Maternal Ignorance. During one of Elizabeth Cady Stanton's lecturing tours she had oc casion to visit MtVernon,lowa,which point she reached late one very cold Sunday night As the train rolled off she found herself alone in the dark ness, the depot deserted and locked a gainst all travelers. To stay there was to freezey*to go somewhere else was to fall into some ditch or trap she knew not of. Thinking perhaps some one might be asleep inside, she began to pound upon the doors and win dows. Receiving no answer her only resource was to scream. So she shout ed 'Hallo 1 Hallo!' loud and long. Just as she began to despair of being beard, the sound of footsteps gladden ed her heart,and soon a strong young man appeared. He was the telegraph operator, and lived half way between the town and the depot. As Mrs. Stanton was advertised to speak there she did not need much of an introduc tion. The young man readily under stood the situation, and taking a key out of his pocket said : 4 Will you sit in the depot until I go up to the town and get a sleigh, or would you prefer to walk ?' Shivering with cold and fearing to stay alone, she chose the latter. It was slow work, as the snow was deep and the wind was strong. Her companion lightened her discomforts, however, by describing his lite in the army, battles, prisons, hospitals, care of the sick # etc., which led to the following .• 'One year ago I married a pretty Southern girl, and now we have aba by a month old, and, poor little thing, it cries all the time, and we feel so sorry for it that sometimes we all cry together. Do you know anything a bout babies V said he, stopping sud denly, as if propounding a most mo mentous question. 'Yes,' said I, 'I know all about them. I have read all the authorities, from Dr. Andrew Combe down to Mrs. Winslow's soothing syrup, and I have made a practical application of my knowledge on seven of ray own children.' Inspired with confidence in my Wonderful attainments in this depart ment of knowledge, he said : 'lf I should bring a sleigh to-morrow morning, would you go and see my wife and baby and tell us what to do?' I replied: 'I shoud be happv to show my gratitude to you for all your kindness by doing something for your wife and baby in return.' Accordingly, the next morning we drove to his home. I found a sweet looking, pale young mother, weary and worn with the care of a child that seemed to be in great suffering, wring gling and twisting like an eel. She said it never seemed at ease day or night. Taking it in my arms I soon saw that it was bandaged as tight as a drum from its arms to its hips. I took every pin out, leaving all the clothing loose, rubbed its little back and breast gently, and laid it out on an even surface on the bed, at peace, where it slept quietly all the time I re mained, and, as the father told me the next day, long after, the first comfort able nap the poor little soul had since it was born. I sat a long time, telling the young mother how to take care of herself and her baby, and the reason for all my directions. I have asked many moth ers why they bandaged their children, and they never yet heard one good reason. To show how ignorant they are, one told me her nurse said a baby must be as it would be in danger of falling apart if not tightly pinned together. I replied that it was rather remarkable that kittens and puppies should have been made so as to hold together and the human family left wholly at the mercy of a bandage. The next day at Cedar Rapids I was relating my Mt Vernon experience to one of my sons, when I remembered that I had not told the young mother to giye her baby water every day. 'Now,'said I, 'that poor baby will suffer with thirst. They will give the dog and cat and canary bird wa ter, but they will never think of the baby.' So I wrote a telegram, 'Give the baby water six times a day,' and harried my son off to dispatch it. When he returned he said: 'The operator laughed so immoderately he could hardly send the message, and I joined in the chorus.' 'Well,' said I, 'you may laugh, but that is one of the most important mes sages ever sent over the wires for the future peace and happiness of the race.' Making the same trip years after, I met the young man and inquired a bout the baby. 'Hale and hearty, and has had wa ter six times a day,' he answered. 'Then you received my telegram ?' said I. 'Oh, yes,' he replied. 'lt was pub lished in the papers, and I received it from every point of the compass for months afterward. When the operators at the various stations had nothing else to do they used to send me that tele gram. So the water was never forgot ten.' 'I have often told mothers wrestling xvith their children if, instead of shak ing and scolding the poor things, they would give them water to drink and a sponge bath, they would save them selves much trouble and their children much suffering. Hut they all have an insane prejudice against water. They will give them tea and coffee, all kinds of mints, but never water. We have too few intelligent mothers, such as are ready to meet the usual emergencies, which sooner or later must 1m had in the experience of every mother.' ADVICE TO MOTKEKN.

'Faith,it's ineself I'd loike to see there.' The Printers' Bible, issued before 1702, contained an absurd misstatement of David in the 110 th Psalm v, 101 in which he was pathetically made to say that' printers persecuted him without a cause,' instead of princes.

She went away, but soon returned with another cat, and, standing upon his shoulders, they were soon enjoying a genuine game dinner. The history of Boston women begins with a young girl, Ann by name, ten years old, who was the first person to leap from the boat which brought over the exploring party from Charleston in 1630; and when, as Mrs. Pollard, she died in 1725, aged 105 there was left be hind her a canvas, still in existence iu the gallery of the Historical Society, in which the strong, hard lines of the old face indicate a toughness which could well have borne the hardships of the early settlement.

He refers to the entire Western and Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no ease whatever will it fail to cure if the direo tions are strictly followed and oarried out In a great many ease* a single does has been sufficient for a cure, and whole fkmi lies have been cured by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent ana in every osse more oert&in to ouzo, if its use is continued in smaller dose* for a week or two after the disease has been checked, mere especially in difficult and long-standing oases.
