The Rev. j. Ryle, speaking on this
subject, says:


If you love your children, do al! that
lies in your power to train them up to
habit of prayer. Show'them how to be-
gin. Tell them what to say. Encour
age them to persevere. Remind them
of it if they become careless or slack
about it.


This, remember, is the first step i'll
religion which child is able to take.-
Long Leiore he can read, you can teach
him to kneel by his mothers side, and
repeat the simple words of prayer and
praise which she puts into his mouth
Beware less they get into a hasty, care
less and irreverent manner. Never
give up the oversight of this matter to
servants or nurses, or 10 your children
when left to themselves.


That mother deserves no praise who
never looks after this most important
part # her child's daily life herself
Mothers, surely If there be any habit
which your own hand and eyes should
help in forming, it is the habit of prayer.


If you never hear your children pray
yourself, you are much to blame. You
ale little wiser than the the bird de-
scribed in job, (which leaveth her eggs
in the earth, and warmcth them in the
dust, and iorgetteth that the foot may
crush them, or that the wild beast may
break them. She is hardened against
her young ones, as though they were
not hers; her labor is in vain without
fear"


Prayer is, of all habits, the one which
we recollect the longest. Many gray
headed man could tell you how his
mother used to make him pray in the
days of childhood. Other things have
passed away from his mind, perhaps
The church where he was taken to wor.
ship, the minister whom he heard
1,ranols, iha aanlPa.sioiss who used t.
play with him-all these, it may be
have passed from his memory and left
no mark behind. But you will often
find it far different with his first pray
ers. IIe will often be able to tell you
where he first knelt, and what he was
taught to say, and how his mother
looked all the while. 1t will come up
as fresh before his minds eye as if it
was but yesterday.


Reader, il You love your children, ]
charge ycu, do not let the seed-tine of a
prayerful habit pass away unimproved.
If you train your children to anything
train them, at least, to a habit ol
prayer.


Prayer is the incense of the soul,


The odor of the flower,


And rises, as the waters roll,
To Gods controlling power.

ANOTHER HERoINE.-Ida Lewis, the
daughter of the keeper of Lime Rock
Light in Newport harbor, has suddenly
achieved all enviable and farreaching
fame. A short time since the noble
souled girl pulled her little boat out in
10 the harbor, in the midst of a heavy
squall, and by her single effort saved
two soldiers belonging to Fort Adams,
from drowning. And this is but one of
many similar deeds of courage. Spend
ing her days on bleak, wave-washed
rock, this Grace Darling OF America has
saved half as many lives as she is years
old, needless alike of exposure, storm
and danger. II is cheering to note how
her beautiful and modest hcroism is at
last meeting with its well-earned re-
cognition. The press all over the land
is echoing her praises with kindly and
encouraging words; the garrison at Fort
Adams are making up n purse OF three
hundred dollars the soldiers she saved
have presented her with a valuable


watch and chain; the citizens of New
port are building life boat for her and
substantial testimonials of esteem are


being sent her from all quarters.

Some time ago a prominent Radical
paper said "GRANT was more deserving
ofsympathy thas of blame" There is
certainly something in his situation
that excites pity. He went into the
Presidential chair with stronger back.
ing than any other man in the country
could have had. Each day Of his Ad-
ministration has seen him growing
weaker and weaker, until the time has
come that finds him impotent as to
power over the popular heart, and al
most deserted by the leaders who were
once his warmest applauders.


Even the Herald, the biggest boot
lick before real power, aud the meanest
maligner of real weakness the country
has produced, now separates itself from
the fortunes of GRANT.


Friend after friend departs;


Who has not lost a friend


There is no union here Of hearts,


That has not here An end.

which BENNETT has beslsvered the
President, hear how he mocks at hi:
calamities:


We expected too much But then il
must be assented that we have got much
less than we might even reasonably
have looked for. We have got nothing
and here it is that absolute failure is
obvious. Grant was relied upon TO do
all, because in his whole career he had
seemed q man of common sense, common
honesty and resolute purpose. But his
resolute purpose has become puerile
vacillation: his common honesty is ne
potism, or worse; and common sense is
the quality of all qualities that the Ad-
ministration is most without.

The New York Herald confesses that
thus far, GRANT has been q failure, and
suggests that he now address himself
TO his great duties with something OF
the energy and patient persistency he
has shown in another sphere" He has
shewn unusual energy in placing his
relatives in office. When they are al.
supplied the affairs of the nation will
have chance of being attended to.

