PreCOcinns Children.

No physician doubts that preco-
eious children, fifty cases for one, are
much worse for the discipline they
have undergone. The mind seems
to have been strained, and the foun-
dation for insanity is laid. When
the studies of mature years are
stuffed into the head of a child, peo-
pie do not reflect on the anatomical
fact that the brain of an infant ia
not the brain of a man; that the one
is confirmed, and can beareSertions,
and the other is growing, and re-
quires repose; that to force the at
tention to abstract facts, to load the

impunity the exertions of q mans,

''The Barring OF the Door,"

Tt is not generally known that the
incident which forms the subject OF
the droll Scottish song; "The Bar
ring of the Door," which also occurs
in the Nights" of Straparola, is of
Eastern origin. In an Arabian tale
n blockhead having married his
pretty cousin, gave the customary
feast to their relations and friends.
When the festivities were over he con-
Quoted his guests to the door, and,
from absence of mind, neglected to
shut it before returning to his wife.
"Dear cousin, said his wife to him
when they were alone, ''go and shut
the street door," 'It would be
strange, indeed" he replied, "if | did
such thing. Am l just made a
bridegroom, clothed in silk, wearing
a shawl and a dagger set with dia-
monds, and am to go and shut the
door? Why, my dear, you are crazy.
Go and shut it yourself" "Oh, in

seeing the door open, entered and
laid hold of whatever came to their
hands. The silent couple heard foot
steps in the house, but opened not
their mouths. The thieves came in
to the room and saw them seated
notionless, and apparently indiffer-
ent to all that might take place.

fore, collecting together every valu-

ing all the rooms and finding no per-

inquired the meaning ofwhathe saw.
