G -WllI1'l‘llH.
BY J.
The harp at Nature’s advent strung,
.Has never ceased to play;
The song the stars of morning sung
Has never died away.
And prayer is made, and praise is given,-
By all things n‘ear and far;
The ocean looketh up to heaven
. And mirrors every star.
Its waves are kneeling on the strand,
'As kneels the human knee,
Their white locks bowing to the sand—
The priesthood of the seal
0
They pour their glittering treasures forth,
Their gifts of pearls they bring,
Andlall the listening hills of earth
Take up the songs they. sing. ,
The green earth sends her incense up
From many a mountain shrine; ‘
From folded leaf and dewy cup
She pours her sacred wine.
The mists above the morning rilis
Rise white as wings of prayer!
The altar curtains of the hills
'Are sunset's purple air.
The winds with hymns of praise are loud,
Orlow with sounds of pain;
The thunder organ of the c oud,
The dropping teas of rain.
With drobping head and branches crossed
The twilight forest grieves,
Or speaks with tongues of Pentecost
From all its sunlit leaves.
The blue sky is the temple arch,
Its transept earth and air. ‘
The music of the starry march
The chorus of-a prayer. ’
S_o Nature keeps the reverent frame .
. With 'whlch her years began,
And all her signs and voices shame
The prayerless heart of' man. .

at first, but we can afford to. To women
whose husbands- are rich twenty dollars
moreror less in the cost of a dress doesn’t
make so much difference, but to those in
about. my station in life, who have “neither
poverty nor riches,” it is quite a serious
matter.
I do not intend to judge all dressmakcrs
by this one, nor do I think that dressmukers
are alone to blame in this matter of miscel-
culaling the expense of a. garment. They

deed, thely have learned that they expect to

Labor Conducive to Long Life.
In view of the short duration of life on-
failed .by some occupations, it must be re-
garded as a consoling; yea, a sublime fact,
that labor in general does not tend to shorten
life; but, on the contrary, by strengthening
health, lengthens life; while on the other
hand, idleness and luxury are productive of
the same results as the most unhealthy cc-
curation. Dr. Guy, an Englishman, in cal-
culating the average duration of life in the
wealthy classes, arrived at the very surpris-
ing result with regard to adults, that the
higher the position in the supinl scale, the
more unlimited their means, the less the
probability of a long life.
We have. so long been accustomed to con-
sider' the possession of riches as the best
guarantee for physical welfare, that many
will be surprised to hear from Guy that “the,
probability of the duration of life lessons,
with regard to adults in each class of.p0p-
uiation, in the same degree as the beneficial
impulse for occupation is lacking. If a per-
son who, for a long time has lived in active
life retires from business, it may be taken
for granted, with a probability of ten to one,
that he had seized the most effective means
to shorten his life.” Welmay smile at the
soup-maker, who, after having formally re-
tired from business, went nevertheless, on
each day of soap-boiling in his workshop;
but it must also be acknowledged that his
instinct did not mislead him. Of all condi-
tions of life, idleness is the hardest for na-
ture to combat; and this is especially true
of persons who have abcusiomed themselves
to arbusy life.

are presumed 'to be cOrrect:
Twenty-five years ago, in May 1846, there
were 732 vessels engaged in the whale fishery
from the United States.
fifty-three were owned in New Bedford, and
77 in New. London. The whole fleet is re.
duced to 278, of which 75 are in port.
Bedford now has only 171, and New London
only 22. Twenty-five years ago there were
26 ships engaged in the whole fishery from
Stoninglon, 17 from Mystic, and 63 from Sag
Harbor; now there are none owned in [bi

Whalers, which were all, with one or two
exceptions, three-masters, and fi tied for long
voyages round Cape Horn. We now boast
of 8220 small vessels, two of which are tied
up at the wharf, and we occasionally refer
to the Shipping List, to satisfy ourselves
whether the others still hail fi’om here.

