Moreover as little cliil- dren would be unable to help themselves and would need hired nurses, it would cost too much to recieve thorn. Gladly would we ^ establish such a house, appropri ately arranged as a kindergarten, IF we had the money. Children over thirteen are not received,be cause it is supposed that number less private taniilies would be open to them, if they were deser ving. Cripples, Imbeciles, Dis eased children are not accepted, because they are subjects, not for school, hut for a hospital. They need constant and expensive e. re and attendance. No charity could be nobler than a children’s Hospital, in the country under efficient medical and nurses’ care ; but that big IF! Give usj$50,000 and you shall have the hospital. Vile or vicious children are not received because; they need the control of a Ileformatoiy Institu tion, under police law, and the direction of the state. It would be a crime against the virtuous and honorable children of the Or phanage to introduce youthful criminals among them. Helpless orphans, whose moral character is good and with an or dinary amount ot intellect are re ceived. There are hundreds of such, deserving of the sympathy and aid of the charitable, far more than our means and accom modation will allow us to receive. In this way, the most good can be done with the least money’.— Our Monthly. A Christian mother was once showing her little girl, about five years old, a picture representing Jesus holding an infant in his arms, while the mothers were pushing their children toward him. ‘There, Carrie,” said her moth- “this is what I would have done with v’ou it I had been there.” ‘Iwould’nt be pushed to Je sus,” said little Carrie, with beau tiful and touching earnestness; I’d go to him without pushing.’' —Guide to Holiness. EAKEY RISING. The celebrated Dr, Doddridge mentions, in his “Family’ Expos itor,” that to his habit of early ris ing the world is indebted tor nearly the whole of his valuable wo rks. Sir Thomas Moore remarks, in his preface to “Utopia,” that he completed the work by’ stealing time from his sleep and meals. He made it his invariable prac tioe to rise at four. The well-known Bishop Burnet was an habitual early riser. When at college his father aroused him to his studies every morning at four o’clock, and continued the practice during the remainder of his life. “I spent,” says Dr. Paley, when givina' an account of the early part of his life at college, “the first WHO MAY BE ADMITTED. Many who are unacquainted with the history of the Thornwell Orphanage are surprised because such and such children are re fused. Infants and children un der five years are for the present declined, because the present es tablishment is a school and it would be a waste of moans and two years of my undergraduate ship happily, but unprofitabh’, I was constantly in society, wher we were not immoral, but idle and expensive. At the commence ment of the third year, after hav- ino- left the usual party’ at a late ho'iir,! was awakened at five in the morning by one of my compan ions, who stood at my bedside, and said, ‘Paley, I have been thinking what a fool you are. ^ could do nothing, probably, if were to try; and I could afford the indolent life you lead. You could do everything, and cannot afford it. I have had no sleep during the whole night on account of these reflections, and am now come solemnly to inform you that if you persist in your indolence, I must renounce your society’.’ I was so struck with the visit and the visitor that I lay in bed a great part of the day, and formed my plan. I ordered my bed-maker to lay my’ fire every evening, in order that it might be lighted by myself. I arose at five, read during the whole day’, took sup per at nine, went to bed, and con tinued the practice up to this hour. The consequence was he became a great man.—Selected. —A friend asks why we do not liave anything to say about the Fiiropean ar ? This can be be.st explained, in’obably, by a tale told of a printer ho, when about to close the forms of daily, asked the editor through the siieaking tube for copy of about ten lines. Tlie editor not knowing what give tile iirinter, told liiiu to set up that “Joliii Smith liad had a great misfortune. His valuable house, store, barn, and in fact everything except his and, was entirely destroyed by lire;” The printer set it up, and soon discov- -ed that it was not quite enough to till the space, and asked again for copy.” The editor asked if he had set up wliat lie had just given him ? The printer replied in tlie affirmative. The editor then told him to set up a contradiction of the first statement that the space might be filled! All the information we have been enabled to get of the European war is about of the above nature. Hence we hai'c concluded to remain quiet on a lubject of which we know uothiug.— Murfreesboro Unqtdrer. GOING 'TO JESUS.
