PATIENCE AND lNFRMiTY.--From the
moment that child becomes subject to any
infmity, a special relation between him
and his mother begins to exist and their
confidence must become special. She
must watch for, or make occasion for speak
ing to him about his particular trial-not
often, nor much at time, but so as to leave
an opening for the pouring out Of his little
heart. Ii he is not yet conscious of his pc
culiarity, this is the gentlest and easiest way
in which he can be made 10. IL he is con-
sciouS, he must have some pain at his heart,
which he will be the better for confding.
Hump-backed people are generally said 10
be vain, naughty, fond Of dress, forward, and
laxative, irritable and passionate If not
so, they are usually shy and timid. Moth
ing can be seen in their peculiarly to cause
the hrst.mentioned tendencies, and il is be-
lieved they arise from mismanagement of
their case. The fond mother and plying
friends may naturally forget that the child
does not see hinlselfas they see him, and

appearance-letting him know that he has
pretty hair, or good eyes, They may even
dress him fine to make up 10 him in one
way for his faults OF appearance in another.
Under the idea Of encouraging him under
his supposed notifications they NAV lead
him on TO be forward and talkative. And
then again his notifications, when they
come upon him unprepared, may well make
him irascible. How much OF this might
be obviated, as well as the shyness and IL
nudity Of those who are left to themselves
by timely confidence between the mother and
child When they are alone together.
calm and quiet, let her tell him that he
does not look less like other people as he
grows older. Never let her tell him that
this is Of no great conseluence--never let
her utter the cant that is talked to Young Ia
dies at schools that the charms OF the mind
are every thing, and those Of the form and
face nothing. This Is not true, and she
ought to know that it il not, and nothing but
truth will be strong enough to support him
in what he must undergo. Let her not be
afraid to tell him the worst. He had bet
ter hear it from her; and it will not be TOO
much for him if told in spirit of cheerful
patience. The child, like the man. never
has happier hour than that which succeeds
the reception Of bad news, if the noble "a
culties are allowed their fair play.
EscAPE.--There is always a strong re-
action of the mind when a man, however
brave, has escaped from danger that an
pears imminent. What warrior is not glad
when the battle is Overt What sailor does
not rejoice when the storm is past? Does
not even the hun;sman feel il when he has
safely surmounted some dangerous leap?
But, above all, when the earth has rocked
under the feet, when the mountains have
been bowed down to the valleys, when the
crash Of falling cliffs and the rattle Of the
earthquake have sounded in the ear, then.
the moment that convulsed and heaying
Nature has resumed her tranquility, does
