Let Children Be Children.

I always feel like thanking heaven
when children are real children; when
they have round, happy faces, and are
utterly without any sense of response
bility, and believe that this world IS q
good one, meant to play in, and that
mamma and papa have the power of
autocrats and the purse of FOrtunatus.
The pain, the care, the trouble, the
prudence will all come after awhile.
They will know what life really is soon
enough. Don't teach them too early to
save pennies, and count the cost of
clothes, and know that money is hard
to get, and that this is a world of trou-
ble. Don't load them with such cares
until you are forced to do so. Keep the
family anxieties from their ears, and
pack them off to bed before you talk
over ways and means.
Let them believe that all the people
they know are friendly, and true, and
honest, just as long as possible. Turn
the rose-colored light upon the scene,
and let all the figures their eyes rest
upon in their young days look their best
and their brightest; and often tell them
about heaven and the angels.
To the pure all things are pure. Don't
lend the little things your old spectaeles.
w nile tney DeileVe JulS WOFlu para
disc, it is one to them. In some sense,
ignorance is innocence, and the better
we believe other people to be, the better
we are apt to be ourselves.
To watch, and work, and be troubled
about many things, to doubt, and to
sustain, and to guard ourselves from
our enemies, does not make US any bet
ter, even if we see the necessity of it,
and surely it makes us less happy. Let
the little ones we love keep their trust,
and their hope, and their faith while
they may; and keep all worldly care
from them while it is possible and pru-
dent to do so. They will only come to
the battle of life at last with stronger
hearts and purer souls for having been
children as long as possible,-Mdry
Kyle Dallas.

wife, you are tired, and little recrea-
tion will do you good; lay aside your
work and let's go to the grange, or
lodge, or party, or lecture" as the case
may be, it would lift the burden from
her, it would make her happy, and it
would make him happier and better
man.
Men claim for themselves a perfect
right to drink and gamble and wallow
in all manner of licentiousness, and
then have the brazen effrontery to ask
us to raise our daughters up in such a
way that they may have good, virtuous
wives. 80, consistency, thou art in
deed jewell ~ How many fathers of
sons are there who are teaching their
sons by precept and example to be as
honest, as chaste in conversation, and
as upright and virtuous as they would
have their wives to raise their daugh-
ters? When men can he brought to see
these things in the true light, that they
are under obligations to God, to them
selves, and to humanity to be just as
moral and virtuous as they would have
women to be, and when they restore to
them the God-given right that they, by
usurpatiOn and fraud, have taken from
them, namely, the right to a voice in
making the laws that govern the nation,
then, and not till then, will we expect
to see change in the direction of reform.
Men perpetrate all these crimes
against women, and at the same time
expect and claim their respect and sub
mission. Well, they may force woman
in her present helplessness to submit,
but they cannot force her to respect
them, even though they be husbands or
fathers. am aware, of course, that all
men are not thus, and all honor to good
men, say I. But, thanks be to Him who
giveth the victory, though the struggle
be long one. The time is near at hand
when woman, with the aid of good men,
will come forth from bondage and stand
side by side with men, clothed with the
power and might with which the Gre
ator intended she should be, and for
which her intelligence fits her.
Dear editors, am aware of the i'm
perfect manner in which this is written,
and did l not feel and believe it tbs
duty of ever lover of truth and justice to
raise voice and pen, though it be in an
imperfect manner, against political
moral, or social wrongs, that stalk SC
boldly around US, should never have
dared to send this to you.

The Organic World.
OBSERVER.

The different members of the organic
world are so bound together by complex
relations that any one change usually
involves many other changes. We
know little, it is true, of the way in
which one animal or plant is bound up
with others; but we do know that
groups the most apparently discon-
nected are often entirely dependent
upon other groups. Thus the introduce
tiOn of goats into st. Helena destroyed
a whole flora of forest trees. This was
the sentence of death upon all the in
sects, mOllusca, and, perhaps, birds,
which found their living on the trees.
Swine which ran wild in Maritius eX-
terminated the dodO. The same ami
NAL is the mortal foe of venomous SER
pents.
In many districts the browsing of cat
tie will prevent the growth of trees.
With the trees an end is put to the in
sects which depend upon the trees, to
the birds which feed on the insects, and
to the small mammals. In Paraguay a
species of fly destroys newborn cattle
and horses. Hence neither of these an
imals run wild in that country, although
they abound in the adjacent regions.
This leads to great difference in the
vegetation of Paraguay, and through
that to a difference in its insects, birds,
and reptiles and wild mammalia. The
extinction of this fly would change the
whole face of the country So in South
Africa, in the districts infested by the
tsctze fly, no horses, dogs, or cattle can
live. Yet it has no effect on asses, ze-
bras, or antelOpes.
Mr. Darwin's often quoted case of the
cats and clover affords an apt illustra-
tion of the point in question. 1t is
known that in England both red clover
and wild heartsease are fertilized only
by the visits of humble bees. But bum
BILE bees are largely kept down by field
mice, which destroy their combs and
nests. Field-mice in their turn are kept
down by cats. If there were no eats
there would be no check on the field.
mice, that would multiply so abund-
antly as to destroy all the humble bees
There would then be nothing to fertil.
ize the red clover and heartsease, and
the two plants would produce no seeC
and become extinct.

