juices Of ilial contempt.
Parents who covet such children 40
these can always have them, by induls-
ing them in infancy, excusing their DISC
bedience in early childhood, neglecting
their proper moral culture in the nursery
and by giving them over to their asso-
cistes in the streets as soon as they
are large enough to keep out OF the
way of physical dangers. Then il
will be useless in a short time to warn
them against ''laie hours" slow houses"
" degrading vices" "criminal tempta-
tons" for they are already among the
initiated. The very seeds of moral death
are sown in these young hearts and their
characters formed in vice while their pa
rents are struggling most anxiously to
provide for their future comforts. Mother,
refrain from teaching obedience to your
infant sons and daughters and prepare
your heart for the bitter anguish of neg
lected mother. Father, leave your chill
dren to take care of themselves, while
you build fortunes for your old age and
their majority, and expect to see that
fortune wasted in prodigality or swsl-
lowed up in the very lazarettoes of moral
death.
Do you covet children who shall be 70

tied patrimony, and you may hope with

THE MORAL TRAINING OF CHIL
DREN.

That parent who does not care for his
own children is wanting in one of the es-
sential elements of humanity. Almost
the entire brute creation are his superiors
in. natural affection. The providence of
very many races of animals in laying up
store for the future wants of their off
spring is somewhat remarkable. The
worm and the bee provides in the crysa-
lis the food for the unhedged insect; the
fowls of the air, the fishes of the seas, the
reptiles of the marshes, the forest kings in
their lairs, the whole teeming population
of the fields and forests, show their affec-
ton for their young by their constant ex-
ertions to protect, to nourish and mature
those of their kind which they have
brought into existence.
1t is not wonderful that man, the crown
ing work of all terrestrial life, should pos
sess this affection in higher degree than
all other animals. A higher incentive
than the mere instinct of his nature ought
TO actuate him. 1t rests upon the idea OF
duty-naoraI obligation, inseparable from
his being.
Parents are anzious for their children,
and this anxiety shows itself in the sacri-
fees they are always ready to make for
them. The father tolls early and late to
store fortune for them the mother with
nightly vigils and daily cares grows pre-.
maturely old in her anxiety for them.
And how frequently are their gray hairs
multiplied by the unkind returns of those
for whom they have thus labored and
watched! An undutiful child, how un-
natural Parents should not deceive
themselves such erratic characters, un-
true to all the nobler sentiments and at
fections that bind parent to child and
child to parent, are not without their le-
giiimate parentage. Hsbitual disobedi-
ence is the natural result of over indul-
geuce The child at three years old
who has not learned to obey will be res
tive under parental authority at nine, and
master at home at twelve, and ready to
eject his parents from home at twenty.
All this may take place exactly in con-
formity with the development of mind
and body. The pampered child grows to
be human animal. Those moral sus-
capabilities, mighty regulators to human
force, have been left dwarfs in their very
infancy, and the intellect reels under the
crushing weight of unbridled WH. This
will becomes the tyrant 10 execute all the
mandates of the baser passions, and places
its crushing heel upon every struggling
aspiration of the nobler manhood. Thus
in the pride of his heart, the young man
of parental fortune, but without a soul, be-
comes ashamed of q fathers wrlnkled
face, calls his sober counselS puerile,
deems his mother 90 foolish old woman
who knows nothing of the world, and
himself as the embodiment of all the sa-
gacily and availible wisdom that has
come down from generations of ancestors.
This wisdom is all concentrated upon the
point Of personal qualification, his sagaci-
iy in eluding every restraint.

WHY SHOULD ANIMALS BIZ SHELL
TEREDf

The readers ofthe Farmer know, or
ought 10 know, for we have told them of.
ten enough, that animals housed or kept un.
der good shelter, and warm, require less
food than those exposed to cold, but all,
perhaps, do not know the reason why.
Animal heat is produced by the decom.
position, or, chemically speaking, cons5Hs.
tiOn of the food in the stomach. by oxygen
drawnintothe lungs by breathing. Oxygen
is simple element, which combines with
every thing animate or inanimate. 1t Is
always positively charged with electricity,
and by some is considered form of elsc-
tricity. Its action in the decomposition
of food in the stomach, is the source of ami
NAL heat, and combustion as properly
takes place in the stomach, by the action
ofoxygen on the carbon, or food, as if the
same were burnt in an ordinary 6re; and
gives out exactly as much heat. Ths
combustion in the stomach, however, is
slower, and the heat longer in developing
itself.
Oxygen will consume all things with
which it comes in contact. 1t constitutes
portion ofthe atmosphere, and is con-
:inually inhaled by breathing. An adult
person males about thirty-two ounces Off
daily. which, unless there be constant
supply of carbon kept on hand, in the
form Of food, for it to act upon, will con-
sumo the body itself, and thus the sourss
oflife becomes the cause fdeath.
The food is the part to supply animal
warmth. 10 winter, when we exercise
in the cold air, and the amout of oxygen
in consequence ofthe contraction ofthe air
by cold, that we inhale is increased, the
necessity of food to supply the carbon con-
sumed increases in the same ratio, and
by gratifying the appetite we furnish
fuel, that insures protection from cold.
AtsarTing man freezes withhalfthecold
that would freeze a well fed person, be-
cause he has not fuel to keep up the in
ternal fires.
Our clothing is an equivalent fer 8 Por.
ton offood, as this external protection from
cold, renders necessary less internal FIRE
to keep up the natural temperature of the
body. So with animals, the natural TEN.
perature of their bodies has to be kept up,
and if fexposed to cold, more fuel, in the
form of food, is required than ifthey were
kept warm.
On this same principle, man requires
one eighth more food in winter than in
summer, to keep up the internal FIRE thai
preserves the temperature of his body, in
cold weather, the same as it is in sum

