him to take the bath but his master was as
little inclined to rise on this occasion as be-
fore, and moreover felt displeased at being so
hastily summoned from beautiful panto-
mime that was performing in the playhouse
of his brain. But Teddy was not to be put
off or got rid of, and insisted upon his get
ting up. 81 tell you | shall not rise this
morning, sir" said the Earl. But you

such thing" Am l not your master ?"

grace, you are either not awake now, or
you're not sensible of what you're saying;

well that at breakfast you'll be scowlding
me again, as you did yesterday? So come
along, my lerd tits no use your kicking and
bawlng; you must come and battle your
self" Saying which, he quietly took the
Earl up in his arms, as he would have done
a lapdog, and carrying him to the tub, plump
ed him in it. The latter, knowing it was
no use to struggle in such situation, when
the shock was over, called for soap and
towels. At breakfast, the Earl was rather

with the cause, till Teddy came in, who, nod

J Group. We are not going to present
| to our readers new and sovereign remedy
( for the Group; one which never fails until
/ it is tried, and then is found, at the particu-
lar juncture, to be utterly inert or prejudi-
cial. We leave discoveries of this nature
to almanacks, and books on popular medi-
cine. Our design at this time is to call the
attention of mothers to the means of pre-
vention, which they have in their own power.
But first, let us ask them-for however pre-
posterous the question may seem, the con-
| duct of many of them justiies it-When a
child is nearly suffocated or actually dead
from Group does the mother derive conso-
lation in her alarm and grief, Ivy rejecting
that the dear little one has been always
dressed in the latest fashion, with very full
and short sleeves, and low breast? She
may, in reply, accuse Us of sporting with
her feelings-well then, we take the liberty
of telling her, that she trifles with them
herself, and endaHgers, if she does not ac-
tually sacrifice, the life of her child, by lay
ing bare its little bos0m and shoulders,
which are among the most sensitive parts
of the skin. And what is the reason of this
exposure? None. What the excuse? Be-
cause the little dear looks so well in this
dress that is, in fact, because it is made to
look like diminutve woman, new variety
Of the species; neither child nor adult;
neither natural or graceful. Some assign
better motive, viz: in order to accustom
the child to resist the vicissitudes and in
clemencies of the seasons. "The intention,
though good, is not adapted to the variable
climate of this country; and IFS adoption,
the rest of the body being at the same time
covered with warm clothing. renders the
chest more susceptible of injury. Inham-
matory diseases do unquestionably often
arise from this exposure, which might be
avoided, even by a slight covering of muslin.
Lentin, celebrated German physician, as
we'll as many Of our own countrymen, are of
opinion that Group is not unfrequently thus
produced" These remarks of an English
writer, are strictly applicable to our climate
and its Northumberland Of Health.
/ OTIs AND WEBSTER. A Boston cores
pendent of the Portland Advertiser writes
as follows: Mr.. Otis is a ready speaker, and
very fluent. His words are we'll selected
and of the best kind. His style is chaste
and flowing, but not nervous. He is a
pleasanter speaker than Mr.. Webster, but
not so forcible. His pronunciation is Pc
dantically correct, and venture to say he
would not Intentionally mspronounce
word, so much as to say my teltotg citizens"
instead of sine fello,o citizens" to save his
Mayorship. His speaking is very popular
with the Bostonians. His little anecdotes,
stories, illusions to things present, and his
readiness to take advantage of any momen-
tary circumstance which may keep up the
interest of the auditory, are all very taking.
will give you an example: While Mr..
Webster was speaking of the veto message,
he Mr. w took occasion to say, he knew
no road that the Administration would call
national. All roads are in some degree
local; they run over particular territory,
and connected particular districts. No road
ran over every State-no road ran everv-
where, except--except" land here Mr..
Webster Ind w6tind himself up in a SEN

A Russian vessel from the Black Sea
arrived at Constantinoplc early in August,
with seventy beautiful Circassian slaves,
who were bought by the Turkish Lords
at the rate Of 1000 piastres each! The
Turks had feared that the loss Of Anapa
would cut off their supply Of Circassians.
