Thk Philadelphia Press suggests
whether, if women bo allowed the priv
ilege of serving as jurors, and one of
them serving as such should be locked
in a room ail night with eleven men,
it would furnish grounds for the hus

ment is, if such a row is made when a
woman is locked up nil night with one
man, what effect would it have in law
if she were looked up with eleven ?

Childhood L.an<9.
There is a beautiful far-off land,
Lying in sunlight seas ;
Rot never a ship to that magic strand
Was wafted by fitful breeze.
For where her radient shores undfold,
Night stretches her purple bars,
>Jnd fastens it in with her gates of gold,
And guards it with sentry stars.
Over the fathom less summer skies,
.S’n<nvy clouds come and go ;
Through every valley that dreaming lies,
Musical rivers flow.
Mountain and forest, and glen and glade,
Ty the south w’ind fanned,
I'irds and blossoms that never fade,
Rritlien t his fairy laud.
Lvery vanished, forgotten day,
Scatters its sunshine there;
Puds unfolding, that passed away,
Are living more fresh and fair,
l.oving deeds that the hands have done,
Sheaves of life’s ripened grain ;
H'ork unfinished that souls begun,
A/adc perfect, there live again.
have sought it for weary years;
Act ne’er to their yearning eyes
The glow of the mystic sky appears,
Where this laud of the beautiful lies.
\ ctull have wandered its bright vales thro’
fn the quiet of peaceful hours r
Kaoli heart ttie calm of its joy once knew,
And the sweet off its deathless flowers.
But hou- by hour, from the hidden shore,
Our feet have journeying gone ;
y/n*! days that have faded can kuo\v uoinorc
The light of its tender dawn.
Vet, we may (iud in the great Somewhere,
Its stretches of pearl-white strand;
The bhnmi Hiid beauty that dwelling there
Makes Heaven the Cliildhood I-and.

It was a-happy group. The cheerful
young mother, \*i 1 h her smiling face

mirth, till -d the room, with the music
of their voices.
Harry and Ned very busy over a

houses of various styles of architect

Mrs. Harrington entered, accompanied
by a boy of seven and a girl of live
years Nhe was an intimate friend,
and therefore privileged to gain admit

an affectionate greeting between the
friends, those children drew near to

them anti Mrs. May s rosy group.
‘ i declare, Julia, you are a fl ippy
woman 1” she said.
“Very happy, Clara,” said Mrs.
May, with a merry laugh, “hut you
need not sigh so deeply over it.”
“ 1 flunk i was a little envious just
at that moment.”
“You, envious of me ?” said
May. “Nay, you must bo jesting.—
It av< u (l bo more in keeping were I to
envy you, with your grand now house,
and all its elegant surroundings.”
Tears sprang to tlio eyes of the
beautiful and wealthy Mrs. Harring
ton, as she replied :
“All the luxuries which wealth* can
give, I would gladly resign to-morrow,
if I could see Emma and Arthur as
si rang and tvs lively as these little ones
of yours. Oh, Julia, you and) not real
ize what an inestimable blessing good
health is, nor how the want of it can
mar the brightest fortunes.”
‘Do I not ? Why, Clara, it is the
study of my life that these little ones
of ntino may enjoy this blo -ing.”
“Do yon mean to say that a moth
er’s care can make her children strong
and healthy ?”
“I tliink it may do a great deal for
them in that respect To a few sim
ple rules, carefully followed, I partly
ascribe it, that my darlings are ever
in ruch robust an l vigorous health.”
“Pray give me the benefit of 80me
of these mlos. If they have such jsnv
er, every mother ought to know them.”
“My first rule is, pljnty of frnsh air
anti sunshine. L always hoc two- a
largo ami well vonrtiiatod nursery,
whore the morning sun may shino in.
Plants do not thrive in the shade nei
ther will nhililron. Rosy cheeks anti
buoyant spirits are not found in close
and shaded roome. Wo one mine de
pendent upon the suit for life and eul
eri'Wg titan wo are apt to think.”
Mrs Harrington looked thoughtful.
“My nursery is on the shaded side
of the Itouso,” sho said. “I chose the
room for that purpose, Item use it
seemed moro convenient, and my nurse
is such a careful body, that she- keeps
the blinds partly closed, for fear of
fading the new carpet.” “My next
rule is frequent bathing, in cold wator,
till the year round,” said Mrs. May.
Mrs I Lurriugtou sfutereiL
“That may do for your chubby
babes,” she said, ‘ but iny children
never could bear it. Emma is partic
ularly sensitive to cold. lam always
careful to have her bath w<Ul warmed.”
‘As good a receipt for colds ns you
could find, my dear Clara. In the
winter, or in the spring anil fall, the
least change in the temperature of the
air is sure to prove hurtful after the
warm bath. A rapid sponging in cold
water, in a heated room, with a thor
ough after-rubbing, 1 never found in
jurious to the most delicate chiltl. If
1 had the care of your Emma, l should
ttdd a little salt to the water, in order
to stimulate the skin ami promote a
free circulation of the blood.”
“Ah, Julia, if you had lost three lit
tle ones, as 1 have, you wouid not
dare to run such a risk !”
“Well, L will pass on to my third
rule,” said Mrs. May- “I am very
particular as to diet. I never allow
my children to eat :xuy but plain, well
cooked, nourishing- food, and that they
take at the regular hours. I nevor
lot them eat anything between meals ”
“That is rather hard upon them, is
it not ? My children are always teas
ing for cakes and crackers, and 1
should not have a moment’s peace if I
denied them. But thou, the little
dears have such poor appetites. At
tho table they sometimes refuso to
touch anything.”
“Cut otf the irregular supplies, and
see if they do not come to the table
hungry Then, being careful as to
tho quality of tls-ir food, let them oat
as much as they like.”
“But my children are so fastidious
that they will not touch plainly pre
pared food,” sititl Mrs. Harrington.—
“Emma would not eat one thing for
her dinner yesterday but a piece of
mince pie and an orange. The child
was so feverish all through the night
that I was really anxious about her,
but she seems all right this morning.”
“1 do n.it wonder at tho feverish
symptoms,” said Mrs. May. “I would
not dare to run the risk of a late din
ner of mince pie anil orange, even for
Nod there, who has never been ill in
his life.”
“It never soems to hurt Emma to
eat anything,” said Mrs. Harrington.
“But give me a few more of your rules.
I am quite interested in hearing them.”
“Exercise iu the open air, and plen
ty of it, I insist upon,” said Mrs.
May. “I am also very careful to iiuvo
every part of the hotly sufficiently pro
tected in cold weather. lam a groat
believer in flannel as a protection
against disease. My children always
wear flannel over the lungs, even in.
summer.’
“Not next to the skin ?”
“Yes. 1 could not feel safe about
th.-iu, unless they were thus guarded
in case of exposure.”
“It might do to serve my boy in
that way, blit you have no idea what
a sensitive little thing Emma is. 1
know sho would rebel against flannel ”
“I never allow my children to rebel
against my decrees,” said Mrs. May,
lirmiy. “Surely it is tho sense and
judgment of tho mother which ought
to govern, rather than tho whims of
tho child.”
“And you really think I am partly
to blame for Emma’s palo chunks 1”
saitl Mrs. Harrington
“I really think you are educating
her to delicate health, tihe was nut
born to it, for, if L rememl*or right,
sbe was a strong, lively babe.”
“But, my dear, does not attention to
all tlu-so little things make a perfect
slave of you < If 1 should try to car
rv out even the few rules you have
given uta, it would keep me iu a wor
ry half of my time, for I know I could
never indoettinate a nurse.”
“How can it mother better employ
her time than in guarding the best in
terests of her childrensaid Mrs. j
May. “It is a heaven-app; intod task ’
which she canuot depute to another. !
Besides, viewing this matter in the
most selfish light, I think it is really
easier for the mother herself to give
good care and training to her children,
laying, if possible in early life, the
foundation lor a robust and vigorous