Nouns OF MULTITUDE.-A little girl
was near the picture of a number of
ships, when she exclaimed, "See what a
flock of ships ~ We corrected her by
saying that a flock of ships was called a
fleet, and fleet of sheep was called a
flock. And here we may add, for the
benefit of the foreigner who is mastering
the intricacies of our language in respect
TO the nouns of multitude, that a flock
of wolves is called pack, and pack of
thieves is called a gang, and a gang of
angels is called host, and host of por-
poises is called shoal, and a shoal of
buffaloes is called troop, and troop of
partrdges is called cOvey, and a covey
of beauties is called a galaxy, aud a
galaxy of ruffians is called hOrie, and
horde of rubbish is called heap, and
heap of oxen is called a drove, and a
drove of blackguards is called a mob,
and mob of wOrshipers is called a con-
cation, and a congregation of engineers
is called corps, and corps of robbers
is called band, and band of lOcusts is
called a swarm, and a swarm of people
is called a crowd, and a crowd of gentle
folk is called the elite, and a miscella-
neous crowd of city folk is called the
community or the public.

JOURNALISTS of the great trials
of the newspaper profession is that its
members are compelled to see more of
the shams of the world than any other
profession. Through every newspaper
office, day after day, go all the weak
nesses of the world-all the vanities
that want to be puffed, all the revenges
that want to be reaped, all the mistakes
that want to be corrected, all the dull
speakers who want to be thought elo-
quent, all the -meanness that wants to
get its wares Ifoticed gratis in the edi-
tOrial column, in order to save the tax
of the advertising column; all the men
who want to be set right, who never
were right; all the crack-brained phil
Osophers, with stories as long as their
hair, and as gloomy as their finger
nails in mourning, because bereft of
soap; and the bores who come to stay
five minutes, but talk five hours.
Through the editorial and reportOrial
rooms all the follies and shams of the
world are seen day after day, and the
temptation is to believe neither in God,
man nor woman. 1t is no surprise to
me that in your profession there are
some skeptical men-I only wonder
that you believe anything else.-T De-
Witt TaLndge.

A little boy was advised by his father
to use illustrations in his converse
whenever they should occur to him,
'for," continued the parent, "there is no
more forcible way of conveying or i'm
pressing your meaning" Shortly after
the boy was being lectured on generos-
ity. "Ips better to give than to receive,
Johnny-far better The Bible says so,
and / say So" "Illustrate it, papa.
think 1 will understand you better"
Father could not see the application.

Forty years once seemed long weary
pilgrimage to tread. 1t now seems but
a step. And yet, along the way are
broken shrines where a thousand hopes
have wasted into ashes, footprints sacred
under their drifting dust; green mounds
where grass is fresh with watering tears,
shadows even which we could not for
get. We will garner the sunshine OF
those years, and with chastened step
push on toward the evening, whose sig
nal lights will be seen swinging where
the waters are still and storms never
beat

A new truth has to encounter three
normal stages of opposition. In the
first it is denounced as an i'm posture; in
the secOnd-that is, when it is begin
ming to force itself into notice-it is cur
sOrily examined and plausibly Explained
away; in the third, or "cui bono'' stage,
it is decried as useless, aud hostile to re.
ligiOn; and when it is fully admitted, il
passes only under a protest that it has
been perfectly known for ages, q pro-
ceeding intended to make the new truth
ashamed of itself, and wish it had never
been born.-Dr. Herbert Mayo.

SOCIETY.

The round of gaiety is still kept up,
and with added zest at present, for upon
the advent of the Lenten season, on next
Wednesday, much of it will of necessity
cease. Mrs. Grant will give her last re-
ception, as mistress of the White House,
this afternoon, and as the day is bright
and beautiful, an immense crowd of
people will undoubtedly be present
Society expresses about as much regret
as it ever does atanything, that the lady
who has for eight years presided so
gracefully and modeStly over the enter
tainmentsat the White House is about to
retire to private life. People are begin
ming to come here to witness the inaugu-
ration of somebody as President on the
fourth of March, and the indications at
present foreshadow a much larger as
semblage than has been in Washington
for many years, aud hotel proprietors,
as well as clearinghouse keepers, look
forward to a rich harvest. FELIX.

In legislation than has characterized the
session thus far, this step will be abso-
lutely necessary, for not one of the az
preparation bills has as yet passed, and
many other matters which require i'm
mediate attention are hung up to await
the decision of the Presidential question.
THE LOUISIANA RETURNING BOARD.
The members of the returning board
of Louisiana still insist that they are
not able to produce the records of their
board, for the non production of which
they are now confined in one of the
lower rooms of the Capitol. Mr.. Wilson,
of Iowa, said he would not keepa dumb
animal in such a room on his farm, and
other Republican members say that
condemned murderers were never con-
fined in so bad room anywhere in the
country. Speaker Randall, with the
kindness of heart which he so frequently
manifests, ordered their removal to an
other room, but Thompson, the Sar-
geant-at-arms, remanded them to their
old quarters; and Messrs. Cox, Wood,
and others, Insist that if they do not like
their present quarters, they can surren-
der the records and receive their release.
A very pretty little circus occurred over
this matter in the House yesterday, and
will probably be continued from day to
day.
A BREACH OF PROMISE CASE.
The scandal-loving portion of the
community were delighted with para
graph which appeared in the Star of
last evening, giving the particulars of a
breach of promise suit, which has been
brought by a buxom Pennsylvania
widow against the veteran Senator
Cameron, of that State. The damages
are laid at fifty thousand dollars. The
Senator is nearly eighty years of age,
the widow thirty-five or forty. Proba-
bly, this is another case of Bardwell vs.
Pickwick, and the names of the counsel
for plaintiff, Peter and Peter, may yet
become as famous as those of Dobson
and Fogg. Whether we shall hear any
thing of "chops and tomato sauce" or
not, remains to be seen. Of course the
friends of the Senator repeat to him the
advice of the elder Weller, "PrOve a
halabi, Samivel, prove halabi."
