Jefferson made the number three,
Then Madison the fourth was he;
Monroe the fifth to him succeeds,
And sixth the Junior Adams lends;
Then seventh Andrew Jackson came,
And eighth we Gaunt Van Boron's name;
Then Harrison is made number nine,
And tenth John Tyler filled the line;
Polk was the eleventh as wo know,
The' twelfth- was Taylor in the row.
Fillmore the thirteenth took his place,
And Pierce was fourteenth in the race;
Buchanan the fifteenth is seen,
Then Lincoln as sixteenth came in.
Johnson the :eventeenth and last,
Still lives to close the illustrious past;
Now let us stop until we see
Who our next President will be.
Cheerful Sundays.
I can never toll why country clergy
men do not shut up their.
.ckurches in
summer, and selecting some lovely
grove, there talk, not "preach," to their
people. Where could be the harm of
letting "the Jews" and the "doctrines"
alone till cold weather? and giving now
and then a natural "burst" horn of the
woods, and hills, and streams? Every
summer how I long, as I travel about,
and these lovely calm sweet Sabbaths
dawn upon us, to have an out-of-door
church. Nor would it distress my sanc
tity to see the liTtle children rambling
round us—now listening to catch a
word, now straying off to pluck a flow
er, now spell-bound by the sweet hymn,
as the leaves whisper to each other,
"Glory to God in the highest; peace on.
earth and good will to men." No ad
monishing hand should be laid by me
on their little shoulders with the petri
fying announcement, so impossible for
young childhood to understand, "You
must not run—it is Sunday." "You
must not play—it is Sunday." "You
must not laugh—it is Sunday?'
flow can a little child, of four or five
years, keep from "laughing" because it
is Sunday ? how can he keep his little
busy, restless hands folded, while birds
are singing and leaves are dancing,
and the brooks are sparkling in the
sunlight, and earth is as fide as his own
sweet happy face.
Oh, don't make him hate Sunday by
this mistaken method of teaching him
to keep it holy. Don't begin so early
to make him a little hypocrite. You
will soon find in his pocket strings and
balls, and pins, and dead bugs, and
every other surreptitious contrivance
to relieve the horrid tedium of such a
"Sunday." Do you never, my good sir
or madam, get up later and go to bed
earlier on that day than any other?
Do you never sleep away its noonday
hours because your mind gets weary
with prolonged reading? Do you nev
er, under the disguise of a ride, or a
beautiful Sunday, think it best to go to
a more distant church than sour own
chosen one to hear preaching? Do you,
who exact of your restless child such
motionless propriety in those hours,
never stray off yourself to discuss warm
political questions, or vexed business
matters, with your next neighbor?
Look closely into these points before
settling your children's programme for
the Sabbath hours.
Should not the Sabbath bo "a de
light?" and is this the way to make it so?
Will there not wino to children so man
aged a terrible rebound of license and
lawlessness when they are out of lead
ing strings? / think so; and it is be
cause I think so, because I have so of
ten seen it, that I beg these well-moan
ing but mistaken parents to consider a
little if what I say may not be true.
Any thing seems to mo preferable to
this compulsory Sabbatism of young
childhood. Any thing better than hear
ing a little child so brought up say sor
rowfully, "oh, dear, it is Sunday again."
Oh, putdown that Scott's Commentary
you are already half asleep over, and
take that disgusted, Weary little child
by the hand, and walk out into the
fields with it, and show it God's won
derful workmanship in the varieties of
trees, leaves and flowers. Do you call
that "wicked ?" I tell you it is much
more wicked to make a sanctimonious
hypocrite of a little creature, whose
heart is so bursting with love and glee
that you might as well try to stop the
birds from singing till Monday as to
repress its utterance because "it is
'Sunday."
Sunday? why, on Sunday throw
open all the blinds instead of closing
them, as if joy lay coffined and shroud
ed within, as truly it often does with
these mistaken people. Sunday? why,
on every mantel and table lay bright
odorous flowers. Sunday? always have
something very nice for the little pal
ate to mark the day; prepared on Sat
urday it you choose, but have it. Sun
day ? why, give your children twdnty
kisses on that day over and above every
other day in the week. Look more
smilingon that day. Speak more cheer
fully. Devote yourself to happifying
your house and your children instead
of groaning over"Doddridge's Rise and
Progress," and calling yourself "a-mis
erablo sinner," as indeed you are Try
to mend matters, if you are sincere,
by active "piety" such as this. Lot
your children look back from a serene
old age upon happy—happy Sundays;
instead of feeling even at that late
day, when its light dawns upon them,
an impulse to escape its rigidity and
tedium. It is because I love the day
and its sweet calm' hours. that I ask
this. It is because I want' those chil
dren to havo this home anchor to keep
them from straying into We paths of
lawlessness and license in after years.
it is because God is love that .1 dread
' your teaching your children 10 run away
from him instead of into his open arms.
