With birds and flowers of every hue: The hunter’s horn sounds near the fall, The dog?, they trail through trees so tall, The deer have now no hiding place— The e-un, ere long, will end their race.

HOW 'MUCH DO THEY GET ?—BY THE REV. A. A. E. TAYLOR, D. I). With till 'lie attention given to the public religious instruction of our youth, it is vet a fair question: How much religious instruction do they actually get ? Take the children of an average Christian household. The father leaves the home at morn with “ten minutes for pr,avers hefoi'e the tram,” or be fore the time for the store, the office or the plow. If he return at noon, what time can he get for or from the children ? In the evening he comes home weary; and so do they. He needs rest, which lie seeks in the book or newspaper; the* 7 need recreation, which they seek where he will not be disturbed. After supper he has his engagements; and, if not, they have their lessons, and soon it is time for si ep. Meanwhile, what time has mother had to give 'limu religious instruc tion? Site must lmrrv in the morn ing to prepare them for school, and Ito regulate the home. At the noon recess she must see to the culinary and other duties, and to getting the children off again. Until the night ..sets in what hour may she find ? And after night wlm'\ opportunities does she discover, between lessons and manifold e ening duties? -■ the week glides on until Satur day, preoccupied for both punnts ■tUb 1 children. We speak of things as not as tney should be. There , < V nrday for father; and it is ,st day. It is the chij spair *,/v too, and if Saturday tile lifty its lessons, it has other /<b'jf>ortai;t duties. Thus all p]iff,’ ;f<>us Zioine conference is thrust upon the shoulders of the first day of the week. W .ere do the young get solid re ligious culture out of that day? In (tie morning, mother and children are busy preparing for early Sabbath School, or for church probably after a later rising than on the week-day. It is the father’s day of rest, and if the family might be gathered, he is scaria ly prepared to give thorough in struction at this time. Then comes church, but where are the childr.-n? They have been to the “children’s church; or, if they be present, p<i baps but little instruction is given to the young. It is the same at the evening service, with the average dis course, if the yon i h are rot detained at home, or have not retired early. In the afternoon m< ther has the care of the family, in the customary absence of the “help;’’ and with the weariness of the crowded day upon her, (for the day’s of lunch and cold and nners have passed,) what strength has she to give them ? Father is ab sent at mission school or this is only time for his own sonl-culture, or he is helping mother. Perhaps the chil dren nre attending the second Sab bath school. Moreover, there should he some time for rest from labor for young and ol 1 if the spirit of the fourth commandment be observed. Thus the custom lots arisen of giv ing over the religions instruction of the young, in chief part, to the Sab bath schools. It is then important to inquire how much they get in these schools. The average time for the session is an hour and a half; and there may be two sessions. Half this time is given up to the library and the opening and closing services, in which there is some imperfect religious culture. Sup pose there are three quarters of an hour given to the Bible lessons. Many of.,the teachers are young and inex perienced, yet the printed lessou pa pers, and the teachers’ meetings, may have increased their efficiency. But still, fully one-half the teachers are poorly adapted to the work. If they do their best, their want of apprecia tion of the nature of youth, or of the nature of teaching, renders theirs far inferior to parental instruction. But even if well done, what are these for ty-five minutes, or in case of two ses sions, ninety minutes, among the many minutes of the week, with so many hours of secular instruction crowding into their busy minds ? How much do the children get? How will what they get compete with the intellectual food they gather in du ring the seven days? To urge the necessity of additional home-culture were to venture on a hacknied theme. To decry the Sabbath school were in vain and foolish. It is the best un der the circumstances that can be got; and is steadily improving. But after all, the sober question, “How much religions culture do they get ?” stares us in the face and demands earnest attention. A Word, Mothers. Each mother is a historian. She writes not the history of empires or of nati ms on paper, but she writes her own history on the unperishable mind of herchild. That, tablet and that history will remain indellible when time shall be no more. Tiiat history each mother will meet again, and read with eternal joy or unutter able woe in the far ages of the eterni ty. Tins thought would weigh on the mind of every mother, and render her deeply circumspect and prayerful, and faithful, in her solemn work of training up her children for heaven and immortality. The minds of chil dren are very susceptible and easily impressed. A word, a look, a frown may engrave an impression on the mind of a child which no lapse of time can efface or wash out. You walk along the seashore when the tide is out, and you form characters, or write words or names in the smooth white sand which lies spread out so clear and beautiful at vour feet, ac cording as your fancy may dictate, but the running tide shall in a few hours wash out and efface forever all