Yea — that it the question ! The Ucl is, there eeema to be no place in heaven above, or earth beneath, exactly aafc and soitable, except the bed. While be is asleep there oar tools bare rest — ve know where be is and what be is nbont, and sleep is a gracioni state; bat when he wakes up bright and early, and begins tooting, pounding, hammering, singing, meddling and asking questions ; I^Bbort. overturning the peace of eociegenerally for about thirteen hours oat o. svery twenty -four. Everybody wants to koow what to do wltb him— everybody H quite sure thai ha can't stay where tbey are. The cook ' can't base him in the kitchen, where be infesu the psntry to get floor to- make paste for hia kites, or melt lard io the new sauce pan. If bo goes into the wood-shad, be is sore to poU the woodpile down npon his hetd. If be be seut ' np into the garret, yoo thick for a while that yon have settled tbe problem, till J yon find what a boundless field for activity is at once opened, amid ail the | packages, boxes, bags barrels, and cast-off rakbish there. Old letters, j newspapers, trunks of misceilsucoai , . contents, are all rummaged, and the very ^ reign of chaos and old night it instiln- . ted. He sees endless capacities In all aod be it always hammering something. , or knocking something apart, or sewing , or planing, or drawing boxes and bar- ( rels in all directions to btalid cities or | lay railroad (racks, till everybody's bead , aches quite down to the lower floor, aod , everybody declares that Charley mfisi be kept out of the garret j Then yon send Charley to school, and , hope yoa are fairly rid of him fur a few | boors st issst But be comes homo , noisier and more brecsy than ever, bav- , log learned of some twenty other Char- , leys aver j separate resoorca for keeping , np a commotion that the superabundant ( vitality of each can originate.

It Is trot, that U entertaining persona f will devou tbamselvti exclusively to , WBling and telliag atortns, he. may t be kapt quiet ; but then this is discour- , aging work, for be awaUfiwi a story as j Rover dons a piece Of meat sad looks t at yon for number aod another, without t the slightest consideration, so that this | raaonrea is of short duration, and then t tb.oMque. ion comes back: what la , ' to be flone with him ? , ly sMrtv i, for be it as iuatitetion— a 3 solemn sad awful fact ; and or the as- \ amartm_^n qunfioo : What it to be ; daa* with him ? depends a fatm ;ji

Many s bard, morose, bitter man baa came from a Charley turned off sad neglected ; many a paternal bean-ache has come from a Charley left to mo the streets, that mammas and sisters might play on the piano and write letters in peace. It is easy to got rid of him ; there are fifty ways of doing that. He is a spirit that can be promptly laid, but if oot laid aright will come back, by-aod-by, a strong man armed, wbeo you caonot send him off at pleasure. Mamma aod sisters had better pay a little lax to Charley now, than a terrible one by-and-by. There it. something significant in the old English phrase, with which our Scriptures reader as familiar, a man child — a mam child. There you bava tbe word that should make you tbiok more tbao twice before you answer tbe qnestioo : "What shall we do with Charley ?" ' For to-day be is at your feet ; to-day , yoo can make bim laugh, yoo can make him cry, you can persuade, cosx, aud turn him to your pleasure; yoo - csn make bis eyes fill aod his bosom awell with recitals of good aod noble deeds ; in abort, yon can mould bim if you will take tbe troubla. But look ahead soma yean, wbeo that little voicqihall ring io deep baas tines ; - when that small fool shall have a man's weight and tramp ; wbeo a rough beard shall cover that little round chio, and the wilful strength of manhood fill out that Httlo form. Then yon would give worlds for the key to his heart, to be wblo to torn and guide him to your will ; but If yqo will lose that key, now he is little, you may search for it tarefully, with tear*, some otbsr day, aod ner »r find It, Old housekeepers bare a proverb, that one boor lost In tbe morning is never found all day. It has n significance in tbis case. One thing is to be noticed nbont Charley, that, rude, and busy, sbd noisy as be is, and irksome as carpet rules and parlor ways are to him, be is still a social little creature, and wants to be where tbe rest of tbe household are. ' A room ever so well adapted for play cannot charm him at the boor when the family is in re-ooioo ; he beers tbe voices In the parlor, and bis play room seems desolate. It may be warmed by a furnace and lighted with ga», hot it is human wartuth and light he ibivers for; be yearns for tbe talk of the family, whichthe so imperfectly comprehends, and be lungs to take bis playthings down and play by you. and is incessantly promising that of the fifty improper things which be ii liable to do in the parlor, hs will not commit one if yoo will let bim atay there. Tbis iustinct of the little one 1s Natore's warning plea— God's admonitionO, how many a mother, who bas neglected it brcaose it was irksome to have tbe child about, has lunged at twenty -flve to keep ber son by her aide, end he would not I Shut out a* a little Arab ; constantly told that be is noisy, thai be ia awkward and meddlesome, and a plague in general, the boy bas foond at last his own company in the strrete, in the highways aod hedges,' where he rnns till the day comes when tbe parents want their son, and the listheir brother,' aad then they are scared at tbe face be briogt back to them, wa be oomes ell fool aod smutty from the companionship to which tbey { doomed bim. Depend npon it, If , Is too much trouble to keep yoor boy your society, there will be place* found for him— warmed and lighted with friendly fires— where be who fiuds \ some mischief still fbr Idle bends to do, , will ears for him, if yon do not. You pat out a tree aad it will grow while you sleep, but a eou you cannot— ' yoo mast take. trouble for bim, either a I l'<tle now, or a great deal by-and-by. Xet bim stay with you at least some portion of every dey; bear bis noise aod his ignorant ways. Pot asida your 1 book or work to tell bim a atory, or I show bim a picture ; devise still parlor plays for bim, for be gains nothing by I allowed to spoil tbe comfort of ( the whole circle. A pencil, e sheet of t paper, and a few patterns will some- i times ksep bim quiet by you for aa boor, | while you are talking, or in a corner be build a block boaea, annoying aobodj. If be does now aod then disturb 1 yoo, and It ootte yon more thought and 1 care to regulate Urn there, balance which is tbe greatest evil— to be di,terbed bv hi. new, or whaa be b . 1

