o IDLE HANDS. Mr. Thornton ' came home at his usual . mid-day hour, and a 8 he went by the parlor door, he daw his daughter, a young lady of nineteen, lounging on the sofa with a book in her hands. The whirr of his wife’s sewing machine struck on his ears at the same moment. Without pausing at the parlor, he kept on to the room from which came the sound ofgndustry. ; S » yMra. Thornton did not observe the entrance of her husband. She was bending close down over her work, and the noise. of her machine was louder than hiz footsteps on the floor. He stood looking at her for some time without speaking. - . i Oh, dear! exclaimed the tired woman, letting her foot rest on the treadle, and . straightening “herself up, this pain in my side i almast beyond endurance. e k 111 : Theén ‘why do you sit, killing your-, self tfinre"k};aid tyhehuébim& g y e ‘Mr. ‘Thornton's aspect was unusually sober. ° V. ' What’s the matter. Why do you look 8o serious 7 asked his wife. - . Has anything gone wrong? Her countenance grew slightly troubled.—. Things had gone wrong in her husband’s business more than once, and she had learned to dread the ocecurrence of disaster. : S Things are wrong all the time, he replied in some impatience of manner. In your busincss? She spoke a little faintly. i Jpr No, nothing especially out of the way there, but it’s alliwrong at home, I dor’t understand ‘you, Haryey—what is wrong at home, pray. ~. Wrong for you to git, in’ pain and exhaustion over that sewing machine, while an idle danghter lotinges over a novel in the par‘{or. That’s what I wished to gay.. - gy - :
It isn’t Effie’s tault. 'She often asks to help me. But I can’t see the child put down to ' household' amdgerfi"Her time will ' eome - soon ' eriough.— Let her have a'little' ease and comfort while she may. A If we said that of our sons, replied he; and acted on the word, what effieient men they would make for life’s trials and duties! ¢ 5 :
You arc wrongin this ‘thing—all ‘wrong, continued the hushand. ‘And if Bffio is a right-minded girl, she will have more true enjoyment in the consciousnesg that she is lightening her wother’s burdens than it is possible to ‘obtain from the finest novel ever writteni, Exeitement for the imadgination i# no substitute for that deep peace of mind that ever aecompanies and suc“ceeds the right discharge -of daily ‘duties... It is'a poor compliment to Effie’s moral sense to-sappose that' she can be content to'sit with idle hands, or to employ them in light frivolities, while her mother i 8 worn down with toil beyond her atrength. Hester, it must notbe b i . e . And it shall not be! said a quick, firm voice.: { : i
Thornton and his wife started; and turned to the gpeaker, who had entered the room' unobserved, and been a listener to' nearly all the canversation we have recorded,! ! : It shall notbe? And Effic eame and: stood by her father.! Her face was crimson; her eyes flooded with tears, through which light was flashing ; her form drawn up erectly ; her manner resolate. = s It isn’t all my fault, she said, as she laid her hand on her father’s arm: I've ‘askeéd ‘mother 'a great mhn‘{ times to let me . help “her, but she. always putd me off, aill -says it’s easier to do a’thing herself than to show anothér.” “Maybe T am alittle dall.— But every one has to learn, you know. Mother didn’t get her hand in fairly with that sewing machine for two or three weeks, and I'm certain it:would not take me any longer. Ifshe'd only teach me how to use it, I eounld help her a great deal: And, indeed, father, I am willing. S T Spoken. in right ‘spirit, my daughter, said he, approvingly. Girls should ba as usefnlly employed as b%ys,f'imi’ ‘ in the Very 'thilig most likely to be required-of them' ‘when ‘they ;'fiégb‘fimv women in the responsible positions of -wives and mothérs. ' Depend upon it, Effie, an idle girlhood is'not the way to a cheerful womanhood. Learn and do, now, things “that will be required of. l}"@'fl, in after years, and then you ‘will Hidve an acquired facility. Habit and skill will’ make easy y{a_.fijifiéht‘ ¢ome hard, and be felt a 8 very burden?flbme#’a',ff ld h;l.g‘ h&'}a : ~_And you, ‘wonld have her abandon all s ppisvotione Malh, LR mpthmy Give up musi¢, reading, society— ~ .

