Godmother's Story of Bunker Hill Battle. sines gambit summer's morning, when the fret thing gave us warning, Was.thebooming of the cannon from the river and the shore;. ,,Id,"' says grandma, "what's the matter, what is ill this noise and clatter? Have those scalping Indiana come to murder us once more?" • Footoldsouli my sides were shaking in the midst of slim- quaking, To hear her talk of Indians when the guns began to roar. n ills and the slaugh- terseen the burning village, g ter and the pillage, When the Mohawks killed her father with their ballets through his door. Then I said, "Now, dear old granny, don't you fret and worry any, Fern soon come back and tell you whether this is work or play; There can't be mischief in it, so I won't be gone a minute" -- Fora minute then I started. I was gone the live- long day- No time for bodice-laoing or for looking -glass grimaemg ; Down my hair went as I harried, tumbling half way to my heels; Oodforbid you ever knowing, when there's blood around her Bowing, How the lonely, helpless daughter of a quiet household feels I In the street I heard a thumping and I knew it was the stumping of the Cs rporai, our old neighbor, on that wooden leghewore,. with a knot of women round him,—it was lucky I had found him, 8o I followed with the others, and the corporal marched before. Then the carpeia], our old cripple (he would swear sometimes and tipple)— He had heard the bullets whistle in the old French war before -- Calla out in words of jeering, just as if they all were hearing, And his wooden leg thumps fiercely on the dusty belfry floor: "Ohl fire away, ye villains, and earn King George's ahiliina, Bat yell waste a ton of powder before a `rebel' falls; You may bang the dirt and welcome, they're as safe as Dan'l. Malcolm Ten foot beneath the gravestone that you've splinteredwith your balls 1" Iuthe hush of expectation, in the awe of trepida- tion, Of the dread approaching moment, we were well nigh breathless all ; Though the rotten bars were falling on the rickety railing, , We w crowding ap against them like the waves against a wall. On the sight our eyes discover as the blue -black Smoke blows over I The red -coats stretched in windrows as the mower rakes his hay; Hera a scarlet heap is lying, there a headlong srowdiallying, Like a billow that has broken and has shivered intoapray. Then we cried, "The troops ate routed 1- they are beat, it can't be doubted God be thanked, the flight is over 1" All I. the grim old soldier's smile 1 "Tell us, tenni why you look so ?" (we:could hard- ly speak' we shook so) s Are they beaten ? Are they boater ? Are they beaten ?" "Walt a while." It has all been told and painted; as forme they say I fainted, And the wooden -legged old corporal stumped with me down the stair. When.I woke from dreams affrighted the evening lamps were lighted, - Oa the floor a youth was lying ; his bleeding breast wa3 bare.. And I heard through all the flurry, "Send for Warren I hurry, hurry I Tell him here's a soldier bleeding, and he'll oome and: dress his wound 1" 1h, we knew not till the morrow told its tale of death and sorrow, How the starlight found him stiffened on the dark and bloody ground. Who the youth was, what his name was, where the place from which he came was, Who had brought him from the battle,and had left himat our door„ He could not speak to tell ns ; but 'twat: one of our brave fellows, As the homespun plainly showed us which the dying soldier wore. For they all thought he was dying as they gather ed round himcrying, And they said, "Oh, how they'll miss him 1" and "What will his mother do ?" Then,his eyelids just unclosinglike. a child's that has been dosing, Re faintly murmured. "Mother !"--and- I saw hi. eyes were bind. —"Why, grandma, how you're winking I" -Ah, my child, it seta me thinking Of a story not like this: one. Well, he somehow lived along So we Came tm know each other, and I nursed him like a—mother, Till at lasthe stood before me, tall and rosy -cheek- ed and strong. And we sometimes walked together in the pleasant summer weather;. —"Pleas to tell ns what his name was ?"