The Rearing of Children.

The rearing Of children-which should
be The greatest business in life and the
best understood-is a subject on which
our people are the most ignorant. We
seem to improve in the knowledge OF
rearing animals, and even Of fruit and
vegetables, but are lamentably deterior-
ating In the immeasurably greater duty Of
rearing our own flesh and blood. If wo
want any particular strawberry scarlet,
seeding, or other variety-to weigh SO
many TO the pound or hold SO many 10 the
quart, we can contract for and receive
them in their season. If we want an OK
either Durham,a Devon or Short horn
Ito weigh 5000 pounds, we can have
the perfect creature at our door at the
appointed time. And so with pigs, and
poultry, and flowers, the cultivation and
growth Of which have been reduced 10 as
many sciences.
But suppose we want couple Of Wash
ingtOns, two or three Shakspeares, half
dozen FIanklins, and an odd Jackson or
so? All the colleges in the land dare not
contract to turn out one such.
The fact is that we treat oar cattle bet.
ter than we treat our babies. II horse
is driven hard, and comes home heated
and painting the owner carefully removes
him to the stable, le;s him get perfectly
cool, rubs him down, and then gives him
water and food. Bat ,houghtless
mother will tug her infant through the
dusty streets Of a sultry day, and when
she gets home, fevered and exhausted, and
the baby covered with perspirstion, before
she can get time to take long breath. up
TO the breast goes the child. Ii in winter
the little one is nursed when both are
chilled with cold. Any wonder, then,
that the child has the collie, and the fever,
and the rash, and dies ? Most mothers
think that mothers milk is mothers milk,
whether it is generated in shriveied and
scrofulous breast or secreted in the glow
ing reservoirs Of health and vigor. We
might as well say that the milk obtained
from a diseased stump.taiI, swill-fed cow
is as wholesome and nutritious as wha:

NAL that browses in the green fields, drinks
from pebbly brooks, and rests beneath
the shadow Of protecting trees.
A mother should be cool, comfortable
and heallhful in body, and placid and con-
tented in mind, when she nurses her
child If she is not all these, she weak
ems and perhaps diseases her lite one
Another fault is that mothers too often
give too much milk and moi enough water
to their babes. Milk is child's food, and
not its drink. When child worries soon

The report which we published last woek
to tho effect that many lives had boon lost

from a soldior who was drafted into the

The burbctto guns of Fort Sumter were

shot from these were most destructive to

The Music Of the Bells.

We recollect 10 have seen one of the
most interesting legends connected with
bells with which we ever met, in the
Dublin Penny Journal for the year 1889.
It told Of chime OF bells, which were
manufactured by young Italian, who
labored at them necessarily for many
years. They were so sweet that his chief
delight was in listening to them they
were, in fact, the charm and the pride of
his lie. He was, however, induced by
the prior Of a neighboring convent to
part with them. With the profits OF their
sale he purchased for himself little villa,
where he could hear his bells from the
high cliffs on which the convent stood
Their music was quite necessary to his
happiness. His days passed cheerlully
on, surrounded by the objects Of his love.
and within hearing of his precious bells.
But time Of trouble came, and lie lost
eyerything-he was alone in the wide
world, bereft of family friends and home.
The convent too was razed TO the ground:
and the bells-the bells that he loved SO
well-~ere taken TO another country
For years he wandered. from land to land,
seeking for the place to which they had
been removed. lie was sorrowful old
man when he sailed up the Shannon
The vessel in which he was passenger
anchored in the Pool near Limerick. He
hired small boat for the purpose Of
landing. 1t was an evening so lovely tha:
he might have fancied himself ia his ma
tive home. The water was as clear as
glass. and the little boat glided smoothly
on. The city was near, ,and as the italian
sat in the stern, his eyes were fondly fixed
upon il. Suddenly amid the stiffness of
the hour, 4 peal burst forth from the
cathedral bells upon the air. The rowers
rested on their oars F; the Italian leaned
back he crossed his arms upon his
breast the well-remembered, fondly-
loved chime was heard once more. He
closed his eyes. the boatman landed him.
