Sound Advice to Parents

The Philadelphia Ledger, under the head of
Early Indulgence of Appetites, gives this
sound advice: sfxf.sssF~~ ~
Parents should ponder we'll on the danger of
an early and capricious indulgence of the appe-
tites and imaginary wants of their children
Repetition soon becomes habit, and a habit
once formed, even in childhood, will often re-
main during the whole of after life, acquiring
strength every year, until at last it sets all, hu-
man and divine, at defiance. Let parents who
yield to the cries of their children for dainty
and promiscuous food, or who allow them to
torment domestic animals or to strike their
nurses, or to, raise the hand against any person,
consider Well ON the consequences. The moral
effects Of pampering the appetites of children
are most melancholy. Is the mother afraid of
an expression of passion, bribe is too often
promised in the shape of cake or tart, as a
peace offering. Does it annoy whole company
by its boisterous or ill-timed pranks, it is per-
suaded to be quiet by the promise of some
sweetmeats. Ifit has been good, as the phraze
Is and learned its letters, the reward is still too
frequently something for the stomach. Eating
is regarded as the chief end and object of life
by child, who sees in it the chief incentive to
good behavior. A premium would truly seem
to be given for gluttony. The use of the nobler
senses, and of the faculties of the mind, the
early cultivatian of the kindlier and better feel
ing four generosity, disinterestedness,
pity. fillal love--all are overcome Or postponed
in favor of the one sensual, selfish and absorb
ing act of gormandizing - -'Hs q

The CYnic.

1he cynlc IS one who never sees a good quail
lty IN man, and never fails to see a bad one
He is the human owl, vigilant in darkness and
blind to light, mousing for vernin and never
seeing noble game. The cynie puts all human
actions into two classes -openly bad and secret
ly bad. All virtue and generosity and disin-
terestedness are merely the appearance of good,
but selfish at the bottomg.. He holds that no
man does good thing except for. profit. The
effect of his conversation upon your feelings is
to chill and scar them; to send you away sour
and morose. His criticisms and innuendoes
tall 1ndlscrlminately upon every lovely thing,
like frost upon flowers If a man,is said to be
pure and chaste, he answers i Yes, in the day
time. Ii woman is pronounced yirtuous, he
will reply: Yes, as yet. Mr.. A. is religious
Yes, on Sundays Mr.. B. has just joined, the
church: Certainly, the electionsare coming on.
The minister of the gospel is called an example
generous: OF other men money. That man
is obliging: To hull suspicion and cheat you
This man is upright: Because he is green
Thus his eyes strains. out every good quality,
and takes in only the bad-as the vuture, when
in the highest heaven, will sail by living focks
and herds, but comes ike an arrow down 1,,pon
the smallest carcass. TO him religion is hypoc
rlsy, honesty a preparation for fraud, virtue
only want OF, f,opportunlty, and undeniable pu-
Tity Ty aSceqclsm. Ihe Ifvelong day he will cOOl'y
sit with sneering lip, utteiing sharp speeches
In the quletest manner and in. polished phrase
transfixlng every character which is presented
His words are softer than oil, yet they are
drawn swords. - Ps. 5: 2I. All this. to the
young, seems a wonderful knowledge of human
nature they honor aAman who appears to have
found out mankind. They begin to indulge
themselves in fippaut sneers; and with super
clllous brow, and impudent tongue wagging to
an empty BRAIN, call to naught the wise, the
long-hled, and -tle-venefal5les- es--K w Beec1er.

A Broken Heart.

The following interesting case of literally
broken heart was related byia late distinguished
medical professor of Philadelphia, to his class,
while lecturlng upon disease Of the heart 1t
Will be seen, on perusingit that the expression
broken hearted is not merely fgurative: :
In the early part of his career, DIR. Mitchell
accompanied, as a surgeon, q packet that sailed
between Liverpool and one of our Southern
ports. On the return voyage, soon after leaving
Liverpool, while the doctor and captain of the
VESSEL a Weather-beaten son of Neptune, but
possessed OF uncommonly fine feelings and
strong impulses, were cOnverSlng In the latter's
state room,, the captain opened large chest,
and carefully took out a number of articles of
various descriptions, which he arranged upon
the table DIR. NJ, surprised at the display of
costly jewels, ornaments, dresses, and all the
various paraphernalia of which ladies are natu-
rally fond, inquired Of the captain his object in
having so many valuable purchases. The sailor.
IN reply, SAID that for sevenTor eight years he
had been devotedly attached to lady, to whom
he had several times made proposals of nnarri-
age, but was as often rejected that her refusal
to wed him, however, had only stimulated his
love to greater exerton, and that finally, upon
renewing his offer, declaring in the ardency of
his passion that, without her society, life was
not worth living for she consented to be his
bride upon his return from his next voyage. IL
. -ffa AiO Hto So OfClJOyoU dG tuo prospect OF q
marriage from which, in the warmth Of feel
ings, he probably anticipated more happiness
than is usually allotted to mortals, that hespent
all his ready money for bridal gifts After ga
zlng at them fondy for some time, and remark
ing on them in turn, [ think this will please
Annie, and L am sure she will like that, he
replaced them with the utmost care. This GER
emony he repeated every day during the voy-
age: and the doctor observed tear glisten In
his eye as he spoke of the pleasure he would
have in presenting them to his afianced bride.
On reaching his destination, the captain arrayed
himself with more than his usual precision, and
edlsembarked as soon as possible to hasten to his
love. As he was about to step into the carriage
awaiting him, he was called aside by two gentle
men who desired to make communication, the
purport OF which was that the lady had proved
untalthtul to the trust reposed in her, and had
married another, with whom she had decamped
shortly before. Instantly the captain was OBJ
served to put his hand to his breast and fall
heavily to the ground He was taken up and
conveyed to his room on the vessel. Dr. NJ.
was immediately summoned, but before he
reached the poor captain he was dead. A post
nortem examination revealed the cause. of his
death: His heart was found literally torn in
twain! The tremendous propulsion of the
blood, consequent upon such a violent. nervous
shock, forced the powerful muscular tissues a.
sulnder, and life was at an end. The heart was
