IDIOTS.

Idiocy is arrested development. There
is in all cases deficiency of brain. A
low physical organization. The humane
and accomplished DR. Wilbur says that,
out of a class of twenty pupils. only three
could count ten. Their almost universal
fault was gluttony. Their great want is
the want of attention. Many cannot talk;
it often requires two or three years to ena-
BILE them to utter single word distinctly.
In almost all cases home treatment only
confirms the malady. In three hundred
and fifty-nine cases, all but four originated
in parents who had brought on some con-
frmed disease by the violation of the laws
Of nature. In every instance, the four ex-
cepted, either one or both parents were
either unhealthy, scrofulous, disposed to,
insanity, indulged in animal excesses, or
had married blood relations. Let every
reader commit to memory these FIVE eau
ses, for to have an idiot child, how terrible
the aff1iction More than one. fourth of
three hundred and fifty-nine idiots were
the children of drunkards; one out Of eve
twenty was the child of the marriage of
near relations ; in one such family five chill
dren out of eight were idiotic. If, then,
health, temperance, and chastity are not
duties, then are we iresponsible.-HatPs

Married Life.

The following beautiful and true senti-
ments are from the pen of that charming
writer, Fredrika Bremen, whose, observa-
tions might we'll become rules of life, so
appropriate are they to many of its pha-
ses deceive not one another in small
things nor in great. One little single lie
has, before now, disturbed whole married
life, small cause has often great conse-
quences. Fold not the arms together and
sit idle. "Laziness is the devils cushion"
Do not run much from home Ones own
hearth is of more worth than gold. Many
marriage, my friends, begins like the rosy
morning, and then falls away like snow
wreath. And why, my friends! Because
the married pair neglect to be as well plea
sing to each other after marriage as before.
Endeavor always my children, to please one
another; but at the same time keep God in
your thoughts. Lavish not all your love to
day, for remember that marriage has Its to-
morrow likewise, and its day after to-mor-
row, too. Spare, as one may say, fuel for
the winter. Consider, my daughters, what
the word wife expresses The married wo-
man is the husbands domestic faith in her
hand he must be able to- conafde ,housc-snd
family; be able to entrust to her the kew
ofhis heart, as well as the key of his eat
ing room. His honor and his home are
under her keeping well-being in her
hand. Think of this And you sons, be
faithful husbands, and good fathers of fam
