though our toll is harder than theirs. Let
him take them as pleases him, for his
houses and ships. So also it may be well
for these timid lowland trees to tremble with
all their leaves; or to turn their psleness to
the sky, ifbut rush of rain passes BY them,
or to let fall their leaves as last, sick and
sore But We pines must live carelessly
amidst the wrath of clouds. We only wave
our branches to and fro when the storm
pleads with us, as men toss their arms in
dream. And finally, these weak lowland
trees may struggle fondly for the last rem
nants of life, and send up feeble saplings
again from their roots when they are cut
down. But We builders with the sword per-
ish boldly, our dying shall be perfect and
solemn, as our warning; we give up our
lives without reluctance, and forever.-Rus-
kin.
FIRST BABIEs.-There is an extensive fund
of strong, wholesome common-sense most
uncommon possession by the wsy,) in the
following plain paragraph from the Spring
field Republican, and parents may save
themselves and their offspring much unnec-
essary suffering, by taking to heart its ex-
cellent suggestions
A somewhat extended observation, and q
solitary experience, have convinced us that
first babies have hard time Parents must
have two or three children before they know
what baby is, know how to treat it, and
acquire patience to treat it properly. The
Door little fellows that have the misfortune
to come along first, have to educate parents
to their task, and in the process they get
spanked. and shaken, and abused. After
a man has three or four children, he learns
that whipping OF striking q child less than
two years of age is barbarism. We know
one "paternal head" who struck his first
child when only six weeks old, the ass actu.
ally believing that the child knew better
than to cry, and that he stopped crying ut
that particular time because he struck him;
We carry certain notions OF children ana
of family government into married life, and
the first child is always the victim OF
these notions. And not alone Of these, tor
the parents have not learned self-control, and
a baby is whipped quite as often because the
parent is impatient or angry, as because IL
is vicious or intractable We inhict on our
first children the foggings We ought to have
for our own impatience or fretfulness This
pounding children before they become, IN
Gods eve, morally responsible beings, is
very strange business Patience, good peo-
ple-unw caring patience! Don't wait to
learn it until one of your little ones shall be
hidden under the daisies