FANNY FERN.
A Laughing Deacon.
Beecher, in his now novel, thus do ,
lineates the character of a laughing
Deacon. Some genuine model doubt
less sits for the portrait :
"flow they over made a Deacon out
of Jerry Marble I never could imagine!
His was the kindest :heart that over
bubbled and run, over. Ho was tough,
elastic, incessantly. active,• and
,a pro
digious worker,, He. seemed not to
tire, but after. the longest day's toil he
sprang up tho moment he had done
with work, as if ho wore a fine steel
spring. A few hours sleep sufficed him,
and lie saw the morning stars the year
round ? .11is weezeneeface was leath
er color, ,but forever dimpling and
changing to keep 'some sort of congru
ity bet Ween itself and his eyes that
winked and blinked and split all over
with merry good nature. Ho always
seemed afflicted when obliged to keep
sober. He lied been known to laugh
in meeting on several occasions, al
though ho ran• his face between-his
handkerchief and coughed, as if that
was the matter, yet nobody believed it.
Once, on a hot summer day, he saw
Deacon Trowbridge—a sober and fat
man of groat sobriety—gradually as
cending from the bodily state into that
spiritual condition entitled sleep. Ho
was blameless of the act. lie had
struggled against the temptation with
the whole virtue of a deacon. Ho had
stirred himself up and fixed his eyes
on the minister with intense firmness,
only to have them grow gradually nar
rower and milder. If he held his head
up firmly, it would, with a sudden
lapse, lid( away over backward. If ho
loaned it a little forward; it would drop
suddenly on his bosom. At each nod,
recovering himself, ho would,nod again
with his eyes wide open to impress,
upon the boys that he did it on pur
pose at both times.
In what other painful events of life
has a good man so little sympathy as
when overcome with sleep in meeting
time? Against this insidious seduc
tion ho arrays every conceivable resis
tance. Ile stands up a while; hopinchos
himself or pricks himself with pins. Ho
looks up helplessly to the pulpit, as if
succor :night possibly come from thence.
He crosses his legs uncomfortably, and
attempts to recite catechism or the
multiplication table. He seizes a lan
guid fan, which treacherously leaves
him in a calm. He tries to reason, to
notice the phenomena. Oh, that one
could carry his pew to bed with him !
What tossing wakefulness ! what fiery
chase efter.somnolcncy ! In his law
ful bed a man cannot sleep, and in his
pew he cannot keep awake ! Happy
man who does not sleep in church !
Deacon Trowbridge was not that man.
Deacon Marble was !
Deacon Marble witnessed the con
flict we have sketched above, and when
good Mr. Trowbridge gave his next
j lurch, recovering himself with a snort,
and then drew out a rod handkerchief
and blew his nose .with a loud imita.
tion, as if to let the boys know that ho
had not been asleep, poor Deacon Mar
ble was brought to a sore strait. But
I have reason to think that he would
have weathered the stress if it had not
been for a sweet faced little boy in
front of the gallery.
The lad had boon innocently watch
ing the same scone, and at its climax
laughed out loud, with a frank and
musical explosion, and then suddenly
disappeared into his mother lap. That
laugh was just too much, and Deacon
Marble could no more help laughing
than could Deacon Trowbridge help
sleeping. Nor could he conceal it.
Though he coughed, and put up his
handkerchief and hemmed—it was a
laugh, deacon !—and every boy in the
house know it, and liked you better for
it—so inexperienced were they!
SLEEPING EQUALITY.-The Enter.
prise . (Miss.) Star tolls a good story of
Rev. Mr. Talley, of the Methodist
Church, who recently began in his pul
pit ministrations the doctrine of the
perfect equality of the negro and the
white man. As a result, ho was lion•
ized by the "darkeys." An old gentle
man of the white persuasion, rehiding
in the neighborhood where this inis•
sionary of equality was laboring, saw
proper to doubt Mr. Talley's sincerity,
and told a favorite boy—an old Limo
house and body servant, who had im
bibed great confidence in Mr. Talley
as a sincere confidence man—that ho
had as well keep his money, if lie in
tended to give Mr. Talley any, until
he could test his sincerity. A new idea
struck Jack. Mr. Talley was to stay
all night at Jack's master's. When he
retired to bed, Jack accompanied• the
reveremi gentleman to his room and
held him in long conversation on the
equality doctrine, until Mr. Talley was
fully committed to it, and thoroughly
sleepy, ho took off his coat ready for
bed; so did Jack. Boots came nett;
so did Jack's. Talley's pants off;
Jack's ditto. In jumped Mr. Talley
into bed, pulling the drollery of his
couch Itround-
"Look hero, Jack, what era you up
to ?" quoth Mr. Talley.
"Nuffin 'tall, sir. rso gain' to be
'dowu to' sorne4n, dot's all," replied
Jack.
