Overgoverning Children.

Children often brought up with
out any particular habits Of self
government, because the govern
ing is done for them and on them.
A girl that is never allowed to
sew, all of whose clothes are made
for her and put on her till she is
ten, twelve, fifteen or eighteen
years of age. is spoiled. The mo-
ther has spoiled her by doing eve
rything for her, The true idea of
self-restraint is to let the child ven.
ture. A child's mistakes are often
better than its non-mistakes be-
cause when child makes mis-
take, and has to correct them, it is
on the way toward knowing some
thing. A child that is walked up
every morning, and ne yer wakes
himself up; and is dressed. and
never makes H. istakes about being
clean and is fed, aud never has
anything to do with its food and
is watched, and never watches
himself; and is cared for, and
kept all day from going wrong,
such a child might about as well
be a talIow candle, perfectly
straight. aud solid, and comfy and
unvital, and good for nothing but
to be burned up.
The poor weaver who has a
large family of children, without
bread enough for halt of them, and
sets hem to work before 'Fhey are
five years old, is a philanthopist.
You may gather around hem, and
mourn over them but blesse d be
the weaver's children. The twelve
children of the poor weaver will
turn out better than the twelve
children of the millionaire. /
would rather take an insurance on
the weaver's children than on the
millionaire's. Blessed are those
that learn by the hard way of life
what every man must learn first
or last or go ashore wreck
namely, self-restraint. The steel
that had suffered most is the best
steel. 1t has been I'm the furnace
again and again /; 1t has been on
the anvil 1t has been tight in the
jaws of the wise it has felt the
rasp /; it has been ground by emery;
it has been heated, and hammered
and filed, until it does not know
itself, and it comes out splend id
knife. And if men only knew it,
what are called their 'misfortuneo'
are Gods best blessings, for they
are the moulding influences which
gave them shapeliness, and edge,
and durability, and power.

The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
i'm Maine.

The Supreme Court of Maine
has made a decision by which an
old statute authorizes overseers
of the poor of towns to send va
grants to the warehouses is de-
clared to conflict with the four
teenth amendment of the Consti-
tuition of the United States, which
provides that no state shall de-
prive any person of life, liberty,
or property without due process
of law, which implies judicial
investigation. Judge Walton,
who gave the opinion of the court
says: IF white men and women
may be thus summarily disposed
Of at the north, of course black
ones may be disposed OF in the
same way at the south; and thus
the very evil which was particu-
larly the object of the fourteenth
amendment to eradicate will still
exist"

Worlds Fairs In General.

Excluding the wretched failure and
partial swindle 10 New York in 1858,
which does not deserve to be classed in
the same category, there have been five
Worlds Fairs worthy Of the name, and
the Philadelphia Exposition is the
sixth, The first was in London in
1861, for which the Crystal Palace at
Sydenham was erected, which was per-
mitted to remain, and has ever since
been popular resort and the favorite
location for monster concerts and great
public celebrations Paris followed
with its Exposition in 1867. Then the
London people in 1861 erected grander
palaces in Hyde Park and South
Keusington gardens to eclipse their
French rivals. But Paris was not to
be outdone, aud the fourth attempt
was the Expositions Universalle of
1867. The fifth Worlds Fair was To-
Gated in Vienna in lS73--a city that
bad long aspired to rival Paris In the
gay attractions Of Continental capital,
and expected by means OF exhibition to
to fix upon itself the eyes of the civil
ICED world, and render itself famous for
its beauty and pleasures Ofall the ex-
hibitions, though none ofthem was pro-
fitable as a financial enterprise the ONLY
one that can be characterized as disap-
pointment aud failure wa the Vienna
Exhibition, which was loaded down with
bad management, corrupt practices, and
the inordinate greed of the people IN.
