Christian gentleman of wealth and high

given to good works. Although fleet's-

knew but little of their sufferings, as she
seldom went with her mother to visit

stories told at their door. Indeed she
had sometimes Wished that her mother
was inure like Maggie's, caring less for
worldly display.
' Dow lonesome dreary, the old factory

but they shall have it if they need it.'
' Come with me, of course,' said Mr.
Butter, affected by their earnest sympa

lesson you` ill learn to night.'
The twolittle girls followed him eling
ing close to his side as they passed the
wretched houses from which haggard
faces peered curiously at them, Children
were running bare footed over the cold
pavements, and babies were crying pite
ously in rooms where there was a little
light and no fire.'
Nearly 'all of these people used to
work in the flictory,' Said Mr. B 'tier.—
' Now they are out of mid , yownt,

Ascending a steep, rickety staircase,
they reached the abode of the poor wom

by a ragged little girl, who as soon as she
saw the rector, began crying .aloud, and
repeated over and over that the baby was

dimly lighted room.
A thin, pale woman sat before a fire

arms. She was not weeping ; neither
did she speak or raise her eyes at their

CARLISLE, PA., FRIDAT, - Ku 2 - 5 - , 1862.
Our Jimmy
you ought to see our little Jinimy,
with his broad browti eyes, like frighten,
ed birds—his kin sun-tanned limbs ; his
big brow, and his delicately-moulded.ehin
flecked with its deep dimple. He is ii . ery
near being a baby, but he isn't the hilby,
not quite—for Jimmy has a little sister
who claims that title, and has .a rat to,
for only a few busy months instead of
years have lighted, in turn, on her fla;ssy
head.
Jimmy loves this little soft,
,bloi'tde
sister of his very much, and wonders
when he looks at her, and is very protec
tive of her indeed, so that he runs,'as
fast as ever his feet will carry, him when
he bears her crying, suspecting some
slight or abuse, or some damage iri' the
way of accident to the small tottlingk,rure
that upsets so easily on the carpet.
Ito loves to hold her white littla,A4s
in his own, made browner by contrast,
and notices with his great shy eyes the
look they have, as though a bright train
of raindrops had pattered along them,
leaving pretty dents-where the knuckleS
ought to be,
What a baby it is to p'ay with its own
little feet, sruc't out of its short dress, and
which it mut,t, strain and pant to reach!
What a baby it is to put things into its
mouth, and to lose tharshbilld
held in its little fingers, and to fall over
sideways like a great, dull, with a heavy
head, when it should sit up straight, and
womanly to watch Jiminey

witness her crowings and boundings, and ,
her rapturous approval of Tom in his po

It is exciting for .Jimmy to fancy the

rider, and then to lash them into rapid
pace by swinging the door violently to

small, hoarse voice The expression ou
poor Tow's tnnt , 3 face during this drive
and hard canter baffles description
and the attitude of his limp legs in their
brown p.intaloons, with broad bate stripes,

entirely overcome by it, and half bur§ts
with frolic.

If ever a dog was made and meant for
bahies to play with, this one was.
Slinking along, mock and subdued, nn
der the velvety hands that helplessly
stretch mgt upon him, crawling to nestle
his silky, quiet head on the baby's little
'mites of feet—looking up at her with
droll but loving dark eyes, or going near
enough to lick the soft cheeltnever
making a hostile or a boastful show of
teeth in her presence—allowing her to
pull his ears and tail, arid to take up
handsful of the long, plummy hair that
falls over hint to saddle him si silkily and
lustrously—the dog was just thing for
her, and she evidently thought so.
But Jimmy frequently imposes on the
' dog's meekness and submissiveness and
kindness, and shows an actual cruelty of
disposition.
The other day, throwing a careless
glance into the nursery, I espied a silky,
shithinerimr mass in rue corner of the
room, which I separated into Jimmy and
the dog at play there.
Jimmy's curly hair was all frowsed up
on his temples and hot cheeks, .his black
eyebrows were drawn, with a childish
fierceness, into one long, scowling line,
and while holding the silky coated black
dog, down with one cruel hand, he held
up in the other a large pair of gloaming
scissors. With such careful stealthiness
and steadiness did he gather the dog's
tail in his small lingers, and approach the
shining, quivering twin-knives to their
work, that I had scarcely time to scream
and save the meek dog from any such
sacrifice as the end of his tail would have
been; for I know he would have made it,
to further Jimmy's happiuesi. Such a
glance as his wide brown eyes slanted at me,
as I checked this fierce pantomime, such
a disappointment as gathered'on the little

