ELLA WHEELER.
I'll could clasp my little babe
Upon my breast tonight,
would not mind this blowing wind
That shrieketh in alright,
o my lost babel my little babe!
My babe with dreamful eyesl
Thy bed is cold. and night-winds bold
Shrek frightful lullao1es.
MY breast is softer than the sod;
This room, with lighted hearth,
Is better place for thy sweet face
Than frozen Mother Earth.
Omy own babe! o my lost nabe!
o babe with waxen handsi
want thee SOL miss the So
Come from the silent lands
No love but mother-Iove that fills
Each corner OF the heart;
No loss but mother-l loss that thrills
And tears the soul apart.
o babe! my babe! my helpless babe!
l miss thy little FORM
Would might creep where thou dost sleep,
And Gasp thee through the storm.
At the ST. Marks Place cooking school
yesterday the chief announced that the dis
agreeable smell made by cabbage when cook
ing may be annihilated by putting a tiny
piece of washing soda, not larger than the
ton of lead pencil, in the pot This is
great discovery, and should be heralded from
Maine to California.
The grand blunder which almost all
parents and nurse maids commit is that when
the child takes within against doing what
he is wanted to do-will not eat his bread
and butter, will net go out will not come to
his lessons etc,-they, so to speak, lay hold
of his hind leg and drag him to his duties;
whereas a person of tact will almost always
distract the child's attention from its own
obstinacy. and in few minutes lead ii gent
ly round TO submission. Many persons
would think il wrong not 10 break down the
child's self will by main force, to come to
battle with him and show him that he is the
weaker vessel, but my conviction is that
struggles only tend to make his self will
more robust. If you can skillfully contrive
TO delay the dispute for few minutes and
hitch his thoughts off the excitement of the
contest, ten to one he will give in quite
cheerfuly, and this is far better for him than
tears and punishment.
That education is imperfect which does
not foster in the heart of the child tender
and abiding affection for its mother.
Around the idea of ones mother the mind
of man clings with fond affection. 1t is the
first dear thought stamped upon our infant
hearts, when yet soft and capable of receiv-
Ing the most profound impressions and all
the after feelings are more or less light in
comparison. Our passions and our wilfulness
may lead US far from the object of our filial
love; we may become wild, headstrong and
angry at her counsels or opposition, but
when death has stilled her monitory voice
and nothing put calm memory remains to
recapitulate her virtues and good Deeds
affection. like a flower beaten TO the ground
by q rude storm, raises up her head and
smiles amid her tears. Round that idea, as
we have said, the mind clings with fond
affection, and even when the earlier period
of our loss forces memory to be silent, fancy
takes the place of remembrance and twines
the image of our departed parent with a
garland of graces, and beauties, and virtues.
which we doubt not that she possessed.
Girls. listen to this, and with virtuous re-
solve demand, as your right, pure love:
Young men of bad habits and fast tenden-
cies never like to marry girl of their own
sort, but demand wife above suspicion. So
pure, sweet women keep from the touch of
evil through girlhood, give themselves, with
all their costly dover OF womanhood, into
the keeping of men who, in base ASSOCIATION
have learned to underyalue all that belongs
to them, and then ind no repentance in the
sad after years.
There is but one way out of this, and that
Is for you to require in associations and mar
riages, purity for purity, sobriety for sobrie-
ty, honor for honor.
There is no reason why the young men of
this land could not be Just as virtuous as its
young women, and, il the loss of your socie-
ty be the price they are forced to pay for
vice, tDey Will not pay IL.
This is plain, sensible talk, and Just such
ss ought to be needed by all our boys and
girls, till the much needed reformation is
fully established. Too much of the happi-
mess or misery of our children depends on
this for it to pass without producing deep re-
deotion and action in the matter in the right
direction
The author of ''The Old Morse Mirror OF
Men and Manners" says:
A polite man skills well in addressing
women, whether young or more advanced
years, to use such words as are suitable to
sir condition and are BETTING alike for
IN to hear and him TO speak. Lord Ches-
cid, with cynical hum0r. recommends
,n outwardly to pay them great court
eference, on account of the power they
btedly WELD in society; but inwardly
them in supreme contempt. The
ans generally treated their females
-tesy and respect; but then they re-
v edience, and obedience they would