The Sixth Poor Traveller was the little
widow. She had been sitting by herself
in the darkest corner of the room all
this time; her pale face often turned
anxiously towards the door, and her hol-
low eyes watching restlessly, as if she
expected some one TO appear. She was
very quiet, very grateful for any little
kindness, very meek in the midst of her
wildness. There was a strained express
sion in her eyes, and certain excited
air about her altogether, that was very
near insanity; it seemed as if she had
once been terri6edby some sudden shock,
to the verge of madness.
When her turn came to speak, she
began In a low voice her eyes still
glancing towards the door-and spoke
as if to herself rather than US speaking
low but rapidly--somewhat like SOM
nambule repeating lesson:
They advised me not to marry him,

-unprincipled-bad but L did not care
for what they said. loved him, and l
di-believed them. l never thought about
his goodness only knew that he was
beautiful and gifted beyond all that l
had ever met with in our narrow society.
loved him with no passing school girl
fancy, but with my whole heart-my
whole soul. l had no life, no Joy, no
hope without him, and heaven would
have been no heaven to me if he had not
been there. l say all this, simply to
show what madness of devotion mine
was.
My dear mother was very kind 10 me
throughout. Sle had loved my father,
believe, almost to the same extent; SO
that she could sympathize with me even
while discouraging. She told me that
Twas wrong and foolish, and that should
repent but l kissed away the painful
lines between her eyes, and made her
smile when tried to prove to her that
love was better than prudence. So we
married: not SO much without the con-
sent as against the wish of my family
and even that wish was withheld in sor
row and in love. l remember all this

THE SEARCH.
Br JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.


1 went to seek for Christ,
And Nature seemed so fair,
That first the woods and fields my youth snticed'
And sure to find him there:
The temple IfOrsOok,
And to the solitude
Allegiance paid but winter came and shook
The crown and purple from my wood
His SHOWS like desert sands, with scornful drift,
Beseiged the colunn'd aisle and palace gate
Ny Thebes, cut down with many solemn rift,
But eptaphed her own sepulchred state:
Then remembered whom went to seek,
And bless d blunt winter for his council bleak.
Back to the world turned,
For Christ, 1 said, is King;
So the cramp'd alley and the hut spurn'dI
As far beneath His sojourning.
Mid power and wealth sought,
But found no trace of him.
And all the costly offerings had brought
With sudden rust and mould grew dim
found his tomb, indeed where, by their laws
All must on stated days themselves lmprisoni
Mocking with bread a dead creed's grinning jaws,
witless how long the life had thence ariseni
Due sacrifice to this they set apart,
Prizing it more than Christ's own living heart
So from my feet the dust
OF the proud world shock;
Then came dear Love and shared with me his crust,
And half my sorrows burden took
After the worlds soft bed,
Its rich and dainty fare,
Like down seem'd Loves coarse pillow to NY head,
His cheap food seem'd as mamma rare
Fresh trodden prints of bare and bleeding feet,
Turn'd to the needless city whence came,
Hard by saw /; and springs Of worship sweet
Gushd from my cleft heart smitten by the same;
Love look'd me in the face and spake ne words,
But straigh knew those foot prints were the Lords
followed where they led,
And in a hovel rude,
With nOught TO fence the weather from his head,
The King 1 sought for meekly stood
naked. hungry child
Clung round his gracious knee,
And poor hunted slave look'd up and smiled
To bless the smile that set him free;
New miracles / saw his presence do,-
No more knew the hoyel bare and poor;
The gather,d chips into a woodpile grew,
The broken morsel swelld TO goody store;
I knelt and wept my Christ no more seek
His throne is with the outcast and the weak.
