The child roams ahout the streets, untaught, 

 uncaredfor; it loliows lempintion, it oheys the 

 i-niM.lse of lis nature ; is it not at school? Yes 

 verily; and n drinks in pieedily the inslruction 

 It receives, and will show its improvement in pre- 

 cocious wickedness. 'Ihe youth passes his time

 ers congregate ; seeks occupation enough to .lis- 

 pel the ihscontent of total inactivitv, in drinkin- 

 smoking or loose conversation ; and to diversifV

 mother vices of maturer lile. And is he nor at 

 school ^ \ es, and you will see he in making ad- 

 vances from day to day. His former notiou.s, if 

 he ever ha.l any, of religious ohiigation, passin-' 

 nway, he is forming new hahits of thinking ; gels 

 i«ew views ol men and things, and fancies Vhat

An Improvement in Bread-Making— Per- 

 sons who are so uiiforiunateas to be poorly pro- 

 vided wiih those agents of masiica'.ion, good 

 tee h will be glad to know that there is a method 

 of bakmg bread which obviates ibe necessiiy of 

 a hard crust. Ihe crust commonly allached to 

 he loaf IS not only troublesome lo such persons 

 but IS olien the cause of much waste. T|,e waV 

 to be rid of it is as follows. When the loaves are 

 moulded, and belore Ihey are set dow n to •' ri«e " 

 take a small <,uanliiy of clean lard, warm ii and

Instinct OF HLANTs.-Observation shows ihat 

 planls have hours devoied to rest, d.i.ing which 

 time they make liiile or no progi'e.ss in growth! 

 A cmiotis proof of this statement was affurdc<l

 outlhe nigl.l; and whe.e ibis was done the 

 grapes ripened sooner by several weeks ; but sub-

 stimulaled were much weakened 



Some plants, like some animals, have been or-

 active only d.iring those hours. The nigbi-bloom-