that you have written. Not so the lines and characters of truth, or error which your con iuct imprints on the minds of your child. There you write impressions for the eternal good or ill of your child, which neither the floods nor storms of earth can wash out, nor death’s cold Anger can erase, nor the slow moving ages of eternity obliterate. How careful, then, should e'ch mother be of herself in her treat ment of her child. How prayerful, ami how serious, and how earnest to write truths of God on his mind those truths which shall be his guide and teacher when her voice shall be silent in death, and her lips no longer move in prayer in his behalf, in com mending her dear child to her cove nant God. Dari rig the prevalence of cliol ei a, the Roman authorities punched and fumigated all letters from sus pected places, but one of the clerical town councilors complained of their inconsistency, for while they were so (articular about letters, they allowed telegrams to come in without fumiga tion. Noticing an incredulous smile, as he supposed, on the faces of some of Ins audience, he drew several tele grams from his pocket, and threw them on the council-table, saying, “Gentlemen, you seem to doubt it, there, then, is the evidence.” JSfcg“‘Wh it do you do with so much?’ said a gentleman at the South End, the other evening, to a beggar-boy, who had a basketful of provisions, and was soliciting more. “Mother, got three new boarders last ni lit, and two other fellers left without paying her anything.” A Maine girl ha 9 killed herself —by guru ! [This is not an oath.] $2.50 A YEAR. The Number op Type in a Newspa per.---The Poughkeepsie Eagle, in an article on how “mistakes happen in newspapers,” figures up the number of types used in a newspaper the size of the Eagle at 600.000, i. e. the actual number of bits of metal arranged and re-arranged every' day in preparing a newspaper of that size for the press. We suppose few people think of the printing trade as one of the most ex act and particular of all the handi crafts, but it is. Iu mining type, va riations that might bo allowed in the finest machinery would render the type useless. It is very rarely that type furnished by two successive foundries can be used together with out a great deal of trouble, though they’ try to make it after the same standard. We read once in a while of a won erf ul piece of cabinet work or mosaic work, containing ten, twenty, or fifty thousand pieces, the maker of which has spent months, or even years of labor in producing it, and people go to see it as a great curiosi iy, but the most elaborate and care fully fitted piece of work of this kind ever made does not compare with that which the printer does every day, for minuteness of detail and ac curacy of fitting. The man who does the first is looked upon as an artist— a marvel of skill, and if a hundred of his pieces are put in wrong side up or turned the wrong way, it is not ob served in the general effect—but if the printer, ,iu fitting ten times as many pieces together iu one day, puts one where another should be, or turns one the wrong way, everybody sees it, and is amazed at “the stupid careless ness of those printers.” A New Orleans Romance.— Every day at one ot the recorder’s courts in New Orleans is to be found an elderly lady neatly, even elegantly dressed,ap parently watching with intense inter est each trial as it is called, and when the court has adjourned quietly mov ing away with the crowd. She has a piinfirl and singular history. Childless and alone in the world, she was once the centre of a happy family circle; but a scries of misfortunes came aud left her hopeless and aim less. The epidemic of 1855 deprived her of her husband and two children. Of her remaining sons one was killed in die army, and the other, about a year since, was arrrigned before this same court for murder. Before this awful shock the mother’s reason had reeled and left her a harmless maniac. Since then she each day imagines her sou on trial and watches there for his coming. Day atfsr day she prose cutes in the court room her tireless watch. Disappointment never effects her, for she thinks she will see him to-morrow. Those who have charge of her gratify the harmless delusion, and thus morning and evening she is found at her post, influenced by an affection that defies her flight and wreck of reason. To Mothers. One-third of the children born, die before they are two years old; three fourths of these perish unnecessarily —perish as the consequence of the ne glect or the ignorance of mothers. Most infants are physicked and fed to death. No medicine, whatever, not the modest catnip tea, should be given to infants without the direction of the family physician. As to food, the practice is, the moment an infant is to cry it is fed, the result is that in lesss than a week the little thing cries oftener from colic than from hunger, which may be often known by its vomiting soon after it is feci, or by its refusing to take food. The great, the essential point, is to feed all children at regular intervals. From neglect of this, infants arc made dispeptic be foie they are a month old, and be twjen alternating physicking and feeding, they go off in convulsions, water on the brain, or diarrhoea. Notice at what intervals food is nec essary, and feed only at such times, these being greater as the child grows older; next, keep the child abundantly warm; keep it constantly clean; let it be in the open air every day, and never allow it to be shower ed* or bathed in cold-water. — Hall’s Journal of Health.
