LET children grow. Give them time
for slow and natural development. Give
them freedom and liberty in things not
positively and permanently hurtful. What
matter if all their daily behavior is not
quite pleasant or perfect, if they show inn
provement and progress. Sow good seed,
anxious parent, cultivate with care. but
wait patiently for harcest if you wish good
fruit Suppose child does not sit as
straight as ramrod at table; suppose
cup or tumbler does slip through its little
fingers, the food below deluged, the COB
let smashed, and the table-cloth ruined
do not look cross, and break out with re-
proof Of what was unintended as ii it were
a willful wrong. Did you never let
glass slip through your fingers? Instead
of sending the child away in anger, or
with threatening words, why not be as
generous as to guest, to whom you
would kindly say, ut is of no conse-
quence." 1t is generally wise to take
little notice Of mishaps or bad behavior at
the time, and even to divert attention
from them at the instant Afterward, at
some appropriate time, draw the child's
attention to the improperly, fault, or lack
of suitable care, and point out kindly the
remedy.

of Matthew Bernard, as he walked into
the establishment of Harry Thomas.
"Halloa, Mat!-that you? You are
punctual, but / am ready" replied
Thomas, as the two friends shook hands
Business first, pleasure next, is my

"Then the little difference in results

from all liability, while yours is encum-
bered by cntangling alliances that may at
any time cause you trouble, if not loss,
| must claim that my exemption from
debt weighs heavily in my favor" replied
Matthew.
After many intcrchanges of personal
experience, and planning for the future,
the two friends separated.
Thomas pored over his ledger few
years, when failing health caused by too
close confinement and facilitating habits,
forced him to retire upon a capital of six
thousand dollars-sufiicient if judiciously
handled, to enable him to eat without the
sweat of his brow.
Bernard returned to his pillow, and by
hard labor and careful expenditure, in less
than five years more he was able TO, and
did, purchase Deacon Howland's farm,
free from cncumbrance and well stocked

over himself at the kind and quiet words
of the deacon.

Consumption.
Sometimes medicines that will stop cough will
often occasion The death of the patient. 1t locks up
the liver, stops the circulation OF the blood henor
orage follows, and, in fact, cogging the action OF
the very organs that caused the cough.
Liver complaint and dyspepsia arethe causes of
two-thirds of the cases OF consumption. Many are
new complaining with dull pain in the side, the
bowels sometimes costive and sometimes too loose
tongue coated, pain in the shoulder blade, feeling
sometimes very restless, and at other times drow-
sy: the food that s taken lies heavily the stom
ach, accompanied with acdty and belchng of
wind. These symptoms usually originate from
dsordered condition of the stomach or q torpid
liver. Persons affected, if they take one or two
heavy colds, and if the cough in these cases be
suddenly stopped, the lungs, liver and stomach
clog, and remain torpid and inactive and before
the patient is aware of his situation, the lungs are
mass of sores, and liberated, and death is the in.

Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is an expectorant,
which does not contain any opium, nor anything
calculated to check cough suddenly.
Schenck's Seaweed Tonic dissolves the food,
mixes with the gastric juice ofthe stomach, digests
easily, nourishes the system and creates healthy
circulation of the blood. When the bowels are
cOstive skin salow, and the patient is of bilious
habit, Schenck's Mandrake Pills are required.

there are thirteen or fourteen very ancient
