KEEPING THE BRAIN FALLow IN CHILD
HooD.-When we are considering the health
of children, it is imperative not to omit the
importance of keeping their brain tallow, as
it were, for several years of their existence.
The mischiefperpetrated by contrary course
in the shape of bad health, peeyish temper,
and developted vanity, is incurable. Some
infant prodigy, which is a standard of mis-
chief through this neighborhood, misleads
them. But parents may be assured that this
early work is not by any means all gain,
even in the way of work. / suspect is it
loss, and that children who begin their edu-
cation late, as it could be called, will rapid
ly overtake those who have been in harness
long before them. And what advantage can
it be that a child knows more at six years
old than his compeers, especially if this is to
be gained by a sacrifice of health, which may
never been gained2 There may be some
excuse for this early book-work, in the case
of those children who are to live by manual
labor. 1t is worth while, perhaps, TO run
the risk of some physical injury to them
having only their early years in which we
can teach them book knowledge The
chance of mischief, too, will be less-being
more likely to be counteracted by their after
life. But child who is to be at book work
for the first twenty-one years of his life,
what folly it is to exhaust, i'll the least, its
mental energy, which, after all, is its surest
implement.

I. LET ME Kiss HIM FOR HIS MOTHER. y

T. LET ME KISS HIM FOR Hrs MOTHER -
The editor of the New Orleaus AdUocate
has this incident about the ravages of the
yellow fever in that city related to him by
one Of the Methodist pastors
The preacher was called few days since,
to attend the funeral of young man. Be-
fore his sickness, ne was stout buoyant,
manly youth. He was from the State of
Maine, and had been here but q short time
He was attacked by yellow fever, and soon
died, with no mother or relation to watch
by his bedside, or to soothe him with that
sympathy which none but those of our own
"dearest kindred blood can feel or mani
fest He died amoLg strangers and was
buried by them. When the funeral service
was over, and the strange friends who had
ministered to him were about to finally
close the coffin, an old lady who stood by
stopped them and said, Let me kiss him
for his mother" We have yet to find the
first man or woman to whose eye this sim
pie recital has not brought tears.

AErEorINa scENE 1N CouRT.-Jacob shus-

AFFECTING SCENE IN CoURT.-Jacob Shus-
ter, alias Tom Hand, who has spent some
thirty years of his life in prison, was again
convicted in Philadelphia on Friday last
He was charged with forging bank note
plate of the Bank of Delaware County, Pa,
and $40 note on the same institution.
The Enquirer says;
e During the whole trial of the ease the
most lively interest has been manifested in
it by the public, and the Court room has
been crowded from day to day with eager
spectators Among the number who close
ly watched the progress of the trial, were
three daughters of the defendant. They
were genteel, intelligent looking ladies, and
demeaned themselves with marked dignity
and respect towards the Court. Modest
and retiring in their conduct, but watching
with keen, eagle eye, every step taken IN
the case.
During the last stage of the trial they
were near. their father, who was confined in
the dock, as if to protect him from the pow
er of the evidence OF guilt which seemed to
oyerwhelm him. When the jury returned
to court they were near him, and with tear
full eyes and palpitating hearts waited the
result of the verdict, which they dared not
hope would be one of not guilty. When it
was announced, deep cry of anguish es-
capped them, and "Oh, pray, forgive him"
was the only plea offered in his behalf
They clung fondly about his neck, and
though he was stamped as felon, and his
character black with his crimes, yet to those
loving children it was pure and spotless.-
1t was sad sight, and no one who witness
ed it could refrain from tears, not but what
they were satisfied of the justice of the ver-
dict, but the thought that man should so
wilfully hurl his family into disgrace and
infamy by his crimes.

STEEL CAsTINGs.-A method has recently
been devised by which wrought iron can be
melted, and poured into moulds, producing
castings which retain all the toughness
and qualities belonging to wrought Iron.-
Scrap or wrought iron may be employed, or
bars or plates cut into small pieces, these
being melted in crucibles such rs are used
for melting blistered steel. To a charge
suitable in amount to the crucible, one-half
of one per cent. of charcoal (by weight,
one per cent of manganese, and one of red
ammonia are added. The whole is covered
from the atmosphere and melted in tenn
perature of about fifteen hundred degrees
Fahrenheit, which temperature is main
tanned for three hours. The metal is then
poured into the moulds. The iron thus
cast is so malleable ss to be capable of being
treated under the hammer in the forge
and thus part of the iron may be
shaped in moulds and part completed by
forging, producing ornamental work.
