Fixing the Habits.

The great secret of child-training is the
formation Of habits. A child can learn a
rule by habit, long before it can understand
precept or principle.
Some religious people object to children
being taught to practice works Of piety be-
fore their hearts are inspired with the love
of God through the teaching Of the Spirit,
lest Journalism should harden the heart. and
sefrighteousness close it against conviction
of sin and the necessity Of the new birth TO
make any acceptable to God But while
such evils cannot be too carefully guarded
against, it is plain that right habits may
be formed, and no harm done, but on the
contrary, much good.
Those who oppose the teaching Of chill
dren to pray, OF to perform any other re-
ligious exercise, are careful to form in them
habits Of truthfulness, honesty, Sabbath
observance, and the like; yet these are,
eminently, works Of piety, aud unless spir-
itually performed, arc 10 themselves Of no
account towards God, however useful to-
ward men.
Good habits arc good things, and chill
drcu who are trained in them will thank
fully acknowledge, when their eyes are
spiritually opened, how much easier they
make a holy walk, and how much Gin they
have saved them from.
The habit Of almsgiving ought 20 be
carefully formed Children should learn
that IL is not optional with them 20 give
that God claims a portion from al, and that
il is no more sentimental goodness, u be
admired aud appIaudod in them, when they
share their little possessions with the poor.
but fragment Of due, aud as stringent a
duty az il is 10 spread the truth Selfish
ness will not receive any true and lasting
check iii spiritual life begins; but self
denial, in order 70 discharge this duty, may
be successfully induced, and when the heart
Is enlarged, tho spontaneous Offering will
come without the let and hindrance Of par
simouious and niggardly habits.
The love Of money is the root Of all evil
Let your children learn that money Is no
more their own than the breath they breathe;
that the penny they bestow in true charity.
or The coin they drop 10 the collecting plate,
is merely the rendering 20 God the things
that are Gods, and no meritorious act.
IL need scarcely be added, that unless a
child gives Of It's Own, it is a mimic act aud
useless, let il be shown not only that a
ireewill Offering is necessary, but that We
must not give to God that which costs ne
nothing Parents should also specially re-
member, that the gifts Of their children
ought 20 be voluntary OF the young, AZ
pei s. those Of riper years, Il is true God

A Corpse Drioiag Horse Through he Street.

A Corpse DriCiag Horse Through he Street.
DR. William Burdett, who resided at No.
800 South Cherry st, died at o'clock last
evening under the peculiar circumstances.
About half an hour previous to his demise
he bad driven TO the residence Of Conduc-
tor Edwards Wells, near the Decatur depot,
who lay very i'll Of inhammatory rheuma-
tism. After leaving some instructions
with his patient he got into his buggy and
started his horse homeward
Sudden death, like a stroke Of lightning,
overlook him, probably before he had driv-
en- more than few hundred yards, and the
late living, speaking, human being, who
few moments before had talked calmly and
quietly, after his usual manner, to patient
and that patients family, and had even
joked with asiittle boy whom be met by the
street side as he entered his buggy, still
sat stark and stiff, upright upon his seat,
the reius clutched in his hands, staring
eyes looking out upon the street driving
homeward-a corpse. Father of Us all !
what was it that those who met that horse
and vehicle saw in the face Of the driver
that made them shudder and hurry on a
lifeless eyes, and il was be who guided the
uuknowing horse, Flooding or 20 HE ate
masters door, aud those who looked into
that vehicle felt something awful and in
defuable. and made them shadder, perhaps
aud hasten Involuntary forward
The horse drew up at the familiar hitch
ing post, but no master descended and he
stood gently paving the ground, anon jerk
ing the lines, but be got no answer to these
signals, however oft repeated. No familiar
voice which had so often chided or cheered
him in long jaunts. Then he pricked back
his ears and jerked the reins little harder,
and listened, but there was no response,
save the grating of the leather over the
dashboard. What could it all mean And
now Mrs. Burdett looks out Of the window
and says, well, l declare, the Doctors
come, but why don't he get outY She
looks moment, but he doesn't move, and
she says, perhaps he wants something, and
;hcn she trips out to the street, looks up in
to the buggy and says, well, William,
what is itY No answer. And then she
bends forward little, and the light shines
fuller on the figure there. 1t Is her hus-
band, but the face is liyid aud the eyes
blindly staring. William oh, William =
and she grasps him by the hands, still
clutching the reins; they are cold and
stiff He is dead
Through the assistance of several gentle
men, DR.. Burdett's body was taken into the
house, where Coroner Brien held an inquest
over bis remains The jury returned a
verdict that he came to his death from dis
ease of the heart.-NahUiUe Banner.

1N-GRowING TOE NAILS. This most
painful Of the diseases Of the nails is caus-
ed by the improper manner Of cutting the
nail generally of the great toe), and tho
wearing n narrow, badly made shoe. The
nail beginning to grow too long, aud rather
wide at the corners, is often trimmed around
the corners, which gives temporary relief.
But it then begins to grow wider in tho
side where it was cut of and, as the shoe
presses the flesh against the corner, the
nails cuts more and more into the raw flesh,
which becomes excessively tender and irri-
table. If this state continue long the toe
becomes more aud moro painful, liberated,
aud fungus (proud fesb,) sprouts up from
the sorest points. Walking greatly incrcns-
es the suffering, till positive rest becomes
Indispensable.
TREATMENT. We omit all modes of
cutting out the nail by the root, and all
other cutting or torturing operations. Be

to the tender part of small quantity of per-
chloride Of iron. IL is found in drug stores
in a fluid form, though sometimes in powder
There is immediately a moderate sessation
of pain, construction, or burning. In few
minutes the tender surface is felt to be dri-
ed up, tanned, or mummifed, and it ceas-
os to be painful. The patient, who before
could not put his foot to the floor, now finds
that he can walk upon it without pain BY
permitting the hard, wood-liko flesh to re-
main for two OF three weeks, IL can be cas-

ASHES A SPECIFIC FOR FRUIT TREES.
DR.. Geo. i. Wood, Of Philadelphia, has
communicated to the American Phioso-
phical Society, Of which he was President,
the results of experiments made by him
which indicate that uneacbed wood ashes
applied around peach aud apple trees, give
them renewed life and activity, aud greatly
promote vigorous bearing. Decaying trees
have been wonderfully stimulated into
healthy growth, by digging four or five
inches deep around the base Of the stem
scraping away the worms and Sling the
hollow thus made with fresh wood ash
es. This was done in the fall discs, and
the following spring they put forth brigh .
green leaves, and bore a crop Of fruit far
exceeding anything they had done previ-
ously. All o. bis orchards so treated rive
promise Of great crops Of fruit also this
present season.
