l, is a startling fact that very few per-
sons are fiji 10 be parents. Every sum
mer we are rendered melancholy by the
terrible record of the sad havoc death
makes among our little ones. These
deaths are mainly attributed to TIE heat.
This is only an indirect cause o. the great
mortality among our children. They do
not get out.ot. door exercise enough, par
tcuIariy in The winter season. The sys-
| tenn OF keeping them muffied up beside
the red hot stoves, in apartments through
which a breath OF fresh air scarcely ever
passes during the cold season, pTedls-
poses them to disease, and the moment
the weather changes and becon es op'
pressive, they sicken and die. Children
are also permitted to eat an abundance O
candies, cakes, nuts, and other trash
which should never find access to thei'
s,onachs; and many parents allow thei
very tender otfsprings the use OF tea ant
coffee. These lndulgences create
morbid state OF the system, which eventu
ally produces severe sickness, and unies
the constitution be particularly robus,
and the medical treatment especially skill
ful, death winds up the affair conclusive
iy. Again, children are not taught To
value Of frequent ablu.ion. There ar
many children in our large cities VIII
ssldom or never feel water, except upo
their hands, faces and feet. With enc
yated nerves. foul s,omachs, and por'
r. stopped up by impure exala,ions, o.
!. children cannot expect 70 thrive when u

From the North Western Christian Adyocat
What il a Man to Preachf

IL may seem strange that man should
ask such a question, tor at first sight the
answer seems to be plain--'Preach the
gospel Yes, more, the answer would
be, preach it in all its features. run il
through oil its Iamifications. Encourage
rebuke, exhor,, and admonish, as the
case may demand. In short, reprove
sin whenever You encounter its trace
But, though duty seems TO be PLAIN, when
governed by the old landmarks, we
seem IN this community to have fallen on
hard times. Such seems 10 be the poli,i-
cal excitement in our midst, and such the
principles ingraf,ed into the platform Of
at least one OF the great political parties
OF our country. and such the tenaciiy OF
the members Of that party to those prin-
ciples, that according to their notions OF
proprlety, the preacher is placed Oh ve-
ry narrow platform Indeed if poiltlcs,
as proclaimed by some in this communal
,y, is TO become the exponent OF gospel
preaching the mos, we can do is to stand
in the pulpit, and cry, Behold the lamb,
for anything beyond that seems to come
in contact with their creed, and OF course
is political Should a preacher dare to
assert anything agains. the traffic Of free
wh,sky,or in favor OF prohlbitIon,it is 'po-
itlcal;' or should he say anything against
human slavery. or even polygamy or any
of the grosser sin. orthe day,it is sure to
strike their platform some where and the
cry is, Down with the black coats; they
are med1llng with politics. yea, more
than that, should a preacher dare to al
lude to some OF the vile effects Of slave
ry. as manifested in the Imprisonment, oi
young lady in Virginia, for no other
crime than that Of teaching some little
children of color the alphabet, he would
be heraided all over town the very next
day, as political preacher; and these
very pious Christians, who, perhaps, had
not entered church for years before
would be clad in deep mourning in con
sequence Of the corruption of the church
Now what Is to be done2 While il il
true that preaching Christ and him cru
cited, and saying, Behold the Lamb,
is doing good work, yet in forme
years, we were taught to believe that i
did not cover The whole case. The apos
tie Paul, In his day, taught Timothy t.
'meekly instruc. those that were oppose'
to themselves And our way Of lhinkin,
formerly, was, that all men by nature
and especially such as upheld the vii
practices of slaveholding, and whisk,
traffic, &c, were sinners, and sinner
stepped in the deepest dye, and that be
fore we would dare to say to such me
Behold the Lamb Of God we ought t
tel. them that they were traitors to Go
and his law, aud to warn them to 'repe,
and be converted, that their sins mlgt
be blot,ed out But times have change
and what are we to dos Are we to cor

CHILDHOOD.

HOW beautiful In chi'hood,
80 full Of witching grace:
The lineaments Of heaven
Are stamped upon its face.
And iife's bright fairest roses
Are strsxn upon it's way,
Shedding around their fragrance,
pispeAing cares away.
How loving, too, is childhood,
II seems that in its heart
Love is planted deep and firm,
Which forms Of life part
Affection deep and fervant
Does DER its senses steal;
ChiidhOod's love is such love
Asonly angels feel.
And ehi,dhooi is fors wing,

Can lind place to rest:
No malice ever reigns within
Fair chiidhood's happy breast,
o, childhood, blessed childhood,
In virtues thou excel:
And innocence 50 ritching,
Shall In thee ever dwell.
Confaing is thy nature, .
Forgiveness is thy pride;
Love, love, is thy ambition.

A Terrible Fight in Virginia.

Gov. Wise's militia had an opportuni-
y OF displaying their readiness to 60 to
battle in defence OF the honor of the
South when the tocsin sounds, one day
last week. Some tesperado in Ports
mouth, Va, had the audacty to raise a
liberty pole upon which he holsted flag
bearing the name of Fremont. A sud-
den tremor appears to have seized upon
the people OF the neighborhood, the May
or summoned the Common Council to
take the matter into consideration, the
militia were ordered out and promply re-
sponded to the call. the citizens turned
out, drums beat, children were frighten-
ed, and women, we have no doubt
screamed. while the negroes grinned and
geese cackled. There was great com
motion In the region of the Disma
Swamp. One man was knocked dowl
in barroom for having had the audaci
ty to defend the right OF n man to erec
liberty pole on his own premises. -
Probably the desperate wretch Will b
ostfacized, like Mr.. Underwood an
Professor Hedrick. Two volunteer CON
panies were put on active duty TO guar
the city against hberty-poles, which wa
removed the next day by the Civil AZ
thorlies while the stars and stripes wel
