TOUGHENING INFANTS, 



A whiteu on physiological subjects, in Black- 

 wood, gives the tolhiwiu- iidvirr In iniitlnrn.u the 

 above subject : 



"Maternal instinct has in all ages ami in all 

 climates taught women to keep their infants 

 . Philosophers hove at rnrious times tried, 

 by logic and rhetoric, to thwart this instinct. 

 PhOosoph] has boon eloquent 00 the virtue of 

 making infants ' hardy,' and bos declared that 

 cold baths nnd -h-ln clothi ni; must he as •strength- 

 ening' to the infant as to the odiilt. Listen to

 not be perverted by such un physiological teaching 

 as that of 'hardening' infants, ll is true that 

 strung infants can endure this process, but it is 

 certain that in all cases it is more or less injuri-

THE SPnUT OF UNSEST. 



To illustrate the difficulty of being 1 

 with one's lot, Dr. Fnisn lis gave an apple 

 child. This filling one hand he gave it 

 which filled tbe other. He then offered it 



larger, rosier and more beautiful than 

 two. Failing to hold all three, it burst i 

 In the principle thus illustrated, we dis 

 of the strongest eniitributniH li. mini's I 

 and unhappincss in life. DlBConlefltt d 

 present stale, we are ever seeking " solid bliss, by 

 trying something new." Impelled by the spi 

 " unrest," man is cnu-tanth seeking for soinething 

 beyond his present grasp, ami he who has experi- 

 enced the joy of the inventor or discoverer, can be- 

 lieve us when we say there is no earthly joy like 

 that which ascends in the glad "Eureka" shout 

 with winch one hcriilils In. triumph. Men 

 that iu earthly fume and glory is to be found the 

 boon of happiness, yet when these are once 

 lainid. Iliev always fail — with the false man, 

 cause ii is not in his nature to he filled — with 

 true man, because those feebler lights are los 

 I lie brighter r,lnrv which hn experience, the 

 ward Milist'iictiim of having taken a step in mil' a 

 of his age. Appi'idinc lo him through the sc 

 mcut, "what man bos dune, mon can do," t 

 spirit of "unrest" reveals to him the hidden thing-. 

 beyond the bounds of present knowledge, 

 leaches to the soul, the grandeur, the beauty of 

 creation. This '•unresting" in the pre; 

 revealed a great idea to a man, nnd for tn 

 years— years of disappointed hope, of fai 

 accounted madness— this man sought to embody his 

 idea, nud behold tmw in every dwelling the record of 

 tbe labors and triumph of Darubrre. Men, fellow - 



and in their jubilant glee have lacked the means ol 

 proclaiming their triumphs to the world; and lo, 

 greater inventions have given them publicity.— 

 Steam cried, 



and it was done. The lightning laughed in hoarse 

 thunder notes at the impotence of man, and defied 

 him, and lo, it has been chained to the chariot of 

 thought, and now vies wilh the speed of light 

 liuste to do man's bidding. 



This spirit of " unrest, "—the soul of progress, and 

 the inspiration or Genius,- is well nigh invincible. 

 Let an idea but once laugh in its face, and no mat- 

 ter how vague, no matter how dimly seen far down 

 the corridors of the un attained, ond it pursues
