HOW BRIGGS’ BABY WAS TREAI Thos. Briggs, of Detroit, has a boy baby about ten months old, who is admitted, at the beginning of this article, to look just like his father and to lx? the smartest boy baby of his age in' Detroit. Yesterday morning thj child was sitting on the floor playing with five or six big coat buttons on a string, and taking an occasional nibble at an apple to bring < ut bis first crop of teeth. Mrs. Briggs and a neighbor were talking away as only women can gossip, when the baby hid the buttons under a mat and started to finish Ids apple. A bit of the skin got in Ids throat, and he gave a caugh and a whoop and pnwed the air and rolled over on his head. “Oh, them buttons! he bag swallowed the buttons! ” cried the mother as she yanked him up and shook him. “Pound him on the back ?’’ yelled the /other woman, trying to liold the baby’s legs still. “ Run for the neighbors! ” cried Mrs. Briggs. “Oh he’ll diet he’ll die’’’ •creamed the other as she ran out. And the neighbors came in and made him He on his stomach and cough, and then turned him on Ms back and rubliod his stomach, and jagged him about ail sorts of ways until he got mad and went to howling. Then a boy ran for Briggs, and Briggs ran for a doctor, and the doctor came and choked the baby, and ordered sweet oil ami a mustard plaster, and told them to hold him on his back. Every body knew that those six big buttons were lodged in the baby’s throat, because he was red in the face, and because he strangled as ho howl* «d and wept. They poured down sweet oil, and put mustard across him, and wept ever him, and the mother said she could never forgive herself. Boys drove by ball ing out: “Slab wo»xl for sale 1” and the s isaors man went by shouting “Sharp! sharp I” but that distressed crowd held the baby down and shed their tears over his whole length. The doctor was looking serious and Briggs was thinking that he hadn’t done anything to deserve such a blow, when one of the women pushed the mat and discovered the buttons. Then ev ery body laughed and danced, and kicked the sweet oil bottle under the bad, threw the mustard plaster at the doctor, and Mrs. Briggs hugged the howling angel to her bosom and called him her “wopsy top sy hops) dr par popsy little chttrh.” Goon Max is B.u» Timks—lt is necessary that good men should live in bad times, not only to reprieve a wicked world, that God may not utterly destroy it, ns he did m the days of Noah, when all flesh had corrupted its way; Nit also to season hu man ouoverMtkm, to give check to wlck ednesa, and to revive the practice of virtue by some great and bright examples and to redress those violences and in jut les which are done under the sun ; at least to c*m tend and struggle with a corrupt ag», which will put a slop to the growing evils and scatter su- h seeds of virtue a» will spring up in time. It is an argument of God’s care of the world that antidotes grow in the neightxwlH-od of poisons; that the most degenerate ages haw some vxcvlh nt men, wlh> seem to be made on purjK*e for such a time, to stem the torrent, and to give Mjcne case to the mis/riv* of mankind. —Sheri‘*k.

There is nothing of more importance to ! the youth of our country, than a sound i practical education. Indeed it is a mat ter of first consideration, and in ot.ler that the foundation for an education may be laid in the shortest time and at the leastexpense it is necessary to have teach ers—those who, from experience, have shown an aptness for imparting instruc tion.
