be known, they ounht TO be even thus
published, for it is gricvous when that
all but angelic sentiment. the sense Of
maternal duty, is perverted to exncse
to the double danger ola drlmkurd's s hab-
its, the mother aud the child.
There are other practices of the nurse

lids laced by the fine threads of healthy
Llood matched by nothing but Heavens
own clear azurc,--thc lightly hcaving
breast that no passionate dream yet con-

the object that inspired them, and despair
! spreads upon her desolatc bosom the
! waveless calm of misery. If she seek
in this season of sorrow for the world 5
sympathy and find it, her sorrows arc
soothcd and allayed; but if she seek and
find it not, her stricken heart shrinks
back dismayed at the extent of her loss,
and she is made to feel that in her cx-
trcmcst need, she is left to stem the cur
rent of an unfeeling world, with no pilot
hut inexpericnce, no compass but de-
spair. If however, her iortltude beal
! her ND and cause her to rise superior tc
misfortune. and if through the effects oI
a well regulated mind, she succeeds in
RESTORING herself TO calmness and Sc
renitv. there will not be wanting those
who will trace it to forgotten affection ol
desire for new conquest. If subdued
in feeling; with a heart smittcn too sore
" bv misfortune, she yields herself ar
nnrcssting victim to the storm, there vii
lie found others who coldly chidc her fol
!, Inducing morbid sensbility and unavail-
ino sorrow.
