CHILD LIFE IN suAkERpoa.

ehildren's order. under the charge Of
sisters designated to care for them. and
she commences at once to instil into
their minds the glOries of the creed.
In their management never blow is
struck. Refractory enes are punished
by being laid fat ON the floor. face down.
When they have been kept thus pros-
trate for length of time. they are tax
en- up and talked 70. the enormity of
their offences pointed cut and are ex-
horted TO behave better in the future.
Those from eight to dozen years of
ago SO TO confession every Saturday,

little sins Of the week that have escaped
the notice of their guardians. And as
they receive special approval after an
apparently very full confession. they
early learn to cOnjure up quite enor.
nous stories, knowing that they gull
their eonfessor into a deeper belief in
their peuitence. Now don't you feel
better after confessing all that ? asks
the ancient virgin who has heard the

AVERSION TO MANUAL LABOR.


The practice of educating boys for the
professions which are already overstock-
ed, or for the merchantile business, in
which statistics show that ninety-fiye in
a hundred fail of success, is fearfully
on the increase in this country. Amer
leans are annually becoming more averse
to manual labor; and to get living
by ones wits, even at the cost of inde-
pendence and self-respect, and fearful
wear and tear of conscience, is the am
bition of large proportion of our young
men. The result is that the mechanical
professions are becoming monopoly of
foreigners, and the ownership Of the fin
est farms. even in New England, is pass
ing from Americans TO Irishmen and
Germans. Fifty years ago father was
not ashamed to put his children to the
pillow, or to mechanical trade; but now
they are "too feeble" for bodily labor;
one has a pain in his side, another
slight cough, another very delicate
constitution, another is nervous; and so
poor Bobby, or Bill or Tommy is sent
off to the city TO measure tape, weigh
coffee, or draw molasses. 1t seems new
er to occur to their foolish parents, that
moderate manual labor, in the pure and
bracing air Of the country. is just what
these puny, waspwaisted lads need, and
that to send them to the crowded and
unhealthy city. is to send them to
their graves. Let them follow the plow,
swing the sledge, or shove the fore
plane. and their pinched chest viii be
expanded, their sunken checks pumped
out, and their lungs, now "cabined, Grip
ped. and confined" will have nnnnn to
play. Their nerves will be inyigorated
with their muscles; and when they shall
have cast off their muscles; and when
they shall have cast off their jackets. in
stead Of being thin, pale vapid cOxcombs
they shall have spread out to the size
