First Babies.

A somewhat extended observation,
and a solitary experience. have CON
WINGED us hat first babies have a hard
time. Parents must have two or three
children before they know what a baby
is-how to treat it and acquire patience
sufficient to treat it properly. The
Door little fellows that have the mis-
fortune to come along first have to
educate their parents TO their task, and
in doing SO they get spanked, and shak-
en-. and abused. After a man has had
three or -four children, he learns that
striking or whipping a child under
two years old is barbariSm. We know
one .spaternal head" who struck his
first child when only six weeks old
he actually believing thai the child
knew better than to cry, and that he
stopped crying at that particular time
because he struck him. We carry GER
tain notions of children and family
government into married LIE, and the
first child is always the victim OF these
notions. And not alone of these, for
the parents nave not learned self con
troll, and a baby is whipped quite as
often because the parents have not
learned self control, and a bah y is
whipped quite as often because the pa
rent is impatient or angry as because
is impatient or angry as is vicious q
intrac able. We in1ict on our first
children the fioggings we ought to
have for our own impatience or fret
fulness. This pounding children before
they become, in Gods eye, morally
responsible beings, is very strange
business. Patience, good people, un-
wearying patience. Don't wait to
learn it when one of your little one
shall be hidden under the daisies.

DarWiniSm.

Dirty, noisy, screaming things.
Pockets full of nails and strings,
Clothes not tidy overmuch,
Hands we would not like to touch.
And yet this awkward fellow can
Become that charming creature,
Man.
Light kid gloves and white cravat,
Polished boots and stovepipe hat.
Now is not this what Darwin meant
When he taught development?
And have not he and others said
That higher springs from lower
grade?
Surely, the beau in boyhood is
Concealed as in a chrysalis:
But bOyhood with it's horrors past,
We have our butterfly at last.

POETRY.
Farewell.
THOMAS MOORE.

THOMAS MOORE.
Farewell: but whenever you welcome
the hour
That awakens the night song OF mlrth
in your bower,
Then think of the friend who once
welcomed it too.
And forgot his own griefs to be happy
with you.
His grief may return, not a hope may
remain
Of the few that have frightened his
pathway of pain,
He ne'er will forget the short vision
that threw
Its enchantment around him while
lingering with you.
And still in the evening when pleas
ure fills up
To the highest top sparkle each heart
and each cup:
Where'er my path lies, be it gloomy
or bright,
Ny soul, happy friends, will be with
you that night;
Shall join in your ~revels, your sports
and your wiles,
And return to me beaming all DER with
you smiles,
Too blest if it tells me that mid the gay
cheer,
Some kind voice had ~murmur'd, 81
wish he were here -
Let fate do her worst, there are rel
les of joy,
Bright dreams of the past which she
cannot destroy;
Which come in the night time of sor-
row and care,
And bring back the features that JOY
used to wear.
Long, long be my heart with such
memories filfd-
Like the vase in which roses have once
been distilId,
You may break, you may shatter the
vase, if you will.
But the scent of the roses will hang
round it still.

Outward or HOmeward

Still are the ships that in haven ride,
Waiting fair winds or turn of the
tide;
Nothing they fret, though they do
not get
Out on the glorious ocean wide.
o wild hearts, that yearn to be free,
Look, and learn from the ships of
the sea.
Bravely the ships, in the tempest
tossed,
Buffet the waves till the sea be
crossed;
Not in despair of the haven fair,
Though winds blow backward,
and leagues be lost.
o weary hearts, that yearn for
sleep,
Look, and learn from the ships on
the deep! Spectator.

So high, you'd think her voice had

While Ann Maria's alto choice
Rings out in such harmonious voice,
That sinners in the church rejoice,
And wish she'd sing till Monday.
Then Obadiah's tenor high
Is unsurpassed beneath the sky;
Just hear him sing 'Sweet-by-and-by
And you will sit in wonder;
While Zedekiah's bass profound
Goes down SO low it jars the ground,
And wakes the echoes miles around,
Like distant rolling thunder.
Talk not to us of PATHS fame,
Or Picolini's tenor tame,
Or Carv's cOntralto-but IN
Or Whitney's ponderOus basso!
They sing no more like Jane Sophia,
And Ann Maria, Obadiah,

Than cats sing like Tomasso.
