Sela Parkes to her husbaud, who
was carefully arranging bis toilets
preparatory to leaving home.
“Well,” returned ho, “I have
promised to go to the coterie this
evening; there aro a number of
my old friends to be thero and I
do not choose to disappoint them.”
“Tho children are very sick, and
I fear Eddie will nover bo any bet

down upou a couch, covering her
face with her thin transparent
hands, and sobbed aloud.
Her husband, turning, said mi'
gnly;
“Now, what is the use of getting
up a scene, Sela ? You are always
frightened to death if there is any
thing Iho matter with the children.
Eddie is cutting teeth, ami children
are always sick at that trying
time; but what is the uao of fret

presided his once idoliz d woman.
His children were neglected and
seldom received that loving atten
tion that was necessary to their
happiness.
Bela Fane was merely a child
when sho became the wifo of Ed
ward Parkes; ho had loved her
from her early childhood. She
gave him all her love with a depth
of feeling that her young chtldidi
nature was ctpablo of gvin;
She looked up to bim r.a
perior being, her home had been
among strangers, having boon au
-rphau since her third year, and
sho was rejoietd at fimling so lov
ing a protector and the prospect of
a happy home of her own.
Her husband was fieven years
her scuior, and as they stood at
the altar on that clear, bright
morning iu June, she seemed so
young, artless aud confiding, her
life’s history as yet unwritten,
med as clear and spotU-ss aa
her pure, white grrmoots, and her
future seemed bright as the gol*
den glory of the sunshine that
lighted up the azure skies.
But to return to tho lonely wife.
As the last faint echo of her hus
band's footfall died away in tho
distance, Mrs, Parkes sank upon
her knees, by the bedside of sick
children, smothering in its folds
the sobbing of heartfelt grief that
oppressed her. For come moments
she gave herself up to her feelings,
and all her past life came vividly
to memory, until the cries of her
children recall her to her tortur
ing duty. Bbe murmured a pray
er foi her babes aud erring bus-
band, brushed the tears from her
eyes, and resumed her watch be
side the little sufferers.

NO. 22
Origin of tho Secret Sessions of
the United States Senate.
Uuder existing rules two Sena
tors can close tho doors of the
United States Senate at any time,
even though all others regard it as
unnecessary. The original{ rule,
as adopted February 20, 1794, is

that seldom befall those of more
immature years.
As tho eveuing advanced,
Georgia became very restless, and
littlo Eddie—now a year old—wa<
moaning as if in great pain, each
labored breath gave untold misery
to the anxious mother. Placing
Georgio in tho cradio, elm rocked
him, while she held Eddie upon
her lap, soothing, each by gentle
words and caresses.
Ten o’clock came, and sho ferv*
ently prayed that her husband
would come, ns 1m had promised.
The hour passed, but he canto uot.
Twelve—one—two and thr^e; still
tho mother sat alone, watching the
changed symptoms of her littlo
ones. The wind moaned dismally,
and the snow beat against.tho
dow pane, making her lone’
seem doubly drear. Tho lamp
gavo out but a dim, fitful light,
and the room had grown cold and
eerless,
Eddie grew moro restless, and
reapiiation was labored and diffi
cult; his sufferings wore great.
He was finally taken with convul
sions, and ero the morning dawned,
death ca.no to his reliof.
Mrs. Parkes was frantic with
grief. Sho had Her dead baby in
her arms, aud kopt oallingsfor her
husband. With a nerve almost su
perhuman, sho closed her dtjnd
baby’s eyes, laid him gently on his
couch and composed his frail form
with ns much care as if Lo were
but sleeping.
Hastily throwing on a hood and
shawl, she left the house to beck n>'-
a friend cf Mr.
bully offer d his
ho scut a good,
assist Mrs. Parkes.
A full hour passed before she re
turned to her desolate homo, where
she had left her dead aud living
together.
Mr. Parkes had uot yet return*
ed, but was at that moment fcpos
ing nt n village inn some fifteen
miles from his home, where ho
had gone the night before with a
large and boisterous company of
males and females, who had pass
ed the hours it; dancing mid gay
hilarity.
He scarcely thought of hii with
or sick children, and it was not
until ho met an acquaintance upon
returning to tho City, who Inform
ed him of the death of his child,
that his own neglect and hearth?**-
ness appeared to him; ho hastened
home to find his wife in a violent
lover and delirious, calling con
stantly for him to come to her.
Tho excitement and fatigue had
been too muob, and when reliof
enrao sho sank down utterly
conscious. Sho wa4 dangorously
ill for several weeks, but finally
recovered and was but a shadow ot
her former self, and Georgio bad
recovered his usual health.
Mr. Parkes, during bis wife’s ill
ness, had time to consider upon
bis own selfish waywardness, and
(utterly did ho regret that he had
leen so thoughtless and neglectful;
his faithful and loving wife had
suffered in consequence, and ho
determined, if ever she recovered
to devote mure of his time and en
ergies to her happiness,
One afternoon iu the early Bpriug
they went to the --church-yard to
visit their baby’s grave; while
kneeling bcs : do it, ho said:
"Can ray little wife forgivo mo
for all the sorrow I bavo caused
her?”
She murmured:
“The past is buried iu my dar
ling’s grave.”

