Enr~rhe in Children.

When a child's ear becomes painful, as

done to soothe it. and all strong, irritat-
inc applications should be avoided.

children suffer from their ears-unpitied

wiring the hearts Of those who love them
suddenly to discover. 1t IS often very
hard even for medical men to ascertain
that the cause of a young child distress
Is seated in the ear. aud frequently

ton Of pain, first reveals the secret OF
mysterious attack. which has really peer

THE CAREER OF PLEASURE.
BY MISS LANDoN.

BY MISS LANDON.
STAY thee on thy mad career;
Other sounds than Mirth's are near;
Fling not those white arms in air;
Cast those roses from thy hair;
Stop awhile those glancing feet;
still thy golden cymbals' beat;
Ring not thus thy joyous laugh;
Cease that purple cup to quaff;
Hear my voice of warning, hear,-
STAY thee on thy mad career!
Raise thine eyes to yonder sky
There is writ thy destiny;
Clouds have yelled the new moonlight;
Stars have fallen from their height.
These are emblems Of the fate
That waits thee, dark and desolate!
All Morn's lights are now thine own;
Soon their glories will be gone.
What remains when they departY
Faded hope and withered heart.
Like flower with no perfume
To keep memory Of its bloom.
Look upon that hour-marked round,
Listen to that fatetul sound;
There my silent hand is stealing,
NV more silent course revealng;
Wild. devoted Pleasure, here,-
STAY thee on thy mad career.
