"Grant as Soldier and Statesman"

A publisher ct Hartford, Conn.,, sends
US the leading pages of a proposed book,
bearing the above title, with the promise
that he will send us copy for good no
tice, &c. We beg leave to differ with the
gentleman we dop't want the book. We
know enough of Grant as soldier; the
truest account we can get is, that he is a
man of spirits as to his S,atesmanship
we want none Of his mongreli>m. We have

seDgers in that car at the time of the acci-
dent. Only two persons are known to
have escaped from this car, and these

A PLEA FOR THE LITTLE FOLKS.

Don't expect too much of them; it las
taken forty years, it may be, to make You
what you are, with all their lessons OF
experience ; and ] dare say you are IA faulty
being at best. Above all, don't expect
judgement in child, or patience under
trials. Sympathize in their mistakes and
troubles, don't ridicue them. Remember
not 10 measure child's trials by your
standard "As one whom his mother
comfortcth, says the inspired writer, and
beautifully DOES he convey TO us The deep
faithful love that ought TO he found in ev-
cry woman's heart, the uufaiIiuS sympa-
thy with all her children's eriefs. When
see children going to their father fer
comfort, | am sure there is something
wrong with their mother.
Let the memories of their childhood be
as bright as you can make them. Grant
them every innocen, pleasure in yonr pow
er. We have often felt our temper rise
CID see how carelessly their little plans ARE
thwarted by older persons, when a little
trouble on their part would have given a
child pleasure the memory of which woull
lat lifetime. Lastly, don't think child
a hopeless case because it betrays some
very bad habits. We have known chill
dren that seemed to have been born thieves
and liars. so early did they display these
undesirable traits, yet We have lived to see
these children become noble men and wo-
men, aud ornaments to society. We must
confess they had wise, afftctiouate parents.
And whatever else you may be compelled
TO deny your child by your circumstances
in life, give it what it most values, pleuty
Of love. -Episcopdl Methodist.
