should be light and cool-a straw
hat answers the purpose very well.
They should never be confined
to their tasks more than six hours
day, and [ am confident they will
learn more IN that time, if properly
managed, than they will in twelve,
without sufficient exercise. Make it
your own case; can you spend even
eight hours In day to any profit? |
think not. The mind becomes wea-
ry, and then nothing is retained
How then can you suppose that the
expanded faculties of children can be
constantly exercised for that length
of time to advantage? Depend upon
it, too much attention is paid to the
culture of the minds of children, and
too little to their bodies. Do not mis-
understand me, or suspect me of un-
dervaluing the former, or over-rating
the latter. Certainly the first can
never make us happy in this world
without the second, mean simply,
that parents are too fond of forcing
genius at an early age, and thus ruin
ing the health I wish to show that
neither should be neglected, and that
the perfect development of the one is
not inconsistent with that of the 9th
er. And | would go one step further:
inasmuch as the chief enjoyments of
this life, and even the full force of
mind and moral energy depend upon
the health of the body; it would be
safer to direct the principal attention
to the latter childhood, than to. run
the risk of its being neglected by un-
due attention to the former.--ReU. Dr..

Empudence Rebuked.

Never was piece of impudence more beau
tlfully rewarded than yesterday, in case which
came under our especial observation. We re-
cord it for the benefit of the rising generation,
as we'll for the benefit Of the generation which
has already risen---for neater rebuke was
never yet administered since the adoption OF
the Federal Constitution. About six o'clock
last evening, two bucks well known about town
for their very "free and easy" department, were
seen stroling upon ST. Charles street, near Ii
voli Circle. They were evidently in search OF
an adventure, if one could be permitted to Judge
from the manner with which they surveyed
every house they passed, as well as every per-
son they met, females especially. The con-
cluslon to which we arrived was, that they had
managed at the dinner table to dcposite an ex-
ira quantity of wine where Tom Moore (poor
Paddy Power, 8" Do you see that vest, Mr..
Wadt?") kept his heart, videlicit, beneath your
vest.
At length they met lady who seemed to
suspect, before she reached them, that their OBJ
ject was to gaze into her face, and as she ap-
preached them she discovered something won
deriully interesting upon the opposite side OF
the street, which she had not fairly surveyed
until the gentlemen (?) had passed her.
81 say, Jack" said one of them with gen.
teel hiccough, "did you see her facet"
mo, didn't; did you!"
"No, but | should like to, devilish well,
shouldn't you? How like Juno she steps on,
and what beautifully shaped woman she is,
isn't she?"
"Fine, upon my soul---I'm bound to see her
face, by Jove; there's nothing like bodness, I'll
go and show her my handkerchief and ask her
if she hant dropped it,"
."Capital! take mine, it's better one--.cost

Education of Girls.

In the first place, females, from
their earliest years should be allowed
those sports and amusements in the
open air, so necessary to proper de-
velopement of their bodies, and which
are now confined entirely to boys
Instead of being compelled to walk
demurely with measured steps, like
so many matrons, they should be en-
couraged in running and romping
even, at suitable times; and that the
motions of their limbs may be uncon-
strained, their dress should be always
loose and easy.
Until girls are fourteen or fifteen
years old, they should be allowed to
play in the open air at least sac hours
every day, when the weather and
season will permit. They should be
allowed to run, leap, throw the ball,
and play at battledore, as they please.
All these exercises call the different
muscles into action, strengthen the
limbs, and impart healthy tone to
the different organs; the blood circu-
lates freely, the nervous system is IN
vigorated, and the redundant fluids
are driven off by perspiration The
most suitable dress is unquestlonably
that which is called Turkish, consist
ing of pantaletts or trowsers, and a
short frock (the latter to be brought
up sufficiently high on the bosom to
prevent the exposure of the shoul-
ders, and the covering for the head

Amarried Mans Reverie.

