Bow legs aud knock-knees are among
the com mon delormities OF humanity;
and wise mothers assert that the crook

llicted one having been put upon bis or
her feet too early in babyhood. But d
Massachusetts physician, who has watch
ed TOR the true cause. thinks differently.
He attributes the aforementioned distor-
ton to habit some youngsters delight
in OF rubbing the sole OF one foot against
that OF the other; some will 60 to sleep
with the soles pressed together. They
appear to enjoy the contact only when
the feet are naked; they do not attempt
to make it when they are socked or
slippered. SO the remedy is obvious,
keep the baby's sole covered. Knock
knees the doctor ascribes TO q different
childish habit, that OF sleeping on one
side, with one knee turned into the hol-
low behind the other. He has found
where one leg has been bowed inward
more than another, the patient has always
slept on one side, and the upper mem-
Der has been that which has been mOst
deformed. Here the preventive is to pad
the inside OF the knees so as to keep them
apart. and let the limbs grow freely their
own way. All OF which is commended

Mother Goose and the ola South

Mother Goose and her melodies were
commemorated by Rev. j. M. Manning
the pastor of the new Old South Church
in Boston, at the Christmas festival oil
the Sunday school. He said;
There is one thing 10 the history OF
the Old South Church which has not had
the recognition it deserves. la the list

beg pardon OF her memory for saying
Elizabeth" since by the unanimous
verdict OF the world, in whose heart her
name is enshrined, she is known as
..Mother" Goose. So, then, Mother
Goose is no myth, as some have thought,
but once lived in Boston, in veritaole
flesh and blood, as the recordssof the
Old South clearly show. 1t is also a
pleasure to find, that in making Goose
of herself she married into well to-do
family. where in time she, too, by
putting her melodies to the press, not
merely laid one golden egg, but has been
laying steady succession OF them from

Long years ago-but this is bit OF

with her husband, of the sort which will
come about sometimes, even between
the most loving married people. Cha

The royal temper waxed hot at this.

He obeyed Immediately. Entering the
room she designated. they sat down IN
silence. For a long time nothing was
said. The queen was first to break the

"Does the queen command it" he
asked.
No." she answered, throwing her

Trials For Heresu.

We look back, in these days, upon the
blunders of our fathers with pity but as
we turn the pages of colonial history, we
find touch of manliness about the old
trials for heresy which our degenerate
heresy. hunters do not seem to possess.
When Mr.. Pynchon OF the Massachusetts
Colony wrote book in which he at
tempted TO prove that Christ suffered
not for US those unutterable torments OF
Gods wrath, commonly called hell torn
ents," the authorities deposed him from
the magistracy and publicly burned his
book in Boston Market; and then they
had the decency to appoint Mr.. Norton
of Ipswich, under very handsome pay
considering the times, ito write an an
swer to the book" Mr. Pynchon's heresy
has become modern orthodoxy, and now,
If auy minister dares TO assert that Christ
suffered genuine hell torments. down
goes his house! The whole matter is
pililul, because it is so childish. How
does this case look, Tor another instance 2
Robert Breck. less than hundred and
fifty years ago. said: "What will become
of the heathens who never heard OF the
gospel, do not pretend to say; but
cannot but indulge hope that God, III
his boundIess, benevolence, will Ind out
way whereby those heather who act mp
to the light they have may be saved. "
That utterance was considered such
breach of orthodoxy, that he was arrest
ed by an officer with drawn sword. to
be carried from Massachusetts to Connee-
,icut Tor trial. and refused bail on tho
ground that the offense with which be
was charged was "bigh treason not only
against the King of England, but the
King of Hesven!" And the poor ass
who made this utterance, and compeIs
US 10 laugh at him was tremendously in
earnest,-as much in earnest, say, IS the
bodies that have placed their little ban
on Dr.. Blauvet and Mr.. Miller And
the time is rapidly coming when the
action of those bodies will be regarded
precisely as we regard these mistakes OF
our forefathers.-Dr j. c. Holland; ; IN

the home IN which its loving rhymes are
not sung? 1t is one OF the few books
which cannot be destroyed. Not Homer
or Shakespeare is so sure OF immortal
fame as Mother Goose. Considering the
love in which her melodies are every
where held, their freedom from anything
which might corrupt or mislead the in
fantile mind, their practical wisdom,
their shrewd mastery OF the motives OF
human conduct, one is in all soberness
forced 10 admit that her name is among
the brightest of the jewels which adorn
the brow of Old South. What other son
or daughter Of ihe church. renowned ms
many OF them are in history, has proved
a grester blessing TO mankind, or secured
,hc benedictions of so many hearts T? She
lis TO the new world what Santa Claus is
to the old. And if the twain could, by
some poetical license. be made man
and wife. who does not confess that she.
though much the younger. would be by
far the better half? Let rs hope that the
day is not distant when a memorial stat
ute will be erected to this venerable
lady in one of the parks or squares Of
Boston. Let it be an appropriate symbol
of her and her blessed ministry. Let it
stand where the children OF the city may
gather in their daily sports. trundling
their hoops and carts about, and singing
their dolles to sleep in its motherly
shadows. Where could that memorial
better stand than on the triangular plot
OF ground at the corner OF Boyleston and
Dartmouth streets. so near to the present
Old South meeting house, and in full
view OF other buildings and Institutions
which are the pride of Boston? If not
there. yet in some place it should te rev.

DID You HEAR THAT PA New Or
leans paper tells of a printer, who. when
his fellow workman went ont to drink
beer. put in the bank the exact amount
he would have spent if he had gone out
with them to drink.
He did this for five years.
He then looked at his bank account
and found that he had laid up live hun
dred and twenty one dollars and eighty
six cents.
In five years he had not lost day be-
cause of sickness. Three out of five OF
his fellow workmen had in the mean
time become drunkards.
Tie water drinker then bought out
the printing Office; and in twenty years
from the time that be began TO put by
his money, he had laid aside a good many
thousands OF dollars. This story teaches
a lesson which every little boy should lay
to heart.