—Just Your own, my little dear— There's his picture Copley painted ; we became so fascinated, That—in short, that's why I'm grandma, and you children all are here 1 Gaieties. —The most completely lost of all days is the one in which we have not laughed. —According to au arithmetical ex- change the proportion this year is about four liars to one trout. —An orator, saying that he had a very mixed audience, was asked how it happened. "Oh," said he, "I stirred it up ee with my eloquence." --It was a clever girl who, when her lover who was too bashful to '`speak out," asked her what he should do, re- plied: "Do write and fear not." —Arabella—"Oh ! I do so love a big do'!" George, with a tinge of sarcasm --"Oh. ! don't I wish I was a big dog!" Arabella—"Don't worry—you'll grow." —"Women are so contrary," said Btobbs ; "I thought when I got mar- ried my wife would darn my socks and let me alone ; instead of that she lets my socks alone and darns me." —A Derry clergyman, Rev. A. Ful- ton, vouches for the truth of the follow- ing : Questioning some children in Sunday School, he asked one of them— an intelligent little boy—who was the = wickedest man mentioned in the Old Testament. To his surprise a ready answer came : "Moses, sir." "And why Moses ?" inquired the clergyman, in amazement. "Coz, sir, he 'broke all the commandments at wanst." Change... How does it come about,this strange subtle work of time ? We watch its progress, but it is so slow, so Minute, that we do not recognize it. The' baby growing. Six months ago it was a meaningless lump of sweetness ; now it has developed, certain emotions, and eau in a. measure work its own will. The vine that needed but a bit of string and a tack covers the whole wall. The rose slip has grown to be a bush, has blossomed, and the roses are dead. "Years ago, in our childhood, we re- nseluber a handsome man—straight, strong,dark of hair and eye ; and here is a gray old man before us, come back from foreign lands. We see the change plainly enough, and are shocked at it --can scarcely believe it ; but Led we seen him every day, we should not have known when it happened. And he, i>i his turn, cannot believe th this wast a rosy child_ that sat upon his knee ! Our maturity troubles him as much as is decay does ns. "And you used to h ve long yellow ourls," he says, "and big ire eyes," and looks melon-_ oholy. Change, change, change ! faces and forms ; ye , hearts and souls also. Did John love ilian so fondly ? Yon would not think t possible now. Was Arthur the warm, impulsive fellow—this very Arte nrh is now the' w iciest shrewd- est of bud ess men ? Was it Rose who vowed tha love was worth losing the world for? She has just married Simon Simple for his money, and for nothing Oise. And this was I who believed everything I heard, the very I who now take ever ;statement with a grain of salt? But e all think.ourselves might fly improv d if we have but lost little moiety of sweetness, of trust or faith ; it is so much more sensible. Change, Change, change! The child to manhood ; the man to old age—old age to dust and ashes ; sweet to bitter, bud to bloom, and bloom to decay. And we sitblindly ooking on, and do not know anything o it at all until it is acoom- plished. an we think of life as any- thing but a great mystery when we re- ; member tll s ? L• . at mistake is made, for the habit involves much that is simply coarse; uncultivat- ed and unfeeling. We never knew and never heard of a gentleman, in -the best and most proper sense of that, word,who 'would pollute his lips with the slightest appre oh to profanity. ' But the num- ber ofjLwell dressed, fairly educated and undor btedly wealthy individuals throughout Canada who, in this as many other respects, glory in their sham , is beyond all estimate. We shoul be afraid to indibate how high the so i -al position of tob many df these really is. We have heard of a decent Presbyterian, not two , hundred miles from 'Toronto, remar ing upon his return from doing duty s a juryman at the ye 1y assize, that the town referred to w83 an awful 'place ; for everybody he sa'd swore, boys, lads, artisans, merchants, lawyers, doctors, eto. "Aye" he added, as if to clinch the statement, "the vary judge on the bench swears." We hoe things are not so bad now. Still, ffin all charity, they are bad enough,. No , dy at all tetanalted with the actual; acts, can have a y doubt about there - eing an immense amount of such prolan ty among school boys of all ranks nd of all ages. • Whence have these earned their o reek -distending oaths ? Undoubtedly ; in their own homes If the father swears why shouldn't the son ? If Ithe employer, why net the servant ? If the gentle- man 'hy not the lackey and the groom!? We try to persuade ourselves •that things have not gbt the length with us which they haver reached in the States. But though this be the oase, in all conscience they are bad. enough even here. And it' is not merely among the very degraded or the nouveraux riches that this profanity will be found,. Among these it is only