Irish Gnls.-A recent traveller, in an &C.
count of tour through Ireland remarking upon
the comeness and chastity of Irish females,
characteristics freely ascrbed to them the world
over, says:
"It was with some surprise, and not a little
satisfaction, that made the discovery of tile
remarkable comeliness of the young woman Of
Ireland. This comeness was frequent and
individual specimens, attained the standard of
almost faultIess beauty-and this not merely
in features, but in form and department. 1t
was no slight pleasure to meet one of those
rustic maidens of a morning tripping joyously
al ong the turfin her bright colored shawl, with
her small and well shaped feet and ankle, un-
fettered by shoe or stocking her little, upright
carriage, and her profuse, glossy and we'll arran-
ged locks, and this pleasure was not little
enhanced, when a salutation or a question
brought out, as it did at once, her modest smile
aud her pretty brogue. 1t is another tribute
Justly due to the young women OF Ireland, to
record their singular decorum and modesty of
demeanor and the general propriety ofconduct.
] do not hesitate for a moment in giving to
them decidedly the palm, in these particulars,
over the rustic damsels of both England and
Scotland. Unmarried mothers are, believe,
quite rarity in Ireland-a thing which, fear,
cannot be said of any other portion Of the three
kingdoms"
If one wishes to have some sketches ofthese
beautiful traits of the Irish women--the poor
he will find them in Thackeray's Sketches of
Ireland.

Increased ActirUy-Within the two weeks
just past there has taken place most wonder
full change in the appearance Of our streets and
the persons whom one meets in them. Each
day this change has increased and been more
marked in its characteristics The silent,
gloomy and desolate aspect Of even our bus~
ness thoroughfares was then remarkable, and
the few persons who were seen abroad in them
wore on their countenances the evident traces
of anxiety, grief and almost hopelessness.-
But now, even at this early period Of the sca-
son, during the business portion of the day,
there is almost the old fashioned hurrying to
and fro, the mechanics to their labor, the bro
kers and clerks lodging about the corners, and
the whole community seems active. The air
of returning hope and cheerfuIness on the fa~
ces of the passers-by is still more pleasant
augury that the worst has passed. and that our
sorey afflicted community breathes freer. that
hope has revived and that the usual occupations
of life have once again engaged the attention
of our citizens-P Picarune.

UAmong parcel of old government lum-
ber recently ordered to be sold at auction to
the highest bidder, in Paris, was the identical
guilotine of the horrible Reign of Terror, and
the basket belonging to it, into which the heads
of the victims--from ten to hundred per day
dropped, under the bloody system of Robes
pierre, including the head of that heartless
butcher himself. This horrible machine, frame
work, sliding knife, and basket, certified by a
government office, were sold at public auction,
before an immense crowd of spectators, for
fifty francs, and directly after the articles were
committed to bonfire, amid the cheers of the
people. The guillotine of Robespierre, pre-
served among the relics of the first French
revolution for more than half century, and
then sold at so francs!

PIAQUEMINE PARISH Ia. OCTOBER 8
Sleep Of Tnfants.

| have already spoken Incidentally in regard
to the sleep Of infants, but it may te well for
me here TO add few words
The sleep of infants and young children
should ordinarily come from natural tendency
to repose, prompted by proper nursing, food
and exercise
| 1t may be proper, it is true, oftcntmes to
soothe them TO repose by gentle founding, Or
the soft lul.iug notes Of some nursery air, or, if
4 cradle with rocker is used, by its gentle mo-
! tom but if these do not quickly succeed in
producing the desired effect, it is usually best
to deslst for a time from further efforts.
1t Is astonishing to witness the perseverance
of some mothers in their effort to cause their
children to 90 to sleep ut any time that will
suit their convenience and painful TO be Il spec
tator of the unhappy feelings sometimes produ-
ced in the infant BY such l.-adviscd measures.
1t may be regarded as a very mmaterial mat
ter whether cradles with rockers are used or
not. The gentle motion sometimes appears to
be very soothing, and see no objection to its
occasional employment; but if one i, used, care
should be taken not to rock it after the babe is
asleep.
When laid down to sleep. their eyes should
always be protected from bright light both by
day aud by night by day they should be turned
away from the windows, and at night from the
lamps.
Their faces should neverbe covered or imbed-
ded in the pillow, SO as to obstruct their breath
ing.
1t is better that they should be laid upon one
side, and not upon the back.
When sleeping, they should not be inten-
tionaly awakened without good reason.
When sleeping, they should be covered with
sufficient clothing to protect them entirely
from the slightest cold, and at the same time,
care must taken against laying them down, in
the daytime especially, with so much clothing
upon and over them as to throw them into a
profuse and debiltating perspiraton, as is quite
too often done by young mothers.
In cold, and also in the temperate, climates, |
beds of fetahers are very allowable, but not SO
in warm.
The bedrooms of children should be large
and airy. To say that they should be kept
clean with scrupulous care is unnecessary.
They should be kept quiet, but not too much
80.
II is desirable that no plants should be kept
n their sleepng-room.
At night, young infants, especially if feeble,
should keep in the same beds with their mo-
hers.
This is particularly important during the
Older seasons Of the year, and where the room
S not kept of uniform temperature through
tut the whole night, as it is through the day.
But under other circumstances, and after
hey are several months old, it may be well to
ave them occupy small cots by themselves;
he cots, for convenience sake, being placed by
ha he'd side of tha rnothar
do not give these directions thoughtIessly
r without good reason; they are not only u
reeabe to the instincts of nature, but in accor
ance with the dictates of common sense and
ound philosophy hy.--Dr. Tracy.