S — I read *‘That Cavalier’ until ‘cleven o’clock. ' e e ng Thorntoti shook his head, and agked: - s After eleven, how was the time spentd . o i Z ‘I dressed myself and went out.— A little after twelve o’clock. An honr was spent in dressing. - Yeaywiey 7T proin . Where did yougo? = = I called for 'H‘efen Boyd, and we took a walk down Broadway. . And came home just in time for dinner. T think I met you st the door. W Yes sir. e 1 : : How was it after dinner ¥ ~ Islept from thre¢ until five, and then took a bath and dressed myselfFrom eix until tea time, I sat at the parlor window. : After teal . | b gead the ‘Cavalier’ antil I went to ‘bed.. e f § .+ At what hour? . .. ; Eleven o'clock. ~“ - L Now, we can mako up this accunt, said the father. You rose at seven and retired at eleven. Sixteen hours, and from your own' account of the ‘day, but a single hour was spent in anything ugeful—that waa the fiffi‘t at your piano. Now, your mother was up at half paat five, and went to bed, from sheer inability to sit at her work any longer, at half past nine. Sixteen hours for her also. How much reading did you do in that time ? And now he looked at his wife. Don’t "talk to me of reading ; I've 1o time to read ! T
She answered a little impatiently. The. ‘contrast of her daughter’s id{o bours, with her'own life of exhausting toil, did not affect her mind very pleasantly. 2 . And, yet; you were ‘always fond of reading, and I can remember when no day went ‘by without an 'hour or two rgssedfl‘with your books. ' Did you i¢ down after dipner. . = = - Of course not, i3ty And didn’t you take - A pleasant walk down Broadwa&. nor sit at the parlor window with Effic. How about that ? ; :
There was no reply. i Now the case is a very plain one, I continned Mr. Thornton. =ln faet, nothing could be plainer. Yougpend | from fourteen to sixteen hours in hard | work, while our daughter, taking yes- i terday as a sample, spends about the same time-in what is little better than idlenese. Suplposea new adjustment / were to/take place, and Kffie were to: be usefully employed in helping you" eight hours’ of each day, s%e would still have eight hours left for self-im-provement and recreation ; and you, relieved from your present over-tasked condition, might get baek a portion of* the health and spirits of which these too heavy household duties have rob | bed you. : s - Father ! said Effie, speaking thro’ her tears that were falling over her face, I never saw things in this light. | ‘Why haven’t you falked to me before. | I've often felt asif I'd like to help | her, she saye thay ‘you can’t do it,’ or | ‘l’d rather do it myself’ Indeed, it | isn’t all my fault. { i . It may not have been in the past, | Effie, replied ‘Mr. Thornton. But it | certainly will be in the future, unless | there is a new arrangement of things. | Tt is a false sentiment that lets daughters become idlers, while mothers, fashere, and sons take up the daily burden of work and bear it through all the'bnsy howed.” =| R L o ! Mrs,. Thornton did not come grace-. fully into the new order of things pro-: posed | by ber hushand aud ' accepted’ by the daughter, Palse pride in her daughter, that future 'ladj_; ideal, and an inclinatiion to do heraelf, than take | the trouble to teach another, werc all so many impediments. But Effie | and her father were both earnest, and it was not before the overtasked mother’s weary face began to lose its ook’ of wearinese, and ‘her languid frame {0 eome mp to an erect bearing.: She' could. find. time for the old pleasure. in' books ‘now and then, for | ‘& héalthy walk in the streets and a ‘call “on dome valded friend. i "And was Effie the worse for this change..: Did the burden ‘she was. -e’ha.rixfig.with ‘her :mother depress her ‘shoulders, and take the lightness from Her step 3. Not so. . The, langlt‘l:s engendered by sickness which had be%nn to show. itgelf, disappeared in a.

Did self-improvement stop? O, no? From one to two houra were given fto _close practice at the piano every day: Her mind, becoming vigorous in tone, instead of enervated by idleness, ehose & better order of: reading than had ‘been indulged before; and she was growing towards o thotghtful, eulti | yat,ez!‘.,,nnxel,ligeb,.t’ ‘womanhood. :She sl T Fipey wieid ek g - ties, for an hour twiee & week with i&__GQl’l?&n;Mfl:@fld;'h&bfipfiflfi < °“";x"‘“m“"'* rdraw. ing.