*' Of all you can give yoor Charley, if t- yon are a good man or woman, yonr * pretence is the best "mud safest thing, e God never meant him to do wltboot yon it any more than chickens were meant to n grow without being brooded. Then let him have some place in yonr e houte where it shall be.no sin to himl aier and pound, and make ell the litter - hia baart desires aod his Tariuos schemes u require. Even if yon ceo ill afford the room, weigh well between that safe nays lam sad one which, if denied, ho may e make for himself ia the street. Of all devices for Charley which we H have, e few shelves which be may dig- , nify with the name of a cabinet is one 1 i of tbe beat. He picks np shells and i pebbles aud stooes, ail odds and ends, 1 - nothing comes amiss ; and if you give > him a pair of scissors aod a little gum, , there is no end of tbe labels be will , r paste on, and tbe hoars he may iooo- I s cenily spend sorting sod arranging. i I A bottle of liquid gum is an iuvaluai ble resource for various purposes, uor 1 I I most you mind tboogh be varnish his j ; nose and fingers and clolbcs, (which he i ( i will do of coor>e) If he doea nothing I ( worse. A cbosp paint box, aod some i t engravings to color, is another ; and if i ; you win give bim some real paint end i i putty to paint and patty bis boats sod < I cars, be is a made man. I All these things make trouble — to be ' I sore they do — but Charley it to make j ) trouble, that is the nlture of tba institu- ) i tion ; you are only to choose between ! f ; safe and wholesome trouble, and tbe ' , i trouble that comes at last I'ke a whirl- I , wind.

But a this truth has seldom been more link- , » ingly expressed then it wes lately by a b ] celebrated colored caterer, wbo practices j 0 | his useful profession io one of onr sisler : 1 cities, wbicb is renowned for its excel- : r lent school of learning. A lady was £ shoot to mske s. party and invite among (i others the Fscnlty of the college. She f therefore held e consultation with tbe j caterer about the preparations which L were necessary.

A SWEET LITTLE STOUT. Wbee Mary and 1 were married we ware yonng aud foolish, for we bad nothing to be married with ; bat Mary waa delicate, and 1 tfaoagbt I could take car* if her best. I knew I bad a strong arm nod a brave heart to depend npon. We rented a chamber and went to bonsekeeping. We got together a little furniture — a tablv, bedstead, dishee— but our money failed at before we got the chairs. I told Mary tbe must turn up a tub, for 1 could oot run in debt — no, no It waa not lung before onr rich neighbor Mrs. M— found ot out and supplied us — half a dosao chairs were added to our stock. The*1 were old oies, to bo sure, bat en •weted just as wall for os. I shall never forget tbe new lace tboe* chairs put on our , •aeg quartan— tbey cever looked jost right before. Tbe tablet ere turned with Mrs. M aod rue no* — tbe has lorned uut a poor widow ! But she ehall never want while ! have anything — never ! I stall never forget those old chairs. Ah, now the secret ie out. It waa the interest of the old cbeirs whis* maiutaiued tba poor widow. She was living on the internal of a little friendly act done years before, and it tofliced for herself aod bcr daughter. How beenttfal it i* to see bow God blesses the operation of hit great moral law, "love thy neighbor," and we tboaid ofleaer ate It, should we look ioto tbe hidden paths of life, and find that it la aot riches, not self-interest, oor fame that biod heart to heart. Tba timpla of e friendly act can do more than they. It is these — the friendly acts, tbe | neighborly kiodneecet, the Christian aym j patby of one towards anntbar— which rob 1 wealth of its power to curse, extract tbe 1 • eoirows, aod open tbe well of gled- I nets and desolato homes. We do not i always see tbe golden links shining in tbe | chain of human events ; but tbey aro there. 1 ! and happy it he wbo feels tbeir gentle but irresistible influence. i A PRACTICAL BPIRITt AL18T. j A dry old codger, connected with the railroad interval, a man wbo listens always | and » peaks little, and was never known to I yrgu* a .hobby with anybody, baa lately | ] all month an J ear to a very comma- : , oir.ative apirit, of the qltra school, lie lit- ' I tened to and swallowed all sorts of things, j from tbe other wovld, with eo mncb pla- | cldity of aseent. that tha spiritualist at last i , i believed bim to be ooe of tbe faithful.
