I have taken special notice of babies of both sexes, I have watched them grow up to men's estate. In the case of boys, and woman's, in the case of girls, and taking them in sequenco tho boys as they grow up have any amount of go in them, as witness the numerous out-door games, and the gusto in which theyi enter into them, at once marks them as noble athletes, of first, second or third-calss quality ; and according to class they are entertained by Premiers. Mayors, and other dignatories, but follow these young men home, and in too many cases you will find them treating their parents as only fit to supply them with food and clothes,, and if a stranger happen to be present at one of their meals:, and mildly suggest a proper reverence to fathers and mothers, will laugh in your face and tell you that that, is all humbug, and that they had no right to expect it from them. This, mixed tip with athletic slang, shows what, might be expected from the f:libers and mothers of the next genera Hon. Now we will speak of the girls or young women. If stm happen to have brothers she wili be s.s full of fooUnsll slang as they. I'erhaps her parents are hard working worthy people, semi!; her for severs.! quarters fo music ies-

sons. She has not don,' mere (ban our quarter of this until she presumes to call in question her teachers ruline. in the technique of music. She will join, perhaps*, an amateur musical society, ami in the numerous rehear-

J can quite understand that it. mq-ht account, for the seismic activity prevailing all over this planet, for some time past, and concurrently with this, the general unrest that prevails, mt only in our own Mother Country, but tho world over, foretells to the thinking man the. numerous and dil'beul!. problems that, must arise in tho near future. When they do conn 1 up tor solution, as come up they must., it will be a trying ordeal tor all there who sit in high places.
