of these ladies, when brought in contact with

ss5" Most parents take great pride in
the precocious development of their chill
dren, and they seldom reflect that there
are great perils and Disadvantages attend
ing precoci.y.
Not many men who have attained 10
great eminence were remarkable for their
infantine accomplishments, and all the
youthful preeocities Of whom we ever read
died young. Hermogenes, the youthful
iutor Of the Emperor Aurelius, became
idiot'c at twenty-four ; and Henry Helm
neke, miracle of precocity. who commit
led the Psnta'cuch by note when year
old, and was familiar with ancient history
and geography, as well as the ancient and
modern languages, died, while a mere
child, at the age of four years.
As it would be utterly i'm practicable for
parents to estimulate their children to
anything like n rivalry with such prpdI.
giea as those, forbearance of the vain ef.
fort nigh, at least avoid similar fate for
their children.
