EDUCATING THE HEART.

The following remarks from late mum.
Der of the London Quarterly Review, with
reference to educating the heart before the
head is too full, commend themselves to all
who have the management of children:
1t is the vice Of the age to substitute
learning for wisdom-to educate the head,
ana to forget that there is moro important
education necessary for the heart. The
reason is cultivated at an age when nature
does not furnish the elements necessary to
successful cultivation of it; and the child
is solicited to reflection when he is only
sensible Of sensation and emotion. In in
fancy the attention and the memory arc
only excited strongly by things which i'm
press the senses and move tho heart, and
father will instill moro solid and available
instruction in an hour spent in the fields,
where wisdom and goodness arc cxemplifed,
seen and felt, than in a month spent in study,
where they are expounded in stereotype
aphorisms.
No physician doubts that precocious
children, in fifty cases for one, are much
worse for the discipline they have under
gone. The mind seems to have been
strained, and the foundations for insansty
are laid. When tho studies Of muturer
years are stuffed into the child's head, peo.
pie do not reflect on the anatomical fact
that the brain Of an infant is not the brain
of man. Tho first eight or ten years of
life should be devoted mainly to the educa-
tion of the heart-to the formationof prin-
cifies rather than to the requirement Of
what is usually called knowledge.
Nature herself points out such course !;
for. the emotions are then liveliest and most
easily moulded, being as yet unalloyed by
passion. It is from this source that the
mass Of men are hereafter to draw their
sum of happiness or misery. The actions
Of the immense majority arc, under all cir
cumstances, determined much more by feel
ing than reflection Z; in truth, life presents
an iuinity Of occasions where it is essential
to happiness that we should think profoun-
dly.

A COQUETTE'S KISS.

and them she hesitated.
"Then we will return by the bridec,,'
said |. "It is delightful evening, and the
last too that 1 shall spend in your pleasant
village for the present, SO let US enjoy it."
She made no reply, but placing her hand
in mine permitted me to seat her in the
boat a few strokes Of the oar and We

distance below, and yielding ourselves to
the current We floated slowly down.

The village gossips would recount her al
most numberIess conquests, especially
among the students of the neighboring COL

TAKING CoLD.-A 'cold' is not neces-
sarily the result Of low or high temperature.
A person may 60 directly from hot bath
into cold one, or into snow even, and not
take COLI. He may remain out in the
coidest atmosphere until chilled through
and not take cold. On the contrary he
may take cold by pouring couple of table
spoonfuls Of water upon some part Of bis
dress, or by standing in door, or before
stove, or sittiug near window or other
opening where one part Of tbs body is COL
der than another. Let It be kept in mind
that uniformity to temperature over the
whole body is tho FIRST thing TO be looked
after. It's tho Unequal beat upon different
parts Of tho body that produces colds, by
disturbing the uniform circulation Of the
blood, which in turn induces congestion of
some part. If you must keep a partially
wet garment on, it would peraape be as well
to wet the whole uniformly.
Tho feet are great source of colds on
account Of the variable temperature they are
subjected to. Keep these always dry ard
avoid draught Of air, hot or cold, wet spots
on tho garments, and other direct causes
of unequal temperature, and keep sys.
ten, braced up by plenty Of sleep, and the
escbewing Of debilitating fasih and drinks,
and you will bo proof agains a cold and It's
results. - J

SIEEF,-There is no fact more clearly
established in the physiology Of man than
this, that the brain expands its energies and
itself during the house Of wakefulness, and
that these are recuperated during sleep; if
the recupcrating does not equal the expen-
diture, the brain withers-this is insanity.
Thus it is tiat in early English history,
persons who were condemned to death by
being prevented from sleeping always died
raving maniacs; thus it is, also, that those
who arc starved to death become insane
the brain in not nourished, and they cannot
sleep. The practical inferchGes are these:
First. Those who think most, who do
most brainwork, require most sleep. Second.
That time saved from necessary sleep is
infallibly destructive to mind, body, and
estate. Third. Give yourself your chll-
dren, your servants-give all that are under
you the fullest amount of sleep they will
take, by compelling them to 60 to bed at
some regular early hour, and 10 rise in the
morning the moment they awake; and,
within fortnight, nature, with almost the
regularity of the sun, will .unloose the bonds
Of sleep tho moment enough repose has
been secured for the wants of the system.
This is the only safe and sufficient rule
and as TO the question how: much sleep
any one requires, each mustbe rule for
himself-great Nature will':never fail to
write it out to the observer under the reg
ulations just given.-Dr. Spicer.

PHTHIsIs AS AFFECTED ny C,oupyp1

PHTHIsIs AS AFFECTED BY COMPLEX
IoN.-The EdinbGrg Medical Journal pub
fishes some curious observations made by
DR.. Beddoc on the supposed proclivity to
phthisis in persons of xanthous complexion.
The number of cases noted was FIVE hun
drcd, two hundred and forty of whom are
natives of Scotland, two hundred and seven
teen were English, and forty three we're Irish.
Persons having gray hair were not noted.
These observations not only disprove the
old notion Of the epeci. liability Of KAN
thous persons, but 60 far toward proving
consumption to be more rife among dark
eyed, dar-hakired people. Dark ewes were
more frequently met with among the phthis.
lcal than was any other color. Red hair
rose slightly above, and fair hair slightly
below the average. Brown hair counted
little more than thrccfourths Of its proper
tomato number. Dark brown, on tho other
hand, roso almost as high above the average
and black still higher, showing an excess
IN tho proportion of more than three to
two. The frequency of black hair among
the non-phthisical Irish does not tell much
on the average, as Ireland furnished only
forty-three cases out Of the five hundred
less than nine per cent. That consumption
may bo very frequent among persons of fine
skin and delicate complexion, DR.. B. does
not deny; in fact, he believes that very
fair complexion, especially when cunjoined
with black hair, is very often associated with
proclivity to tuGercular disease. It is also
conceivable that the progress of the disease
may be in general moro rapid in fair than
in dark subjects.
