Classcs of Childhood.

The S. +. Bulletin gives the following sy-
nopsis of the fifth lecture before the Mer
camille Library Association, San Francisco
bv. T. w. Freelon, on Classics of Childhoed
The subject is one of great interest. Many
books and reviews have more or less directly
treated upon it, and it was therefore to have
been expected that the speaker would find nc
lack of material. Instead, however, of treat
ing upon the stories which have formed the
groundwork of almost every enlightened
mans education, the greater portion of the
lecture was mere defamation. 1t was only
towards the close that a few remarks were
made about the nursery stories of Cinderella,
Blue Beard, Puss in Boots, Little Red Rid
ing Hood, Jack the Giant Killer, and others.
1t was claimed by the speaker that infan--
cy had been disregarded by the Asatic and
Southern European nations, and that it was
left to the people of the North to sanctify it.
1t was among them that the nursery tales
had sprung up, and being interviewer in the
education of the people, and exercised great
influence upon its literature and character.
In the works of Milton, Bunvan, Byron.
and Others, were to be found numberless il
lustrations drawn from the nursery The
writer or actor who could recall and re-
impress the early stories of youth was enti-
tied to the gratitude of manhood.
The speaker was of opinion that the sto-
ries of the Bible pa.riarchs, because they
were taught as tasks in straight back chairs,
during the confinement of Sundays, were not
relshed, and did not, for that reason, consti-
tute the religion and poetry of childhood :;
and that the stolen perusals of Jack the Gi
ant Killer were much more impressive, and
exercised greater influence upon the future
man. In regard to the lecturers assertion
that the stories of childhood were almost
entirely British, some doubt may be express
ed They should be attributed to the Ger
man nations, generally. 1t is probable that
most of them came from the Continent origi-
nally.
The speaker, after referring to French
collection of these stories, published at the
close of seventeenth century, and commenting
upon the birth.places of the fairies, closed
with very pretty figure. The daughter of
Chinese Emperor was taken captive by the
Tartars, and being unable to sustain her cap
tivity, threw herself into the Amoor river.
She was buried under mound, from which
sprang profusion of everything green. In
the same manner, over the buried remains of
childhood, there is an everlasting green,
around which it is pleasant to linger.

A GHAS TLY EXPERIMENT.

Spirits of wine poured on a teaspoonful Of
common salt in a vial, well shaken, and then
put on either lamp-colton or tow, and ignted,
will burn with peculiar, colored fame giving
out purely yellow rays. This mysterious effect
changes the appearance of all earthly objects.
Coral lips become livid hue rosy cheeks turn
ghastp pale red cap ribbons become black /;
IN fact, everything appears different from what
It does by the white ligat we are familiar with;
and ofa!l things the human face undergoes
the greatest change. Very young children
should not be shown this experiment; for
though there will be laughing lips and dazzling

And flood a treshrr throat with song.

Now surgeons every maze oi quick
About the ilow'rng square, and thick

Now rings the woodland loud and long,
The distance takes a lovrtirr hue,
And drowned ia yonder living 5lde
The ials beconts sishuess song.
Now dance the lights on lawn and lea.

And miikier every milky sail
