Encourage Eour Children,

Encouragement works wonders with
almost ANYBODY, no matter what his occu-
patton in life may be. A boy likes 10 be
encouraged; so does a girl man likes
1t; also a woman and even the old
grandfather and grandmother, have a
relish FOR II. some parents often make
a mistake III NOT giving their children
credit when they TO thing we'll; and
some unintentionaiIy leta lesson that has
been studied very hard, or l piece OF
work that mas been we'll done, bv boy
OF girl, pass by without the least notice.
This discourages n child, and has 3 bad
effect otherwise. Encouragement puts
new lite in 8 child especially if it be be-
slowed by parent. Yet there are
people who, though anxious TO have their
children do Veil, are continually, and il
q ilSpiritiug way, telling them that they
sh0uljn'l d. So-aud-so, and that Is
wrong, aud .he other is wrong, without
ever having a !itlle friendly talk with
thcm, and giving them good advice, and
encouraging them when they DO right.
Some parents also make ;, mistake in
leaving the education of their children
wholly TO the schools They think that
if they send their children to school and
pay their way, they-the parents-are
doing their part, ami the children should
do theirs. This may work very well with
good boys, but with the careless, the
thoughtless, and the Indifferent it does

we suspend the respiratory movements"
Astonishment relaxes the muscles of the
arms. Fear causes ones legs to fail
him. In the play Of the face, however,
we find the best indications Of the
state of the feelings. Curious expert
ments have been performed upon the
muscles of the face. They can be made
to contract by means of electricity,
thus producing artifciallY all the
states of the soul. "The muscles of
the eye are adapted to expressions
of the higher order, and those
of the mouth to expressions Of more
gross, material kind. Every muscle of
any note has been tested, and named in
accordance with the kind of emotion
which usually plays upon it. Thus we
have the aggressor muscle, the muscle
Of suffering, the muscle Of joy, of salts
faction, Of sensuality, and so on. The
interesting part of it is that with good
galvanic battery and trained hand the
operator may play upon these notes of
the human face divine to any extent
without in the least incommoding or ex-
citing the subject. he may put the face
through whole opera of the passions
for the delight of spectators and the ad-
vancement of science, causing all the
signs, yet without the least glimmer Of
feeling in it, thus proving frog a new
point of view that this world is all .

physIoIogy of The PASSIONS.

The ancients, and Bichat after them,
located the various passions in tie diff
ferent organs of the viscera Gall first
proved that the passions affected first the
brain. and hence cannot have their seat
otherwise. The experimental physiolo-
gists of the present century have at last
unravelled the mystery, and shown the
complete mechanism. Sensations strike
the extremities of the nerves, and the
excitement is transmitted to the brain,
aud it is here where the feeling is ex
perienced. From the brain the reused
emotions strike straight downward to
the heart. The heart responds to our
emotions, as the hands to our will. "
Every agreeable or joyous emotion of
the soul excites the accelerator nerves
of the heart" The phrase, the
heart hutters with joy" is a
true one. Painful feelings act on
the retardor fbres of the heart, its con
fractions become laborious and clogged;
oppression of the heart, " the heart is
agonized," ready to burst, etc are again
true phrases. "While the heart seems
to be more directly under the influence
of the feelings, the lungs appear to have
some connection with thought. When
absorbed in some profound meditation
