l'AKENTS AMI CHILDREN,
Kothlnfitou Good for the Children: There is a certain class of writers who are never weary of crying out against the "shut-up-parlor' which is considered too good for the children. Proably these writers are women, but proably they are not mothers, or they would not advocate the rights of children quite so strongly. The fact is, 11, pro ia neither common sense nor
kindness in the idea, that no room is too good for children. If you yon rself love in hv nverv comer over-fan by law
less children, you at least owe it toyon.r friends and calling acquaintances to have one room in which one is not in danger of seating herself upon broken remnants of food, runing delicate gloves
by touching sticky latches ana doorknobs, or ruinning the risk of a sprained ankle or broken neck by stepping unwarily upon a marble or rolling spool. If one is unwilling to do this much, it were better to hang out a placard at
once: "This house is sacred tociiuareu. Nobody elBe has any natural rights of privileges here." Boston Courier.

More even, in a sense, than his wife, she appeals to hifi prtitecting care; he may scold or slight her, but let any real harm threaten her and she will see that to touch her is to touch the apple of his eye. And when there is real sympathy between a man and his daughter, they may be more to each other than father and sou can generally be. A lad has his own interests to look to, his own battle to fight while a girl is free to identify herself with another. A son is very often of different politios from his father, of different iasies, different sympathies; a girl almost always imbibes those of her father. The day comes, no doubt, when her allegiance and sympathy are transferred to another, in right of a still higher claim. There is little wonder if poor dethroned

Last Battle In Britain.
Taking the term "English soil" as
referring to Great Britain only, exclu
stye of Ireland and the colonies, the battle usually thus spoken of was that
which ended the Scottish rebellion oi
1746. This outbreak had for its object the restoration of the Stuarts to the English throne, and Was headed by
Uharles JSdward, grandson ol dames II, known in history as the Young Pretender, popularly styled in his time the Young Chevalier. Early in April, 1740, the Duke of Cumberland, in commsnd
of the English army, led his forces, about 9,000 strong, from Aberdeen to attack the Scotch at Inverness. Prince
Charles, whose army had dwindled to 5,000 men, resolved to check the English advance by surprising the Duke
at .Nairn, twelve mites from Inverness. This march was attempted in the night,
but the plan failed qn account of the
muddy condition of the roads, uuaries then took up a position on Cul lotion Moor. Here the battle of Culloden was fought April 16, 1746, The D ike of Cumberland drew up his army with
great skill m three lines, with c .va'ry on each Dank, and artillery so placed as,to fire directly into the advancing
columns of the enemy, ljora u cor go Murray, who led the first column of the
Hcotch army, the .Prince neing at t,ne
head of the second, made a furious charge and broke through the first line of the English. Put the second line, three deep, the first rank kneeling and the next stooping, received the Scots
with a murderous lire and threw thorn into disorder. The English then charged, drove the clans before them in a confused mass, and gained a com
plete victory. The luuglish troops ruthlessly massacred the wounded, and their commander permitted such atrocities upon the inhabitants of the re
volted districts that he received the name of "r,he Butcher." This was the last stand made by the Scotch rebellion. An attempt was raado to rally the army again, but Charles sent word to the leaders to make no further effort
in his behalf. The unfortunate pi-ince wandered about the country for five months, a price of .80,000 upon his head, being protected and concoaled by his devoted followers, who at last got him safely on board a vessel, embarked for France, September, 20th, 1740, und thus ended forever the hopes of the house of Stuart. Irtler-Oi ean, The Faculty of Wonder. If you wish to write an essay, or io begin a conversation and are at a loss for something to write or talk about only write or say "I wonder," and 'something will be sure to follow. But "show me a man who never wonders, and I will show the man who nover thinks." said Voltaire. Asses -never
wonder, they take everything for granted and seems to be complete fatalists. They receive the cudgel a patiently as if it were preordained and essential to the harmony of the universe. The intellectual people, those who are not asses, investigate, think, wonder and ease to wonder, but they have no sooner ceased to wonder at one thing than they l-ein to wonder at another. I am willing to grant there is nothing new under the sun ; but for aU that we live in a very wonder ail world, and are constantly surrounded by a world of wonders. In fact, everything is wonderful, and the greatest
Wonder in the -world Would be to find
anything not wonderful; Wondering is the peculiar faculty and privilege of human and intellectual beings. I have said above that asses dd not, wonder; they have not Wit enough, I was going tb sav that wondering may be applied as a distinctive epithet of the human species, and that Plato might have amended bis definition by this addition : but I fenr I should be wrong. Plato defined man as a ieatherle.-s bipod, upon which. Diogenes, who was what the world calls a wicked wag, stripped the feathers from a poor unfortunate bantam cock, and exulttngly exclaimed: "There is Plato's mah." Now, if Plato, in order to render his
definition Jnoro definite, bad defined hiitn to be a wondering, featherless biped, Diogenes would still have been down noon him. saving: "Look at
Plato's man a featherless, biped, wondering what has Become of his featUers!" Brooklyn Eagle. Women's Arms. The Most beautiful girl on the American stage to-day is Pauline Hall. That is my opinion; and wUt-n I also present it as the naked tru'iU you will agree With We if ever yoa hate seen her in the breviary condition t)f df snerv common to burlesque. She has a
lovely, good-humored face and a faultloss lorm, excepting that her hands and feet are somtwhat too generous. They make a mistake in their mode of using her, however, for she ought not to be allowed to stir while in sight of the ftudtened, foi? she is as awkward as a

