Bread and Babies.
From the Rcvolution.l

From the Revolution.l
We are constantly asked, if women
vote, what will become of the bread
and babies .?
In view of the heavy bread, and bad
" cooked food we find on most tables,
and the shocking mortality among in
fants, we contemplate with wonder
and pity the blind faith of man in the
material and culinary intelligence of
'.the weak minded" who have no as
pirations beyond Heckers -four, Mrs
Winslow's soothing syrup, and Whee-
Ter & Wilson's sewing machine
Seeing that women have devoted
themselves through The ages to do
mestic economy and failed, as miser-
ably as men have in the art Of govern
ment, we have, after mature thought
come to the conclusion that just as
women's enlightened interest in po-
litical Questions will improve the state
so mems skill and science are nee
essary to render the home from its
present disorder, disease and death.
If there are two things We thorough
ly understand, they are babies and
bread, and for our knowledge of both
these divine arts we are indebted to
philosophical, scientific gentlemen.
The only valuable work we ever
saw on infancy was written by man,
Andrew Combe. Of Scotland, q close
observer, a sound thinker, and a
learned physiologist. We shall never
forget how tempest-tossed we were
when we first found oursel the happy
posscssor OF male child without the
slightest kno owledge of what to do for
his comfort and protection. An igno.
rant nurse fdgeted around the room
day and night, sang melancholy ditties
and rocked vehemently, while the
child cried continually with loud
voice, and we wept, prayed, and philos
ophized by turns. Reasoning on
general principles. we at last came to
the conclusion that inasmuch as the
child was large and vigorous, there
must be some mistake on the part of
the nurse that he was not quiet and
comfortable, we fortified Ourself in
that opinion by faithful reading OF
what Mr.. Coube. had to say on babies
in general. The result ofthis consid-
Grafton of his opinions was prompt
revolution in the whole nursery depart
ment, and q transfer Of pain from the
baby to the nurse, who stood humblsd

far out before ME. From the distant

ears on the whispering breeze. 1t is

sadly through my mind, Would you
see them, too!
Prominent among the first is a little
vine. clad cottage nestled afar off among
the hills. The woodbine and clematis
climbs over its walls, the honeysuckle
trails its branches around the door,
and the walk from The gate is studded
with llowers Of every hue. We lived
there all alone, nay mother and 1, to-

England" Bat upon the death of my
father, my mother Immediately crossed
the great waters to America. She was
a tall, dark woman, cold and reserved
with all save myself, her only child and
the darling of her heart. We had
formed no intimate acquaintanccs in
America, for my mother lived q very
secluded life, never receiving any com
psny, and never visiting even tAa few
neighnvrs around. And people knew
almost as little Of the cold Mrs. Ar

education might have been scant l

mother possessed a splendid education,
and spared no pains to instruct me in
every branch Of the sciences. We had
large library, and loved to read.
Many, many times, would l select =
book from the library and wander of
among the hills, and sit down beneath
the broad-spreading boughs of a
mighty oak; and while the birds in the
trees above would carol their lays of
praise to their Maker. and the little
playful brook at my Ioet would gambol
and frolic between its banks, laughing
and dinpling, and hiding from every
stray sunbeam, now peeping slyly up
at the sun between the tangled bougbs
of the oak, and now dartng on spark

light, and common sense walked in.
Oh what sighs, what grosns, what
doubtful shakings Of the head, what
suppressed laughter and whisperinss
in the hall We heard during tbs first
few days after the Inauguration of that
dynasty of health, happiness, and rest
to that new. born soul. When the
three hours cry begun that day, which
ancient danes assured us was Gus
tom that had been faithfully kept by
all the sons of Adam from time imme-
mortal, we ordered the little sufferer
to be promptly stripped to the skin
and put in warm bath; that brought
instant relief, after which he was dress

shoulders, with no swaddllng bands,
no pressure on the lungs or bowels,
and laid down to sleep. lie was fed
(according to Combe,) every two
hours by day, and but once during the
night. After that we had peace,
though eternal vigilance on our part WAS
its plice. The custom of pinaing babies
up as tight as drum is both cruel and
absurd, We asked the antiquarian
who tortured our first born in that
way, why she did itY "rhc bones Of
young babies are so soft and their
flesh 50 tender,' said she, "that they
are in constant danger Of dissolution
unless tightly pinioned together" We
soothed her fears by pointing to the
fact that colts and calves, puppies and
kittens, all lived and tlourished with
ont bandages, and for the benefit of
the race we said We would make the
experiment on one of the human fami-
| ly.
If babies are regularly fed, bathed
and comfortably dressed, and in Il pure
atmosphere, they will be. quiet and
healthy. The ignorance Of women on
these subjects is truly lamcntabe. We
have seen children year old that had
never tasted water, when they should
have it half Il dozen times day from
the hour Of their birth. We have
found fathers who worked hard all day
complain bitterly of being disturbed at
night by crying children, hence the
common use Of Mrs. Winslow's sooth-
ing syrup, which only tends to increase
the irritable condition Of the nervous
system, and permanetly weaken the
brain.
Young mothers no doubt imagine
that this Mrs. Winslow is some ex.
pcrienced, humane old lady, who loves
little children, knows just how TO
soothe them to sleep, and pilot them
through all the pitfalls Of infancy,
while in fact, this abominal syrup is
compounded by some ignorant man,
in whiskers, broadcloth, and boots,
who lives and fattcns on his i'll gotten
gains, while babies are sent by the
hrndreds to untmeIv graves, or made
idiots and lunatics for lilc.--Mrs. +.