Naughty Jimmy!
A PUFF.-A manufacturer and dealer
in quack medicines recently wrote to a
friend for a strong recommendation for
his (the manufacturer's) 'Balsam.' In a
few days he received the following, which
we call pretty strong: 'Dear :—The
land composing the farm has hitherto
been so poor that a Scotchman could not
g,et'a living off it, and so stony that we
had to slice our potatoes and plant them
edgewise; but hearing of your balsam I
put some in a corner of a ten acre field,
surrounded by a rail fence, and in the
morning T found - that the rock had en-
tirely disappeared, a neat stone wall en
circled the field, and the rails were Split
into firewood, and piled up symmetrically
in toy back yard. I put half an ounce in
the middle 'of a huckleberry swamp; in
two days it was cleared off, planted with,
corn and pumpkins, and a roiv oflcach
trees in full blossom through them:noddle.
I freely testify to all this to oblige you,
and such of the public as May have leis
ure to buy a vial of your universal balsam
and experiment for themselves.

but because our doors and winrinws , :arn
shut to them, they sit and sing':'l4hile

raindrops, to-full upon a man's heaii k i the
head itself having nothing-to do with the
matter.
Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep
" Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
If I should dlo before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take."
'Who are you, man or woman, for whom
this prayer has not old, sweet associations;
who, hearing its words, hear not too, the
"memory bells" ringing up from the
golden plains of your' childhood, and feel
not the soft gales from the morning land
of your life sweeping over your soul ?
You may be a man now, in the pride
and strength of your glory; you may
have carved out for yoltself an honorable
name and destiny in this world—may
hap you ure the owner of broad lands and
proud homes, and your heart has grown
hard in its battle with the world.
But stop a moment, and listen to
this little verse—so simple that the
merest babe who learns to lisp the words
can comprehend them, and so sublime in
its grand significance and faith, that the
wisest shall only have 'learned fully the
true lessons of life when the soul utters
them as it did in its infancy.
• Let us see, how many years ago was it ?
twenty, thirty ; no matter, at the old
sound of massive doors, and you go down
through them to the old red one-story
house where your life first took its morn
ing. You see the little window on the
right siderelose - under the rafters; ah
you slept a sound slumber, and dreamed
sweeter dreams in that old garret than
you ever did in your lofty chambers, with
the gilded ceiling and snowy draperies,
and what matters - if your bed was a straw
one and your coverlid • made of red and
yellow patches .of calico ; yqu never

"Now I lay me " How softly sleep
would come and weigh down your eye
lids, as you repeated the words after her;
ah ! yout,may hear her very tones now
stealing across your heart, though if is so
many years since death silenced them ;
you feel her soft touch on your pil•
low, and the tender lingerings of her
kiss upon your lips—this memory of your
mother is more than you can bear. If
she had only lived, you would
_not be
what you are now ;, but, thanks be to
God, she left you something holy ntd
beyond all penning; something t' - at
cannot grow old and dim, not even in the
"unspeakable brightness" beyond the
shining gates—the memory of a loving,
praying Christian mother.

your pillow, never thilik4g of the shin

But come back, we beseech you, to the
old prayer of your childhood. You can
not have outgrown that—no matter if
your hair is frosted with the sroiw of
life's Weember, and if your years are
three-score And ten. Kneel down by
your bed side, and uttering these words,
see if something of the old grace and•
faith of your childhood does not come
back to you ; it something of it - i dew

And - remember, that sooner or later,
you must "lie down to sleep," when this
prayer will be all that your soul ean make

Swallowing a Christian in a Mena-

A friend has a little girl who, we are
afraid, 141 make a strong-minded woman
one of these days, so powerful already is
the developments of her reasoning facul
ties. Ever since Van Amburgh's, bills
have been put up she has been in a fever of
excitement on the subject of natural his•
tory, and anything relating to wild animals
would command her immediate attention
At a neighbors, the other day, -she was
shown a print representing the early
Christians being torn by wild beasts in the
amphitheatre of Rome. The picture with
the explanatiotis which were given her
made a profound impression upon her mind,
as will be seen by what follows Yester
day she was taken to the menagerie,
where she surveyed the collection with
infinite delight, until it came to that por
tion of the performance where the man
entered the den of lions and tigers, when
she became very sober and reflective,
Upon returning home the following dia
logue took place between the young lady
and her grandmother.
'Wei) Fanny, what did you see at the
unwerie ?'
'Oh, I saw cews%ngs, Grandina. I saw
two great (Owe (the elephants) as big as
houses and with the longest horns and

