Palj Sanio.In the deep woods of Mexico,

Where screams the 'painted paroquet,'And mocking birds flit to and fro,

With borrowed notes they half forget;Where brilliant flowers and poisonous vines

Are mingled in a firm embrace,And the same gaudy plant entwines

Some reptile of a poisonous race ;

Where spreads the Ito icy shadeBenumbing even in summer's heat

The thoughtless traveler who hath laidIlimsclfto noondav slumbers sweet:

Where skulks unseen the beast of preyThe native robber glares and hides,

And treacherous death keeps watch alwayOn him who flies, or he who bides.

In these deep tropic woods there growsA tree, whose tall and silvery bole

Above the dusky forest shows,As shiniug as a saintly soul

Among the souls of sinful men ;

Lifting its milk-whit- e flowers to heaven,And breathing incense out, as whenThe passing saints of earth are shriven.

The skulking robber drops Lis eyes,And signs himself with holy cross,

If, far between him and the skies,He sees its pearly blossoms toss.

The wanderer halts to gaze uponThe lonely vision, far or neir,

And smiles and sighs to think of oneHe wishes for the moment here.

FOE TIIK ENTSRFI1ISE : BY A LADY READER.

With regard to the control of children,there can be no rule by which all can begoverned alike. Health, temperament,disposition, each affect the behavior of thechild, and should be considered in itsmanagement. Children of excitable tem-

perament (and this is now by far the larg-

est class), require greater wisdom in theirtraining than others. Their over-activ- e

minds and delicate bodies, sare truly a

serious care to those who have the rearingof them. Example h the best of teachers,as the infant is purely imitative in its na-

ture : and here, let me impress it upon par-

ents, that faults of their own are reflectedin their offspring, and although it may benecessary to punish those faults, the neces-

sity might be avoided by a proper self-contr- ol

in the majority of cases. Qualitiesgo by inheritance it is true ; but manymore are gamedy household education.If you wish to have sons and daughtersexcellent in every characteristic, exhibitthat excellence in your own conduej; daily.

Children are very apt to look upon theirparents as perfection in all things, andwoe to that parent who discovers to thelittle confiding mind so palpable a deform-

ity, as to be perceived by it. There can

for every thing maintenance, instruction,sympathy and, all at once, either by be-

coming of a proper age, orbyr your death,he or she is cast upon his or her inexperi-ence to contend not for bread only, butfor position, consequence, character, everything desirable, unarmed with a knowl-edge of any occupation that could securethe one, ant"" too timid and desparing toknow how to make sure of the other.For the sins, suffering, and shame whichtoo frequently falls to the lot of theseweaponless ones set in the front rank ofthe battle of life, not themselves, but theirparents are too often responsible. Be-

cause, a son has come to maturity physi-

cally, is no reason he should be consider-ed a man, unless you have so formed hismind that he is ready to take upon him-self a man's duties. Through all kinds oferrors will he struggle, and if he fall not,it will be by virtue of an inherent manli-ness that may defy temptation and trial ofany kind ; and even by his success you donot stand acquitted of neglec0

Your daughters you are training up forwhat ? To get married ? But they maybe unfortunate in marriage, or death maydeprive them of protection and support.What then ? They are ignorant, helpless,and despairing. To keep a cheap boarding-h-

ouse, to wash gentlemen's shirts, tosew for a few cents a day, to drudge at

habits, and principles as shall secure thathappiness, not only by making them be-loved and respected by others, but peace-ful and contented within themselves.

To preserve their health is the first duty,and after that to teach them usefulness,virtue, self-respe- ct, and cheerfulness. Thelatter is of much greater value than mostparents perceive. A cheerful, self-relia- nt

disposition is a greater gift than a fortune,and it is never too early to begin to incul-cate it in the infant mind. Do not allow achild to dwell upon a hurt or grievance ofany kind, but by lively, hopeful, or play-ful remark teach it to regard the accidentas of no serious importance. A child willfrequently laugh instead of crying, if, in-

stead of making a great ado over somelittle bump it has received, you affect topity the floor, or the table, or whatever ithas come into collision with. Its mirthful-nes- s

is excited by the ludicrousness of theidea, which it quickly perceives, and thetrouble is forgotten. Never forget thereal good of the child in the pleasure youyourself experience in lavishing pity andtenderness upon it : but mix up with theseendearments wholesome lessons ofpatienceand content, or, if need be, of endurance.

Let no mother trust the education ofher children entirely to others, if possiblyshe can avoid it. If she feels disqualifiedfor teaching by any deficiencies of her own

be no greater humiliation on one side, orgrief and disappointment on the other. Ifyou have forbidden a child to do affi ac-

tion, no matter how insignificant, be care-

ful that it does not find yon doing the samething, and thereby have its sense of justiceoutraged, except, of course, in such casesas where the reason of the difference canbe explained.

