Snubbing & President \ General Grant Refuxex to Eat Hix Kreakfaxt at a Faxhionable Restau rant becau.ee He can't get a Pl icate Roam. A WashingtoJl-ti'Jegram, of Thurs day, to the New York Herald, says: The White House is in a topsy turvy condition just now, and their servants, in imitation of their master and mistress, are taking fMHittle recreation. When the President ar rived this mom in", his reception was* rather eool and disheartening, after lionizing at Long Branch. At eight o’clock he sallied forth, like an ordinary government clerk, in search of his breakfast. He was resolved fto patronize one of the fushionubcl establishments, probably with a view to a getting a breakfast that would remind him in some degree of Long Branch. He hauled up at Welker’s, which Ls a short distance from the White House. The President was on foot, nnd was dressed as usual in » black slab-tailed flock coat, and a tall; black stove-pipe hat. Going np the steps, he looked in at the dining room, where a gentleman was sitting at breakfast. Grant had a bewilder > e«l air about him, as if lie hall got into the wrong shop. “Good morning, General,” said the gentleman ut breakfast, recognizing him. Grant nodded mechanically, and muttered something that sounded like “Good morning,” all the time keeping his eyes at work, as if look ing for a place to sit down. Finally be went np to the desk of the restau rant and accosted the genius who “takes your money.” Grant. “I want a private room and breakfast as quick as possible.” Peter. (Eyeing the General nar rowly, as if to measure the length of his parse.) “Yon can’t have a private room here, Rir. There’s the dining room,” pointing to the room where the gentleman already mentioned was quietly enjoying his beefsteak nnd coffee. The President looked eonfuseil and astonished at the idea of his not lieing considered good for his break fast like any other man. He at once turned and beat a rapid retreat ont of the house, evidently disgusted with his reception. When he had gone, the gentleman in the dining room called Peter, and inquired if he knew who that person was. Peter. “Vo, #ir.” Gentleman. “Peter, that is Presi dent Grant,” . Peter, “The d—1, you say.” Gentleman. “Yes, indeed.” Peter. “Why don’t he come like a gentleman in a carriage, and not like an an old shoemaker with his Sunday clothes on! How did I know lie had money enough to pay for a private room and his breakfast!” The gentleman who seems to have seared Grant on* of the dining-room, and, per consequence, out of bis break fast, is a well known Uadical politician and author, who was the intimate friend of Presidents Pierce and Bn- chanan, and one who has dined and breakfasted, with some of the men in his day. A wag who was at hand suggested that hereafter when the President is lying around loose in jjearch of-his breakfast, he should have a label to his coat, with the , inscription, “I am Grant, President On a certain Saturday night the clerics of the Bank of Knglund could not make the balance conic out ttobt by just one hundred pound*. "Ws is a serious matter in that ostaldish ment—not the cash, but the discrep ancy, however slight. An error in the balancing has lieen known to keep a delegation of clerks from each department at work sometimes through the whole night A hue and cry, therefore, was made after this one hundred pninds, as if the old lady in Thread-nmlle street would be in the Gazette as an in solvent for the'want of it. Luckily, on the Sunday morning following, the clerk, in the middle of the sermon, perhaps, felt a suspicion of the truth dart through his mind quicker than a lightning Hash. He told the chief cashier, on Monday morning, that IKTliajis the mistake might Uuve occurred in packing some boxes of specie for the West Indies, which had been sent to Southampton for shipment. The suggestion was im mediately acted upon. Here was u race—lightning ugainst steam, and steam with a start of forty-eight hours. Instantly the wires asked whether such a vessel had “left tin 1 harbor.” “Just weighing anchor,” was tlie reply. “Stop her,” frantic ally shouted the telegraph. It was done. “Have up on deek certain boxes, marked so and so, ami weigh them carefully.” They were weighed; and one, the delinquent, was found heavier by just one (uu-ket of a hundred sovereigns than it ought to be. “Let her go," soys the myste rious telegraph. The West India folks were debited with just one hundred imiiuuIm more, ami the error was correeti'd without looking into the boxes, or deluying the voyage un hour. “ You ought to acquire the faculty of being at home in the best society,’ 'said a fashionable aunt to an honest nephew. “I manage that easily euough,” mummied the nephew, “ by staying at home with my wife and children.” Parents’ Department Parents : Though you may shrink from the work which we have ma|e ped out before you, becanae of its greatness, yet it is not so difficult, relying on the proffered help of the Holy Spirit, ns many suppose. If parents an' alive to the salvation, the early salvation of their children, many favorable opimrtuidties will present themselves, which, if seized, may lead to the most beneficial n' suits. To illustrate our meaning : After the child has recovered from a fit of passion, and the sun light of ]ieacc aiul love again beam from its soul, take it upon your knee, and, in gen tle tones, ask it if it does not know that it is wrong to iplulge the passion of anger T The answer, iu all eases in which the child has en tirely recovered from its angry mood, and not till then should it ever lie at tempted, will be an affirmative one. Then, with so much ground gained, in a manner suited to its age and capacity, seek to show it that it has offended God, and if so, then it 1ms /tinned ; for nothing but tin can dis- pleaac Him ; and if it 1ms sinned, then it is a tinner ; and, if a sinner, it is guilty in God’* sight, and needs pardon in order to lie restored to His favor and- love. Here the parent may illustrate his or her meaning, by calling up to its mind some past offence against its parent, telling it to reuiemlicr how unhappy it was till it had sought and obtained their forgiveness. In this, or some similar way, children, when very young, may practically under stand tlmt— A youth of eighteen or nineteen years sat at on open window—a look of painftd perplexity in his face, up- Xiarently occasioned by a letter he held in his hand. . After sitting thus