FRUIT FOR CHILDREN.

Fruits have been marked as the special
enemies of childhood the things to be
avoided at that age above all the rest
Farmers, unable to keep their children out
of their orchards, have been known to cut
down their fruit trees 80 as to place the
pernicious things beyond their reach; and
nothing is more common than to hear men
and women predicting that "the season is
going to he sickly because their is so much
fruit" 1t would be difficult to conceive of
any notion more absurd than this; and yet
it has had for many hundred years tho
sanction of the highest medical authority.
One of the precepts that have come down
to us from the most ancient school of med
icine founded in Christendom contains a
warning against the enjoyment of these
rich gifts of Providencs-Autumnni fruc-
tus caoeas, ne stint ti5i lustus; and we'll and
faithfully has the precept been inculcated
by the successors of the faculty of Saler-
mum. Instinct and reason, however, have
begun at last to prevail over the heresy,
and now physicians, generally, when asked
an opinion, say, "Eat all the fruit you
want, the more the better" And indeed
nothing could be more sensible than this
answer. / am not sure that the sense Of
languor and lassitude SO generally felt in
spring is not owing to the want of fruit;
from which probably results state of the
system bordering upon scurvy. BY sub
acid fruits and the vegetables of summer
that scorbutic tendency is corrected, and
in autumn, as consequence, the acme Of
health is attained. On this account I
should place foremost among the culinary
inventions of our times the art of preserv.
ing fruits in the fresh state all the year
round.-Home and School.

g Cut your coat according to the
CLOTH" is an old maxim and wise one;
and if people will only square their ideas
according to their circumstances, how much
happier we might all he. If our notions
were in accordance with our waning fort
unes, happiness would be always within our
reach, 1t is not what we have or what we
have not which adds to or subtraots from
our felicity. 1t is the longing for more
than we have, the envy Of those who pos
sess more, and the wish to appear in the
world of more Importance than we really
are, which. destroys our peace OF mind, and
eventually leads to ruin.

when sober, than when drunk, or partially
So We have many instances of the effect
of "free liquor in our ewn midst and all
about us, where gangs of men are often
kept necessarily idle by the intemperance
of one of their number. So great is this
evil in some cases, that one at least of our
largest manufacturing companies in Cecil
county, was compelled to make it rule to
discharge all hands who persisted in their
habits of inebriation, in order to prevent
their business from being thrown into dis
order, and themselves into loss by the
Irregularities of such hands.
We have now given brief view of the
pecuniary loss to our State, resulting
largely from our licensed liquor trade
Who can estimate the loss of mind and
intellectual power that has fallen victim to
this narcotic stimulus? Who are those
most susceptible to the influence of alco-
holic drink =? Are they not our young men
eff fine sensibilities and keen intellectual
faculties? Where are the students that
graduate with honors in our best collegs,
or that pass the best examinations as law
yers or doctors? Look about you and see
what is now the standing of those who
were societies brightest ornaments twenty
years ago. A few shattered wrecks are
left of men who should have been orna-
ments to our society.
But let US draw the curtain on this pic
ture of the destruction, woe and misery
that is eating like cancer into the very
vitals of the body polite, and see how we
stand in regard to it. Are We doing our
full duty in the removal of it, or are we
still crying, "Peace! peace! when there is
no peace" and nursing in our bosoms a
viper that is singing us with his poisonous
fangs in every member?

They come from rude built cots and man.
sions fair,
Across the fields and down the dusty
street,
Some thinly clad with little brown feet
Yet, all are happy, when at morn they
meet.
When from the schoolroom rings the
warning bell,
Their shouts and laughter suddenly
abate,
Behind the dingy desks to read or spell
Before the teacher, book in hand they
wait.
pour
Ger tasks the young mind scarce can
comprehend,
Some llstlesS ones stare idly on the floor,
Or through the window, glad when
school hours end.
Day after day, the same books through
and through,
The patient teacher guides each wander
ing mind,
Though vexed with countless cares, she
must renew
The love of Truth, with words and ac-
lions kind.
But sometimes when the clouds hang dark
above,
And rain drips thrc' the roof and crealsy
frame,
IT'S hard to smile and whisper words of
love,
To them who heed not praise, and feel
not shame.
Some careless hand slams shut the creak-
ing door,
New books, and copies clean get soiled
and tore,
All join in asking questions DER and DER,
And noisy feet track Ger the dusty floor.
Her heart grows weary of this irksome
life,
Of coaxing girls, and driving stubborn
boys,
She longs to flee from such continual strife
And feel once more fresh youths ecstatic
joys,
But when dismissed, aud all speed swiftly
home
The house seems lonely; then she locks
the door
And wonders where their erring feet will
roam,
If all will come next morn as oft before.
When morning sunlight glds the cloudless
skies,
With stronger faith she meets the youth
full tnrong,
And gently leads them all, with kind re-
plies
To cling to righteousness, abhoring
wrong,
God bless the earnest efforts to impart
True wisdom, till this feeting life be
past;
Then joy ineffabe will thrill her heart
To meet those dear ones safe in Heaven
at last. J. Ink.