If we have any understanding Of
the meaning of this slang phrase, it
applies especially to the concluding
paragraphs Of Gen. Buffers late let

published as follows:

He again urges upon the attention
of the Legislature the necessity of
calling in the School Fund, when in
the hands of the County Treasurers,
and investing the same in State
bonds, or registered bonds of the
United States; or using the same in
building or supporting our State In
stitutions; that as fast rs collected,
the money be sent to the State Treas
ury instead of re-loaning it. Were
this fund used to erect or improve
our eleemosynary buildings, it would
only be necessary to raise tax suf-
ficient to pay the interest on the
amount thus used, thus avoiding the
constant losses to this fund which by
law the State must make good. The
fund would thereby be increased,
and hundreds Of thousands of dollars


saved to the State.

the Peabody Buildings is fully master OF MS
own house, and his seclusion and privacy are
as secure as in the dwellings in the adjacent
streets. The sanitary conditions of the build
ings have been found to be excellent, and the
habits of the occupants for cleanliness and
order have improved in marked degree. 1he
terms are well within the means of working
men, and the general favor with which the
scheme is received is apparent from the nume-
rous applications for every vacancy. The new
Trusts embraced in Mr. Peabodys recent
gifts will greatly accelerate the progress
of the trustees in carrying forward the oD-
iect of the benefactions. Sir Sydney
Waterlow's Company now house about 4OOo
persons. This Company has advanced more
RAPIDLY than the other because the Peabody
Trust only extends itself out of its own profits,
while the Waterlow Company obtains loans
from Government to erect other buildings on
the security of buildings already erected Other
companies in London have adopted similar
policy. and the progress made toward the re-
moyal of a crying evil is described as very
great. even in that great metropolis In New
York, we are convinced, the effect must prove



adaptabilty of our metropolitan population

the want of fair accommodations at tair

could not inaugurate his project at better
time.


A radical defect in all attempts at improving
the condition of the poor of this city Is TO DC
found in the fact that we have hitherto pro-
yided charities which could only be accepted
by the very base or the very unfortunate
classes of the community. There has been
no endeavor to provide workingmen
with homes where they can live in comfort
for reasonable rent and in this way to pre-
vent well-disposed people from becoming bad.
What we need are great public benefactlons
which shall not be charities. In this country
we have one peculiar illustration in point-that
of widespread religious communion In when
poverty and charity are alike unknown. The
German Baptists. or Dunkers as they arc usu-
ally called, together with the Mennonites and
other sects with similar tenets embrace a
membership of 100000 people in pennsylvania
and the West, and yet in this whole BODY
there is scarcely head of family not pos
sessed of competency. They are people
not addicted to the giving of aims, but the
Younger men have the use of the capital or
the elders, not as a gift but loan, and by
frugality and industry grow rich as they grow
old The same results might be expected to
follow in measure at least, if we should pro-
vide cheap homes for our laboring poor.
Thrift would be encouraged while happiness,
and education, and morality were promoted,
and what would be to the advantage of the
citizen yeuld also prove q gain to the city.

Mr. Reverdy johnson has this morning the
curious sensation of reading that, on the same
day and at the same session of the body OF
which he was so long a member, his work
was undone and his successor confirmed. The
vote in the Executive session rejecting his
treaty was emphatic enough, we trust, to
enable our friends in Great Britain to compre-
hend at last the truth which we have for
months sought to enforce upon them. We
respectfully commend to their attention the
figures. Fifty-four Senators voted against the
treaty; precisely one voted for it. The injunc-
ton of secrecy having been removed, Mr..
Summers speech on the subject is to be

A friend writes with regard to the bill in
creasing the fees of the Sheriff of our City,
now pending at Albany, that


"The provisions OF that bill monstrous, especially
those which enable the Sheriff charge upon erey erecu


ton received tho full amount OF the fees lie would be en-
titled to upon collecting the Judgment no matter
whether he collects cent, that think 1t Ought to re-
ceive the condemnation Of every honest man."


We beg leave to assure our verdant friend
that the monstrosity of this bill is exactly what
will secure its passage. The Sheriff can afford
to pay 100000 for its passage; there are good
many legislators who think they can afford to
take his money. Hence the bill is pretty sure
to 20 through.

The champions of Free Trade are so busy,
jealous, and well organized, that the necessity
of systematic work to counteract their inces-
SAINT efforts must be manifest to every thought
full advocate of Protection.


We do not fear the issue if the People can
only be induced to read both sides. Often as
the opposing arguments for Protection and Free
Trade respectively have been brought home to
the American People, We have secured
from / large majority Of all who can
read verdict for Protection. We can do it
again and again if the People can only be in
duced to read both sides. But if we give up
the field to our adversaries, VIC give up the
contest as well.


We propose hencefOrth to keep on hand for
sale the best works which illustrate and uphold
the principle of Protection. We beg our
friends to circulate them and challenge our
opponents to unite with them in reading both
sides. Mr.. Wells's late dishonest Report-dis-
honest in that it is thoroughly hostile to Pro-
lection while pretending to DO otherwise
is printed for cheap diffusion and scat
tered broadcast by our antagonists. We have
therefore procured supply of Mr.. CAREY's
LETTERS TO WELLS, thoroughly reviewing his
statements, and refuting his deductions. These
letters (hirteen) appeared in successive issues
of THE DAILY TRIBUNE, and are now col
lected in pamphlet which is twice as large
as Wells's Report, yet we will afford it at
the price asked for that by tho Free Traders
ten cents per copy.

TIE WAY TO OUTDo ENGLAND WITHOUT

We ask those who desire the prosperity and
growth of the Republic to aid us in giving
these works a wide circulation and general
perusal. We do not wish them read to the
exclusion Of those commended by the Free
Traders, but along with them, and by citizens
of every party and all classes, but especially
by those who live by their own

sides are fully considered, it must he

in accord with the public interest and the
highest public good. Too often, one class
hears the argument and another pronounces
judgment. Let US resolve that this shall not
