pipes all uiglit.—Philadelphia Call.IIow Little Children Suffer.Nobody knows how much littlo children sometimes suffer at the hands of the unprincipled persons to whom they are too often ignorantly intrusted. Moro than ono fatal attack of brain disease has been directly triced to a dose of opium given by an unscrupulous nurse to quiet a crying child; many a child has caught its death from exposure to a hot sun or a cold wind in its perambulator while its careless nurse gossiped with lover or friend, or read dimo novels in the public parks, and last but not least, many a nervous child has been injured for lifo by the nursery bugaboos with which it has been terrified into submission and quiet; not always by the nurse.The mother who never bathes and dresses her baby, who does not nurse it and who sleeps uway from it in another room loses much of its sweetness, and both she and her child are to bo pitied. “There is a medium in all things,” and while no woman is called upon to mako a slavo of herself to her child —indeed the doing so is a positive injury to both—still die has no right to give tho sacred charge over to hirelings, and consider her maternal duty discharged when she pays their wages.—Mrs' M. P. Handy in Boston Globe.
