Physical Education of Childrel

Physical Education of Children.
In an article written for the Electric Journal
of Commerce, by Ms. Davis M. D. on the phys
ical education of children, there is at the con-
cuson, this invaluable advice, to which all moth
ers should give heed.
"Iet their sweetmeats and coffee be replaced
with good milk bread and meat Instead ofthn
shoes, naked arms, necks and chest, let them
have full dress of warm clothing, so loosely put
on, that every muscle shall be free to act, as ia
ture designed it. Instead Ci the confined air of
the nursery and that still worse Of the school
room, let eve:y day find them in the fields on
the hill sides, or by the murmuring brook, ex-
panding their chests, by free inspirations ofpure
air, invigorating their muscles, by chasing the
hoop, bounding the ball, and Jumping the rope
while both the intellectual and moral faculties
are taking lessons of intense interest from every
bird, and insect, and opening flower. The mar
row chest and feeble muscles, habitually sub
iected to such regimen and exercise. would rap
idly expand and acquire vigor while the pure
and impressive lessons of morality, drawn IRON
| the harmony and beauty of Natures own works
would admirably prepare the mind for more rig
id discipline"

THE MOCK1NG BIRD.
A Mocking Birds building his nest in the tree,
Tho oln tree that swings by the side of the gate
His labor he lightens with heart stirring gee,
And trietb his mate both early and late.
With sweetest assembling,
His roundelays mngllns-
Now, full toned and free
The ricn notes are soaring;
Like the full sounding sea
Its pillows oulpourlng
Hark halk
'Tis the Lark
How the full notes aspire
Ever higher and higher,
Swells 70 the skies, the soul stirring strain
Sweet little Mocking Bird, sing it again
Dear little Wren, thy songs are repeated.
Swelling to heaven, how sweetIy they rise
In strains ofpure clearness, our love Is entreatea
And tears bubble up from the heart to the eyes
Soft as an echo
1t thrills OIL the air;
Like the gift Of blessing,
Or pean of prayer;
Plainlive, yet Clear
The smile, and the tear,
Minole their wealth in the sweet swelling strain
Sweet little Mocking Bird, sing it again
All ba, to the Bob-o.link that pert little iellow
VINO cbatters his music the merry day thro'
Now shrilI as a whislle,n now dove-lke and mellow
The soul of true melody dwelleth with you
Merrily, menlIy,
Gusheth the song;
Cheerily, cheerIy,
Rushing along
Chattering,
Flatterng,
Iover-Gke, fairy -like-st to the strain
Sweet little Mockng Bird, sing it again!
Now tits the Wood Dove, so paintively singing
Rocking tile blossoms that tassc the oough
The soft-slghng notes on her rosary stringng
Like some little Novice repeating her VOW
In the hush of the eve,
1t stirreth the air;
Like the heart gushing plant
Of penitents prayer,
Mournful and low,
Its cadences how

tons of youthful female loneliness, and
all are truly interesting. We have been
so, pleased with one or two OF the coniri-
buttons in these numbers that, w Mr.
Godey's- leave, we will shortly prcscu;
Them to our own readers. Speaking Of
the success Of his Book, Mr. Cooley says
| in his April number:
" We commenced the year with 10000
copies. We found the orders coming in
so fast, that we Immediately printed TO-
900 more. They still continued we IN
creased The edition to 10000. We then
had to reprint 5000 more, and within he
|! last week, we put to press another edition
Of ,. 800"
In these numbers, T. S. Arthur, with
whom "rhe moral always adorns tic tale
as usual combines the really instructive
with the entertaining in his story Of the
Surprise Party" We always liked
Mr.. Arthur's writings. They are not
ambitious, but they are good, and never
| fail to leave the reader with right feelings
and impressions. Once now and then
we can find fault with his too vernacuar
dic,ion. For instance " it had like " is
rather 4 hard sentence TO parse, much
harder than " it was likely" Again,
people sometimes " indulge" their wives
and children, but they Indulge in" lolIes,
outrages, etc. Kate Sunderland has
good story The April Fool" which be-
ing seasonabe, we will publish in our
next.

EgW We call The especial attention OF
the reader to the translated extract on our
first page, from a recent speech OF Victor
Hugo before the French Assembly. 1t
was delivered on the occasion Of the dis
cussion of the projrt Of law mlrodu-
ced by NJ. de Falloux, contemplating
the primary instruction of the French
people by the Catholic clergy. So pro-
found was the excitement occasloned by
it, and so fearful were the priesthood OF
its effect on the people, that the Govern
ment, pandering 10 the clergy, has pro.
hibited its circulation. We are sure that
every American heart will beat in respon-
sive sympathy with the bold and eloquent
Frenchman and send up heartful prayer
that the sacred cause Of education in our
Sister Republic of France might be kept
eh'ectualIy from the charge Of men, who
only seek the charge to belray ii. Only
upon education, rightly conducted, can
the hopes of France for permanent civil
and religious liberty be confidently found

The Canal.

The people of Allegheny seem TO be
verv unfortunate. From the earliest re-
collection to the present moment, they
nave been constantly meeting with severe
losses. Firstly, they were swindled up
on a large scale, in the matter Of Canal
Scrip. Secondly, they were robbed to
The extent of thousands, by the Kreb's
failure. Thirdly, they were plunged into
difficulty BY the bankruptcy of The orgi
nal Mount Savage Company, and also by
the sudden explosion Of the Forbes spec
ulalion. We are now called upon to la
mem another and no less serious pccunia-
" disaster. We understand, that Hunt
er, Harris & Co., who contracted and I'M
dertook at a recent date, to complete the
unfinished portion of the Canal TO this
place, have thrown up the work and APP
pointed Trustee. We also understand
that this result was brought about by I'M
posing upon these gentlemen the necessi-
~ of doing vast quantity of extra work
work not embraced by their contract
and that, therefore, they are not to be
blamed for the step which they have Ia
ken. We apprehend evil consequences
TO many, from this course of action, no
matter how it may have been producted.
for we know the fact that acceptanccs to
the amount of 500, 600 at least, are held
by our citizens, and cannot now be paid.
We are therefore, extremely sorry that
the Legislature refused 10 make some pro.
vision 10 relieve these gentlemen from the
unpleasant dilemma in which they were
unjustly placed, and thus enable them to
reap the fruits and 10 realize the benefits
which their vast undertaking and grand
and noble enterprise entitled them TO ex-
pect, and we hope that their exertions to
finish this great work will not forever 90