The writer was once teaching a littlefellow to feed himself at table. Childlike,he put in his food as fast as he could, andin very large mouthfuls. I took greatpains to show him the proper size of amouthful, suclyis he should take, usingthe expression do not stuff your mouth."Happening to have him at table with my-

self one day, not long afterwards, I was;surprised to see him watching me with anexpression of outraged confidence on hisbabv face, and laving down mv knife andfork, I smiled and asked him what was thematter. " Ee stuff eemouf!" replied thelittle fellow in so grieved a voice that Icould not refrain from laughing ; for I in-

stantly comprehended that he had beencomparing the size of my mouthfuls withthose I had instructed him to take. Sosoon do children begin to criticise andcompare.

Be careful about showing irritation oftemper, for there is no habit so catching.If the-mothe- of a family is a scold, orfault-finde- r, ten chances to onv if everychild she has does not turn out a scold andfault-tind- er ; not only making themselvesmiserable, but sending out ever-wideni-

circles of misery into the families theyshall raise, and they after them. Womenhave a good excuse for irritability in theirsensitive organization, and strength sooften over-taxe- d ; but when the injurydone by indulgence is so great, it is worthwhile to try the length of yonr endurance.

Beware of making uncharitable remarksabout your friends or neighbors in thepresence of children. It is peculiarityof these little folks to like gossip abouttheir elders, and I have seen children sithours in the house to listen to the conver-sation of their parents and neighbors whenit was of a personal character, who wouldotherwise have been happily at play. Theeffect of such conversations on their inex-perienced minds is to give them very in-

correct and unhappy notions of personsand things, and an anecdote treasured upin this way has often been of great injury,not only to the child who judged wrongly,but through the child to others wkGiH itinfluenced, as well as the person judged.

Do not sutler a child to be made afraidof anything. Feal'is not only undignified,but a source of the greatest discomfort tothe possessor ; and do not teach childrento doubt your word hy promising themanything which you do not perform,whether it be a favor or a punishment.Tlieir minds are not so occupied with busi-ness that they forget it, whatever it maybe. They are, on the contrary, expectingyou to keep your word, unless you showthem by your conduct that you makepromises without intending to keep them ;

thereby learning them to place no confi-

dence in what you say, and teaching thema lesson of equal untruthfulness. Neither,w hen you command a child, use a greatmany words, but remember to speakpleasantly though firmly, as if you did notdoubt its instant obedience. Such a man-ner will yearly always insure obedience ;

but if, for some peculiar reason, it fails,insist upon being obeyed promptly, in thesame calm, kind, and firm manner. Al-md- lt

the whole secret of seettrisg the re-

spect and cheerful obedience of childrenlies in that one neglect of .parents, arisingfrom carelessness. They imagine it easierto have an occasional battle with a childto subdue its temper when it has got be-

yond the bounds of reasonable endurance,than every day, and all the time to requirejust the same respect of authority, whichin time becomes a habit, and the child isinsensible to any restraint, and of coursehappier than when half the time indulgedand half the time restricted in proportion.

Let no mother forget that she is respon-sible for the happiness of the children shebrings into the world. Let her endeavorto cultivate-- in them such temne-rr--. motives.

A Judge rx a " Fix." An awkward af-

fair, which once occurred to one of thejudges on the Western Circuit, has beenthe subject of such mirth. It appears thatthe pious judicial, having finished his la-

bors, and having cast of Lis forensic wigat his lodgings, had retired into the nextroom to wait for his brother judge, whomhe was about to accompany to some of thelocal aristocracy to dinner. The femaleservant of the house had entered the bed-chamber br a side door, and not knowingthe judge w-a-

s in thtTv-ex-t room, in a frolicarrayed herself in the judge's wig. Justthe moment when the fair Mopsy was ad-

miring herself in the looking-glas- s, thejudge unexpectedly entered the room ;

and poor Mospy catching a sight of thestern countenance looking over her shoul-

der in the glass, was so alarmed that shefainted and would have fallen to thetloor, if the learned judge, impelled byhumanity, had not caught her in hisarms. At this critical moment his brotherjudge arrived, and opening the dressing-roo- m

door, with a view to see if he wasready, discovered his learned brother withthe fainting maid in his arms. Nqit wish-

ing to interrupt what lie thought to be anamour, he quickly attempted to withdraw,when his brother judge vociferated, " Forheaven's sake, stop and hear this matterexplained.-- ' Never mind, my dearbrother; the matter explains itself" andhe left his brother to recover the faintingmaid as best he could.

the most menial and unprofitable employments, unable to educate or even comfort-ably clothe their children this is the fateawaiting them in case of any accident totheir prosperity. Let me consul and en-

treat you to do what you can to prevent it.Educate your daughters not only in booksand every accomplishment you can afford,but also in some one particular branch ofindustry which would afford a mainte-nance if necessary, and in that one branchsee that they excel. It is true that menhave hitherto jealously guarded the ave-

nues of trade from the encroachments ofyour sex ; but when you have becomereally fitted to compete with them in theknowledge of and capacity for any busi-

ness within your desires, it will be in vainfor them to resist you. The time is corn-

ing when women may be truly independ-ent, hi the way perfectly compatible withdelicacy and feminine dignity.