' “So I had plenty of work to do and an
abundant lack of indulgence to enjoy. It
was consequently a great care for me to get
the enormous sum of one or two pennies in-
to my possession by any sort of good for-
tune, a Circumstace of such rare occurrence,
that at the age of eleven I had learned to re-
gard money as a blesssing bestowed by
rovidence only on a favorite few.
“I had lived with Deacon Webb three
years, before I knew the color of anv coin
except copper. By an accident I lesrn'cd the
color of gold. That is the story I am going
to tell you. -
“One Thursday night, Mr. Webb sent. me
to the village store on an errand; and while
returning home, just about dusk, my atten.
tion was attracted by a little brown pack-
age, lying on the roadside. '
.“I picked it up to examine its contents,
Without the slightest suspicion Of the treas-
ure within. Inde.it was so light, and the"
roll of brown paper appeared so large, that
I suspected it had been folded up in this w ay
to make an April fool of somebody, though
it was the month Of J uue. I tore Open the
foldsof the paper, however and discerning
nothing, I was on the point of throwing it
into the ditch : when something dropped
out of it, and fell with a ringing sound upon
it stone.
“I looked at it in astonishment. It was
yellow, round, glittering, too bright and-too
small for a penny ; I felt of it ; I squeezed it
into my fingers; I spelled out the inscrip-
tions; then something whispered to me that
it was a gold coin of great value; and that
if I did not wish tolose it, I had better pock-
et it as soon as possible.
“Trembling with excitement, I put the
coin in my pocket. But it would not etc
there. Every two minutes I had _to take it
out and look at it. But whenever I met any-
body, I carefully pui it out of sight. Some-
how I felt a guilty dread of finding an owner
for the coin. Provided I found none I tried
to think that it was honestly mine by right
of discovery; and I comforted myself with
the sophistry that it. was'not my business to
go about the street crying, “W ’ lost?”
“I went home with the gold in my pock-
et. I would not have the Deacon’s folks
sorely lroublcd'with the fear of losing my
vast treasure. This was not all. It seemed
to me that my face betrayed my secret. I
could'no'. look at anybody with'an honest

night, and projects for securing my trezisd‘re

followiu morning I Was fevtrish and ner-

“Where is that piece of gold you have
found and wickedly concealed, to keep it
from the rightful owner? '
.“I want you to go to Mr. Baldwin’s this
morning, and ask him if he can come and
work for me to-day and to-morrow.”.

“It was dark when I went home, and I

“I suppose you have heard of my misfor-

“Your misfortune?” ;
“Yes.” '
“Why, what has happened to you ?” asked
the deacon. “I thought everybody had

he gave me a ten dollar gold piece.”
“I started, and felt'the blood forsake my

Now. let an old physician, who loves chil-
dren and has watched over hundreds of
them, plead for these helpless little ones.
Let me tell you a 'few plain truths. There is
no or] nor any other medicine needed for an
intent that has a mother to suckle it. The
first supply of. milk is purgative, and quite
different from what comes afterwards. N 0
infant requires food the first twenty-four
hours; no infant ever died for want of that!
the first day of its existence, but hundreds
have died from over-feeding. And I need
notsay give no spirit or soothing mixture,
for if you do not abuse its stOmach; but have
faith and leave it to nature, you will not re-
quire any. -
About rocking the cradle. It is foolish to
teach a child to expect you to work at the
cradle when it goes to sleep; it occupies
time and dpes the child no good. The next
habit is. even worse, that is, teaching the
child to compel you to walk about with it
til it chooses to fall asleep, and then put it
to bed without awakening i t, which you me
try to do five or six times without succee -
mg, and each time have to begin your walk
again. Begin as you intend to go on. Lay
it down awake, and if nature requires it,
sleep Will come, and if not, no rocking will
force it; but this must be taught from the
beginning. A healthy infantought to sleep
twenty hours out of the twenty-four, during
its first month, which it will do without any
rocking, and it is a great pity for you to
teach it anything different. '-
Never frighten a child by mentioning
the doctor in any way as a punishment;
one would think that a moment’s reflection
would convince any person of the extreme
folly of doing this. How can a physician
find out the true slate of a child’s pulse, or
breathing, or the countenance when the
poor little thing is trembling with fear? I

