Systematic Work for Fretful Children.
There is nothing so sure to steady the
nerves of the hetful and excitable child
as regular school work in the hands of
a real teacher. Many child who is
celebrated for dangerous fits of temper
at home becomes entirely transformed
under the influence of such school,
till her nearest relatives would not rec
ognize her if they should ever take the
time and trouble to visit the school
room.
/ do not mean a schoolroom full of
competitive examinations, of marks, !"
and of irrelevant inducements to make
the child commit to memory mass of
unrelated and undigested facts. Imean
one where, without any inducement but
the natural desire for knowledge, which
is all sufficient with any American child
if it be rightly directed, you find steady
and well ordered labor, without haste,
though not without rest, and honest,
thorough and pleasurable work.
We may learn lesson from this fact
for it is no theory-of the effect of
regular work on our tired nerves, and
wise shall we be if we apply it. Even
the most consistent homeopathic physi-
clan could not object to this kind of
tonic; though he would tell you, and
truly, that tones are worse than of no
usa for ovarvorl,ad nerves - Halls

FRIDAY MORNING, DEC. %, 1891.

and was in utter despair OF all human
help, and | laid this matter before the
Lord, and this morning went down
among some old business friends had
not seen in many years jug; to make
call, and one said to me, WHY am SO
glad to see you, walk in We have
some money on our books due you a
good while, but we didn't know where
you were, and therefore not having
your address we could moi send it, We
are very glad you have come,'" And
the man standing in Fulton street
prayer meeting said, "The amount
they paid me was six times what l
owed" You say it only happened sol
You are an inildel. God answered that
mans prayer Oh, you want business
grace.
Commercial ethics, business honors,
laws OF trade are all very good in their
place, but there are times when you
want something more than this world
will give you. You want God For
the lack of him some that you have
known have consented to forge, and to
maltreat their friends, and to curse
their enemies and their names have
been bulletined among scoundrels, and
they have been ground TO powder,
while other men you have known have
gone through the very same stress of
circumstances triumphant, There are
men here today who fought the battle
and gained the victory. People come
out OF that mans store, and they say,
"Wek, if there ever was Christian
trader that is one Integrity kept the
books and waited on the customers.
Light from the eternal world flashed
through the show windows. Love to
God and love to man presided in that
storehouse.
Some day people going through the
street notice that the shutters of the
window are not down. The bar of
that store door has not been removed
People say "What is the matter" You
go up little closer, and you see writ
ten on the card of that window,
'Closed on account of the death of one
of the firm" That day all through the
circles of business there is talk about
how good man has gone, Boards of
trade pass resolutions of sympathy, and
churches of Christ pray, Help, Lord,
for the godly man ceaseth,
He has made his last bargain, he has
suffered his last loss, he has ached with
the last fatigue. His children will get
the result of his industry or if through
misfortune there be no dollars left
they will have an estate of prayer and
Christian example which will be ever
lasting. Heavenly rewards for earthly
discipline. There ''the wicked cease
from troubling and the weary are at
rest"

OLD TIME RHYMES.
Some Quaint Christmas Verses of Other

Some Quaint Christmas Verses of Other
Days.
1t was Thomas Tusser who, nearly
three and half centuries ago, advised
all people to at
Christmas play and make good cheer,
For Christmas comes but once year,
in his quaint book, entitled Five Hun
drede Pointes of Good Husbandrie,"
but it was previous to this that there
had been issued mock play called
alexander and the King of Egypt" the
conclusion of which is given in Rays
collection of Proverbs" as follows:
Bounce Buckram, velvets dear.
Christmas comes but once year;
And when it comes it brings good cheer,
But when it's gone, it's never the near.
tNote-Bounce Buckram is equivalent to
"tbrow away your old clcthcs."f
Again, in a rare tract published in
1858, are the lines:
Let's dance and sing and make good cheer,
For Christmas comes but once year.
Herick, in his "Hesperides," treats:
Of Christmas sports, the Wassell Boule
That tost up, after FoX-i'-th'-hole;
OF Blind-man buife, and of the care
That young men have to shooe the Mare;
OF Ash-heapes, in the which We use
Husbands and wives by streakes to chuse;
OF cracking laurell which fore-sounds
penteous harvest to your grounds
A writer in The Gentleman's Magazine
for May, 1884 tells us that "the drink
ing the Wassail bowl or cup was, in all
probability, owing to keeping Christmas
in the same manner they had before the
Feast OF Yule. There was nothing the
northern nations so much delighted in
hs carousing ale, especially at this sea-
son, when fighting was over. 1t was
likewise their custom at all their feasts
for the master of the house to fill large
bowl or pitcher, to drink out of it first
himself, and then give to him that sat
next, and so it went around"
In Poor Robins Almanac for 1877, in
the beginning of December, he observes:
q Now blocks to cleave this time requires
'Gainst Christmas for to make good fires
which salutary advice is still to be heed
ed in northern ATTITUDES.
The Yule log figures largely in all the
poetry of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and
Fifteenth centuries, and of this Herrick
says:
Come, bring with a noise,
My merry, merrie boys.
The Christmas Log to the firing,
While my good DAME she
Bids We all be free
And drink to your hearts desiring;
with the last years Brand
Light the new Block" and
For good success in his spending,
On your psalteries play,
That sweet luck may
Come while the Log is attending.
Drink now the strong Deere,
Cut the white loafe here
The while the meat is a-shredding;
For the rare mince pie
And the plums stand by
To fill the paste that's a-kneading

sixty per week in that city, reached during
foggy week in December 300 Observa-

city and the quantity of sulphuric and car

door plants.
1t was found that during three DAYS of
fog an amount equal TO 600 weight of sui
phurlc acid was carried down by the snow
In one part of the city, and farther awav
from the center, near Owens college, the
amount was over 100 weight, the blacks
over two tons, and the hydrochloric acid
about 200 weight. One OF the results of the
inquiry has been TO emphasize the demand
for cheaper gas, so as TO stimulate its use
