The new ordinances regarding the sale Of

Health of Children.

REV. HENRY WARD BEECHER deliv-
cred a sermon recently on the training
of children, from which we extract the
following:
Under this general head of health,
parents need instruction against the ear
" forcing of their children. 1t may be
bad to force a child prematurely into
industries; but children seldom suffer
from this cause except in extreme cases.
The law of nature is stronger than the
law of man in that regard, for the most
part. Still, the early forcing of chill
dren into industry has been such as to
require restraint; and the wisest legis-
lative enactments are those which con-
troll factories. But there is one part of
the forcing of children which legisla-
ton can not very well interfere with, and
that is where parents have premature
angels born into their families; where
parents think, as many do, that they
have geniuses born unto them, and
where the temptation is SO strong to
make prodigies of them. Blessed are
they who have children so fast that they
have no time to pamper any OF them.
Blessed are they who do not set their
affections upon one child, to make him
a marvel of early knowledge, of early
musical attachments, and of all things
under heaven, of early piety. When God
made children he made them to be chill
dren until they had outgrown child
hood; and the attempt to force them in
any direction beyond what is proper to
that particular time is a violation not
only of the law of nature but of the law OF
common sense and the law of love itself.
h<,v.
with large heads it should be the duty
of parents ito keep those children's
heads down. If your children are born
with prematurely inquiring minds,
bring up their bodies as fast and as far
as you possibly can. Where the head
largely predominates in children the
brain will slay them. The very first
diseases in the cases of children whose
heads predominant will be diseases of
nervous sensibility or morbidlty.
So we see that death takes the best,
the most charming, the most beautiful
children. Hence early genius is thing
not to be rejoiced over but to be afraid
of. See that your children are kept
down to animal conditions so that the
brain shall not destroy them. Do not
force them. If there is one thing that
public sentiment might very well be
restrained about, it is this. Bringing
out five-year-old actors, bringing out
six-year-old Mozarts and Handles, bring
ing out boy preachers, and all such
monstrosities, is thing that appeals to
the morbid admiration of communities /;
and people flock to see them; and it is
remunerative to the vanity. or to the
pocket, or both, of the parents. So.
very soon, the child is pumped dry, and
he grows up fool, or else he dies
which is the better alternative of the
two.

And held her chalice out to sun and dew.

They Missed the Boy After All.

Jack was not bad boy, but he was q
terribly mischievous one, and his parents
really felt relief at the thought that he
was to start for boarding school the next
day. Hin, father thought of it when he
found that Jack had used his razor to
white a k itc-stick. He thought so again
when he q iscovercd that Jacks ball had
gone through the parlor window Jack $
mother Thought so when she found muddy
footprints all over the parlor carpet and
a great scar ON the piano leg. They
both thought so when their cha. al The

driven almost wild his father. who was try
ing to read the evening ncwspapcr, by
getting up fight between the dog AMI

net she had just been fixing and utterly
ruined it. Early tho next morning Jack
WIS packed of. Oh! what relief from
noise and trouble it was. His father
razors remained undisturbcd, no sound
of breaking glass was heard, the parlor
carpet was unstained by mud But some
how the house didn't seem very cheerful
to its occupants. 1t was a long day
Tea was served. There was no whist
ling and upsetting Of dishes to interrupt
the conversation, but the talk didn't seem
to run so smoothly after all. And when
it came to reading the evening paper and
fixing up another bonnet, the dog and cat
slept serenely on the hearth-rug, and no
disturbance interrupted the proceedings.
That's the differauce between having Il
boy in the house and having him away.
and the gentleman put down his paper
and remarked as much to his wife,
when he noticed q quivering about her
mouth and two big drops on her checks.
and there was kind Of mistiness about
his eyes that bothered him about seeing.

Protecting the Rear.

In one If the public schools of San
Francisco, youth bubbling over with
high spirits violated a lOng-established
rule, and was summoned to the bar Of
Judgment. With many sobs and tears
he confessed the soft impeachment.
"Have Your mother call tomorrow" the
teacher remarked, with awful and omin-
GUS Significance. His maternal ancestor
appeared on the following day, and, after
being duly and publicly informed Of the
fragrant breach Of discipline her son had
been guilty Of, WIS requested to say if
she would punish him herself, or have
the teacher atte nd to the matter. She
preferred the latter course, and urged
that the blows he well laid on. The
next day was appointed for the fiagella-
ton. At the usual hour for such I'M
pleasant affairs the youth WAS sum-
moned to the front. He came with
hang-dog look and some trepidation.
An Grafton on youthful frivolities having
been duly delivered, the boy was or
lered to extend his hand beneath an up
raised ruler. He refused, and, in ac-
cor,lance with the usual custom in such
cases, WAS spread across the teachers
knees, and the punishment was admin
istcrcd in another quarter than the one
originally intendsl For some unex-
plainahle reason the most energetic
blows fell without the desired effect. A
consultation of male teachers ensued,
and the offender was conducted to a
private room, and his wardrobe subjected
to rigid examination. On the interior
of his bifurcated garment, at locality
of great strategical importance in such
an emergency, was thick flannel baby's
frock securely attached. "WhO sewed
that on ?" demanded the principal, in a
voice of thunder. "My mother" an
swered the boy, with broken sobs. The
teachers hurriedly consulted again. in
structed the boy never to reveal the cir
cumstance, and sent him in to his
studies. Somehow the matter leaked

A Man Who Knew Everything.

man of what I may call consultable

surpassed by Mr.. Robert Carter, who
was for several years the Boston CORE
spondent of the Tribune, and who died
not long ago. Among his personal
friends he was known as "the Don," be-
cause he had particular knowledge of
Spanish matters, and had been the
amaluensis Of Mr.. Prescott, when that
admirable historian was engaged upon
his earlier works. Mr.. Carter is emf

writer speaks of going "tO the Don for

cupied that position for some years in
the famous house of Little. Brown & Co.,
in Boston, and afterward he was en-
ployed in that capacity by other like cs
Establishments. But before that he had
much experience in journalism had
started magazines and seen them fail

through almost every Imaginable vicis-
situde. 1t was painful pleasure to
hear him tell of the sorrows Of his boy

An AFGHAN Woman's Shoes,

The slippers and shoes are of Cabulese
make, and are very pretty. On Pale
green background beautiful patterns are
worked with gold and silver thread and
parti.colored silk, until the effect is more
like that of fairy slipper than one for
daily use. But q stout leather sole is
put on, with high heels rudely bound
with iron, and then the work of art is
complete. The stalls in which their
slippers and shoes are made are the gay
est in the whole bazar. A Cabulese
lady's foot is small, almost to defOrmity,
and the baggy trousers by contrast make
them appear exceedingly petite. From
the few faces seen, and those chiefly OF
old or Dasse women, 1t is difficult to

said to boast Of. The children are cer-
tainly, a. q whole, the prettiest L have
