WIT AND HuMoR.-A New York Bob.
emian, speaking Of the price Of meat, said
that "beef was never so high since the
COW jumped over the moon" Now this
is pure humor, and the author oft laughs
with every body, and he laughs atnobody
| shall not attempt the difficult task of de-
fining wit and humor. Hazlitt says
'Dr Fuller's remark, the negro is the
image of God cut in ebony, is humor
and that Horace Smiths inversion of it,
that the task-master is the image Of the
devil cut in ivory, is wit" Wit and
humor are as closely related as the Siam
csc twins, and like that couple they 90 to-
gethcr, and it required sharp blade to
separate them. Fun is fine art and he
who is master of it well knew how to
stop short of that line which separates it
from the absurd and ridiculous. Wit is
crank, scornful, analytical. 1t makes
invidious contrasts, tosses analogies in
your teeth, spoils no good stories for re-
lation's sake. It shoots feathered shaft
before you can lift shield, and is sure to
nlt tenucr spot. Ii hiau were as IL
vulnerable as Achilles, whose soft spot
was in his heel, it would be sure to wound
him unless he wore thick boots, which.
unlike his lips, should be waterproof
Americans do not laugh enough. We
scarcely recognize the comic side Of life
Artemus "the delicious" as the author
Griffith Gaunt" calls him, shook our sides
with laughter, and few others did SO all
of them, however, can be counted on the
fingers Of two hands. These jokers have
made us laugh little when out Of the
range of the roars of bulls and bears in
Wall Street; but we, as people, have
failed to sustain first-class comic journals
The humor of Lowell and Holmes and the
wit of Sake are appreciated by few-the
choice few-bccause the aroma Of their
poetry gives pleasant odor to their mer
riment. Nlirth follows us in the street
and overtakes us at our occupations; it
tickles the rib of sleep, even. Why,t then
do we not respond to her exhibitions of
cheerfulness? From ''The Comic Side OF

To Train a Child.

A little tract issued for distribution by
the Ladies' Sanitary Association of Lon
don, gives these wise suggestions for the
nurture of children in health of body
and spirit:
l. Never refuse a thing If it is harm
less, but give it, ifyou are able, without
delay.
2. Never give anything because it is
cried for, that you have refused when
asked for.
3. Be careful to observe real illness.
and avoid causing bodily uneasiness
from overlooking, or cold, or unwhole-
some food, such as candy, sugar-plums,
sour fruit, or giving buns or cakes to
quiet the child.
4. Avoid false promises. They are
sur to be found out false.
). Avoid threats of all kinds. If be-
lieved, they make children timid, and
injure both mind and body; if not be-
lieved, they are useless. Such threats
as bogie, policeman, and black-man, are
sure to be found out TO be false, if the
child lives.
6. Never say any thing untrue TO a
child.
T.. Do not wreak your own bad tenn
per, or visit your W feelings of fatigue
and trouble on children, by being evere
with them, or by saying, "You shan't
have it." or 81 won't give it to you"
when there is no reason for refusal, eX-
cept that you are yourself tired, or in
trouble, or out of sorts.
S. Avoid giving orders, such as ''Stand
still" $50 on 'Hold your tongue"
Put it down. etc, unless you really
mean that they should be obeyed and
the fewer orders you give, the better.
8. Neither give too much pity, nor yet
be severe and unkind, when a child
tumbles down or hurts itself.
10. Do not worry a child. Let it alone,
and let il live in peace.
IL. Teach it early to play alone, and
amuse itself without your help. Let it
alone is a golden rule in nine cases out
of ten.
To sum up all in a few words, try to
feel like a child; to enter into its griefS
and joys, its trials and triumphs, Then
look forward to the time when it shall
have numbered as many years as yOu
have seen, and pray for help and strength
to do your duty by it. You may fail, as
we all may; but if you SOW the seed
with humility and faith, you will have
done all that is permitted to us imperfect
creatures; and if you have reared up a
cheerful, loving, truthful, and brave
spirit, in a healthy body, you have been
working with him who told US it was
met the will of our Father in heaven
that one of these little ones should per-
