LAYING UP FOR CHILDREN.

Parental affection naturally inquiries
what it can best do for the welfare of
its children in future years, and when
the bosom which now thrObs with love
to its offspring shall be cold in death.
Many plans are laid, and many days
and hours of anxious sOlicitude are
spent in contriving ways and means of
rendering children prosperous and
happy in future life. But parents are
not always wisein the provisions which
they seek to make for their children :;
nor do they always seek direction and
counsel from God in this matter. The
best inheritance for children, beyond
all contradiction, is true piety towards
God, the salutary truths and principles
OF religion laid up in the hearts of chill
dren-a good education-good and vir-
tuous habits-unbending principles of
moral conduct the fear of God, and
the hope of heaven. This is the inher-
itance for children, and which all pa
rents should be most anxious to lay up
for them.
Many an unwise parent works hard
and lives sparingly all his life, for the
purpose of leaving enough to give his
children a start in the world, as it is
called. Setting a young man afioat
with money left him by his relatives,
is like tying bladders under the arms
of one who cannot swim, ten chances
to one he will lose the bladders or go
to the bottom. Teach him to swim,
and he will not need the bladders.
Give your child sound education.
See to it that his morals are pure, his
mind cultivated, and his whole nature
made subservient to the laws which
govern man, and you have given what
will be more valuable than the wealth
of the Indies. You have given him a
start which no misfortune can deprive
him of. The earlier you teach him to
depend upon his own resources, and the
blessing of God, the better.

THE WAY CoUNTERFEITERs Pro-
CEED.-The mod,ts operd,adi of the coun-
terfeiting gentry is described as follows:
A suitable person approaches first
class engraver with an offer of $4,000
or even $4,000 for plate. The latter
is seldom able to resist this temptation,
and as he no doubt has daily engage
ment in some bank note establishment,
the work is done by him in over time,
such as nights and Sundays. When
the bills are printed they are distribu-
ted with surprising celerity and are
"shoved" simultaneously in different
parts of the Union. In this manner
a large number is got off before suspi-
cion is aroused. The best counterfeit
greenback ON record is the $50 issue
which was at first accepted in the Treas
ury at Washington. Roberts, the ar
tist, who executed the plate, received
$40, 900 for his services, but was detect

WIFE SELLING IN FRANCE.-There
still exists, among even well-informed
French people, a tradition that in Eng
land husband commonly puts hal
ter around his wife's neck, leads her to
Smithfeld, and sells her to the highest
bidder. A laborer named Martin, age,
80, at Wire (Calvados) recently went
still further He not only sold his wife
andcupboard together for five francs to a
young man named Vautier, but assisted
the latter by force to take possession of
his purchase. For this grave offence
the two men have just been tried at the
Court of Assizes of Caen. The hearing
ofthe case took place with closed doors,
and the jury having returned verdict
ofguilty, but with extenuating circum-
stances, Martin was condemned to eight
years hard labor, and Vautier to five
years imprisonment.

eyes mother seWed it," said the
child.
"And did she not buy the cloth of
the shopkeeper ?" asked the lady.
"Yes," said the little girl, "but the
shopkeeper bought it from the factory
where it was spun and wove, and the
factory man bought the wool from the
farmer, and the farmer took it from the
lambs back, and the lamb got it from
God, who clothes the little lambs with
their soft wool, to keep them warm.
The lambs could not dress themselves,
nor could their mothers dress them.
God dresses them. So God is in the be-
ginning, mother says, and without God
should not have had it,"
That is the very first thing the Bible
says:
SIN the beginning God created the
heavens and the earth"

DIR. Arnott, in his Physics, states that
| canary birds suspended near the top of
curtained bedstead where persons are
sleeping, will generally be found dead
in the morning, from the effects of car
bonic acid gas, generated in respiration.
He sets forth this as a fact, to show the
necessity of breathing pure air in Sleep
ing apartments, and sweeping argu-
ment against the old-fashioned, high
curtained bedSteads. A healthy man
respires about twenty times in min
ute, and inhales in that period about
seven hundred cubic inches of air; this
he eXhales again in the form of carbonic
acid gas and water, which vitiates the
atmosphere. Three and one-half per
cent. of carbonic acid gas in the air rem
ders it unfit for the support of life; this
shows how necessary it is to provide a
supply of pure air for the support of
respiration.
There are also certain facts which go
to prove that more danger exists-that
there is greater proneness of disease
during sleep than in the waking state.
In Turkey and Hindoostan, if person
falls asleep in the neighborhood of a
poppy field, over which the wind is
blowing towards him, he is liable to
"sleep the sleep that knows no waking"
The peasants of Italy who fall asleep in
the neighborhood the Pontine marsh
es are invariably smitten with fever.
Even travellers who pass the night in
the Campagna du Iona, inevitably be-
come more or less affected with the
noXious air, while those who pass
through without stopping escape the
marsh fever. Those who have travelled
in tropical climes, and who have been
attacked with bilious fevers, uniformly
ascribe the cause of their sufferings to
night exposure in the open air.
An English traveller in Abyssynia
has asserted that he could live in health
in that sickly country, by proper Sc
lection of the situation where he slept
every night. There is abundant evil
dence, it would appear, which goes to
prove that by proper attention to the
place where, and the circumstances un-
der which persons sleep, diseases may
be avoided.
The Bedford gazette. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1805-current, 1867-02-15

An eminent divine, remarkable for
the devoted piety and spotless purity
of his character, was heard to say that
he never read or heard of a crime in his
life, no matter how heinous, without
feeling an inward consciousness that
under certain conditions of education,
training or association, he might have
committed the same crime himself.
The same feeling must have been ex-
perienced more or less by all rejecting,
enlightened men; and yet-and yet,
how little charity there is in theworld.