well together; but after some days the child
would not come to me, but was so nervous
and agitated that I could do no good. Oh
making inquiry, I found that her mother
had told her that if she did not do as she bid
her, the doctor would come and “ cut her
head Off.” Of course the child believed her
own mother, and therefore no wunder she
looked upon me with horror. ‘ After
. lie
I succeeded in restoring confidence. Em
her I would come to see her when slI ‘ as
ill, nay, even if she had some dreadful fever
when others could not come to her, I won]
never forsake her, and so on. Young as she
was, she .vcny soon discovered that her
mother had told her unlruth. Now, in-
stead Of holding up tigdoctor as a bngbear
to terrify a child, try to impress upon it that
he comes on‘ a visit of mercy, then it will be
calm and trustful, and the doctor will'ham‘.I
a better chance of restoring his patient to
health.
When taking an infant out, and you re-
quire to shade its face tion] the sun or wind,
be careful that the handkerchief, or what- _
ever you use, does not touch the face. Few -
people are aware what a slight thing will
suffocate a child if its hands be fastened so
that it cannot use them, A very fine child
lost its life in.this way not very long since.
A silk handkerchief was thrown over its
face, and the wind blew it against the mouth
and nose; so . that every time 'the infant'
oasped for air, it sucked in the handkerchief
l closer, and as it could not cr , there was

rival at heme she found it dead.
One of the common ailments of children
is Worms. If you notice a child grinding
give it to him. I apologized thus to myself its teeth, X‘Ubbing its 11039, and otherwise
complaining of itching, and the up elite un—
certain, your suspicions may airly be
aroused, but the only positive evidence of
worms is in finding them in the child’s evac-
uations. They sometimes cause serious ill-
ness, which is known as “ worm fever.”
You may prevent this by a little timely at-
tention, without giving them the common
worm cakes, and such'like remedies, which
nearly all contain calomel. For a child
about four years old, mhke a tea as follows:
—-Get half an ounceof‘pt'nk-root anda quar-
ter of an ounce of senna and of fennel.
Put a pint of boiling water on them and
give a table-spoonful three times a day.
Do not be anxious to make uninfant stand
or walk too early. Because one child walks
at a certain age, it is noreason why another

and fitness of the child to do it. When the

Mothers frequently suffer a great deal of
anxiety from _a child having mellowed a
marble or coin ,' but it is very seldom there
are any bad effects. The best plan is to give
the food a little more solid than usual, and
no purgative medicine. It is very surpris-

It sometimes happens when people, but
particularly children, are .ill of some serious
disease, when it is at the crisis, or what is
callec ‘_‘ at the turn,” they take some Odd
fancy in the way of food; they will ask for
some articles quite out of the common way,
perhaps something which you are not aware
they have ever tasted. In these casesI have

There are two cautions to be observed here—
first, this must not be confounded with the
fanciful appetite of a disordered stomach, ,
where a dozen different-things are asked for
in the day, and not one of them eaten; and
second, it is .well to mention it to the doctor
who is watching over the child, so that he
may suit his treatment to the particular ar-
ticle taken, if he approves of it. One of the
cravings of an invalid is for water: There
is nothing which the most skillful nurse can
make which is relished so much as pure,
cold, fresh water; and unless there be‘some
especial reason against it, there should be

A “hard up” contemporary tells his tale
of woe. He says : “Collecting money is now
an tip-hill business. Last week a man slep-
ped up to us and said he would pay every
cent he owed us if he lived until Saturday
night. We presume the man died. Anoth-
er said he would pay us in a do or two, as
sure as we were born. Query— id the man
lie, or were we never born? Another said
he would settle as sure as shooting. We
are led to the conclusion that shooting is un-
certain. Another said he hoped to go to
the devil if he did not pay us in three days.—
flaveu’t seen him since ; suppose he's gone,
but we trust he has not hoped in vain.
Quite a. number said they would see us to-
morrow. These men .have‘ been stricken

man told us six months ago that he would.
pay us as soon as he gotsome money. The
man would not lie, and, of course, he has
