The Laws of Life, and Some
Hints About Children.

'The great secret of life, after all, is to fol-
low nature wisely and we'll"
Feed the body when it is hun
CRY; let it sleep, when it wants
sleep; give it a froic when it de-
serves it. The head contains the
brain, which is the king Of the
body, and commands all under
him, and it depends on his being
good or bad whether his subjects,
the legs, and arms, and body, and
stomach, and our old friends, the
bowels, are in good order and hap
py or not. Now, first, of all keep
the head cool Nature has given
it a night cap Of her own in hair,
and it is the best. And keep the
head clean. Give it a good scour-
ing once a week at least, and if it
gets sore and scabby the best
thing I know for is to wash it
with soft soap, and put big cab
bage blade on it every night
Then for the lungs, the bellows
that keep the fire of life burning;
they are very busy in children,
because bhe child is not like grown
up folks, merely keeping itself.
1t is doing this and growing, too,
and so it eats more, and sleeps
more, and breathes more, in pro-
portion, than big folks. And to
carry on all this business it must
have fresh air, and lots of it. So,
whenever it can be managed, a
child should have well-aired places
to sleep in. Then for the night
gowns--the best are long flannel
gowns; and children should be
always more warmly clad than
grown up people; cold kills them
more easily. Then there is the
stomach. Andas this is the great
manufactury and kitchen, it is al
most always the first thing that
goes wrong in children, and gen.
orally as much from too much being
put in as it is from it's food being
Of an injurious kind. A baby, for
nine months after it is born,
should have almost nothing but
its mothers milk. This is Gods
food, and it is the best and cheap
est too. Ii the body be healthy
it should be weaned at nine or
ten months, and this should be
done gradually, giving the baby
a little Cruel or new milk, or water
and sugar, or thin bread berry
once day for some time, SO as
| gradually to wean it. This makes
it easier for the mother, as well
baby. No child should get meat
or hard things till it gets teeth to
chew them, and no baby should
ever get drop of whisky or any
strong drink, unless by the doc
tors orders. Whisky to the soft
tender stomach of an infant is
like vitrol to ours; it is a burning
poison, and curse to its never
dying soul. AS you value your
children's health of body, and the
salvation Of their souls, never
give them a drop of whisky; and
let mothers, above all others, be
ware of drinking when nursing
The whisky passes from the stom

achs into their milk, and poisons
their own child. This is a posi-.
tive fact.-IA. Crane, M. d.

its footsteps westward, is at last

Now and then q foreigner has made
his way to some one of the South
ern States, and soon become so
favorably impressed with the coun-
try, that they have written to
their relatives and friends In the
old country, giving such glowing
and satisfactory descriptions Of
the advantages of the South over
all other portions of the American
continent, that emigrants, before
leaving home, are so favorably
impressed with our sunny land
that their inclinations are good to
come and settled among us if our
political troubles could be satisfac-
torily adiusted-if we could once
more be taken under the guard
ianship Of the Union Of States.

understood that he was the only
philosopher that ever made a re-
mark. Others have made remarks
also. This philosopher, however,
made particular remark-a re-
mark that was quite remarkable.
tits not essential to know to what
school of philosophy said philoso-
pher belonged. He may have be-
longed to the Eleatic school, or
the Heraclitan, or to the Sophis-
tic, or Peripatetic, or Socratic.
He may have spoken advisedly
when he made said remark, or it
may have been a spontaneous out
burst of an inward intuition. Per-
haps he had been discussing the
point with his diciples, and an
nOunced this as his ultimatum.-
Perhaps the truth did not dawn
upon him suddenly, as upon one
awakening to some angelic vision,
but was the slow, logical deduc-
ton of well founded sylogism.
Whether he arrived at the con-
clusion by the analytical or syn
thetic progress, by an experimen-
tai induction or a theoretic de-
duction, does not appear. 1t is
enough to know that he made the
remark.
The remark is a good remark
1t is more than a remarkable re-
mark-it is a good remark. It is
concise. 1t is unequivocal. It is
clear. It is not one of those re-
marks concerning which a great
deal can be said both pro and con.
1t shuts thep dialectician's mouth.
1t appeals directly to ones empiri-
cal natureTit is an axiom. The
man that can clothe truth in such
words that it will be accepted as
automatic has accomplished q
great thing. He has found a tru-
ism that will frighten a Sophist;
he has got down to a primary
principle; he is a philosopher.
Such was the man who made
the remark we are about to con-
slider. The remark is as follows /:
"De gustibas non disputand@m.h
This is the Latin version. The
English version may be rendered
as follows: There can be no dis
cussion about question of taste.
The mere fact that it is a question
of taste shuts offal debate. There
is no point upon which to hang
an argument.
There are a great many opin-
ions entertained in this world
which can be judged by some
exact and accepted standard, and
some to be erroneous. For exam
pie, if a man should express his
unswevering belief in the theory
that the moon was made of green
cheese, his opinion would be pro,
nounced absurd by men of intelli-
gence, and he himself would be
forced to don the FOOLS cap for a
decoration. In most matters, men
must make their opinions coincide
with certain pre-established stand
ards, and be able to fortify theil
opinions by facts and arguments
or else shoulder the obloquy o.
hugging some delusive phantom
merely for obstinac'y sake. Ii
other words, a mans opinions
must be founded upon the latest
discoveries of science, and thu
lates deductions of Ofphilosophy. A
man has no right now to hold tn,
opinion in geology that the eartl
is only six thousand years old, o
| in astronomy that the sun revoive
taround the earth, or in polite
that the people areamade for tn
king, or in theology, that th

u An exchange thinks the
prevalence of crime Throughout the
country is truly remarkable. Con-
sidering that Congress is made
up of thieves, murders, robbers,
and plunderers belonging to the
Republican party to so great an
extent, and considering that those
in authority have for years set all
laws at defiance, and won their
way to the positions they hold by
violence, we do not consider it any
thing remarkable.