' into the cage with the animals, and the
lions and tigers began to jump on him,
and one of the lions got his head in his
mouth, and I shut my eyes just as tight
as I could till the music stopped playing,
and wlrm opened them again (drawing
long breath) the poor "tristian" was!
AN ARAB WEDDING.
BY AN EYE WITNESS
A few days afterwards, I was invited to a
wedding in the Sakhali family, Christian
Arabs to the Orthodox Greek emnlDUnity..
At about eight o'clock A. M . , I Was led
into their chureh, a domed building, lighted
from a .ove, and gaudy with highly•colored,

In the centre of the crowd at a lecture,
stood a priest. and immediately before him
the bride, closely shrouded in a white inar ;
a many colored muslin veil entirely conceal
ed her features.
The bridegroom by her side, who was on
y seventeen, wore a suit of sky blue cloth,
edges with gold thread, and a handsome
crimson and white sh iwl girdle. He had
only once seen the face of the bride, and that
was six mouths before, on the day of the be
trothal.
The service was in Arabic, and rapidly
uttered in clear but monotonous tones The
most important part of it seemed to be the
Gospel narrative of the marriage at Cana in
Galilee While the priest was reading it,.
bread and wine was handed to the young'
man; he gave soma to the girl,'Who, in tak
ing it, was very careful not to exp. ,. se her
face.
Immediately afterwards, she held out one
of her henna Stained hands, and a jeweled
ring was placed on her finger. Two crowns,
made of gilt toil, were brought by the bride
grooms nun and bride's woman, and placed
on the now married pair, who joined hands,
and with their two attendants walked round
in the midst, of the people, who made way
fur them, and sprinkled them with rose water
and other scents as they passed, singing,
and shouting good wishes. By the time the
c rcuit fluid been made seven times, the
veils of the bride and bride's woman were l
quite saturated ; and two men submitted,
without the, slightest resistance, to have but
ties of scent emptied on their tarbouches.—
As the excitement ineKased, the sprinkling
became general, and I come in for my share.
Thus ended the ceremony.
Presently , the men formed into proces
sion, and with the bride groom in their
midst, walked out of church. A pipe.bear
er, carrying a handsome chibo no, was in
attendance, and he handed it to the bride
groom whenever the leaders paused to dance
the sword-dance, or to ding some extrava
gant love song. Rose water was poured on
his head from the 'roofs or windows of the
houses under which he pn / ssed, Etiquette

There are women who make the beautifying

COMNi ON SCHOOL LAW SUPPLICNI
The supplement to the School Leto, passed
at the last session of the Luis attire, is pub—
lished in full in the School Journal tbr April.
This ‘supplement is 'it considerable impor
lance, though it makes very yew essential
changes. '
"It discontinues, by express law, all Sat
urday teaching. It makes the school month s ,
twenty two days, of which twenty are to be
spent in teaching, and two positively,
two Saturdays, in the month, in exercises of
Institutes for the improvement of the teach"
ers of the district. It provides that each of
the following items of the business of Direc
tors, •hall be determined only by the affirm
ative votes of a majority of the whole Board
and not by a majority of a quorum, as was
the case heretofore, except in levying tax,
viz: evyity tat., the purchase and stle of
any school real estate, or changing the loca
tion of any school house; the appointing
and dismissing of teachers: the determining
of the annual school term : selecting text
hooks and determining the general course
of study. It provides, further that iu all
such cases the names of the Directorsvotin,g;
both in the affirmative and negative, shall he
entered upon the minutes."
The Act was approved and went into
effect on the 11th or April, 1862.
ISTERRATING TO PARENTS.—A. correspon.
dent of the Chicago Tribune calls the ab
tention of parents to the Prevailing prac
tire of causing children to ride backward in,
their carriages, as . a manner of locomotion
attended with very injurious consequences.
It is said that those physicians who have
examined into the matter are of the opinion.
that disease of the brain may, ia a great
number of cases, be traced to this practice
alone, and' that many suffer in after life
from the effects of ail:id - I - tanner of riding. • If
this be true, it is certainly a duty to give the
thoughtless a word of caution, the health
and comfort of children being a subject of
vital importance to parents.'
This practice is quite common in our
street, and for the good of the rising genera
tion we call attention to it.
