AIR AND CHfLDREN.-Chil-
ldren soon become puny and
diseased if confined to impure
air. Few things serve so much
to impart heath and 7igof to
lsickl5 and puny children as free
access to the pure, open air of
Heaven. Nurseries should be
kept sweet, clean and well ven
itilated, the afr in them not con-
'sumed BY too many lungs.
Even infants should be carried
abroad as early and as freely
as prudence will allow. 1t is
becoming a common thing in
the cities for nurse girls to
spend d large share Of all the
pleasant days in the open air
with the children.

The man whose first bet at a
race course, whose first deal at
a card table, whose first risk at
faro, or whose maiden lottery
ticket, brings much money into
his pocket, is a ruined man at
the very instant that the world
calls him 'lucky. Any man,
especially any young man, who
starts out in life with the con.
lviction' that money can. be
better made than by earning it,
is a lost man already to society,
lost to his family and to HIM
self.

The Injunction Against the Thirteenth
and Fifteenth Streets Railroad Made
Perpetual, and the Great Highway to be
Kept Clear.
Court of Common PleGs-Jttdge Allison,
Judge Allison this morning delivered an opinion
in the application for an Injunction 10 restrain the
Thirteenth and Fifteenth Streets Passenger Railway
Company from laying tracks on Broad street, under
a consolidation with the Navy Yard, Broad Street,
and Fairmount Passenger Railway Company. He
held that the roads not connecting railroads in
the meaning OF the act that the act OF 1861 relating
to Connecting railroads did not apply to the city pas
seDger railway companies, ana that therefore the
consolidation OF the two companies was wholly
illegal and void. And even though 1t had been law
full the ordinance OF 1885, by which the city, in
sidefaton OF the defendants abandoning the right to
lay tracks on Broad street, granted them the prlV
lege OF making a circuit on Spring Garden street,
which was accepted by defendants, would be fatal
to their case. The injunction applied for was then
made perpetual. -,
