How to Bring Up Il Child.

BEGIN with considering him the best,
and brightest and most beautiful child
upon the face of the EARTH Look upon
him as the eighth wonder of the world!
Tell everybody so. Keep telling them so
until he is big enough to hear and under
stand, for he should not be suffered to
grow up in ignorance Of his own import
ance.
Stuff him with sugar plums when he
cries 1t will teach him to cry more, that
he may get more sugar plums. 1t will
give him a suggestive lesson in causes and
results. He ought to cry. Healthy chill
dren always cry, and it is healthy TO listen
to them. Crying develops the lungs
wards off early consumption.
Always let him have his own way. If
you do not, 1t will break his spirit, and
what is a boy good for whose spirit has
been brokcng
Soomon's head was not level when he
said: "Spare the rod and spoil the
child" Probably his brain was softcning.
| Ask him to do it if he pleascs, but if he
doesn't please, never oblige him to. 1t
might rouse his temper and give him an
attack of collie or indigestion.
If he should become disobedient and
impudent, as perhaps he may-children
are liable to--consult doctor at once.
| If you fee this gentleman well, he will tell
| you that the child has too much brain;
| large mental activity; mind of unusual
precocty," etc, etc, all of which will be
| pleasant for you to hear, since ii will give
you the idea that you have brought gen.
ius into the world He will tell you that
the child mustn't be crossed. You must
be careful how you deny him what he
wants. Must not let him get angry. Let
him have his way.
After he gets older, he will be likely to
learn the manly science of profanity and
the gentlemanly accomplishments OF
drinking and gambling
Well, youthful spirits must be run off
in some way-must have some outlet. Say,
as thousands have said before YOU that
you would rather have two knaves than
one fool in the family. That is very
nice way Of putting it, and consoling too.
Make much Of his bright sayings. Re
peat them TO your friends, if they don't
| see wit in them, il is because they haven't
brains enough to see wit in anything.
Let him begin young to order the ser
want, so as to get his hand in" Give
him all the money he wants to spend.
! Let him go out evenings. Don't tie him
| TO his mothers aprOn-strings and make
milk-sop Of him.
If he calls you governor" and his
mother the old gall" don't reprove him.
1t is only young America cropping out,
and isn't America "the land of the free
and the home of the brave?"
Get him revolver by the time he is
ten, SO that he may be ready for cmergen-
cies-a watch, and revolver, by all
means At eighteen he will need u fast
horse and a betting book
Pcrsevere in this course, and by the
time he is twenty-five the world will have
heard from him at the end Of rope, or in
Congress- can foresee which.
In this democratic country who can
predict ultsg-NeU York Weekly.

"A new schism has occurred in the
Catholic Church of Prussia. A number

named them Estate Catholics" The per-

THE Boston I'rareller thinks 1t some
what remarkable that the temporary in
sanity" SO much spoken of in these days,
never incites its subjects to do benevolent
deeds, but always works toward crime.
Several persons" 1t says, "who are cx,
tremely well-to-do, have recently commit
ed the highest criminal oficnses; it has
been proved that at the moment they were
insane; it has also been proved that some
of them at previous periods Of their exis'
tence had exhibited signs OF insanity,
these being so noticeable in some cases as
To render confinement necessary; and yet
no one of these persons was ever accused
of having done benevolent deed while
temporarily insane. 1t Is somewhat
strange that the effects of this temporary
insanity should always assume the form
Of crime"

THE ADVENT OF THE MOSQUITO.
BY H. S. coRNwELL

BY II. S. CoRNwELL.

Assassin Of the night!
With all his starving family,
To put my dreams t" flight.
And iry and settle his small bills,
And take draft at sight.
hear again the dreadful sound,
That tells me who is near;
hear him wind his horrid horn,
And whet his poisoned spear;
He sounds the rattle blast, and ah
feel that he is near.
I'm vain the rank cigar smoke,
Quite wild and desperate grown
In vain try TO drive him ozt,
And shut the window down,
For still hear those tranquil pipes
MonOtonously drone!
n vain with patent canopies
NV restless couch spread;
No sooner do close my eyes,
And settle well my head.
eel sort of faintness, like
A patient being bled.
Ike Cook among the cannibals,
IT'S useless to appeal,
Or like a mummy wind myself
In sheets from head to heel!
The hungry wretch has picked me out
To make himself meal.
His sucker, like a burglars drill,
Would pierce an iron door;
He loves, as Alexander did,
To wade in human gore,
And like the Hoosac tunnel, he's
An everlasting bore!
You only put your finger down,
To find he isn't there;
For now he's nibbling at your nose
Or dancing in the air.
Or doing something in your ear,
Before you are aware.
A child is he Of Jersey swamps,
Where, mid the fens and fosscs
He cultivates his dapper wings,
And nurturcs his proboscis,
And promenades on slender stills,
Among the human MOSES.
But yet his faults may not suffice
Ali merit TO etface,
For sinner never yet was born
Without some spark OF grace;
And he is phianthropist-
He loves the human race
I've rubbed the room with camphor gum,
To modify the air;
But still | hear its hateful hum
About me everywhere,
And were not Methodist,
I'd undertake to swear.
Oh, bear me to some frozen cline
Where polar tempests blow!
On train oil could gaze unmoved,
Or Green1and's cliffs OF snow.
And be content to pass my days,
Among the Esquimaux.