what is to be ex- pected:, for character may be as base and wrthless, as even when outward circumstances are greatly improved. It is -to be met with, however, in far more unlikely places, and in far less likely companies. Profanity,n short, is in the air,! and the only question is, "How is it to be abated ?" Mere civilization, with the usual cant abogt human in- fluences, will go but little way. The chances are that the first advanced thinker, philosopher, statesman, mer- chant,' politician or newsman one comes aorossi will speedily give unquestionable evidence that in the nae of profane language he "is ill to beat." Even members of Churches and members of Parliament are not always free from this offensive tendenoy. The women even are so much infected with the same malady, that even if they do not yield to it themselves, they become so ao- m d cab u0 a to its maIIlf tin est O inits s all its phrase that they have ceased to wince or blush when oaths fly thick and fast in their presence. How long is this to continue ? "Till the spirit be poured out from on high." "The cross once seen is death to every vice ;" and it is not too much to say that where pro- fanity OM lurks in the language of any who 0411 themselves by the name of Christ; there can be no doubt at all about their "religion beingvain." John Banyan, after that "great changel in his soul's history to which every believer looks back With so much emotionA and gratitude, isj said to have been *daily concerned; about how he was to -get quit of his profanity. "I swear,tihe said "without knowing it. It comes as natural to me as to- breathe, and how then shall I be able to convince anyond that I have been turned unto God if I prebist in this loathsome habit ?" History tells us, however,, that his fears were not realized. From that hour he. never uttered an oath—never had U the Slightest inclination to do so. The habit was cut up by the root. His conscious weakness and 'his righteous fears were his great preseXvatives. He knew not what to do, land his eyes were consequently up unto God. Noth- ing short of this will make the profane man permanently and at all times .fear an oath This will, however ; this has, in myriads of oases ; and in has not to- day lost any of its power. A swearing philosother and a foul mouthed gentle- man are ideas sufficiently inoongrnons. But ass matter of fact they can easily be met with in ordinary life—the more the pity and the more the shame. It has been well said that such swearers are the devil's volunteers: Other of- fenders may perhaps ,expect to reap some advantage from their favorite vices. The swearer never can. He knows that it neither honors nor benefits anyone; His services and- himself are consequently too insignificant and base to imply anything like -e reward from the Prince of Darkness.: Wages, in short, are not to be thought of, and therefore he serves for nothing. though with the persistent sentence written "The wages of sin is death." • Didn't Like Church Music. An sold relish for c her dislike n her ohut aid :; „Why, tl avid sang that anthem to Seal." To this the old lady replied : "Weel, weel, I noo, for the first time -Inderstan' why Saul threw his javelin at David, when the lad sang for him." Scotch lady, who has no Snrch music, was expressing`. for the dinging of an anthem h, one day, when a neighbor is is a very old anthem. The Stuffed Owl. The Rev. Mr. Jones had in his dining room a stuffed owl, which was as full of pompons wisdom as if it had been alive. His bishop coming to dinner onp day, he called his young son to introduce him to the dignitary. "Bishop Smith," said the father, "this is my youngest boy." "Bishop Smith !" cried the boy, "ho that's what you call the stuffed owl in the dining room." Who Sewed the Cover on P "Grandpa, does hens make their own eggs !" "Yes, indeed, they do, Johnnie." "An'_ do they always put the yelk in !the middle 1" I' • "Guess they do, Johnnie." "An' do they put the corn starch round to keep the yeller from robbing Off ? "Quite likely,my little boy." - "An,, who sews the cover on ?" This stumped the old gentleman, and 'ie barricaded Johnnie's mouth with a -gum drop. Bran Beds for the Babies. ' ' A French doctor has invented a new j bed for babies which holds them safe in its custody, and prevents them from ever giving any trouble at night to their attendants. This gentleman has sub - 'jested his system to the most trying of all tests, for he has applied it to all his Own children, and considers that the :life of One of them is entirely owing to 'its use. The idea is to fill the