supposed to be chilis and fuver, but which
baffled the skill of nurses uud physicians
for more than two years, at which lime
she fell into a nervous sleep, from which
she has not woke since for a longer lime
than twelve minutes. She usually sleeps
soundly from 11 o'clock at night mini
about ti in tho fuoriiing, and through the
day waktis about ncc an hour. Her wa

One of the str.injost points of ibis

A bush, in the sleep
torpor of self-contempt, considerably has
tens with his assagai to draw a veil over
the painful scene,
LATE HOURS.
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher preached
lately nn "Late Hours" And the "Un
fruitful Works of Darkness," end in the
course of his sermon said : "If you w ant
to make the ruin of a child give him lib
erty after dark. You cannot do anything
nearer to insure damnation than to leave
him at liberty to go where he will without
restraint. After dm k he will be sure to get
into rommuui aiion with people that will
undermine nil his good qua lilies. I do not
like to speak lo parents about their chil-dn-n.hut
there are thousand who think their
child cannot do wrong. Their child will
not lie, whi n his tongue is like a bended
bow ; he will not drink, when there is not
a saloon w ithin a mile of his father's honse
where he is not as well known as one of
its own decanters ; he never does iniqui
tous things, when he is reeking in filth.
Nineteen ont of every twenty allowed per
fect freedom st night will be wounded by
it.
"There is nothing more important than
for n child to be at home At night ; or, if
he is abroad, vou should be with him. If
Tie is to see any sights or take Any pleas
ure, there is nothing that he should see
(hat you should not see with him. I is
not merely that the child should be broken
down, hut there are thoughts that, never
ought to find u passage into a in id's brain.
As aii eel, if he wriggles acmes a carpet
will leave his slime, which' no brushing
tan ever efface, so there are thoughts thst
can never be got rid of, once permitted to
enter: end books And pictures imder the
lappets of their tu)AtAW-Jni Jc. tdess
iu the mind of your child thai cAn never
be effaced. There re men who heve
heard a salacious song, and they never be
effaced. There are men who have, heard
a salacious song, and thev never can for

It to tne enn oi tneir nvi. i uo mm u
licve in a child's seeing lives. I do not
believe in a child's seeing life, ns il is rail
ed, with its damnable lust and wickedness,
to have its imagination set on1 fire with the
flames of heH. Nobody goes through this
fire but they nre burned, burned, bnnted ;
aud they can never get rid of the scars."

of Harvey Avery, and eloped wanner

Tennessee. The woman is said to Have
hern a faithful owl devoted wife for about
Hftei'n fears; biA was inveighed liit a
deseition of her husband by the wiles of
Andeew. The pleasures of this new life
not proving ail the-woman had been told
they would be, she wrote to her injured
husbni!(l to come and take her buck to
his home again. This was done. But
the seducer soon followed, And a short
time after hi- return was caught by Avery
nnder circumstances which loi'iviiieerfthd
husband of the continued guilt ol his wife.
Doubly enraged by this discovery, Avery
rushed upon the parties wMr-a knife smd

intention tn kill, fled, bnt Caldwell Stood
