Into nv chamber window, ou the soft air Of

mass through the quiet village street 90 their
way 10 school. draw nearer the window, that
may look into the fresh rosy faces OF the lit

voice.
Mamma says | can have my choice between
a gold bracelet and some coral earrings,
chimes in the first speaker.
Helen hasn't got any jewelry except a gold
pin = scorufuy exclaimed a little girl.
''Oh, oh - cry all the children and while
| wonder if my ears have been playing me false,
the chorus OF dSdaintul voices dies away IN the
distance.
A group of miniature young ladies in short
clothes have been chatting under my window
their long hair was crimped, and their little
dresses cut and trimmed to the latest style.
4 love of dress seems innate with some chill.
drcu. | know bright little girl of tour who
escapes on every opportunity to her mothers
snare room, there TO array herself before the
mirror n all the fucry the closet and bureau
drawers afford.
This innocent fondness for dressing up"
which doubtless springs in part from children's
love of imitation, is fostered and encouraged by
,houghtless parents till the sweet unconscious
charm of childhood is lost forever. But this
is not the worst result. With burning lndlg-
nation which cannot fDd expression in words, |
a-k you, oh foolish mother, oh thoughtless
father, what sort of women these children OF
yours will make? Gifted as they are with
ouick perce ptions, receptive minds, and won
dcrlul powers of imitation, have you taken care
to surround them with ennobling influences? ?
With painful forebodiog We read the answer
in the faces Of our little friends, in the con-
temp,uous pity with which they regard the
children of the poor. Their little airs and at-
f:ctations are amusing, but they will surely end
in vanity and vexation OF spirit.
What wonder that we see among us so many
shallow, frivolous young women!
1t is said that Queen Victoria, when child,
was kept 10 total Ignorance of her rank TIL she
accidentally discovered it by looking into an
almanac Our country might gain infinitely 10
noble seusible women if the children OF we'll
lo-do parents were taught that money and hne
clothes entitled them to no superiority over 9TH
err, and that no ornament IS des rived or at all to
be compared with the ornament OF meek and
quiet spirit.
Volumes are written against the weakness
the idleness of fashionable young ladies. But
at if we would bring about reform, let US
begin with the children; for lust as the twlg is
bent, the trees inclined."

WINTER FooD FOR Stock. crop OF hay
in the North has been poor, and the New iork
Cultlvator is urging farmers to provide for their
stock by calling in new resources for winter
food. Here the hay crop has been fine; but
nevertheless it is always good to look TO the
means Of wintering stock. The Cultivator re-
cOmulends straw with corn-meal, and gives ad-
vice about cutting grain with view to the pre-
scrvation Of the nutritye qualities Of the straw.
But as we have none to cut now, the advice
would be of no use here. With regard to cut
ting corn in order to preserve the stalks and
blades for cattle, we quote what the Cultvator
says:
"Corn-sta are probably of still more bene-
tit. Although they are hay with the grains, yet
they seem to contain more substance, or at least
more that is available, and are better rclished,
only, however, when cured the same as the
straw Cut when the corn is glazed, and put in
stocks, as with the grain. If the fall is favoIa-
Die one, long and dry, the stalks will be SO vel!
cured that it may be put in considerable bulk If
hot packed too close. Otherwise, If the season IS
rather moist it must be more distributed, or
1t will spoil. Some of our best diarymen feed
the whole stalk; others pass it through the cut
ter There seems to be but little difference.
There will be little left if fed in small quantl-
lies Of course 10 such Il case 1t would De uooe
oiener. The way is, as We have noted With
The greatest satisfaction, to divide feed. Give
half the feed some half an hour before the reg
ular time, aud then, when consumed, give the
rest. Thus there will be little or nothing to
breathe over. We presume this would apply
to straw or hay as we'll. Where there is root
crop or iodder-corn Of course SO much the
better.
Meadows having crop removed, and the
