The Lima Sink.
When roving through the forest wild,
With gentle breeze and air 80 mild,
I caught a low and murmuring round;
A stream of wat. r we had found,
Not knowing what we still pursued,
Till a m ignolia we had viewed,
Near that the noble Cascade tell.
The lime sink I surveyed with fear,
Birds, with sweet notes, were warbliug there.
The whooping-crane and viotethlne.
With birds and flowers of every hue:
The hunter’s horn sounds near the fall,
The dog?, they trail through trees so tall,
The deer have now no hiding place—
The e-un, ere long, will end their race.
Oh 1 may the hardy woodman spare
i The Ir.es around the Cascade here,

. PARENT.
HOW 'MUCH DO THEY GET ?—BY THE REV.
A. A. E. TAYLOR, D. I).
With till 'lie attention given to the
public religious instruction of our
youth, it is vet a fair question: How
much religious instruction do they
actually get ?
Take the children of an average
Christian household. The father leaves
the home at morn with “ten minutes
for pr,avers hefoi'e the tram,” or be
fore the time for the store, the office
or the plow. If he return at noon,
what time can he get for or from the
children ? In the evening he comes
home weary; and so do they. He
needs rest, which lie seeks in the book
or newspaper; the* 7 need recreation,
which they seek where he will not be
disturbed. After supper he has his
engagements; and, if not, they have
their lessons, and soon it is time for
si ep.
Meanwhile, what time has mother
had to give 'limu religious instruc
tion? Site must lmrrv in the morn
ing to prepare them for school, and
Ito regulate the home. At the noon
recess she must see to the culinary
and other duties, and to getting the
children off again. Until the night
..sets in what hour may she find ? And
after night wlm'\ opportunities does
she discover, between lessons and
manifold e ening duties?
-■ the week glides on until Satur
day, preoccupied for both punnts
■tUb 1 children. We speak of things as
not as tney should be. There
, < V nrday for father; and it is
,st day. It is the chij
spair *,/v too, and if Saturday
tile lifty its lessons, it has other
/<b'jf>ortai;t duties. Thus all
p]iff,’ ;f<>us Zioine conference is thrust
upon the shoulders of the first day of
the week.
W .ere do the young get solid re
ligious culture out of that day? In
(tie morning, mother and children are
busy preparing for early Sabbath
School, or for church probably after
a later rising than on the week-day.
It is the father’s day of rest, and if
the family might be gathered, he is
scaria ly prepared to give thorough in
struction at this time. Then comes
church, but where are the childr.-n?
They have been to the “children’s
church; or, if they be present, p<i
baps but little instruction is given to
the young. It is the same at the
evening service, with the average dis
course, if the yon i h are rot detained
at home, or have not retired early.
In the afternoon m< ther has the
care of the family, in the customary
absence of the “help;’’ and with the
weariness of the crowded day upon
her, (for the day’s of lunch and cold
and nners have passed,) what strength
has she to give them ? Father is ab
sent at mission school or this is only
time for his own sonl-culture, or he is
helping mother. Perhaps the chil
dren nre attending the second Sab
bath school. Moreover, there should
he some time for rest from labor for
young and ol 1 if the spirit of the
fourth commandment be observed.
Thus the custom lots arisen of giv
ing over the religions instruction of
the young, in chief part, to the Sab
bath schools. It is then important to
inquire how much they get in these
schools.
The average time for the session is
an hour and a half; and there may be
two sessions. Half this time is given
up to the library and the opening and
closing services, in which there is
some imperfect religious culture. Sup
pose there are three quarters of an
hour given to the Bible lessons. Many
of.,the teachers are young and inex
perienced, yet the printed lessou pa
pers, and the teachers’ meetings, may
have increased their efficiency. But
still, fully one-half the teachers are
poorly adapted to the work. If they
do their best, their want of apprecia
tion of the nature of youth, or of the
nature of teaching, renders theirs far
inferior to parental instruction. But
even if well done, what are these for
ty-five minutes, or in case of two ses
sions, ninety minutes, among the
many minutes of the week, with so
many hours of secular instruction
crowding into their busy minds ?
How much do the children get? How
will what they get compete with the
intellectual food they gather in du
ring the seven days? To urge the
necessity of additional home-culture
were to venture on a hacknied theme.
To decry the Sabbath school were in
vain and foolish. It is the best un
der the circumstances that can be got;
and is steadily improving. But after
all, the sober question, “How much
religions culture do they get ?” stares
us in the face and demands earnest
attention.
A Word, Mothers.
