WHAT WILL RUN CnrLDRry-To have
parents exercise partiaity. This practice
is lamentably prevalent. The first horn,
the only son or daughter, the beauty or
wit of a household, is too commonly set
apart. JosephIike.
To be frequently put out of temper.
A child ouhht always to be spared, as far
as possih'e, all just cause of irritation, and
never be punished for wrong dongs, by
taunts, cuffs, or ridcule.
To be suffered to 20 uncorrcctcl to-day
for the very thing for which chastiscmcnt
was inflicted yesterday. With as much
reason might watch which should he
wound backward half the time, be expect
ed to run as well, as a child thus trained
become possessed of an e,tmaole charlc-
ter.
To be corrected for accidental faults
with the same severity rs if they were
those Of intention. The child who does i'll
WREN he meant to dc well, merits piiy,not
upbrading. The disappointment to the
young protector, attendant on the disas-
trous failure of any little enterprise, is OF
itself sufficient punishment, even were
the result brought about by carelessness.
To add more is as cruel rs It is hurtfnl.
To be made to feel that they were only
burdens. Parents who give chill to
understand that he is burden,ome to them,
need not be surprised should they one day
bo given to understand that they are
burdcnsome to him. They should bear
with childhood.

"A young lady, being addressed by a
gentleman much older than herslf, obser-
we'd to him, the only objection she had to a
union with him. was the probability of his
dying before her, and leaving her to feel
the SORROWS of widowhood. To which he
made the following ingenious and compi-
mentary reply: Blessed is the man who
has virtuous wife, for ais days shall be
doubled"

POISONING Dy PANT.-M. de Calvi has
expcrimentally demonstrated that the
cases of poisoning by remaining in newly
painted rooms are not due as has hitherto
been supposed, to the the white lead, but
to the vapors of the oil Of turpentine Ac-
cording TO his statement, the effect will be
the same, whether the paint employed is
lead, zinc, or othor pigment, so long as the
oil of turpentine, or any of its analogics,
is employed as the medium. NJ. de CAL
vi compares this kind of poisoning to that
which is due to emanations from flowers,
and proposes to treat it by the energetic
employment of stimulauts.
A kindred medical point to the above
is that Of poisoning by arsenic contained
in paperhangincs. DR.. Taylor, in his ev-
idenco before the Select Committee of the
House of Lords, on tho Sale Of Poisons
bill, after pointing out that arsenic was
much used in several manufactures, such
as the manufacture Of glass, especially Of
opal glass of shot, in The sleeping of grain
and in killing the fly in sheep, states that
the largest quantity of arsenic used in
England is used for the manufacture Of
paper for covering walls. lie considered
it very injurious both to those living in
the houses papcrcd with the article, "a
well as those employed in the manufacture.
An instance was published, IN Il medical
work, of some cases of illness occurring to
persons living in a room paperei with this
kind Of paper, and the effects werA de-
cribcd as those arising from arsenic, The
color, says DR.. Taylor, is put On very
loosely indeed it contains nearly G,ty
per cent. Of poison.

House, Mr. Branch of North Carolina objected
to the Indian Appropriation bill, because it
Includes appropriations for carrying into ef.
