| Mrs. SwHssHEIM ON THE TREATMENT OF
BABIEs.-In o late number OF her paper, Mrs.
Swisshelm devotes over q column 10 tne
treatment OF babies, commencing Win tne
moment they are ushered into this breathing
world. Her ideas are pointly expressed, ana
show, however erratically on other subjects
she may bave wandered from her natural orbit
that womaCly instincts still maintain their
! sway. She starts out with the insertion that
half the children die in the first year, and that
J nineteen out of twenty die from cold and
hunger, or from poison, and that II infants
were treated on the principle on which good
farmer treats lambs, goslings, &c, we'll led
and kept warm, they would live and grow
well. Her pervadipg idea is that babies are
chilled to death, and that in Summer or win.
ter the greatest care should be taken to keep
them warm. She says:
keep the baby warm Warmth is life.
Cold is death. We think it unnatural to
have their little bald head bsre-believe that
the air on the scalp is a constant and danger
Gus stimulsnt to the brain-beleve that
nature, in her efforts TO keep the head warm
sends too much blood to the head and that
this is one fruitful cause Of the dropses OF
the brain levers, &c which carry OF so many
children. III it were right and proper TO have
the scalp exposed to the air, nature would
not have so clothed the human bead and
until the natural covering comes, 40 artificial
substitute should be supplied but upon this
point we do not hope to influence any one.
Dutch babies wear caps and how could any
lady Of taste have her baby look like Dutch
baby? Just SO ; and Dutch babies generally
live laugh and grow fat, for they are "Smother-
ed in flannel and feathers and kept all 10 "a
sweat" Dutch mothers do not keep their
babies for model.artist exhibition. They
cover them up, keep them warm and quiet,
and raise wonderful number Of sturdy boys
and girls. We treated our babies on the
Dutch plan, and never lost nights sleep
with her. A baby should never be laid down
TO sleep, summer or winter, without having
something warmed by fire and put in its
crib, on which it should be laid, and carefully
tucked up. In winter, in an ordinary sitting
room there should be thick blanket, doubled
aud well warmed, between it and the bed |;
the body hasn't heat to spare to warm ell
the bedding around it every time it wants q
nap, and it should be so warm while sleeping
as 20 be quite in glow. This is rosy sleep"
and from it baby will generally wake up
crownng and laughing; while blue, cold
sleep such as most babies have, makes one
cross and fretful."

Twas at the close of q glorious summer
day-the sun was sinking behind the distant
pig pen,-the chickens were going to roost-
the bull.frogs had commenced their evening
songs-the polly. .wogs in their native mud
puddles were preparing themselves for the
shades Of night-and Sal and myself sat upon
an old and antiquated back log, listening to
the music Of nature, such as tree toads, and
now and then the mellow music Of distant
jackass, which was waited to our enrs by the
gentle zephyrs that sighed among the mullen
stalks, and came heavily laden with the deli
cious odor Of hen roosts and peg styes. The
last rays OF the setting sun, glancng from the
brass button Of solitary horsemaD, shone
through knot hole in the hog pen full in

She turned her eyes heavenward, clasped
me by the hand, bad an attack o. beayes and

shoe strings to her palate, said.
"Yes!'
She gave clean out then. and squatted in
my lap-I hugged her until broke my sus-

THE DEATH OF THE FLOWERS.
BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
The melancholy days are come,
The saddest of the yea!
OF wailing winds and naked woods.
And meadows brown and sere,
Ieaped in the bellows Of the grove,
The withered leaves lie dead,
They rustic to the eddying gust
And to the rabbits tread
The robbn and the wren have flown,
And from the shrub the jay
nd from the wood.top calls the crow,
Through oil the gloomy day.
Where are the flowers, the fair young
flowers,
That lately sprang and stood
In brighter light and softer airs,
A beauteons sisterhood?
Alas they oil are in their graves,
The gentle race of flowers,
And lying in their lowly bed,
With the fair and good Of ours,
The rain is falling where they lie,
But the cold, November rain
Calls not, from out the gloomy earth,
The lovely oues again.
The wild flower and the violet,
They perished long ago,
And the brier.rose and the orchis died
Amid the Summer glow;
But on the bill the golden rod,
And the aster in the wood,
And the yellow suntlower by the brook,
In Autumn beauty stood
Till fell the frost from the clear, cold
heaven,
As falls the plague on men,
And the brightness of their smile was gone
From upland, glade and glen.
And now, when comes the calm, mild day,
As still such days will come,
To call the squirrel and the bee
From out their Winter home,
When the sound Of dropping nuts is heard
Though all the trees are still,
And twinkle 10 the smoky light
The water5 OF the rill,
The south wind searches for the flowers
Whose fragrance late he bore,
And sighs to find them 10 the wood
And by the stream no more.
And then think of one who in
Her youthful beauty died,
The fair meek blossom that grew up
And faded by my side;
10 the cold, moist earth we laid her,
When the forest cast The leaf.
A nd we we7t that one go lovely
Should have o life 80 brief.
Yet not unmet it WAS that one
Like that young friend of ours,
So gentle and so beautiful,
Should perish with the flowers.

