THE CHILDREN'S PRAYER.
"Of such is,the Kingdom of Heavbs."
Three white-clad forms beside the bed,
With little hands upheld,
When all their toys are'laid away,
And the noise of day is quelled ;-
Acid mothers hear them each repeat,
Witt voices earnest low and sweet,
The simple prayer
She teaches there ;
"Gentle Jesus, meek and mild,
Look upon a little child."
Fond kisses and "good-nights" from all
As rosy cheeks are laid
On snowy pillows„ then, calm sleep
Till dreamy night shall fade.
Good angels bead-above each face
That silent lies in smiling glace
Though toil and care
Our lives must share
"tienite Jesup, - meek And mild;
Look upon a little child."
Oh; loved and sinless little ones,
When years have led you on,
And she who lingers ,o'er you now
To her reward has gone ;
When the i toywof lire are laid away,
And evening comes, still may you pray,
With faithful 'hearts,"
As life departs
"Untie Jesus, meek and mild,
Look upon a little child!"
Theory of "Gossip."
We are often asked, " What is goo..
sip ?" We answer, in a general way,
that it is talking of persons rather than
things. Nothing shows the paucity_ - of
ideas more than this talking about . the
affairs of your neighbors. It is not only
malicious people who originate scandal,
it is narrow-minded people, ignorant
people, stupid people. Persons of cu . ..
tore and intelligence are'not so hard run
for topics of conversation. Th eycan
. •
usually God so mething to say about art,
literature, fashion or society. The mo
ment people begin to talk of their neigh
bors—of persons rather than -tilings—
they are apt to degenerate into scandal;
for ,where one speaks of 'the virtues of
an acquaintance, a dozen expatiate on
his or her shortcomings. And this
brings us to speak of real culture, or
what we consider to be such, at least.
A cultivated person, in the highest
sense of the term, is not merely one who
can talk of books, pictures, and other
elevated subjects of human interest.
To be thoroughly cultivated, the heart,
as well as the intellect, should be refin
ed and enlarged. Sometimes we see
women who, without education, yet-hav
ing been beim amiable, are never guilty
of gossip. Again, we see women, not
naturally amiable, whom education has
taught to , talk of things, not of persons.
The perfect woman, in this' respect., is
one who is both amiable and educated.
But educition does not Always elevate
people above the regions of gossip. A
really bad heart is always malicious.
The best advice.we can give is the
homely old adage : "Mind your own
business." Very few of us ever know
the whole truth about anything concern
ing a neighbor; and to speak of his or
her conduct is usually to run the risk of
being unjust. Much less should we
talk of the motives of others. 'Very few
of us know• our own motives, tied to
venture on discussing a neighbor's mo
, tives is always impertinence, and often
a real crime.

A Birth in the Family
It is straflge how, while one 419 , = is
passing out of,this world, another en -is,
all unconscious of the strange - seen f
confusion which, it is to witness, of the ,
hand•to hand struggles in which it kt, to
be engaged. For some. time varikils
preparations and signs - have give token
.of an expected event---a pair of dark
bright eyes. have grown soft and thought
ful, crochet and brilliant colored double
zephyr liave been thrown aside for tiny
strips of cambric, fine soft ftanneli and
white silk floss, the last of which the
delicate bands weave into charming imi
tations, of leaves and flowers. Very re
cently a small dainty bed' enveloped in
the fleecy folds of a transparent canopy,
which only half conceals marvelous, frills .
and a perfectly miraculous qailt, , (the
work of Aunt Deborah, whe once took a
prize at the State fair fdr the handeem
est, coverlid on exhibitiml,) has taken
its place, timidly, at the foot of the im
posing mahogany, evidently waiting for
an occupant. - This very morning it, has
and one—a tiny, rosy morsel, 89 done
n , in soft warm wrappings that. one can
but just get a glimpse of a little red
nose, and the twinkle of something like
eyes: Everybody says, lowever, that it
is beautiful baby," and the delighted
papa astonishes a small boy Who has
rung the front tteor bell for cold victpals
by giving him a quarter, instead of a cuff,
as usual. The dark eyes which but late
ly flashed so mischievously are now Clos
ed wearily, curtained by long !fishes,
which lay still on the white- cheeks.
Friends have congratulated ; the proud
father is full of tenderness and devotion; .
cherished hopes are realized Yet at
intervals a tear forces its way down
through the tightened"eyelids, *mpg
that one heart at least can baldly 'yet
recognize its joy. Who shall fathom
the dacktb:of.a.yoting mettetiertholtglk
as she holds, for the first time, the-child
she has borne, to her breast.? Who
shall tell the profound emotion with
which she dimly seas in her anticipated
toy, and plaything, a human soul, a fu
ture man, -whose 'strong will lid fiery
nature it is hers to mould for good or
ill. Now, for the first time she feels
that she has become a woman ; that with
the woman's crown she has received a
woman's cross, which •she is henceforth
to bear with enduring love and faith un-.
to the end. Now- prays she with the,
youthful fervor of , her heart, though its
may be perchance for the - first time, for
with the birth of her child a new element,
has entered her heart, a new spirit bas
been born unto God.
FEMALE SOCIETY.—We indorse every
word John Randolph says about ladies'
society. Read what he says, young
man, and act accordingly:
"You know my opinion of 'female so
ciety. Without it we should degener
ate-into brutes. This observation ap
plies with tenfold force to young men
and.those who are in the prima of man
hood. 'For, after a certain time in life,
the literary man makes a shift ( a poor
one, I grant,) to do without the society
of ladies. To a young man nothing is
so important as a spirit of devotion
(next to his Creator) to some amiable
woman, whose image may occupy his
heart, and.guard itirom pollution, which
besets it on all sides. A man 'ought to
choose a wife as Mrs. Primrose did her
wedding gown, for qualities that "wear
well." One thing at leaskiktrue—that
if matrimony has its cares, celibacy has
no pleasures. A Newton, or 'a more
eminent scholar, may find enjoiment in
mere study ; a man of literary taste can
receive in books a powerful auxiliary,
but a man must have a boaom friend,
and children . around him, to cherish and
support the drearinesi of age."
ir A little girl four years old, was_
on her way home;from church with her
father, when they passed a boy splitting
wood, and the father reniarked,, " Mary,

