around tho hall Of the House.
There was much discussion MS to tho power
OF the House to extend authority under such q
resolution beyond the adjournment. and In
Quirles as TO precedents for such action.
Deputy SerEeant.at-Arms Ike lIil said he
never heard Of but one similar case and could
not recolect the date OF 1t.
4 search In the manual and digest Of the
House. however. disclosed tho fact that SINH
lar action had been taken so recently as in the
Tiitieth Ind Fifty second Congresses. and tho
both Speaker Carlisle and Speaker Crisp had
ruled that an order to the Sergeant at Arms to
arrest absent members might extend over ad-
IouTnmrnt
The case In the last Congress occurred at the

attractive that the Dem ocrats could not keep

Every one who has a fixed income of
any kind ought so to regulate his expend-
itures as to bring them within it. This
is habit which should be inculcated in
the very earliest years. The child with an
allowance for its pleasures be it ever so
small, should never be suffered to exceed
it or to draw upon the future The youth
should be taught to undergo self denial
rather than to borrow the money to obtain
qualification. There is more true indie
pendenco in this lesson than in hundreds
of shouts or boasts of liberty which too Of
ten only convey the idea of casting off
duty and obligation. Such instruction,
however, will be useless while example
points the other way. The father and
mother who live beyond their means, who
incur debt for the pleasures Of the table,
or for dress, or for the vanity of competing
with neighbors and keeping up certain
style of living or for private indulgence
of any kind, need never to expect to Guilt
vate In their child an honorable determi-
nation to owe no man anything.
Zeal. Progress.

Tho disadvantages of Seeing.

To get really good education one must
be unfortunate in some way. Those who
ever saw the graduating ceremonies of the
Perkins Institution of the Blind and OBJ
served how solid and thoughtful the young
men and women were, and at the same
time reflected that the students had q
great obstacle to overcome in gaining an
education, must have wondered whether,
after all, it is SO great misfortune to be
blind. Seeing somehow dissipates the in
telligence. No curiosity SO idle as the Gu
riosity of the eyes. To see is SO delightful
thing that during great part of our life
we see not for the sake of knowing, but
for the sake Of seeing. And the seeing of
q thing being past and gone we think no
more about it or know nothing about it.
The blind person, being under no neces-
Sity to satisfy this curiosity Of the eyes,
has much time to study in his own way
and then to reflect deeply and clinch his
hold upon the things he has learned. There
are many of us in the seeing world who
live almost wholly upon what we See
who are susceptible to beauty in things
seen that our minds must be occupied
with it long after we have seen 1t, and Of
ten when no doubt we should be learning
or thinking to some useful purpose we
are merely bringing back to our minds
eyes the things that our bodily eyes have
seen. Nor are these things always alto
gether good for the development of the
mind and the soul. If, for a part of the
time, we could 60 through the world with
closed eyes, and even feel our way about
the streets with q stick it might be better
for our ntellects.-Boston Transcript.

In his "Recollections of Virginian"
General Dabney H. Maury tells Of an old
lady in fredericksburg who was reduced
to taking In boarders in order to make
both ends meet. On one occasion Of pc
culiar stress the larder was so empty that
the good lady took to her bed and sum-
moned her servant. Nancy" she said,
"there's nothing in the house for my
boarders to eat except mush. But give
them that. If they are Christians, they
will accept In resignation and thankful
ness And If they are not Christians st Is
a deal too good for them"