"What's that you aro going to be
'down to' ?" saith his reverence.
Well I'so going to bed wid you,
dot's all dar is about it. I is jests gocd
as you is acording to de Lord's gospel
by you, and I is tired of sleeping wid
myself in the shuck pen. So I is gwine
to sleep wid you in toaster's bed," said
Jack.
Mr. Talley took a deliberate, indig
nant survey of Jack from bead to foot,
jumped out of bed, and irreverently

The Importance of Learning a Trade,
We do not intend, under this bead
ing, to speak of the iinportance. of be
coming an apprentice to any mechan
ical business, but of the importance of
learning—acquiring—a trade, of be
coming-a workman at the business
chosen. It is not enough that a young
man goes into a shop,and works for a
longer or a shorter period as a neo
phyte, but that he becomes master of
the' rudiments: of his business. The
country is filled with unfinished me
chanics, every trade is overburdened
with the miserable hange'rs on who,
professing a knowledge of a business,
bring it into disrepute by their incom
petency., : There is.no bond in this
country, by which a master can control
the time cif an apprentice - for a period
sufficient to remunerate the employer
for tho losses sustained-in the early
stages of the apprenticeship, or to give
the apprentice a proper knowledge of
his business. The apprentice is free
to leave his master and employment,
whenever, in his' opinton, he has col
lected scraps enough of superficial
knowledge to set up as an independ
ent worker. He becomes dissratisfied
with the character of his work or the
amount of compensation, and finding
other tPork and largo pay; he quits his
master's employment just when his
servicog have begun to be valuable,
thus committing a fraud upon his em
ployer and doing a great injury to him
self'.
In no case is the term required to
learn a trade too long. According to
the value and difficulties of the busi
ness, it varies from three to seven
years, and the most, faithful and obser
vant apprentice, after having filled his
full term of apprenticeship, finds he
has much to learn before he can hon
estly claim to be entirely and thorough
ly competent. For at least a few months
the apprentice is a constant source of
anxiety and expense. From want ex
perience, or from heedlessness, or dis
like to the particular job given him, ho
breaks tools and ruins work enough in
a week to cover all the profits of 'his
work for months. The employer bears
with this, patiently or impatiently as
the case may be, in the hope that dur
ing the last part of the novitiate's ap
prenticeship he may reap some return
from the profits of his work. Under
such circumstances it must be very
vexatious to have an apprentice leave
just when ho is becoming, in some
measure, useful. Yet it is a common
occurrence in this country. Apprenti-.
ces seem too often-to be devoid of con
science and wanting in the principles
of common honesty.
Nor is such conduct of any real, per
manent advantage to the apprentice.
Ho becomes the Bohemian of the
workshop, a waif driven hither and
thither, having a smattering of knowl
edge and yet understanding no ono
thing thoroughly. ILis services aro not
sought ; ho is only a "Sack-at-a-pinch,"
to be used merely to fill a space other
wise empty. Scores of such half-back
ed mechanics'ean bo picked up any
day ; they infest shops, torment em
ployers, and disgrace the business they
falsely profess to understand. They
are industrial vagrants, if such a term
is pormissable, to be shunned and des
pised by every honorable workman.
"Unstable as water, they cannot ex•
eel."
The ambition of the approntioo to bo
ranked among journeymen is a lauda
ble ono when properly directed, )ut it
can only be realized by an honest and
persistent sticking to his obvious and
plain duties. If ho ever expects to teach
ho must first be taught; if he desires
to direct ho should submit to direction.
What this country needs in the indus
trial arts is finished workmen. They
are scarce and always in demnd. A
competent and intelligent workmen is
seldom wanting a good job. When
business is slack the incompetents are
first discharged, while the valuable
workman is kept often at a serious pe
cuniary loss to his employer, simply
because it is difficult to fill his place.
These considerations have nothing
new in them, but because they aro so
triteand hackneyed they are not enough
considered by apprentices. We Earn
estly invite their attention to the sub
ject, believing it will be to their pres
ent and prospective advantage to deal
honestly in this as well as other re
spects.—Scientifie American.
trk_Women are more like flowers
than wo think. in their dress and ad
ornment they express their natures,
as the flowers do in their petals and
colors. Some women aro like the mod
est daisies and violets ; they never look
or feel better than when dressed in a
morning wrapper. Others aro not
themselves unless they can flame out
in gorgeous dress, nice the tulip or
blue rose. Who has not seen women
just like white lillios 7, We know sev
eral double marigolds and poppies.
There arc women fit only for velvets
like the dahlias, others are graceful
and airy like azleas. Now and then
you see hollyhocks and sun flowers.
When women aro free to dress as they
like, uncontrolled by others, and not
limited by their circumstances they do
. not fail to express their true character,
and dress becomes a form of expres
sion very generidly and usefully.