fur some mi mites, ho muttered to himself: “ Yes, I must go; if I don’t Brown and Smith will lie laughing at me, and call me righteous overmuch; and after all, there’s uo great harm in it, for I’ll go to church in the morning, and it’s only to tie a sail down the river and s|iend the day in the country,” Still, lie pressed his hand on his foreliesid for uu instunt, then rising hastily, he said: “ There is no uso bothering about it; I must go.” As lie rose, his eye lighted on the setting sun, and us it. did so his w hole expression changed ; a sweet, yet sad look played on bis face—his thoughts were elsewhere—another seene Was liefore his eyes. The dark street hail «lisap|ieaml, and in its stead n nest country cottage had risen. In thought lie was there. Ow-e more he saw the hills that row near that cottage disir; once mote the blue waters of the lake glistened before liim; once more he *ut in the cottage garden with his widowed mother and watched the setting sun. Once more that mother’s words sounded in liis cars—“ John, don’t forget your God, and He’ll not forget you. - Itemeiulier the Sabi Kith day, to keep it holy.’ Though sinners entice you to break it, consent thon not. O, w hen you’re tempted to do wrong don’t forget to pray! Never let the sun go down on a prayerifsn day. May the Gist of the fatherless guide you—may the Isird Jesus Is* your Saviour !* Yes, six month* had (ntssi-d since he heard these words, ami yet they secim-d to sound in bis ears. Tears filled his eyes; and rising, lie folded his hands and kneeled in prayer; then taking up his |a>n, he wrote thus; _ £ “Thanks, Bmvrdffor your invita tion; hut I can not accept it. My dnty to God is to obey His com mauds; and He hath said: • Rcmeni- lier tin' Snlilmth day, to keep it holj.’ 8|iemllug tlie ilay in idle pleasure is not doing this; and I wish yon would think over the subject. and not go yourself.” llow great is the iatliiehre of a pious mother's Word*, llow wonder ful the uttswi-rs to her earnest prayers. Children'8 Department A Little Gentleman. “ Thoir nature'» totally depraved, Tlte heart a sink of mu." pf the United States.” Many parents err, not in that they do not press the subject upon the minds of their children, bat in the manner of doing it. They go abont it in a wrong spirit, or at wrong anti unsuitable times. Their whole conrse is such as to make the subject one of t^sgust to their children. To send for the min ister, and, with the children cooped up in the room m In a sort of prison, teit him to talk to them, for they are getting so had, &o.., Is the surest way to defeat the end in view. In like manner to wait until they have done wrong and worried yon, anti then in this frame of mind, set to and read them a long lecture about their wick edness, is only to put them on the defensive, and to array them against the truth. Religion can’t lie scolded into children or poured down their throats) willing ,or unwilling, ns you do a nauseous laqdicfae. If parents neglect to Instruct and teach their moral truth till they get info S passion, and then, with violent gestures and angry tones, seek to win them to duty and piety, they must not be surprised if their chil dren' grow up, not only with no lore for religion, lmt with a decided arerxion to it, great" whpdren Teach yoar Children how to Pray. Tlie Rev. J. Ityle, s]K-akitig on this subject, says t If jus love your children, do all thut lies in your power to train them up to a habit of prayer. Show them how to liegin. Tell them what to say. Encourage tlieiti to |x*racvere. Remind them of It if they become careless tlr slnck about it. This, n-meinlier, is the first step in religion which a child is able to take. Long liefore he can read, yon can teach him to kneel liy his mother’s side, and repent the simple words of prayer and praise which she puts in his month. Beware lest they get into a hasty, careless and irreverent manner. Never give up the over sight of this matter to servants or nurses, or to your children when left to themselves. Tliat mother dowries no praise who never looks after this most ipi- IKirtant part of her' child's daily life herself. Mothers, surely if there be any habit which your own hand ami eyes should help in forming, it is the* habit of prayer. If you never hear your children pray yourself, you nre much to blame. You are little wistw than the bird de scribed in Job, “ which Ieaveth her eggs in the earth, und warmctli them in the dust, and forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them. 8he is hardened against her young ones, us though they wen-not hers; her labor is in vain without fear." l’ru.ver is, of all habits, the one we redolleet tht* longest. Many a grey headed man could tell you how his mother used to make him pray in the days of childhood. Otlipr things have passed away from his mind, perhaps. Tig* church wlierc he was taken to worship, the ministers whom lie heard preach, the compan ions who used to play with him—all these, it may lie, have passed from his memory and left no mark behind. But you will often find it far different with the first prayers. He will often tie able to tell you where he first knelt, and what he was taught to say, and how his mother looked all tlie while. It will come up as fresh before liis mind's pye as if it was but yesterday. Reader, if you love yotir children, I charge you, do not let tlie need time of a prayerful habit pass away unimproved. If yon train yotir chil dren to anything, train them, at least, to the habit of prayer. My I Ik as Litti.b Headers >- Do yon think the Junior Editor has forgotten his little friends, that he has not written to them mi long t If you do, you are very much mistaken; fur he often thinks of you, and wishes I hi lmd time to talk more with you. Children nre of too much im portance iu this world to lie forgot ten, or treated with indifference. They are I be spice of life ; without them we older people would get so crabbed, and xnllen, and good-for-noth ing, that wo would not lie fit to live. No; though you may think some time* that you are of uo value, uitd wonder wliut you are here for, yet, rest assured thut you are larger, judghig from tlie good you do, than you seem. We said that without you the older ones would get mi cruhtied mid cross-grained that there woitld lie no living with them. Hut this is not all. Without children grown np iieraous would get so tricked that God would destroy the world liecjuise of it.

