WHY CHILDREN DIE.-Oue reason why
children die is because they are not taken
care of. From the day Of birth they are
stuffed with food and choked with physio,
sloshed with water, suffocated in hot rooms =,
steamed in bed clothes. SO much for in
door. When permitted to breathe breath
of pure air once a week in SUNNI er, and
once or twice during the cold months, only
the nose is permitted to peer into daylight
4 little later they are sent out with no
clothing at all on the parts of the body
which most need protection. Bare legs.
bare arms, bare necks, girted middle, with
an Inverted UMBRELLA to collect the air and
chill the other parts Of tho body. A stout
strong man goes out in cold dav with
gloves and overcoat, wooden stockings, and
thick, double-soled boots, with cork be-
tween and rubbers over.
The same day a child Of three years old,
an infant flesh, blood, bone and constitu-
ton. goes out with shoes as thin as paper
cotton socks, legs uncovered to the knees
neck bare; an exposure which would disa
BILE the nurse, kill the mother outright and
make the father an invalid for weeks. And
why? To harden them to mode of dress
which they are never expected to practice
To accustom them to exposure which a
dozen years later, would be considered
downright foolery. To rear children thus
for the slaughter pen, and then lay it or
the Lord is too bad. We don't think the
Almighty had any hand in it. And tc
draw comfortIfrom the presumption that lie
bad an agency in the death of the child Is
PROCLAMATION.

SOUND AS YOUNG TIMBER.-Once on a
time not long ago, nor so far from Millers-
burgh as it might be, good hearted man
and his long-tongued, style talking wife
attended a social party. About every three
minutes the wife would check het husband
thus:
Now, William don't talk so loud!"
"Come William, don't lean back in the
chair that way"
"Now, William don't get noisy over
there!"
"Say, William, let the girls alone and
sit bysne."
At last forbearance ceased to be virtue
and the husband who was really pitied by
all in the room, arose and said
''I beg pardon of the company, but as my
wife insists in being boss all the time, it is
right she should have these!"
And he deliberately took off his pants and
handed them to her and sat down in his
boots and drawers.
The company was astonish ed-the wo-
man burst into tenrs-the happy couple soon
went home, but neither of them wore the
pants.
How the affair was settled we cannot
tell, but the last time we saw William he
had the pants on. We are inclined to think
she will not again boss him In company in
hurry.

How Soon WE FoRGET.-A leaf torn
from the tree by rude gale and borne away
to some desert spot to perish. Who misses
it from among its fellows? Who is said
that it has gone? Thus it is with human
life. There are dear friends, perhaps, who
are stricken with grief, when loved one is
taken; and for many days the grave is wat
cred with tears of anguish. But by and by
the crystal fountain is drawn dry, the last
drop oozes out; the stern gates of forget
fulness fold back upon the exhausted spring,
and Time, the blessed healer of sorrows.
walks over the closed sepulcher without
waking single echo by his footsteps.

From h1ab.-For the Boston Post.
To a Young Lady.

Like withered roses in thy hair,
Thy beauty soon thou'lt faded find;
Then, fair youag maiden, have care
For cultivation cf thy mind!
When frosts autumnal thee surprise,
When thy external charms are gone,
When, exiled from thy paradise,
Thou weep'st in cold neglect, alone
Wher, lost the GLOW of beauty rare,
The courage of thy heart shall fail
To weave fresh roses in thy hair,
Because thy cheek hath grown so pale,-
Then will the riches Of thy mind,
If guarded from untimely blight, =
Remain upon thy brow, defined
In lines of beauty's heavenly light.

A Prayer for Peace.

Give US peace in our time, o Lo1dl
From the desolating sword,
From the devastating fire.
From wicked mems desired
Passionate, senseless, proud,
The teachers of the crowd
Disturb the sorrowful air,
Crying "Strikel and not sparen
The preachers of Thy word,
Untrue to the trust conferred,
DehIe Thy temple gate
With the blasphemies of hate.
The eyes ofour young men glow
As the wild war trumpets blow,
And their hands drip crimson rain
With the blood of their brethren slain.
"Kors BZoodI'' the old men urge,
As the tides of battle surge;
'TSs sl0eet for our countTyto die!
"Hore 6Loodl"-the women cry.
And they &C, the brave and strong,
For right that may be wrong.
To feed the greedy tomb
With their beauty and their bloom.
They redden the rolling flood,
To fatten the earth with blood,
And poison the airs pure breath
With the charnel reek of death.
From the mountain to the sEsj
Floats up, o Lord; to Thee
To the footstool of Thy Throne,
The long, -ow, tremulous moan
Of cbildless multitude:
Tender, and fair, and good;
Of mothers forlorn-Gorlotn;
Who weep for their early borh-
And Of widows forlorn as they,
Whose hope, whose prop, whose stay
Lie low in the shallow grave
Of the hnf5fgottdn trave-
Give us peace, o Lord, in our tins,
From all this wrong and crime;
From all this sorrow aud shame
Peacel peaceI in thy holy narnel
For the sake of the perishing realm
That our passions overwhelm;
For the sake of the outraged laws,
And ofLiberty's sacred cause
Stay, stay Thy lifted hand
On our decimated landl
Hold back the avenging rodi

DARING IMPIETY.-Thcre is a man by the
name of Wiley, member Of Congress from
Western Virginia. q Senator, we believe,
who recently made speech in favor of i'm
mediate and unconditional abolition. He
closed his harangue with the daring and
shocking assertion that "if he believed the
Bible sanctioned slavery, he would curse
God and die" A moments reflection is
necessary to comprehend the full measure
of the blasphemy of this remark, uttered in
the Senate of the United States, aud copied
with commentator in leading Republican
papers. We are not surprised at it, for it is
in the very spirit of the party to which
Wiley belongs; but we copy it to ask if the
wretch who uttered, and the party who ap-
prove 1t. are not fully prepared to resolve,
as did their prototypes the French j Jacobins,
that there is no God,' and that death is an
eternal sleep?' Both of these resolutions
would pass the present Congress any day. if
dictated by the necessities of the two
Houses represent Empire.
