WHERE THEY LEARN ITl

A truer picture was never painted than
is represented in the following extract :
Parents act and talk before and to their
children as if the little pitchers" not
only had not the large ears time out Of
mind ascribed to them, but that they
were also blind as we'll as deaf. Many
of our readers will say, after reading
the annexed article, true, every word of
it, for | have seen just such conduct in
families"
"l don't see where my children learn
such things" is one of the most COM
mon phrases in the mothers vocabulary.
A little incident, which we happened
to be an eye witness to, may perhaps
help to solve the enigma. We smiled
a little at the time, we have thought a
good deal since, and we trust not with
out profit.
Bub," screamed little bright eyed
girl, somewhat less than six years of age,
to younger-who was seated on the
curbstone making hasty pudding Of the
mud in the gutter" Bub, you good for
nothing dirty little scamp, you tarnal
imp of a child, come right into the house
this minute, or I'll spank you till the
skin comes off,
"Why, Angelina, dear, what do you
mean, where did you learn such talk e.
exclaimed her mother, in wondering
tone, as she stood on the steps courtesy
ing an adieu to friend.
Angeline looked up very innocently
and answered." Why, mother, you see
we're playing, and he's my little boy,
and I'm scolding him just as you did me
this morning, that's all"
The Pioneer and woman's advocate. (Providence, R.I.) 1852-185?, 1852-07-17
A Pinch too Much.

Men are apt 70 use tobacco by smok'
ing and chewing,-women as snuff
all of them hurtful, and disagreeable tc
those not using tobacco. In the form
of snuff, tobacco injures the voice, and
snuf:takers can be, generally, known by
the sound of their voice. In woman's
paper nothing need be said of the other
forms of using tobacco, as in this coun-
try, females do not smoke or chew this
weed, although in foreign parts smoking
is not confined to the men.
The old proverb, that "many a true
word is spoken in jest" was forcibly il
lustrated few Sundays since. A Free
Church minister in Glasgow, gave out
as the morning lesson, the fourth Sec
ton Of the 1l2th Psalm; and while his
congregation were looking out the "por.
ton" in their Bibles, the DR.. took out
his null, and seizing hasty pinch with
finger and thumb, regaled his nose with
the snuf-he then began the lesson -
My soul cleaveth unto the dust !'-
The litter that ran around the church,
and the confusion of the poor priest.
showed that both the congregation and
he felt the Psalmist's "pinch."

VALUABLE TEsrIMoNY.-We have

VALUABLE TEsrIMoNY.-We have
seen it stated that "Mr. Macready, the
eminent tragedian, now resides at Sher.
borne, in the bosom of most interest
ing family of twelve children. Among
many excellent rules for the government
of his family, is one, from which it is
said he never deviated. 1t is, that no
one of his children should ever, on any
pretence, enter a theatre. or have any
visiting connection with actors or ac-
tresses."
Nobody, perhaps, knows better than
Mr.. Macready, the natural tendency of
theatrical performances, in their inAu-
ence upon the minds and hearts of those
who are in the habit of attending them.
He can say with Lord Chesterfield,
that she has been behind the certain
and smelt the snuff of the candle."-
Yet there are men, who profess to be
moral men, and alas there are not a
few, who call themselves Christian men
who are willing, with their money and
by their presence, to encourage and sup
port these establishments, which, to
thousands of the very flower of the land,
are the gateway which opens into the
chambers Of death. A professional play
actor refusing to allow his children to
attend theatre, ought to mantle the
cheek of the Christian with the burning
blush of shame, who not only allows his
children to attend such exhibitions, but
sanctions the act by going himself

The ATMosPHERE.-The earth does
not move in an ocean of air; it is sur
rounded by the atmosphere to the extent
of about forty-five or fifty miles from its
surface, on every side; it is retained by
the power of gravity, and accompanies
the earth in its diurnal motion on its
axis, and its revolution round the sun.
The atmosphere is elastic, invisible, trans
parent, subtle, expansive and weighty;
it is composed of two simple gases, term
ed oxygen and nitrogen; small proper
ton of carbonic also enters into its com.
position, and aqueous vapor more or less
is in it, which descends in the form of
rain, dew, &c., to the earth, to fructify
and nourish it. The atmosphere is abb
solutely necessary to the support of ami
NAL and vegetable life-the birds that
fly in the open armament of heaven, the
fish that swim in the vast abyss, and the
cattle that Craze on thousand hills, are
all dependent on the atmosphere; and
man is equally dependent on it; the
lungs extract the oxygen, which purifes
the blood. 1t is the food of common
fire; it is necessary to the support
fame and sound; the stiffness of death
would reign throughout universal nature
were it not for the atmosphere. Its re-
Iative proportions are twenty-one parts
of oxygen, and seventy-nine of nitrogen;
and these proportions are preserved
throughout the globe we inhabit. Were
the oxygen gas to prevail considera-
bly, above the nitrogen, the most seri-
Gus consequences might epsue; the oxy-
gen is of that nature, that were the MI
trogen to be entirely extracted, single
spark would be sufficient to set the globe
on fire; thus we see how dependent we
are upon an all.wise and benevolent
for your preservation, that it
is in Him we live, and move, and have
our being.
