Of the Pitts burg Journal and Visitor, is now
the champion Of "chidrcn's rights ii
VIC are not in error, il is the advent Of a
little one" into her own family circle, that
has aroused her sympathcs, and suggested
new themes for her generous pen. In /
long article on this new and interesting
subject, She seems to be getting at the foun-
daton oi the rights and wrongs Of humanl,

''A child begins to have rights before IL
Is born and when this fact comes to be nm

Of spinal complaints, who have travelled

years, exhibiting pack-horse load Of dry

patent body brace, have no kind of right
to be mothers; and those spoiled specimens
OF humanity, who make their mouths, stom-
achs and brains. reservoirs for tobacco, rum

Here begins the wrongs OF children. It's
all wrong that they should be born with
the germs Of disease and misery in their
bodies, implanted there by the vanity and
selfish indulgence Of parents.
