THE SWEDISH AUTHORIZES

Miss Fredrika Bremen is now in New York.
Mr.. Chambers in his Journal, thus speaks of this
authoress -
"Fredrika Bremen was born in the year 1902.
After the death of her father, she inhabited
Stockholm for u while, and afterwards spent
some time with friend in Norway. She now
makes her home with her mother and sister, close
to the northern gate of Stockholm, passing her
summers at a neighboring estate called Arsta-
Miss Bremen is decidedly plain. Her spare, sal
low features are, however, lighted up by look
full Of intelligence and sweetness, and her inca.
gre firm is set off by the neat simplicity of her
attire. There is, perhaps, somewhat of the tea

Punch's Charge to the Jury,

Punch's Charge to the Jury.
| We do not suppose any of our presiding
judges would charge jury much like the fol-
lowing, but we can't help raising the question
whittier, in case, they did, their charges would
not, sometimes, be quite as closely followed as
thev are now ?-ED.
Gentlemen of the Jury: You are, IN all
cases, to decide according to evidence at the
same time, if you have any doubt, you are bound
to give the prisoner the benefit Of it. Suppose
you have to pronounce on he guilt or innocence
of a gentleman accused OF felony; you will nat
urally doubt whether any gentleman would com
NIT such offences; accordingly, however strong
may be the testimony against him, you will per-
haps, acquit him. The evidence of your own
senses is, at least, as credtable us that of the
witnesses; if therefore, your eyesight convinces
you that the prisoner is a well-dressed person,
you have right to presume his responsibility {;
and it is for you to say whether respectable
person would be guilty of the crime imputed to
him. In like manner, when you see shabby
looking fellow in the dock charged, for exam
pie, with sheep.stealing, the decision rests with
you, first, whether or not that individual Is rag
muffin, and secondly, how far it is to be suppos.
ed that man of that description would steal
sheep. Of course, as has been beforeosad, YOU
will always be guided by the evidence but,
then, whether the latter is trustworthy or not, is
matter for your private consideration You
may believe it fyou choose, or you may lisbe-
lleve 1t; and whether, gentlemen of the iury,you
will believe or dshclieve it, will depend on the
constitution OF your minds. If your minds arc
so constituted that you wish to find the prisoner
guilty, why, then, very likely, you will disbe
lieve it. You are to free your minds from al
passion and prejudice; but ifyou cannot, yol
will return verdict accordingly. 1t is not
1t strictly speaking, for you to consider what vii
II be the effect of pour verdict; but if such con
'f sideration should occur TO you, and you canno
~ help attending to it, that verdict will be nhuenc
II cd by it to a certain extent.
J. You are probably aware that, when you retire
IS you will be locked up until you contrive to O
IL gree. You may arrive at unanimity by fair dis
;" cnssion, or by some of you starving out the ott
y ers, or by tossing up; and your conclusion,
" whichever of these processes arrived at, will b
more or less in accordance with your oaths.-
Your verdict may be right it is to be hoped
will; it may be wrong; it is to he hoped it wi
not. At all events, gentlemenof the jury, you wi
n come to some conclusion or other, unless it shou
ne so happen that you separate without coming
b. any.

Infants should be carried into the air every day
of the season.
Infants should be nursed at regular intervals,
once in about three hours.
From the time they are weaned until they have
passed the first dentiton, children should be fed
on bread and milk.
Coarse bread is much better for children than
fine.
Children should sleep in separate beds, and
where it is practicable, in separate rooms, and
should not wear night caps.
Children under seven years ofuge should nev
er be confined over six or seven hours IN the house
and that time should be broken by frequent
recesses.
From the time of the first to The second den
:iton, children should be denied animal food.
Children and young people should be made to
hold their heads up, and their shoulders back,
while standing, sitting or walking. The best
beds for children are of hair, or in winter, hair
and coto
AT proper times and in proper places, chill lren

After the second dentition is passed, young
people may eat all sorts Of clean and wholesome
food
Young children should only drink water. One
pint of liquid to person day is sufficient fuI

cheerful labor; we did not guess its essence un-

"All things are equal to the heart that bears
A faith unbanching through earth's thousand

phatcaly, as o. every duty Of man, "Knowing
these things, happy are ye If ye do them."
- REMEMBER, when storms lower, and
wintry winds Cypress thee, that Nature, dear
goddess, is beautiful, always beautiful! Every
little fake of SHOW is such perfect crystal, and
they fall together so gracefully, rs if fairies of

artificial flowers to garland the wings of the

even one human soul should dimy perceive the
beauty that is ever around lis, "a perpetual ben.
cdiction." Nature, that great missionary Of the
Most High, breaches 10 us forever in all tones of
love, and writes truth in al culors, on manuscripts
illuminated with stars and flowers. If we were
in harmony with the ,chole, we might understand
her. Here and there a SPIRIT less at discord,
hears semi-tones in the ocean and wind and
when the stars look into his heart, he is stirred
with dim recollection of n universal language,
which would reveal all, if he only remembered
the alphabet

THE MAIDEN's PRAYER.

THE MALDEN'S FRA 6kA'
At eve, heard the voice of pray'r,
In acc nts soft and owb
1t gently rose upon the air,
As incense sweet and holy.
/ stood as spelI-bound to the place,
Filled with holy feeling;
And then, toward heav'n, with upward face,
saw the Maiden kneeling.
Twas in the quiet, peaceful grove,
When Autumn winds were signing;
When budding leaves had whispered love,
But now were dead and dying.
Her out.streched hands we're raised on high,
With her Redeemer pleading;
The tear-drop gist'ning in her eye,
She, trusting, frail and needing.
Then, In the stiffness of that hour,
Angels lowered DER her;
And while she sought protecting pow'r,
Sweet consolation bore her.
She pay'd,-but not for length IF days,
Nor vet for earthly treasure;
She wisll'd to walk in wisdom's ways,
For there were life and pleasure.
This was the burden of her prayer,
In accents soft and lowly:
"Lord, help me from the Tempter's snare,
NJ Thoughts make pure and holy;
o, guide me in the blessed way,
Thou great, Almighty Giver;
Be thou my strength from day 10 day,
My hope and joy forever" Err. M

Stern death is on our track,
Though noiseless he may be;
Whatever wIndings we may make,
We cannot from him fee.

In foIly's binding way,
In virtues paths, by many trod,

And though we see him not,
Nor can his footsteps hear,
We shall be his, for It's our lot
To grace his sable bier. ERIN
