:, MEMORY ONLY.-In our large cities
the race Of children is extinct. Fsshiona-
Die and high pressured civilization have
destroyed it. We no longer see around
US that tribe Of joyous, light-hearted lit
ue creatures, in whose laughter there
was sweetest music. in whose prsnks and
Paslmes there was innocent and health
lul amusement. We only see demure
aua staid young masters and misses,
trained to comport themselves in the
most exact manner before company, and
70 regard the promptings of their nature
as worthy only of repression and avoid
"nce. Almost from the moment they
afe able to toddle on their feet, the
children OF our middle and upper classes
are taught to behave in q constrained
aha artificial manner. They walk, talk,
ana play by rule, and early learn the diff
ference between company and home
manners. Then, in few years, when
lucy lucy become old enough to notice the
!, H'ess ~ tney wear and to pay attention to
~, .ne lessons Of vanity and display they