Men can never fm get, no matter bow wicked they nre, when among rhil- ilren, that they ar i- not fit for beaveu. They see mimcthing in the child with regard to which the Huviour said, “Of such is the kingdom of heaven," that they feel they lack. And this very thought, I’tough it may not load them to Iw-gin a new life, often does keep them from growing worse.

Then lie told them u jumble. Our Saviour, when he was on earth, oftou taught the people by (Kimbles. The parable told tlie little boys, was of a kind man w ho had some very rich nppb*s hanging ti(sm a tree. A (Ksir man was (Kissing by the house of the owner, ami stopped to admire this lH'untiftd apple tree. He counted these rip«‘, golden pippins— there were just seven of them.

The owner had kept one for himself. Dy you think the poor man was grateful for his kindness! No, indeed. He wanted the seven iii|i(iins all for himm*lf; and at last, lie made up his mind that he would watch his oppor tunity, and go back und steal the other apple. “Did ho do that f" said Willie, very indignant. “Ho ought to have been ashamed of himself; ami I ho]s‘ he. got well punished for stealing that apple.” “How many days are tliore in a week, Willie T said his friend. “Seven,” said Wjllie, blushing deeply; for now lie begun to under stand the parable, and lie felt an uneasy sensation nt liis heart—con- science Iw-gun to \vhispcr to him, “And ought not alioy to lio ashamed of himself who is unwilling on the seventh day to lay aside his runuse- nicnts!

I have seen lioys do such things, to the mortification of their mothers mid the annoyance of visitors. Hut my little gentleman had a higher sense of honor and duty. I saw him give up a plaything to his sister, and quiet her when she became noisy. He sat down by tlie lathy on the dour, and showed her pictures till site was tired of looking at them; then he got sotre wooden animat.*, and talked to her nliotit sheep, aud rows, nnd chickens, and so he kept on amusing the baby, first with one thing and then with another, during the whole time of my visit.” “ ‘Why, your little Isiy is u perfect gentleman P 1 said to Mrs. Wont- worth, as I ifas going away. “She looked pleased as she an swered, ‘Yes Frank is a good lioy.’ “I am sure,” went on Aunt Rachel, “that Frank was a hundred times happier for the self-denial he (irac- toxsl in order to keep liis sister and fee baby quiet while his mother talked with a friend, than if lie had been rude, noisy and unkind, ns so many children are; don’t yon think so T” John silently determined that he would net very differently the n*xt time his mother bad a visitor; and on that very day the opportunity came.

They appear to enjoy the contact only when the feet are naked; they don’t attempt to make it when they are socked or slip]iered. Ko the remedy is obvious —keep the baby’s soles covered. Knocking knees the doctor ascribes to a different childish habit, that of sleeping on the side with one tleg tucked into the hollow behind the other. He has found that where one leg has lieen bowed inwards more than the other, the patient has alwuyts slept on one side, nnd the np(ier4osr member has been the most deformed. Here the preventive is to pad the inside of the knees so as to keep them apart »nd let the limbs grow freeJy their own way. — Big rocks look best w hen draped with (Apnetml grapevines, FARMER’3 GUIDE.