. From the Philaddphia Public’ Ledger. . . THE GARDEN OF EDEN. Prospects of the Discovery of its Location. There seems to be reasonable expectation of the discovery of the site of the Garden of Eden, if we may ] credit sEir Henry Rawlingon, the dietingunished Assyrian explorer, and President of the Royal Asiatie Society. At a meeting of that society, l held in London on the 'l3th of May, at which he was inangurated, he mm{e a apeech, in which he expressed his gonviction that the Babylonian writings and monuments, now in the possession of the British Museum, would turn out to be intimately connected \ with the earliest Biblical writing, and ‘that, before long, the whole of the ear- | ly history given in the book of Genef :i:.'gom the time of Abraham, down- ‘ 8, would be found existing in its ‘original form among” these primitive ntonchr:eordl Heh:ho - announced %.T‘fio society evidence that the name ‘“(Gazden of Eden” was the old and 'natural name of Bab{loh. . He stated that there were Babylonian documents’ which gave an exact geographical de: scription of that paradise in which the opening scenes of human history is laid, answering exactly to the topogra'.ghy and the geodesical particulars of the Holy Writ. In them he has found the zmr rivers, or rather, the four branches of “the river which: went out of Eden to water the garden,” mentioned by the very same names, Pison, Gihen, Hiddekel and Euphrates. He also met with accounts of the Flood and the Tower of Babel, which bear with signal directness and value upon the fi?iblical* narrative of those events. If he shouldrealize all he anticipates, he will have given to the world one of the most interesting archaological and antiquarian discoveries ever made. Among Biblical eritics, it. has been a matter of discussion whence came the two 'different accounts of the creation of ‘the world, of man, and of his history from his emanation from the hands of “his Creator down to his destruction by the Deluge, which forms the first nine chapters of Genesis. These two narratives have been distingunished respectively by the Jehovah and the Elohim records, becauße in one the Deity is spokenof as Jehovah, and in the othar.in the plural form of Elohim. Probably Sir Henry Rawlinson’s discoveries will throw light upon the subject, and thus clear up the obscurity which hangs over that portion of the sacred ‘toxt. If thia should be the case, hewill be a benefactor to theology and Biblical lore, as well as to history and archzology. There ig nothing amaz‘ing in the fact that tho seulptured _arehives -of Babylonia, neccssarily the chief memorial of tradition among the Chaldeans, should be reflected in the annals of a race which came forth from Chaldea; still the prospect of comparing the originals: with the derived reports, and of finding the authentic sources from which Elohist and Jehovist drew their statements, is one which will naturally excite vivid expectations among DBiblical scholars, and cannot fail to excite very general gurigsity. The cause of religion hLas always been/advanced by discoveries -in science, notwithstanding the outery against them by well-meaning but ‘short-sighted persons. . Truth can 'never gainsay truth, nor can we' go back to the practice, whether political or religious, which is said to have laid hands on Galileo for asserting that the world moved. “Nevertheless it moves,” is true of everything, as well as of the planet we live on; and if these new discoveries, or any others, interpret to us, in a iositive ‘or simple_ gense, légends which have been lost in the sacred mist of tradition, the Biblical account connot but gain in clearness, while the intent that dictatos the rec: ord must be carried out - with increased directness and force. The charac--ter of all such investigations has ever l been in the ~highcst sense Scriptural and Christian. It mag turn out that the Chaldeans lrad traditions of Eden, of the flood and of Babel, and that Abraham brought them with him from “TJr of the Chaldees,” to Canaan, and" ‘handed them down'to posterity, and these traditions may aldo have found their way into other hands long before 'Abraham’s time, which would partly aceount for their universality. Let us, at any rate, know what the Babylonian xecords can tell about the Gar‘den of Eden. If Hiddekel, Pison, and ‘Gihen, can be identified, without geographical bewilderment, let it, by alt ‘means, be done. We have our doubts about the probability of this. Kuphrates remains, but it seems strange that the three should have disappeared in a country where no ratural convulsions have taken place within recorded history. Neither the heat nor ‘t‘hg sand have been able to obliterate ‘the Enflhrates,and it is difficult to imagine that they could have obliterated the other rivers, unless they were in‘significant streams. But the turn -I,WEIch Sir Henry Rawlinson has giv‘en to the meaning of the “Garden of Eden,” throws light on that passage .in Isaiah, (chapter 37, v 12): “Have: -the 3&0&' the nation/ delivered them «which my fathers have destroyed, as ‘Zoram and Haran and Rezaph, and. ‘the ehildren of Eden which were in. ‘Telassar?” And on that in Ezekiel, (cpier 36, v. 19); Thon Tt boen ‘in Eden, the garden of God.”
