INFANTS AND A1a.-Parliamen.ary returns

INFANTS AND AIR.-Parliamen.ary returns
show $500 infants annually sent to various
hospitals to be taken care of; "a out of 25
died before they were year old. A law
was Immediately passed that they should be
sent to the country thereafter, when it was
found that only out of 25 died the first
year-that is snstead of 2, 600 there were only
$50, diffefarce of 2,240.
This simple unvarnshed statement of an
indisputable fact, ought to impress the mind
OF every parent deeply with the Importance
and the duty of using all practicable means
ofsecuring to children the habitaal breathing
of the purest air possible being carefu! to
avoid radical. mischievous, and most prev
impure. Warmth is as essential to infantile
health as pure air. How best to secure both
should be our constant study. There are
more deaths under Ave years of age in New
York, than there are from Eve to sixty years,
owing to three things-a want of pure air,
of suitable warmth, and proper food. In
these three wants are found the overwhelm-
ing majority of causes for the fearful state
ment above named. Let every parent in the
city or country, in hoyel or mansion, mature
these things.
To die childless, after having been once
blessed with dear children, must be one of
the most terrible of all calamities of the
heart yet, in countless multltudes of cases,
the sufferers are the authors of their own
crushing sorrows, by reason Of their unpar-
donable ignorance or moral criminal neglect.

TO MY WIFE.

The Boston Olive Branch says the following
lines were written by an inmate of an Insane
Asylum, to his wife. When she visited him at
the Institution, he sat with his head bowed down,
and his face hidden between his hands. For a
he looked up at her, and said, Chow dc
you do, love 7" and dropped his head as before
In minute or two after, he rose, went to table
took pen in his hand and hastily scribbling of
the following touching verses, gave them to her
I shall die first dear love;
My mournful soul made free,
Shall sit at heavens bright portal
To wait and watch for thee;
To wait and watch for thee, love,
And through the deep dark space,
To peer with human longings
Upon thy radiant face.
Amid the stars of heaven
One only shall see
The earth-star of my passion
Half heaven for holding thee
All heaven for holding thee, love,
And brightest of the spheres,
If by thy smile illumined,
Or hallowed by thy tears.
l shall die first, dear love;
feel that this shall be-
But heaven will not be heaven
Until it's shared by thee
Until it's shared by thee, love,
I'll linger at the gate,
Or be thy guardian angel,
To teach thee how to wait
And when thine hour shall come,
'And through the yielding night
I'll see thy happy spirit
Upsoaring, robed in light,
Mine shall go forth to meet thee,
And through the opening door
We will pass in rejoicing
Made one forevermore.

MORE CAMELs.-The schooner Caroline r.
Foote arrived at San Francisco the other day,
from the Amoor river and Castries Bay, via
of Japan, having on board fifteen Mongolian
camels, shipped by Mr.. Otto Esche to NJ. Fri
sins & Co., to be SOLD for the benefit Of the
German Benevolent Society of San Fran
cisco.
These cameis, says the Herald, are the
survivors of a let OF thifty-two, intended for
this place, but seventeen OF them died before
being put on board the vessel. The rest have
arrived in good lealtlf but somewhat thin,
from their long sea voyage. 1t must be re-
mcmbered, that these camels, unlike those of
Arabia, are natives of cold districts, and
thoroughly accustomed to the rigors of a
northern climate. They will therefore serve
admirably to put upon the routes through
Oregon, the southern portions of this State,
and western Utah.

Schuyler Colfax of Indiana, is slight in person,

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION. - An important
question is about to be settled by the Supreme
Court Of Michigan, in the iIabaes Corpus case
Of the People vs.. Farnhsm. As the case is re-
ported by the AdOertissr, the relator, a tele-
graph operator at st. Johns, Was brought from
the Clinton County Jail, where he had been CON-
mitted by Justice of the Peace for contempt
in refusing to disclose the contents of message
which was deemed necessary in an important
criminal examination.
The case Was argued by \. Gould tor the re-
lator, and Attorney General Howard for the
Sheriff. The questions argued were whether
the Statute of the State in prohibiting an oper-
ator from "willfully" disclosing the contents OF
a message, extended the injunction of secrecy
to cases where the ends of justice were to be
subserved by disclosure, and proper demand
was made by a competent Court. The question
of general policy was also discussed in connsc-
ton with the provisions Of the statute. and as
giving construction thereto.
