ToUGHE.i-G ISF.NTs.-A writer on ply
siological subjects, in Dlack,cood, gives the
following advice to mothers on the above
subject:
maternal instinct has in all ages and in
all climates taught women to keep their in
fants warm. Philosophers have at various
time tried, by logic and rhetoric, to thwart
this instinct Philosophy has been eloquent
on the virtue of making infants hardy, and
has declared that cold baths and slight cloth
ing must be as Strengthening to the infant
as to the adult Listen to none Of these phil
osophers, ye mothers! They are to DO sus-
pected when they are talking ply siolgy, for
under the circumstances they are the worst
of guides, deceiving themselves and you by
that fatal facility which intilectnal po~er
gives them of making ignorance look like
knowledge, and Of SO speciously arraying ab-
surdity that it locks like plain common sense.
It is bad very bad, to listen to grand mo-
thsrs, mothers-in-law and nurses. for their
heads are mostly mere lumber rooms crotch
cts and absurdities; but it is better sometimes
to listen to them than to PHILOSOPHERS who
inspire more respect, and cannot irreverent-
" b treated as old women Maternal in
stinct must not be perverted by such unphy-
sological teachings as that Of hardening in
fants. 1t is true that streng infants can en-
cases it is more or less injurious; for the uni
versal law is that the younger the animal,
the feebler its power Of resisting cold, in
spite of its possessing higher temperature
than the adult"

One Of them, whose features were mere re-

4 ToucnING ISCIDESr-A correspondent

4 ToUcnISG ISCIDESr.-A correspondent
writing from Philadelphia to the Louisville
bc'aocrat, relates the following: Whilst an
aged and poorly clad female was asking aims
at the corner OF ourth and Chestnut streets,
smart looking sailor passed within few
feet Of her, gazing intently for Several Sec
onds on her haggard face. She approached
him, and extended ner palm in silence. In
stantly his hand found its way to his capa-
cious pocket; and when he drew it out it was
filled with gold and oliver, which he forced
her to accept, saving There good mo-
ther, take this; you may as well have it as
tho landsharks. The last cruise had out
Of New Y ork found me with four hundred
dollars on hand but. as the neighbors told
me my old mother was dead, | got on
spree with the money, spent it all inside Of
! week; and tn n shipped again. 'Ohl good
good sir. you are too kind to an OLD body
like me, for your sake, will take it. Oh

he seized her in his arms and kissed her af-
fectionately, whilst the the big tears of joy
ran dowD his bronzed cheek. The poor wo-
man was entirely overcome by she recovery
Of her long lost child, and wcpt and groaned
alternately. A carriage shortly after con-
veyed the mother and son away, leaving
many mostened eye among the crowd who
witnessed the scene.

THE FEuu ~ ST. PErEssBURG.-Bayard
Taylor, in one Of his recent letters from ct
Petersburg thus describes .he great conser-
vatores near thu Russian capital, in which
palms, sixty feet in height, are growing:
The fruit shops in the Nevskoi Prospekt
are an agreeable surprise TO .he stranger--
Passing before the windows, you are saluted
by the musky odor Of golden melons, the
breath of peaches, plums, grapes, oranges,
and fresh figs, which are here displayed in
as much profussn if they were the ordi-
nary growth o: the soil. The fruit is all
raised in hot houses, and did not venture
to ask the price. This is one of those luxu
ries which are most easily excused.
The Botanical Garden, IN which spent an
afternoon, contains one of the finest collec-
tions Of tropical plants in Europe. Here, in
latitude 60, you may walk through an ave
nle Of palm trees sixty feet high, under tree
ferns and bananas, by ponds of lotus and In
dian lily, and banks Of splendid orchids,
breathing an air heavy with the richest and
warmest odors. The extent of these giant
hot-houses cannot be less than a mile and a
half The short summer, and long, dark
winter of the North, require a peculiar
course of treatment for those children Of the
sun. During the three warm mDnths they
are forced as much as possible, SO that the
growth of six months is obtained in that
time, and the productive forces Of the plant
are kept up to their normal standard. AZ.
ter this result is obtained, it thrives as stea-
div az in \ more favorable climate. The
palms, in particular. are noblo specimens

GooD.-During recent trial at Auburn,
the following occurred to vary the monotony
of the proceedings:
"Among the witnesses was one, as ver-

claimed:

NEwsPAPEs PUBLlsnING.-Tho New York
O1serrer thus speaks Of newspaper publis-
ers:
Tho remuneration must be ample, or the
laborer is not free from care, and does not
work with enthusiasm. Every reader is
responsible for this matter. If one subscri-
Der 10 newspaper neglects to pay prompt
ly, he contributes to dishearten the man
who labors to make the paper what the
reader wishes it to be. If the editor knows
that he is not only to work for nothing and
finds himself, but that he is also to find the
subscriber, he may be excused for disceur-
agement. Yet there are many who have SO
little refectian, SO little conscience. and SO
much meanness, they will take newspaper
for =, whole year, and sometimes more, and
not pay cent for it.
