monotonous toll. His only intellectual
amusement, poor wretch, seems to consist in
listening to sermons, which he requires TO be
loud, and hot and strong; for he is little
deaf from exposure, and rather phlegmatic,
and slow to be roused He may give you
the appearance of dullness, but he is won

them, rs he finds it hard to believe in disin-

An English Pcnsnnrs Co,,nge

1t seems to me that all the world over
there is nothing more pleasant to look upon
on the outside at least-than an English
peasants cottage. There is home charm
about it which the dwelling of the laborcr
in any other part of the world that am ac-
quanted with, has not Mr. Birket Foster,
the first painter of English idyllic life we
have had, is never tired of representing it for
us. 1t may be of red brick, or of timber, or
of clay, or of stone, but it is always thatched,
with high-peaked, thick, warm roof; and the
windows look out upon you through the
moss-grown caves like kindly eyes from be-
meath rugged human brow. And il stands
in its own little patch of garden ground,
where summer after summer the old famil-
iar flowers bloom, which have died ont of
our gardens now, but which Shakespeare
loved Ii has its own little croft its cluster
of fruit trecs-"almost its own sky Per-
haps a large elm overarches it, sprinkling
the wind-blown shadows over roof and road,
a counterchange of light and shade; and Just
by, where the style leads of from the high
ways through pastures, the ground makes a
dip, and you look out upon stretch of blue
country-beyond the distant farm with its
range of russell stacks, and the massive
square church tower, where the rest of the
village clusters, and the village laborers who
have finished their days work on earth are
resting till the Master shall call them for
their wages. This is the outside view of
things,
But as to the inhabitants of this paradise?
Well, in the first place, he is a machine,
Now, there are other living machines, spin

times rebels against its bondage, and the

excess, after which he returns to his me-

VENTLATE YOUR CHILDREN Room.
Most parents, before retiring, make it du-
ty to visit the sleeping-rooms of their chill
dren. They do 50 in order to be satisfied
that the lights are eXtinguished, and that no
danger is threatening their little ones. Buff
they leave the room with closed windows and
doors they shut in as great mn enemy as fire,
although its ravages may not be so readily
detected. Poison is there, slow but deadly.
Morning after morning do many little chill
dren wake weary, fretful and oppressed.
"What can ii mean? What can it bepn the
mother cries. In despair she has recourse
TO medicine. The constitution becomes en-
fecbled, and the child grows worse. The
cause. perhaps, is never traced to overcrowd-
ed sleeping-rooms, without proper air; but
it is, nevertheless, the right one. An intel
ligent mother having acquainted herself with
the principles of ventilation, will not retire
to her room for the night without having
provided a sufliciency of air for her children,
in the same manner that she provides and
regulates their night-covering, or any other
requisite for refreshing slumber.
Sometimes, by judiciously lowering win
dow, and at other times leaving door wide
open, this end may be attained In many
houses the day and night nurseries commu-
ncate. When this Is the case, the window
of the further room should be lels open; anu
the door between the rooms likewise open'