What blockhead my brother Tom Isl not 10
marry. or rather, perhaps | should say, what a
blockhead, not to marry some twenty-five years
ago, for suppose he'd hardly get any decent
body to take him; as old as he is now Poor
fellow-what fororn desolate kind of life he
leads; no wife TO take care of him-no children
to love him-no domestic enjoyment-nothing
snug and comfortable in his arrangements at
home; nice social dinners; pleasant faces at
breakfast. By the way what the deuce is the
reason my breakfast does not come up? I've
been waiting for it this half hour Oh, | for

some trash or other for Dicks cold She cod
dies that boy TO death.-But after all, | ought
not to find fault with Tom for not getting wife,
for he has lent me good deal of money that
came quite convenient, and suppose the young
ones will get all he's worth when he dies, poor
fellow! They'll want it, I'm afraid, for although
my business does very well, this housekeeping
eats up the profits with such large family as
mine. Let me see; how many mouths have
10 feed every day?-There's my wife and her
two sisters-that's three; and the four boys
seven, and Lucy and Sarah and Jane and
Louisa, gour more--eIeyen, there's the cook
and the houssmaid, and The boy-fourteen; and
the woman that comes every day to wash and
10 do odd Jobs about The house-f(teen; then
there's the nursery maid-sixeen; surel ly there
must be another--I'm sure made it out seven
teen when | was reckoning up last Sunday
morning at Church; there must be another
somewhere; let me see again:-wifs, wlfe's Sis
tiers. boys, girls-oh it's myself!-Faith, I've
so many to think of and 10 provide for, that
forget myself half the time. Yes, that makes
il, seventeen. Seventeen people to feed every
day is no joke! and somehow or other they all
have most furious appetites; but then bless their
hearts, its pleasant TO see them eat, what hav-
oc they do make with the buckwheat cakes Of

Jack took the nicely folded and perfumed
handkerchief, and hastened after the lady, now
nearly square in advance.
81 beg your pardon, madam" said jack, hat
off, 81 think you dropped this"
The lady cast upon him glance from pair
of the keenest black eyes in the world, dropped
ahalf courtesy, took the handkerchief, and with a
freezing 'thank you sir" walked quietly on her
way. The smile, SO exquisitely composed,
which rested upon her lips as she tripped down
the street was perfect diaphragm convulser.

The Sabbath.

Blessings and ten thousand blessings be upon
that day, and myriads of thanks stream up to
the throne of God for this divine and regenera-
ting gift to man. AS have sat in some flow
cry dale, with the sweetness of May around me,
on week day, have thought of the millions
Of immortal creatures toling for their daily life
in factories and shops, amid the whirl of machin-
cry and the greedy craving of mercantile gain,
and suddenly that golden interval Of time has
lain before me, in all its Brightness time, and
a perpetual recurring time, In which the iron
grasp of earthly tyranny is loosed, and Peace,
Faith, and Freedom, the angels of God, come
down once more among men. Ten thousand
blessings on this day. the friend of man and
beast! The bigot would rob it of its heartfelt
freedom on the one hand, and coop man up in
his work-day dungeons, and cause him 10 walk
with downcast eyes and demure steps; and the
libertine would desecrate all its sober decorum
on the other. God, and the sound heart and
sterling sense of Englishmen, preserve it from
both these evils.
Let us still avoid puritan rigdity and French
dissipation. Let our children, and our servants,
and those who toll for US in vaults, and shops,
and factories, between the intervals of solemn
worship have freedom TO walk in the face OF
Heaven and the beauty of earth; for in the great
temple Of nature stand together health and piety
For myself, speak from experience, it has al
ways been my delight TO walk out on Sunday,
and, like Isaac, mediate in the fields, and es-
pecially in the sweet tranquility, and amid the
gathering shadows of evening; and never in
temple or closet did more hallowed influence
fall upon any heart. With the twilight and
hush of earth, a tenderness has stolen upon me;
a love for every creature npon which God has
stamped the wonder of his handiwork, bu: es-
pecially for every child of humanity; and, then,
have been made to feel that there is no ora
tory like that which has Heaven itself for its
roof, and no teaching like the teaching of the
Spirit which created and still overshadows the
world with its wing-Ho,ciH