greater part of the cradle with bran, and im- merse the legs and part of the body of the child in this nest, covering them -over in the usual way, but fastening down the counterpane 'tight, so as to keep him firm in his place. Why this change of tactics should have the effect of taking away way from the infant his usual desire to howl during a part of every night is a question which we will leave nurses to explain for themselves after they have tried the system. In the meantime, until that trial has been made, it is only civil to believe the tes- timony of Drs. Bourgeois and Vigour- eux, who in two French papers of some authority declare that such is the in- variable result. This is not, however, the only advantage to be expected from the system. - The bran is supposed to have a warming and stimulating influ-- encu superior to any sort of cotton or cloth, and to allow children of the more sickly kind to develope more thickly and to be sooner able to use their limbs. The inventor of the sys- tem declares that they delight in their bran beds, and always "quit them with regret," when removed at the _ age of two years to one of a different kind. Profane Swearing. The following remarks from the last issue of the Canada Presbyterian, are well timed and worthy of : careful and conscientious consideration by every thinking reader : A short time ago we noticed in an English exchange, a strong protest against the sin of profane swearing, so - accompanied by a sorrowful-aoknow. iedgment of the extent to which it pre - wile among all classes in the United m ingdo.. We hope that there is some easure of unconscious exaggeration n the statements to which we have l referred to, for they represent all biasses• as more or less tainted with this disgusting vice, While with Multitudes it is said to be carried to an extent of hideousness positive- ly fearful to think about. It has been the custom to say that profane swearing had during the last fifty years gone greatly out of fashion. When George the IV was king, and we are afraid for a good while both before and after that period, Owearing was regarded as one of the polite accomplishments in- dispensable to the finished gentleman. ;Any one who wished to be thought of tally account, swore "with an air,'' and the presence of ladies acted in no degree as a preventive to the usual "common round." For a good while this delusion to a great extent passed away, and men ooncinded,altogether apart from Chris- tianity,that profane swearing was bad form, and that hostlers and coal heavers Might be left alone in their glory to practise what no gentleman could ouch. Perhaps another change ge has Since taken place in England, so that the old, profane, roystering ways and words are again presentable in "good society." If so we are sorry for it. It has always been a matter of regret to all well wishers of Canada that so much profanity abounds, and that, we are sorry to add, not exclusively beyond the pale of the Christian. Church. That the practice is regarded by many as quite oompatiable with being "gentle• men," is beyond all .question. • In - this we of course think that a great Tile Raspberry Fungus. So son as the leaves of the raspberry and blackberry bushes, beth the culti- vated and those growing wild, have reached .two-thirds their natural size, and sometimes before, they are fre- quently noticed to be covered on the underside with a number of large patches of orange color. This spring I have received numerous letters, con- taining specimens of the plants affected by this ; Trouble, with the : anxious and important question : "What can we do ; for; this disease is destroying whole rows of our raspberry bushes ?" The trouble is parasitic fungus—a little plant whioh sends its fine microscopic fila- ments through the . substance of the young growing leaves, and after a short time breaks throngh the surface and develops a vast multi- tude of ;minute spores constituting the fine dusty powder with a rich orange Color. This fungus, unlike the grape mildew'ar}d other similar :comparative- ly slow acting parasites, is so rapid in its development, and has its course so nearly run when it shows itself, that up to the present no preventive has been found. So soon as aIbush is seen to be affected—and it -usually attacks the whale raspberry plant if at all—the best way is to cut it down and barn it at once, thus clearing the ground of a useless bush, and at the same time de- stroying a vast multitude of spores, that would otherwise find their way to other bushes, and there reproduce the tronhle.—Conn.
