A PARAGRAPH FOR MOTHERS

A writer 10 Blackwood's Magazine consid
ers the prevailing idea of tougbeuing infants
to enable them to Withstand cold, q disastrous
and destructive treatment. Although it
may be true that young animals have higher
temperature than old ones, yet it is believed
to be fact that the younger the animal tho
feebler its power Of resisting cold. The pre-
cess Of "toughening" may be carried so far
by cold-water bath. and exposures to cold air,
as suddenly and seriouly to chill the vital
current. Exposure to the open air and the
vicssitudes Of the weather in the process of
'toughening' ought not to commence until the
child has obtained the free use Of its limbs,
80 that bis own activity may counteract the
exposure and assist 10 the toughenipg process.
Parents should not commence this system Of
'tougbening' when the child 10 merely pas
sive in their hands. The principle is that the
child must assist by its own activity 10 tho
process Of its hardening. This is the true
line"

mIsCELLANEOUs READING.

II Blizzard" Californian, relates the fol
lowing in an epistle in which he endeayors tc
prove-and does-that anybody can write poe
try -
A KISS, AND ITS consequences.
SAID l. my pretty miss,
Let me have a little kiss"
And reveled in tie bliss,
Rich and mslr;
"Just help yourself to more"
Said she, tripping DER the door,
And backing toward the door
OF the cellar.
Inever saw The trap
Til fell through kr slap,
And you should have seen me drap
Through the hole;
Full twenty feet fell
How struck cannot tell
But sent up such a yell,
On my SOUL
That the girl thought was dying,
And at once SET up crying
For the old man, who was trying,
Not tar off,
To mend broken pump;
He turned, and with ajump
Cleared sled, and tumbled plump
In trough
But what has this 10 do
With the story, which is true
AS the gospel, old or new?
With hop,
He came up; enquired the matter,
whence the screaming and the clatter!'
He had half mind to rap her
On the top
Of her head Sic meekly pointed
Down the steps, where |, disjointed,
Lay, with grease and mud anointed,
On the floor.
Blizzard up those stairs was carried;
Quite month there Blizzard tarried-
In two months was Blizzard married
Nothing more!
