Don't Whip Him.

DR.. Johnson said: eff the child
says he looked out of this window
when he really looked out of that, whip
him.
DR.. Johnson was a great man, and L
am little woman, but venture to diff
fer with him. If the child has really
said that he looked out of one window
instead of the other, with desire to de-
ceive you, whipping will do him but lit
tie good. He may be so frightened by
a logging that he will never tell you a
falsehood again, unless he is entirely
sure that you cannot find him out, but
if you love the child, you want to cure
him of the predisposition to lying, and
this cannot be done by whipping The
cure must be moral and inward
one. 1t must be effected by the cult
walton of the heart and the mind and
the conscience, and not by beating the
body.
A child with a heart can be taught to
render to its parents the truth and ODE
dience of love; and child with mind
can be taught not to be dishonorable,
and also to reason on the effect of GER
tain acts. Consequently, if your child
has heart or mind, never pound him.
Only when you are quite sure that you
are the parent of little brute, should
you teach him his duty by blows; even
then the blows should be administered
by the hand of love, and not by that of
anger.
1t is doubtful if whipping can benefit
any one. 1t is degrading, and it is in
furious to the health, as all pain is.
Were some one to fog You, you would
find yourself in the doctors hands on
the morrow. Children are more deli
cate than we are, and they suffer more
from less cause. After you have
whipped your boy, go to his room at
night, and see him toss and turn upon
his pillow. Mark his red cheeks
and swollen eyes, Perhaps YOU whipped
him with the best intentions, and to
cure him of some great moral fault,
but it may be that you made mistake.
A parent should be able to teach an
intelligent child to know right from
wrong, and to do the right-to keep the
laws of man and God, and to honor his
father and his mother, by practice and
precept, wisely and kindly. and in a way
to win his love and respect. Beating
him in petulance or anger will have no
effect upon his moral nature, except to
dwarf it.

Natural HistOry-The Baby.

What animal is this?"
This is baby. He is now about 3
years old, and at the wickedest point of
his earthly career"
What countries does the baby most
inhabit?"
He can be found in every inhabited
country on the globe, the same as mos
quitoes and boils."
Can they be tamed?"
Yes, quite easy. After a little ju-
dicious discipline they cease to strug-
gle and become subservient to the will
of man."
Does the baby eat grass?"
" Yes, or anything else. They swallow
pocket-knives, thimbles, buttons, spools,
or any other object little smaller
than a tea-cup. If offered milk they
seldom refuse it."
DO they Craze during the day, or
only at night?"
They are always grazing, paying not
the least heed to the hour. When not
actually eating they generally give ut
terance to peculiar cry. Strong men
often Jump out of bed at midnight in
the coolest weather when hearing that
cry"
What meaning is attached to this
cry?"
Men of deepest thought have agreed
that it signifies to wake up the neigh
borhood and have some fun"
"Of what benefit to mankind is a
domesticated baby?"
They are of no earthly account for
the first few years, but by and by they
can slide down hill on cellar door and
carry articles out of the house and trade
them for wooden sword, or lose them
in the grass"
"Do you know of any instance where
the baby has attacked the household
and killed or injured any one?"
Such instances have been related by
such eminent naturalists as George
Francis Train and Texas Jack, but we
don't put much faith in them. How
ever, if the baby was maliciously and
persistently provoked, there's no know
ing what it might do"
" Are they healthy animal?"
No. On the contrary, no druggist
could make enough profit in a year to
buy him pair of Arctic overshoes but
for the presence of a baby in every
household. There is hardly an hour in
the day that the baby does not demand
peppermint, paregoric, ipicac or some
thing else costing money"
What machinery is made use of
to compel the baby to take a dose of
castor oil ?"
There are several patent machines
for the purpose, but most people follow
the old rule of knocking him senseless,
and getting the dose into his mouth
before he RECEIVERS"
Is the bald-headed baby more do
nestle than others ?"
"Not bit. He kicks around after
the same fashion, and has even worse
time fighting flies and mosquitoes"
What music do they seem to pre-
fer ?"
" A base drum is their first choice,
but they have heavy leaning toward
the sound of the handle knock
ing the nose off the pitcher with the
emptings in it
This is all about the baby. Take
another look at him, for next week we
shall write of some other reptile.-De-

In the heart of the busy city,
In the scorching noon-tide heat,

Falls on the din of the street.

Years have gone by since busy hands

THE SONG OF THE CAMP.
By RAYARD TAYLOR.


Owe us q song! the soldier cried,
The outer trenches guarding,
when the heated guns of the camps allied
Grew weary OF bombarding.
The dark Redsn. in silent SCOT,
Lay grim aud threatening, under:
And the tawny mound of the Malakon
No longer belched its thunder.
There was pause. A guardsman said:
We storm the forts tomorrow;
sing while we may. another day
Will bring enough of sorrow"
They lay along the battery's side.
Below the smoking cannon.
Brave hearts, from Severn and from Clyde,
And from the banks of shannon,
They sang of love and not of fame:
Forgot was Britsin's glory:
Each heart recalled a different name,
But ali sang Annie Laurie"
Voice after voice caught up the song
Until its tender passion
Rose like an anthem, rich and strong,
Their battle eve confession.
Dear girl. her name he dared not speak,
But, a. the song grew louder.
something upon the soldiers cheek
Washed of the stains of powder.
Beyond the darkeping ocean burned
The bloody sunsets embers,
While the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
And once again a fire OF hell
Rained on the Russian quarters.
With scream of shot and burst of shell,
And believing of the mortars.
And Irish Nora's eyes are dim
For singer, dumb and CORY:
Asd English Mary mourns for him
Who sang of annie Laurie"
:SleeR soldiers still in honored rest
Your truth and valor wearing:
The bravest are the tenderest-
The loving are the daring.

England's Financial Distress.

Every person one meets in the CITY
has but the one doleful tale. which is
wearisome through its sameness We
have had bad times, dull trade. declin-
ing enterprise and low Tor no. profits
now for years; but matters have been
going from bad to worse lately with ac-
celebrated velocity. There is audible
now, too, new tone in the monotonous
refrain-a tone of impotence and irri-
tatlon, as If hanging some one for these
gloomy days would give sweet satisfac-
ton. Apaper has just been read on the
subject before the Manchester Stats
teal Society, the writer of which-Mr
Stephen Bourne-estimates after max
ing all necessary notifications of the
published figures so as to assure the cor
rect result, that the adverse trade bal
ance of England was E100,000OOO In
1877, and will be as much in 1878. In
1871 it was only e15,000000; in 1877 1t
was nil; in 1873, e19,0O0,000, and from
thence it has advanced year by year
until 1T reached the large maximum of
G1OO,OOO,O00 last year. Now the years
in which it was lowest were those of the
leaps and bounds" period, when our
prosperity was at its flood tide; so that
it is plain we have been spending, dur
ing the last few years of dull trade and
stagnant enterprise, enormously more
than we did during the height of our
great time of imitation. 1t was inevita-
BILE that this should tell, and it has told
and is still telling with vengeance
against us-Lonion World.