O11 a motion made aud second
ed to close the doors of the Senate
on the discussion of any business
which may, in tho opinion of a
Senator, require secrecy, the presid
iug officer shall direct tho galleries
to bo cleared; and, during tho difl**
cu>uion of suck motion the doors
shall remain closed.”
Tho only changes from tho orig.
inal rule is that " close” is substh
tulcd for shut an “Senator” foi
member,
For some years after the organi
zation of CongrcsH in 1789 the
public were excluded from all de
liberations of tho Senate, and that
body sat regular’)’ with closed
doors. The first effort to change
this mode of proceedurc and per
mit the people of tho country to
know what that august body did
aud said was on tho 30th of April,
1790, when a motion was made
“that tho doors of tho *Sonato
chamber shall ho open when the
Seriate is sitting in their legislative
capacity, to the end that such of
the cit swiis of tho United States
as may chuos • to hear the debates
of this house may have an oppor
tunity of *0 doing,”
But ho littlo rosjcct did the "fa
thers of the republic” have for the
people that they rejected this pro*
position outright. At the two
subsequent sessions tiie tamo n
tiou was repented, only to meet,
00, tho same fiito
when first submitted On tho 18th
of Aptil, 1792, a motion w
knit tho numbers of the House
of Representatives to attend tin
debates of the Senate when sitting
ils legislative capacity, hut that
dso of exclusion which has clung
to tho Senate and is still go marked
feature of tho body, prompted
tho rejection of this proposition.
A yea and nay voto was taken,
resulting in the dcie.it of tho' mo
tion by a voto of six yeas and six

1703, that tho Senate formally con
Merited to open its doors to the peo
ple, through the rule quoted above
in relation to motions to close the
doors wus adopted February 20,
1794, himultiineouflly with a reso
lution permitting tho doors to be
opened. On the first day named
(December 0, 1705) the following
was adopted:

said that the Vapors of liquid tar
und turpentine would dissolve the
fibrinous exudations which choke
up tbo throat iu croup and diph
theria.
Dr, Delthil’s process was describ
ed. He pours equal parts of tur*
pentiue and liquid tnr into n tin
pan or cup nrnl flct9 fire to tho mix
ture. A dense resin jus smoke
arises, which obscures tho air of
tho room.
“The patient,” Dr. DeHbil says,
“immediately stems to experience
relief; tho choking and rattling
stop; tbe patient falls iuto a slum
ber and seems to inhale the smoko
with pleasure. The fibrinous mem-
branco soon becomes detached,
and tho pnticut coughs up micro*
bicidcs. These, when caught in «
glass’, may be seen to dissolve it:
tbe smoke. In the course of tLrce
days afterward the patient entirely
recovers.”

of liquefied tar on nn iron pan, he

How Boys' Marbles ars Made.
Almost all tho "mai bios” with
which boys everywhere amaee
themselves in season and out of
season, on pavement and in shady
spots, aro made at Oherstein, Ger»*
many. Thero aro largo, agale
quarries and mills in that neigh-*
borhood, and tho refuse is turned
to good account in providing tho
small stone bulla for oxperU to
knuckle” with. The stone is
broken into small cubes by blows
0! a light hammer. Thcso small
blocks of stons aro thrown by tho
shovelful into the hopper of 0 small
mill, foirned of a bids tone, having
its surface gioovol with concentre
furrows; above this is tho “runner, 1
hich is of some hard wood hav
ing a level ace on its lowcs sur
face. The uppers block is made
to revolve rapidly, water being de
livered upon the grooves of tbe
bedstone whero tho marbles are
being rounded. It takes about
fifteen minutes to finish a bushel
of good marbles, ready for tbe
boys' knucklos. One mill will turn
out 160,000 innrbieS per week.
The very hardest “crackers” as the
boys call them, aro made by a
slower process, somewhat analog
ous, however, to tho other.