Each mother is a historian. She
writes not the history of empires or
of nati ms on paper, but she writes
her own history on the unperishable
mind of herchild. That, tablet and
that history will remain indellible
when time shall be no more. Tiiat
history each mother will meet again,
and read with eternal joy or unutter
able woe in the far ages of the eterni
ty. Tins thought would weigh on
the mind of every mother, and render
her deeply circumspect and prayerful,
and faithful, in her solemn work of
training up her children for heaven
and immortality. The minds of chil
dren are very susceptible and easily
impressed. A word, a look, a frown
may engrave an impression on the
mind of a child which no lapse of
time can efface or wash out. You
walk along the seashore when the
tide is out, and you form characters,
or write words or names in the smooth
white sand which lies spread out so
clear and beautiful at vour feet, ac
cording as your fancy may dictate,
but the running tide shall in a few
hours wash out and efface forever all
that you have written. Not so the
lines and characters of truth, or error
which your con iuct imprints on the
minds of your child. There you write
impressions for the eternal good or
ill of your child, which neither the
floods nor storms of earth can wash
out, nor death’s cold Anger can erase,
nor the slow moving ages of eternity
obliterate. How careful, then, should
e'ch mother be of herself in her treat
ment of her child. How prayerful,
ami how serious, and how earnest to
write truths of God on his mind
those truths which shall be his guide
and teacher when her voice shall be
silent in death, and her lips no longer
move in prayer in his behalf, in com
mending her dear child to her cove
nant God.
Dari rig the prevalence of cliol
ei a, the Roman authorities punched
and fumigated all letters from sus
pected places, but one of the clerical
town councilors complained of their
inconsistency, for while they were so
(articular about letters, they allowed
telegrams to come in without fumiga
tion. Noticing an incredulous smile,
as he supposed, on the faces of some
of Ins audience, he drew several tele
grams from his pocket, and threw
them on the council-table, saying,
“Gentlemen, you seem to doubt it,
there, then, is the evidence.”
JSfcg“‘Wh it do you do with so much?’
said a gentleman at the South End,
the other evening, to a beggar-boy,
who had a basketful of provisions,
and was soliciting more. “Mother,
got three new boarders last ni lit, and
two other fellers left without paying
her anything.”

The Number op Type in a Newspa
per.---The Poughkeepsie Eagle, in an
article on how “mistakes happen in
newspapers,” figures up the number
of types used in a newspaper the size
of the Eagle at 600.000, i. e. the actual
number of bits of metal arranged and
re-arranged every' day in preparing a
newspaper of that size for the press.
We suppose few people think of the
printing trade as one of the most ex
act and particular of all the handi
crafts, but it is. Iu mining type, va
riations that might bo allowed in the
finest machinery would render the
type useless. It is very rarely that
type furnished by two successive
foundries can be used together with
out a great deal of trouble, though
they’ try to make it after the same
standard. We read once in a while
of a won erf ul piece of cabinet work or
mosaic work, containing ten, twenty,
or fifty thousand pieces, the maker
of which has spent months, or even
years of labor in producing it, and
people go to see it as a great curiosi
iy, but the most elaborate and care
fully fitted piece of work of this kind
ever made does not compare with
that which the printer does every
day, for minuteness of detail and ac
curacy of fitting. The man who does
the first is looked upon as an artist—
a marvel of skill, and if a hundred of
his pieces are put in wrong side up or
turned the wrong way, it is not ob
served in the general effect—but if
the printer, ,iu fitting ten times as
many pieces together iu one day, puts
one where another should be, or turns
one the wrong way, everybody sees it,
and is amazed at “the stupid careless
ness of those printers.”
A New Orleans Romance.— Every
day at one ot the recorder’s courts in
New Orleans is to be found an elderly
lady neatly, even elegantly dressed,ap
parently watching with intense inter
est each trial as it is called, and when
the court has adjourned quietly mov
ing away with the crowd. She has
a piinfirl and singular history.
Childless and alone in the world, she
was once the centre of a happy family
circle; but a scries of misfortunes
came aud left her hopeless and aim
less. The epidemic of 1855 deprived
her of her husband and two children.
Of her remaining sons one was killed
in die army, and the other, about a
year since, was arrrigned before this
same court for murder. Before this
awful shock the mother’s reason had
reeled and left her a harmless maniac.
Since then she each day imagines her
sou on trial and watches there for his
coming. Day atfsr day she prose
cutes in the court room her tireless
watch. Disappointment never effects
her, for she thinks she will see him
to-morrow. Those who have charge
of her gratify the harmless delusion,
and thus morning and evening she is
found at her post, influenced by an
affection that defies her flight and
wreck of reason.
To Mothers.
One-third of the children born, die
before they are two years old; three
fourths of these perish unnecessarily
—perish as the consequence of the ne
glect or the ignorance of mothers.
Most infants are physicked and fed to
death. No medicine, whatever, not
the modest catnip tea, should be given
to infants without the direction of
the family physician. As to food, the
practice is, the moment an infant is
to cry it is fed, the result is that in
lesss than a week the little thing cries
oftener from colic than from hunger,
which may be often known by its
vomiting soon after it is feci, or by its
refusing to take food. The great, the
essential point, is to feed all children
at regular intervals. From neglect of
this, infants arc made dispeptic be
foie they are a month old, and be
twjen alternating physicking and
feeding, they go off in convulsions,
water on the brain, or diarrhoea.
Notice at what intervals food is nec
essary, and feed only at such times,
these being greater as the child
grows older; next, keep the child
abundantly warm; keep it constantly
clean; let it be in the open air every
day, and never allow it to be shower
ed* or bathed in cold-water. — Hall’s
Journal of Health.
French gentleman, learning
English to some purpose, replied thus
to the salutations: “How do you do,
Monsieur?” “Do vat?” “How do
you find yourself?” “I never loses
myself.” How do you feel ?” “Smooth;
