But for all tbe rent they are free aa the nwallovn skimming over the mill lake, aid DO more pressure ia put on them than on tbe Iambi frisking in the meadowa.

ID a word, the pueutal instiuot, of wbiob we make HO njuob account, IB ic nniveraal to begin with, and it certainly doeB uot iuolude oomiu .n aeuae aa part ol ita iualiutmble fun iture. And nature, who, it ia the faabion to nay, doea all things wel', does undoubtedly here make tripe aud alip, which go uear to *pjil the whole tlir. We have known, in our own personal eiper- lenoa, mothers who have not the faintest Hhred of affection, instinctive or reasonable, for their offspring mothers who looked u|a their children aa hindrances to enjoyment and dimmisbers by so inch of tbe general fund mothera who tried to forget that iluy ware mother*, and who kept tbeir little onea out ot their aigbt, aa tbey bad already, ta in the begin- ning, eloaed agaiuat them tbeir heart* mothers who never forgave t heir child ran the crime tbey had been guilty ot iu ex ruing into the world at all, and who, to tbe last, apoke <f ili-ir maternity M a cruel, personal wrong (or Inch there was no atonement. Aud we have known mother* who war* aa fierce aa, and no more reasoning in tbeir instinota than, so many tigresses in the jungle i. ), like ben* wi h a callow brood, lived in a perpetual slate of alarm and defence where no aggression waa intended wbo aaw a hawk in every passing wren, and who never knew an honr'a true peace of mind from tbe firat moment of Ihe birth to tbe nut of tbeir own live*. Between th* two we would ask, Where reason i* to be found? Where bat common seats ber aland .' and, What waa our Mother Nature about wben aha let theae two opposite* undertake the most saored office of the humau race, or, baving undertaken il, that she did not teach them their duty better? For tba unnaluralueaa ot certain mother*, fashion and pleasure are obit fly to blame. A child's sweet caress does not rank witb these women for ro much as tb* flattery of a fop or tbe envy of a rival beauty. A new frock or a gay dance is far beyond tbe delight of noting bow well baby begin* to walk aad bow sharp it is in knowing this and tbat. Tbe world overshadows the cradle, and tbe ball ro^m is more attractive than ihe nuraery ; aud ao these fashionable mothers ignore their duties a* completely a* if those dutie* did not exist, and are deserter* ot tb* flag under which uature called them to serve. If tbe little onea are not pretty aud not available for public parade, they are not dressed jno'.ure-quely and they are uot taken out. Grown older, tbe ill-favored children of a handsome mother obangf, but do not drop. tbe burden ot their sorrows. A woman with t still youthful and pretty faoe, trim waiat and delicate aboulders, wbe ia the mother ol a rudely hewn uagainly girl, ha* ber own self-made truukies wbiob she takea care to paw on. If she oan marry ber to a man going to India or the oolotiea, she ia thoroughly contra!. Then she baa got rid of her ; and perbape, baving got rid of ber, she softens IB br sentiments and apeak* witb friendli oea* of ber dear daughter. But tbe old Aoeifari aud intimate acquaintances smile wbei tbey bear her, lor tbey know tb* " underneath of the cards," and how tbe girl waa firat thrust to the aide and then hustled away, and never at any time treated like a daughter or even aa a friend. Then there are tbe parents whose method of education is one of exoeaaiva intellectual icverity and moral coercion. However delicate tbe child may be, he ia forced to learn more tban ia good for him, aud ia hounded to bis tasks a* ruthlessly a* a slave-driver hound* tbe field hand* to their*. Sick or sorry, be ba* those difficult auma to do. Pale cheeks, tearful eyes, aching bead, all ara of no avail. Hi* father baa aet his heart on making him clever; hia mother insist* tbat he aball be good. Between them tb* routine i* on* ot con- stant imposition, detention, puniabmeut, and overwork all round.

A* a police boundary, or s methiug of that sort, il may serve some purpote , but an defence to tbe city, if it were attacked by a modern army, il would be useless.