In these few hints which I have givenconcerning the treatment of children frominfancy to maturity, I have arrived at con-

densing instruction into a small space, be-

lieving that if you value my suggestionsthe subject will continue in your minds,and you will elaborate it in your ownthoughts. And let me here again remindyou of the importance of physiologicalknowledge, as well for yourselves as yourchildren. It is imperative upon you, thatbefore you assume the responsibilities ofmotherhood you should know witl whata terrible and wonderful, as well as beau-

tiful, being you are gifting your offspring.Gather about you the best authors onPhysiology and Medicine, and by an un-

derstanding of the first, endeavor to avoidthe necessity of the latter. And now goover these imperfect suggestions from firstto last, and begin to think upon the sub-

ject. Follow7 up thinking with reading,and reading again with thinking ; and asfast as your daughters are old enough,teach them what you have learned, andcouncil them to continue the study.Neither excuse your sons ; but bo especi-ally faithful with your daughters, for withthem rests the welfare of future genera-tions.

Sardines. The lovers of the "littlefishes biled in fey should know that thefish which furnishes them with such a deli-cious repast belongs to the herring family.The popular name Avas given to it by Cuv-ie- r,

who was the first to assign it to a dis-

tinct place in the finny tribe. He calledit Sardinia, from which it is known as thesardine. Sardines are caught principallyalong the coasts of Brittany and, to a lessextent, in Portugal. The fisheries employa large number of men and women. Thefishing vessels of eight cr ten tuns each,and carrying a crew of from six to ten goout two or three leagues from the land,and watch for shoals offish. When theysee them, they spread, their gill-ne- ts forthem, and scatter on the water the bait thathas been prepared, and which consists ofthe eggs and flesh offish; especially of codand mackerel, and sometimes of saltedfish. Large quantities of sardines arctaken in this way. Some are salted onboard and others are carried on shore, andeither gid fresh or prepared for shipment.For the latter purpose, they are salted andpacked away in tin cans, vnth melted but-ter and olive oil, which is poured upon;them in almost a boiling state. The cansare sealed up to prevent the air reachingthe fish, and are then ready for shipment.

This, perhaps, is equallythe duty of both parents : for children arealways far more deeply interested in thatwhich seems to interest their parents, thanin other sibjects. But if it is importantto show a sympathy in the jjursuit of theearlier elementary branches, in order tofix their attention sufficiently upon them,it is even more important when the pupilbecomes farther advanced to be able notonly to assist your children in their studies,but to be competent to judge of the pro-

priety of the course of instruction theyare following, as well as of the merits ofauthors, and the perfection of theories.Those children who are handed over toteachers, no matter how able, who haveno special sympathy with their pupils, al-

most invariably learn by rote, instead ofhaving that thorough understanding oftheir subjects which familiar instructionand conversation imparts to the confiding,youthful mind. It frequently happens inthis way that a very expensive and appa-rently thorough education is nearly lostupon a son or daughter, who, after goingthrough all the text books, and having allthe usual masters, turns out a dull andreally ignorant person ; the fault havingbeen that no one ever engaged his or herattention by sympathy- the most sureand universal mode of instructing suc-

Teach your children to inquire intocauses w hen they see effects, instead of al-

lowing them to take up with any absurdor superstitious explanations which may-hav-

descended through generations ofuneducated and credulous persons. Thereis no training of the human mind moreennobling than that which comes by a closeobservance of. and inquiry into the mys-

teries of Nature. If you are able to in-

struct your child in these mysteries toteach him the exquisite and harmoniousrelations of things to explore Avith himthe intricate but delightful paths of science,and to make of him a chemist, botanist,geologist, or naturalist, or to explore withhim the great and wonderful truths of as-

tronomy, you give him one of the mostsurest means of happiness as well as ofusefulness ; and you make of him the no-

blest of whatever he is capable of being.Admitting that you are not able to go farwith him in these pursuits ; only then goas far as you can. and give him a taste forthe stud- - or studies.

This course, too, "will develop not onlyhis highest morality, but will show to youand to him the peculiar bent of his mind,for he will be sure to have a preference forsome one thing over another, and therebyyou can decide upon his future profession.Supposing that he does not find his pecul-iar talent in the natural sciences, the ac-

quisition of this knowledge is a help tohim in the attainment of any other kind ofknowledge. Try him then on mathematicsand mechanics, or on logic. During allthis exploring, you will be deeply delight-ed, and your child led insensibly to an un-

derstanding of and confidence in his ownpowers in some particular sphere of ac-

After thus becoming acquainted withthe capacities of your children, by joiningin their studies, and having perfected theirknowledge by furnishing them the bestbooks on their favorite subject, decide forthem, or with them, upon a profession.Every child, male or female, should havea profession, trade, or handicraft ofsome sort The origin of loaferism isthe want of this, in nine cases out often. The want of this among women re-

sults still more deplorably. How, let meask any kind father and tender mother,can you reconcile yourself to the righteous-ness of bringing children into the worldto turn them off, as soon as they arrive atthe estate of men and women, to dependupon mere chance ? There is no doubt asto the tiukindness, not to say, wickednessof such a desertion of your duties. Hith-
