Education of Children.

Like almost every other matter connected
with education, the foundation of good be-
havior should be laid in infancy. 1t is un-
reasonable to expect boy to say Thank
you, for example, for services rendered or
gifts bestowed, if in babyhood he has been
taught to regard all about him as willing
slaves, and TO accept voluntary offerings as
a right.
The first aim should be, not to teach chill
dren to assert their rights but to feel their
dependence on the good will of those who
serve them. Before child can understand
verbal reproof. he should be checked when
caught snatchiDg at things and ere ne can
utter his thanks in perfect laguage, that
sweet monosyllable ''ta'' should grace his
lips. An infant who was brought up on this
principle earned for himself the appelation
of the ''polite baby, from the habit he ac-
quired of making two short grunts in imlta-
tion of the words thank you, which he
perceived were always repeated for his lml-
tation whenever anything was given him.
Trivial as these occurrences seem, TO write
about, they are the best Illustrations OF the
principle to observe in educating the young,
viz to adapt our teaching to the feeble pow
ers of children's comprehension.
At time when almost every mental fac
ulty is undeveloped 1t is s,,folly to suppose that
precepts are comprehensive. The only way
to make them so is to demonstrate them by
example Example is the sole means of ap-
pealing to an uniformed intelligence. Long
before words have any meaning, the senses are
perfect in their working. Guided by these,
and these alone, a child would commit innu-
merable breaches of proprety; bat by direct
ing their course, and supplying fit objects for
them to work upon, tastes and habits become
healthy and refined; second nature is, in
fact, established, whose dictates are obeyed
instinctively. We Fudge men severely when
they display vicious propensities; but If the
nursery life of those individuals were known
our Judgment would often be tempered with
mercy. We should see that one who had
been habituaIly treated with cruelty could
not fail to be cruel, and that when cheating
and lying were constantly perpetrated In his
presence, nothing short of miracle could
prevent the man from becoming. cheat and
liar. Minor vices are of no less certain
growth. 1--WE are says Locke, "a sort OF
chameleon, that still takes tincture from
what is near us. :"

Electrical JeWalrv.


Nj. Trouve, a Parasian jeweler, has re-
Gently created quite sensation in that city
by the production of some remarkable gold
ornaments, consisting Of scarf pins, chains,
charms, and hair ornaments, In which, by
means of ingenious mechanism, moved by
| electricity, some curious and startling eff
tects are realized About fifteen articles of
this sort are advertised; first comes gren-
adler, In uniform, standing in front of a ga
blop, and beating drum, performing any
air desired; then monkey, seated upon a
drum, and playing a violin; Turks head
with cap on, which opens and shuts its
mouth and eyes deaths head in jockey
| cap, whose eyes and mouth also move; a
rabbit, striking alternately two small drum
sticks upon bell placed in front of him. a
double spherical bell, which sounds an alarm !;
Llliiputlan revolving magnet, which at
tains velocity of 100 to l20 revolutions a
second a rabbit similar to the one above
described, but with the movement uncover
ed; deaths head moving his eyes and
mouth, as if speaking; Turk, moving the
eyes horizontally and the lower jaw verti-
cally; monkey in spectacles, making grl-
maces, whose eyes turn through half cir
cumfe~ence and as the upper half has the
/ color OF the animal, it appears as if the eye
| lids dropped, as is the case with monkeys
a decapftated head upon table, which talks
and rolls its eyes.
These are all arranged to be worn as scarf
pins, and Of course are very small For
charm, NJ. Trouve makes minute theatri-
cal stage, upon which two figures, Harlequin
and -Columbine, execute a ballet. One of
the most beautiful head ornaments described
is hummng bird, studded with diamonds,
which moves both its wings and TAIL
The power by which all these life-like
movements are produced, is obtained from
minute battery, placed in the waistcoat
pocket, or in some part of the dress or for
the head ornaments it may be concealed in
the folds of the hair. 1t consists of plate
Of zinc and one of carbon, contained within
closely fitting case, which is half filed
with an acid solution of !. mercuric sui
phate. So long as the case remains upright
the liquid does not come In contact with the
plates, and there is no action but on in
verting it, or placing it horizontally, cur
rent is set in motion which continues until
the zinc or the solution is exhausted. The
electricity thus developed is conveyed to the
jewels by a fine, flexible, metallic cord, and
they are put in action by simply reversing
the battery case. The time during Which
these movements continue is quite remarka-
bic. In death head aud rabbit, like
these just mentioned, they have been mann
tanned during nine hours day, for six
months uninterrupted, without exhausting
the battery.

EMBRACE YOUR MOTHER.

Love thy Mother, little one,
Kiss and clasp her neck again;
Hereafter she may have a son
Will kiss and clasp her neck in vain.
Love thy Mother, little one.
Gazs upon her loving eyes, =.
And mirror back her love for thee
Hereafter thou may'st shudder sighss
To meet them when they cannot see
Gaze upon her loving eyes.
Press her lips the while they glow
With love that they have often told;
Hereafter thou may'st press in woe,
And kiss them till thine own are cold.
Press her lips the while they glow.
0 revere her raven hair,
Although it be not silver gray;
Too early death, led en- by care,
May snatch, save one dear lock, away
o revere her raven hair.
Pray for her at eve and morn,
That Heaven may long the stroke defer
For thou may'st live the hour forlorn,
When thou wilt ask to die with her.
Pray for her at eve and morn
