OHILDREN'S PARADISE.

The authoress of Unbeaten Tracks i'll
Japan says that she has never seen people
take so much delight in their children
as do the japanese. They are to be
seen, she writes, " carrying them about,
or holding their hands in walking, watch
ing and entering into their games, sup
plying them constantly with new toys,
taking them to pic-nics and festivals,
never being content to be without them,
and treating other peoples children also
with suitable measure of affection and
attention. Both fathers and mothers
take u pride in their children. 1t is
most amusing about six every morning
to see twelve or fourteen men sitting on
low wall, each with a child under two
in his arms, fondling and playing with
it, and showing off its physique and in
telligence. To Judge from appearances,
the children form the chief topic of this
morning gathering At night, after the
houses are shut up, looking through the
long fringe of rope or rattan which con-
ceals the sliding door, you see the father,
in the bosom of his family, bending his
ugly kindly face over gentle-looking
baby, and the mother enfolding two
children destitute of clothing in her
arms" In spite of this homage, Japan
csc children are not "spoilt." They
are trained to perfect obedience and
ceremonious politeness, and are, in fact,
more like little men and women than
| children.

READING OF BOOKS.

What is the cause of the poor lemu-
neration for literary labor? The chief
reason, Of course, is that books are
little read. Whether it be fact or not,
it is enough that most people do not
think most books worth reading and 50
let them alone. The time devoted by
the large mass Of people to reading any
thing but the Bible and the newspaper
is very small. Compared with nearly all
other commodities, books are the last
to be procured, Beyond what they
need for food, clothing and shelter, the
vast multitude Of the people in this
world have no surplus. When they have
surplus it is first devoted to an i'm
provement and enlargement Of these ele-
ments of living-better food, finer
clothing, more commodious and elegant
houses, costlier furniture, and finally, the
luxuries Of the mind, Hence the
grocer, the tailor, the dry goods mer,
chant, the builder and other puryeyors
to the primal wants Of the human race
are more numerous and more prosper
GUS than the caterer to the mental
tastes