oonstituiion;
“WeD,” S uiil Mrs. Harrington, as
she rose to depart, after a somewhat
extended call, “I will try to profit by
your precepts and example. 1 had no
idea that you had reduced tlio pursuit
of health to such a perfect system.” j
Mrs. May laughed, and said ;
“Go home, my dear, ami change
your nursery. Try fresh air, sunlight,
regular hours as to eating and sleep
ing, wholesome, proper diet, moderate'!
exorcise, Mid warm clothing, upon
these pale lit'le qtets of j ours, and see
if you will not be amply repaid. Take

Awful Calamity.
On Wednesday morning the 29th
inst., about 7 o’clock, during the prev
alence of a severe thunderstorm,- the -
residence of Dr. George B. Smith near •
Benevolence was struck by lightning, *
iuitl the entire family prostrated aud
stum ed by tho shock.
lo those who first recovered, an ap- -
palling spectacle presented itself.
There lay tho noble head of the
house with his nook broken, a lifeless
corpse, while the mother, and two of
the little ones were grievously injured
anti blackened by the fluid. To add
to tho horrors of tho scone, in an in
stant the entire dwelling was wrapped
in flames, and almost before the dead,
and suffering could bo removed to a
place of safety, tho whole pile wa# con
sumed, and a smoking ruin all that
remained of the pleasant home of that
happy family. Books, cloth
ing, all save two feather beds, fell a .
prey to the devouring element.
The intelligence spread like wild,
fire, anti never have we seen an entire
community more startled aud horror
stricken by any event.
It was the privilege of the writer to
know intimately, and love almost with
the affection of a brother, tho good
man and public spirited citizen, who*
has thus been cut otf in the twinkling
of an eye and in tho meridian of hi»
years and usefulness.
His death will create a dark and
aching void in the hearts of a largo*
circle of devoted friends, while upon
his poor family, God help them, the
blow falls with crushing and overpow
ering effect
May- the Father of Mercies be theii
shield and comforter.
We learn that Mrs. Smith, has par
tially recovered, though severely in
jurotl, anti the two children will like
wise probably survive. —Cuthbvrl Ap

It a statement made by some of the
Pennsylvania papers is to be credited,
a citizen of that Elate has perfected
an invention that is destined to effect
a complete revolution in the present
system ol building, and running rail
roads HSs plan is to lay four roils ill- -
stead of two to a single trflek roud ; to
build the cars seventeen* fees wide,
with double sets of wheels. These ho
propose# to have propelled by double
engines of si.'ity tons, which he says
can draw trains containing a thousand
passengers each. He claims that both'
the passenger aud freight cars of this
o ‘listruct.ou will weigh five tons less
than any two similar cars of the pres
ent make ; that there will be no oscil
lating motion to tlio trains while run
ning, even at a speed of sixty miles an
hour, aud that it will be ulmost im
possible to overturn chose cars.
The iiM-oirtor has applied for a pat
ent. By his system, ho claims that
the trip from New York to San Fran
cisco can bo made in sixty hours, in
cluding all stoppages. What a revo
lution this will creato in our present
“slow-coach” stylo of railroa«ling, to
be sure ! Just think of having such
roads in Goorgia—and wo expect to
live to see them—whereby- a business*
man can take a run to Atlanta, Co
lumbus, Etifaula or other now distant
towns, in a couple of hours after break
fast, attend to his affairs in thus#
places, aud get back in time for din

and when wo have such roads running,
