TIE CROW.
Aside from the special question of
profit and loss, we have warm side to-
wards the crow-he is so much like one
of ourselves. He is lazy, and that is hu-
man. He is cunning, and that is hui
man. He taxes advantage of those weak
er than himself, ard that is MAN lie.

what instructive disregard of others

fishness, by mere brute force. he with

refined. equally intelligent with himself,

showing a really human providence.
He learns tricks much faster than he
does use al things. exhibiting true boy
nature. He thinks his own color the
best, ard loves TO hear his own voice,
which are striking traits Of humanity.
He will never work when he can get

MAkR HONS ATTRACTIVE.
No child, however sentimental. will
love home simply because it has the
name of one. If we would have our
children love tive must make it lovely
we must give them something to love
in the home. Now i; the principal ideas
which child has of his hon are, that
it is place where he gets his meals and
where he sleeps. Where. if he is little, he
is perpetually found fault with. Where
he must keep quiet. Where. at night
fall. he must sit stupidity waiting till bed
time, or, if he has crown older he can
only deem it a dreary homo in which he
must employ himself as best he nay,
while his father sits at his paper, or
dozes in his char-and the mother is
silently busy with ber sewing or her
book.
If such be the aspect of home, one
need not wonder that children learn to
look else where for pleasure, and seek to
find amusement in other circles, or that
home is forsaken rs soon as it is possible
to leave it. 1t is practicable and very
easy to make Home SO delightful and
pleasant that children will have no dis.
position to wander from it, or to prefer
any other place. 1t is possible to make
it so attractive that il will not only firm
ly hold its own loved ones. but will
draw others into its cheerful circle. Let
the house. ali day long, be the scene of
pleasant and cheerful looks. pleasant
words, of Rind and affectionate acts.
Let the table be the happy meeting place
Of . merry group. and not a dull board
where sileLt, if not sullen company
of animals come to feed. Let the meal
be the time when a cheerful laugh is
heard and good things are said-let the
sitting room at evening be tho place
whore smiling company settle themselves
to books or games till the round of good
night kisses are in order. Let there be
music in the household. music not Kept
like silks or srtins to exhibit to visitors.
but music in which father and mother
sister and brother join. Let the young
companions be welcomed and made, for
the time. . part Of the gr up, so that
daughters shall not deem it necessary to
seek the oh>curity OF back parors with
intimate friends. OF TO drive father ard