walked home very :thoughtfully, .and
meeting her mother esclaimed,

marauders on the road, and, after gett
ing fairly under way, the - passengers,
catching the spirit of the lovely morn,
addressed themselves to the task of
making time pass - off pleasantly. It was
not long ere all, who were disposed,
-were enjoying themselves in some way.
On one of the seats in the ladies' car was
a married lady_ with a little daughter;
opposite, facing them, was another child
a eon, and a colored " lady'"-we believe
they are all " ladies " now—with a baby.
The mother of these children was a
beautitul matron, with sparkling eyes,
in exuberant health, and vivacious spirits.
Behind her sat a young lieutenant, dress
ed to kill, and seeking a victim. He
scraped ap an acquaintance . with the
mother by attentions to the children.
It was not long . before he 'wee essaying

no wrong, suspecting_ no evil, was ap

and qrhlspered something in the lady's

:bowels—into the tunnel—ran the cars.
Lady and colored nurse quickly changed

on her lips. In a few moments the

Hard' of Hearing
A LOVE STORY.
A, young Jonathap once courted the
dmihter of an old man that lived down
East who professed to be deficient in
hearing—but, forsooth, was, more capa
ciousthan limited in hearing, as the se
quel tend to, show.
It was a stormy night in the ides of
March, if I mistake not, when lightning
met lightning-and lona peals of thunder
answered thunder, that Jonathan , eat by
the old man's fireside discussing with the
old lady (his intended mother-in Jaw) the
expediency of asking the old man's pet
mission to marry. Sally. Jonathan re
solved to pop it to the old man on the
peat day—"but," says be, ':as I think of
the task my heart shrinks and my reso
lbtion weakens—he's do dazig'd bard to
hear. a body."
In.the meantime the Old man, who
was hypocritical, so. far as bearing was
concerned, feigned total .ind!fferende to
the - conversation between his wife and
Jonathan, bat, contrary to the anticipa
tion of both, he distinctly heard' every
word-that. passed, and by' the 'dawn of
another day the old Man wad to be found'
in his barn lot-feeding his 'pigs. Jona
than also arose early' from bed in the
morning and spied the old man feeding
his pigs,and resolved I to ask him for

Scarcely 'a minute bad elapied after
Jonathan had made his last resolution,
ere be bid the' old[lnlin good _morning.
Now Jonathan's heart heal—no - 1 .he
'scratched his hbad and birth to a
pensive yawn. Jonathan declared. that
he'd as soon take thirty-nine "stripes"
as to ask the old man. "But,',' says . he
aloud to himself, ".here goes—faint heaq

old man thus:

By this time the old woman7came out,
and having observed his unfortunate

BONNICH'S STABLKS.: —A New York
correspondent of the Boston Journal,
thus speaks of. New York Ledger B.m.
ner's stables . : " I had the pleasure the
other day of visiting. Mr. Bonner's .sta
bles at his country seat in Mosisiena,
and seeing his wondesfal stud of horses.
His stables are worthy a v,isit se they
exhibit all the,modern improvements in
the training, grooming and feeding of
berries. They are not allowed to , eat
except at regular hours of the day, and
then'they• are fed with all the, enters
which pertains to a well ordered family.
The horses are kept muzzled daring the
hours when not feeding, and thus can
only be kept in 'condition.' The three
horses that he beset his Morisiana es.
tate, are Lantern, Lady , Palmer and
.Peerless. Lantern is a large bay horse,
and is one of the fastest , trotting horses
to-the pole in the country. Lads Pal.
Mar is very fleet, but Peerless, an iron
clay Mare, is the wonder-of the age.
She has made the fastest time in 'a wag
on of any horse in the .world, having
made a mile in 2:231. On the breaking
out. of the war, she was owned by a bank
er in Baltimore. ,Suppo%ing that the
ordnance of secession would ,bq passed
by the Legislature of Maryland, and that
everything would go to smash, Peerless
was sold. Mr. Bonner paid for her
-$5,500 in gold. Be hoe refused $65,000
for this horse.. luel . been requested
to naffie hie price above this 'figure.
Mr. Bonner hawbut one atiswer, and
r.bafisithat Peerless is not for sale. It
is something to own the fastest horse in
