Fuller knows full well
that he cannot be elected. and that he
merely took the nomination in order to
have the State and National leaders be-
lleve that he is always ready to sacrifice
himself for the benefit of the party as so
much capital for himself in the appor-
tionment of patronage in Hudson county.
The fact that Fuller drew his full salary
when a member of the Assembly from
the old Sixth district and then resigned.
SO that he could accept the State Super
intendency of Schools, to which he had
been elected through n nefarious dicker
with certain Democrats, leaving the dis :.
trict unTepresented, still rankles In the
minds of respectable Republicans. The
old charges that he failed Co keep pledges
that he made when he sought and secured
the party nomination that year are also
laid up against him.
So is his course while City Attorney of
Bayonne in using the influences or his
office to further the interests of private
clients through the the qualification Of
the city 8 municipal authorities, as cited
by Vice Chancellor Pitney in his decision
in the case Of the Packard Ship Canal and
the Bergen Neck Railway Company.
While the dissatisfied Republicans freely
assert that they will neither work nor
vote for Fuller they also aver that they
will not work or vote for
Thomas Magner, his Democratic op-
poueat. This means that there will be
q larger number than usual OF stay-at-
home Republicans. The disgruntled
Bayonne Republicans say that after con-
ceding the nomination to their city the
Greenville section of the district dictated
the candidacy of Fuller. They are very
angry over this also. The fact of tho
matter is that in the caucus preceding
the convention the Bayonne delegation
stood seven for ex- Freeholder Charles Il.
Mum and six for Fuller. but the Green
vile delegates led by Major William H
Armstrong, the chairman of the conven-
tion. refused to agree 10 abide by che
BaYonue caucus.

Special to the Jerseu Citu NeUs
ELIz ABETH. Oct. 10, 1S91.-EiGht-year
old James Steebe, who had been suffer-
ing in the City Hospital of disease sup
posed to be hydrophobia, died yester-
h is death the medical faculty of the
hospital were unanimously of the epin-
ion that he was dying of the arabies.
Since his death. however. not enc of the
physicians can be induced co express O
positive opinion as to it's cause. There
seems to be ground for suspicion that
the hospital surgeons were mistaken in
their first diagnosis.
The Steebe boys scalp was nearly torn
off by a vicious dog two months ago. He
was taken to the hospital, where the strips
Of skin were sewed back in place.
In a few weeks he WAS discharged
from the hospital as cured. Four
or five days ago James began to
complain Of pains in the head and back.
taken to the Hospital for treatment.
Then the child took spasm, the sur
Qeons held consultation. and his disease
was declared to be hydrophobia.
An autopsy performed yesterday failed
to discover that death had resulted from
rabies. Parts of the brain and spinal
cord have heen sent to the Loomis Labor
atory In New York, where they will be
subjected to nicroscopical examination
A well-known physician here. not a
member of the hospital faculty. who has
kept himself we'll informed in this case,
declares unhesitatingly that the child's
death was due to cerebro-spinal men,
ingitis. The fact that the brain was
found to be slightly congested rather sup
ports his opinion.

Collector Mallock did his work,
AT about half past five o'clock Bowker
appeared IN uniform and quite intoxi-
but Mallock refused to permit him,
knowng he would probably be injured or
Killed. owing to his inability to take care
of himself.
Bowker also met his brother-in-law,

WENT TO HIS DEATH.
Inc last seen OF him was when he was
on the platform between the two slips.
Here he found the heavy iron
top OF water hydrant and tied it to his

the suicidal desire. he made his
way to the slip where lay
the boat which had been tied
up all night and jumped or lowered him
self into the water between the end of
the bridge and the boats bow
He could do this unnoticed, as no one
was at this slip at the time. This was at
about ten minutes to six O'Clock When
his disappearance was noticed later