movements arc heavy and labored; and
I have often felt like suggesting to the manager the expediency of strewing
torpedoes along her tracx ou tue stage : so that a scries of explosion s might enliven her foot steps. But she is an en

of variation, is tho most curious thing
in current arausements. xho other evening she inadvertely started in with a gesture whic h belonged in the middle of a stanza. She was so completely upset that she broke down entirely, and had to begin oV6r again, like a fb ealist who has got so badly out of time that disaster ifi inevitable.

Diuing-itoouis of the Ancients.
The most elaborate rooms as regards furniture were- the dining-rcoms. As a
matter of course thev varied greatly in
shape, but the arrangement of them was esseutiallv the same, In many of
the wealthiest houses there were different dining-rooms for different seasons

Lucnllus, who was famous for his luxurious banqttets, had diningto jms adapts to the rank of His guests and the costlineSa of the entertainments that he gave in them, and if he were but to indicate the room in which lie was to dine everything was arranged accordingly.

table, and this was placed m the ecu-; ter, with a cushioned seat or o-u.'l running round on three sides, for the Greeks, as well as the ltomans, never 1 sat at meals, bnt ate in a fecluuu posture. Tlw fourth side was always j left open for the convenience of the servants who waited upon the table, preat stress was laid upon the costliness of these tables, both in material and artificial finish. They were lower Shan ours to accommodate the recumbent guests, and their form was also influenced by the praotive of reclining at meals. The ancients did not put their limbs under the tables as we do,
the table top not projecting as much as that of a modem dining-table. This rendered the feet and iramework of antique tables a great deal more conspicuous and could be much more richly ornamented. Tho feet and framework of tables were often carved in the shape of various kinds of figures. Sometimes the tops rested on the wings of two griffins, placed back to back on feet of lions or other animals. Tables were often raodo among the wealthier Bomans of prti.-ious metals or of mar-' ble and bronas, or had-legs of bronze, which supported a marble or wooden slab. Only nine persons eould dine at oneof these tables, for tho ancients had a rule that the number of guests should not be greater than that of the Muses or less than tho Graces. A litiod Reason.

Drawing Drafts of the Future. A man in China endowed with much forethought can make seme provision for his own future comfort. The priests haye considerately organized a bank for the spirit world. To this the provident may remit large sums during their lifetime, and can draw on the bank as soon as they reach the dark country. The priests periodically an

Force ef Democratic Habit, During the fSuf-dnd'twenty years the Democratic party was out of power It developed a habit of angry and persistent fault-finding. Its part in the affairs of the times was to stand at one side, complain bitterly over everything that was done, and enact ihe' rflll) Of a ttorsiuiah in m iking evil prophecies of tho future"; Perhaps there never was a political organization that became so complelely and exclusively a paity of opposition for the sake of opposition. It could be counted on to oppose even the policies it clu.ime to he essentially Democratic, and whenever anything Uke ehange or unproremeiit in the existing ordef of things became necessary tho Uemoeratie party was found ready for a stubborn balk. After cultivating this spirit for miny years the Demociatic parly returns to power with tho instinct of opposition developed into a

A SttfilNU lioilivu. The 2d of February iu f ved ri i-. ;
considered the midwinter day. lu tae era of paganism it was a great festival in honor of the heroine Goa or Go;ja,
deified under tho name of l'isa, to whom the whole month was consecrated besides. The legend of Goa is very curious.
It states that at one time when the
country was visited by a frightful famine, the Thing, or national assembly, decided that, iu order to alleviate the general distress, it would bo necessary
to put to death a part of the population, especially the old and infirm. Goa alone dared to protest loudly ; and claimed to be able to propose a menus of remedying the dearth, which would prove more effioaoious as well as more humane. The King ordered the execution of the decree to be postponed; but in tho interim, desiring to test the sagacity of the young girl, and to confound her audacity, he sont her word he would only receive her on condition
that she would corns to his dwell ,ng
neither on foot nor in a vehicle; neith
er dressed nor undressed ; neither m the course of a year nor daring nuy
particular month ; neither by day nor
by night
Goa solved the enigma. fSbe came
to the King's house on a sledge drawn
by a goat, holding on to the side of the
sledge, with one leg resting on tne oie of tho sledmi. the other on tho goat.
She wore a fishing net only in lieu of crnrmants: aud sho came exactly at tho
