How Towns Grow.

As a tOVD IS out an e4aGgeIn''oh
of Individuals, the rules OF lite
which bring an individual to pros
perity may be considered with
great advantage. Confined, hope
ful, persistent effort; a prudent fore
cast; q resolute smbarkipg of ell
the means-and Oh some occasions
of moro than sil-possessed, when
the venture, according to we'll es-
tahlished rules Of business, promises
GOOD rewards, a sufficiently clear
head to distinguish between what
is il!usory and what rcal-thcsc, 1t
will I've conceded. are essential con-
di,ions and qualities of success. One
] or two, or indeed almost any num-
Der of mistakes may be overcome
by the individual VIII" still possesses
and will exercise the qualities we
have alluded tie.
But the counterpart Of these quail
ties, want of faith and trust and
continuity CT purpose; a refusal to
risk anything, even when the result
is the most promising; ready yield
ing disappointment anI adversely,
can work out but one result; and il
an individual so constituted should
achieve success, it must be reckoned
a scratch rather than a legitimate
fruit of known means. The ~strug'
gle continues through the entire
business career of each individual.
Whenever the obvious means Of sue
cess are neglected, the individual
falls to the rear.
The case Of the individual is IL
epitome with that of the town in
e~xtenso, in our comparatively new
country. The'town or city which
would prosper must have that vitali
ty Of purpose; that perennial hope:
that faith in combined effort; tina,
readiness to risk something, tina,
much may be- gained, which signal
ize the successful individual. Eact
individual must render combined
effort possible by being willing It
yield something ofhis Judgment, and
to defer something to'that Of others
A town which is so unfortunate a!
to be made up of Individuals &
stubborn and 'epirionated as 4
make all concerted action out Of the
question, because each will act only
upon his own views, has little
chance Of success. Inpracticability
and ineficiency are qualities nearly
akin. As the question how to ge'
forward in life is ever new ant
recurring, and forces itself alwsy'
on our attention, q word calculates
to excite reflection as to the mean
applicable to communities as we'll q
individuals can never be sproperll
considered out of place.

The Growth of Children.

The rate of growth in children va
ries according to the sex. Thus, at
the age Of IL to IL years, boys are
larger and heavier than girls; but
from that age on the evolution Of the
girls is more rapid, and they soon
overtake the boys and pass them, till
the age OF 1 5 years is reached, when
the boys draw ahead again, while the
girls remain nearly stationary. A
curious relation has been discovered
between the growth of children in stat
ure and in weight. NJ. Mailing Han
sen, director of the deaf and dumb
mute institution at Copenhagen, has
for three years weighed and m easured
his pupils daily and he has discovered
that their growth does not take place
regularly and progressively, but
by stages separated by intervals
of rest. Weight also increases by
periods after intervals OF equilibrium.
While the weight is increasing the
stature remains nearly stationary and
vice versa. The maximum OF increase
of stature corresponds with a period
of minimum augmentation of weight.
The vital forces do not appear to
work on both sides at once. These va
riations are subject to the influence of
the seasons. During the autumn and
early winter, according to M. Mailing
Hansen, the child accumulates weight
while his stature increases slowly; but
during spring, stature receives a veri-
table push, while weight increases but
little. Some local habits have an in
fuence on the stature. stendhal re-
marked that many Roman girls had
deformed vertebral columns, or were a
little humpbacked, and found it was
the result OF a popular belief pre-
siling in Rome that parents could
promote the growth Of their children
by punching them in the back.