NAMES OF SUBSCRIBERS WRITTEN
ON EVERY PAPER.


We are now living in The age of Rebell-
ion. The South, not content with having
had the control of our Government almost
entirely ever since the formation of the Goa
stitution, are now endeavoring to break up
our glorious Union, merely because for once
the power is taken out of her hands, Overt
acts and hostility have already been COM
menced against the Federal authorities, and
where it will end, no man knows.
If there ever was time when every man
should take a good newspaper, which will
keep him posted in regard to the news Of the
day, now is that time Such a newspaper
is the LEADER.
In addition to the important matters oc-
curing in our own country, the news from
Europe, for at least the year to come, viii be
of stirring interest. The heroic and patriotic
Garibaldi in struggling to build up a liberal
and united government in Italy; old thrones
are crumbling into ruin-society is in a
transition state
The great advantages in taking a Home
paper, like the Leader, over the Eastern
Weeklies, are these:
Owing to our great Telegraphic arrange
ments, we are enabled to give news three to
FIVE days earlier than can possibly be dsliv-
cred by Eastern papers. The LEADBR gives
more home news, both political and current,
than can be done by Eastern cotemporaries.
The postage on the LRADER is I3 to 26 cents
less year, than on Eastern papers The
columns of the LEADER will be enriched by
the effusions of correspondents from all parts
of the Union.
There is one service that we solicit from
our Republican Friends, and that is, to lend
their aid in getting up Clubs for the coming
year. Let it be remembered that we need
Just the kind OF assistance that can only be
derived from friends scattered through the
country, and if each one will feel that he
ought to act, and take hold with a will, we
can commence the new year with a subscrip-
ton list greater than we ever had.
One hour in twenty-fOur spent in reading,
and ONE DOLLAR per year, will give the
running history, as it transpires, of two con-
tinents, besides vast amount Of information
on every subject and in every department OF
knowledge. There is no man who is not
! able In sDare the dollar and davote the time
for such a retdrn.
After presenting the above, we hope OuT
friends will exert themselves to back US in
our enterprise.

The Geneva Courier has an account of the
shameful treatment which Mrs. Bottsford,
of Elbridge, N. Y, received at the hands of
the Charlestonians. 1t appears almost in
credible
Mrs. Bottsiord was visiting friend, when
the subject Of dissolution came up and she
was asked her opinion upon the subject, which
she gave, declaring that her sympathies were
with the North. Early the next morning
she was waited upon by an officer, who cited
her before a magistrate of the city. She was
tried for seditiOn and treasou-convicted and
sentenced to four months imprisonment in
Charleston jail where she was inhumanly
treated, and lived upon bread and water
Seeing no Glance of escape, she wrote to
Mayor Wood, Of New York city, 20 use his
influence in her behalf, that she might be
pardo ied out. In the place of receiving
kind letter, as any human being would have
written to woman under the circumstances,
he wrote her an abusive one, glOrifying in
her position. She was given to understand
il she would recant what she had said, they
would set her at liberty. This she refused to
do, but was finally reprieved by the Mayor,
after about two months Imprisonment
through the influence of many requests
She was then put aboard of a steamer,
started on her way to the North, and soon
arrived in New York city, where she still
remains"
If the above is true, the quicker little
Southern hot blood ID let the better; and if
the traitors are to be hung, and we hope
most deEOutly they will be, let Mayor Wood
be suspended with them.
