VALuAHLE THoUeHTs FOR THE CONFEDERATION
or M0THERs.--Ths MOther's Magazine" for Au-
gust contains aletter to tbs Editor, from Martha
T.. Temple, missionary at Smyrna, from which
give extract, below for the benefit Of those moth
srs who do not see that Journal. There is mon
strous heedIessness-there is criminal neglect, in
regard to the diet and ysical education Of chill
drcn. Every man Of common sense and common
experience knows that will do to feed corn to
eoits-it is too stimulating. 1t would seem that it
might as easily have been found out that Aesa meat
is too stimulating for children. The Eoadness of
the colt for corn aVails nothing with the owner.
Why not be as rational with your children Of how
much more value is a child than a colt!
But here is the extract
Providence has blessed me with two
children, and although they were not en-
trusted to my care at their birth, they
were placed in my hands at a tender aye
and have considered it both my privilege
and duty to endeavor to educate them as
the offspring OF God. 1t has apps AIRED to
me importun; to make them feel that the
pleasure arising from the qualification Of
the appetite, belongs TO brTes, and not 10
men, and that to indulge themselves in
eating or drinking any thing which by
It's quantity or quality is likely to disorder
the system, or render them dull and unfit
for study. which has been their constant
employment, would be sinful. Sustained
as we are by the charities of the church,
both MIR. Temple and myself have con-
sidered il our duty, as well as pleasure, to
con6ns ourselves to an economical style
OF living, and Of course our diet has been
uniformly extremely simple. 10 this,
under the blessing Of God, we ascribe the
uninterrupted and perfect health which
oar children have enjoyed. The eldest,
who had naturally a good constitution,
has been stranger TO sickness. OF any
kind during the last seven years, except
for lew days, when he suffered slightly
from the measles. The Youngest, who
had naturally a feeble and sickly constitu'
tioa. was subject to occasional attacks oil
illness during the first years of MS life,
but after he was confined to a very simple
dial. and restrained from overloadng his
stomach, even with this, they became less
and less frequent, and his constitution
gradually acquired strength, and during
the last four years, he too has been, a
stranger to pain and weakness, exceP
when he suffered slightly Ior a few day:
from the measles. My firm belief IS
Ih1t three fourths, at leas', Of the bodIy
