THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 1871. LOVE OF CHILDREN. From the- London Saturday Review. Of all tbe qualities for which a human being can be admired, perhaps there is none that strikes ns as more thoroughly amiable than a love of children. If it were possible to construct a moral saeetaarometer for noea STirLng the degree of inherent sweetness in a man's nature, we should probably discover that it varied alniot.t directly as the sympathy which be felt for very young infants. Human beings have fortunately or unfortunately, as the case may be developed no peculiarity more decisively as civilization advances than power of concealing their feelings. Bitter eiperiencehas taught them to be scrupulously reticent in the matter of infants. Were it not for that ciroumstance, we might obtain a very fair estimate of the amiable propensities existing in various persons by presenting to them a baby under six months old, and observing bow they were affected by it. The most sen sitive would have their benevolent affections raised to boiling-point, whilst the more stolid would Bink far below zero. And yet, admit ting this as a fact of experience, we may perhaps ask without offense whether there is ny justification for the sentiment on grounds of pure reason. Why should we be called upon to love a small lump of fat and gristle with an infinitesimal infusion of soul rather than a fully developed human being ? Some people might answer that a child is more innocent than a grown-up man. In one sense of the word this is undoubtedly true, but it is the sense in which innocence ceases to be a recommendation. We do not admire an idiot because be has not maintained any theories destructive of all genuine reli gion, or even a rich man because he has not shown any marked propensity to steal. Inno cence is good in so far as it implies a resolute resistance to temptation; but if the innocent person is altogether beyond the reach of a ay temptation, he so far ceases to be inte resting. A baby has not shown a marked propensity for spirituous liquors; but then it has been reduced to a llobson's choice in regard to its consumption of food; it has not displayed homicidal tenden cies, but it has abstained from committing murder for the best of all possible reasons. To love any one for a pure negative, for not being malevolent when he or she is equally free from benevolence, seems to imply a pal pably erroneous inference. And therefore, so far as the sentiment is to be estimated by its accordance with reason, the baby-hater would seem to have just as good a justifica tion as the baby-lover, and the only sensible frame of mind would appear to be a complete indifference to these rough draughts of hu manity. We should wait till the features become more pronounced, and till we ban tell whether the soft mass of breathing and mov ing flesh and blood is more likely to develop into a Nero or a St. Paul. Another form of the argument is, that we ought to be more aff ected by the sight of infant suffering. That we are in fact more easily moved is undeniable; the sight of a starving child, or even of a child afliioted by some purely trilling sorrow, is undoubtedly more affecting than that of a grown-up man Buffering far more serious calamity. And yet again we must ask whether this sentiment can be justified in cold blood ? A child, it is said, has done nothing to deserve the ago nies of hunger under which it is suffering. But who can say whether a grown-up man deserves the pain a bit more fully? Take an unlucky pauper, gradually sinking under ill-treatment till he becomes the subject of a sensation paragraph in the newspapers. Why should we care for him less than for one of the wretched infants who are gradually put out of the way in a biby f arming establishment? lie deserves it, it may be said; but how? Was he ever brought up to understand the duty he owes to man kind? Was he ever brought up to be indus trious, or prudent, or independent? So far as we can tell, he is the victim of external circumstance just as much as the helpless infant which perishes , before it has bad the opportunities of learning which have never come to its elders. Why should we be less moved when the tragedy has been protracted over sixty years, instead of being acted within a tenth part of the same num ber of months ? If anything, our sympathies should be due rather to the victim of defective social arrangements who has Buffered long est and been most fully conscious of his misery. Yet, as a fact, most people would feel far more deeply moved, and we should generally admit that they ought to be more deeply moved, by the story of tortures inflicted upon helpless in fants than by that of much greater tortures inflicted upon adults who in all but name are equally helpless for all practical pur poses. If it is amiable to feel more strongly in proportion to the degree in whioh a suf ferer is incapable of sharing our thoughts and responsibilities, why should we draw the line at infants ? The range which we give to our sympathies seems tobe strangely capri cious. Sensible people are fond of a child as soon es it begins to talk intelligibly, but do not care much for children who are below or much above that limit. A boy of ten or eleven is a noxious being in the eyes of many who are profoundly affected by the sight of a child just able to totter about on uncertain limbs. More amiable people go a little fur ther, and are fond even of an infant in arms; bnt then, for the most part, they draw a hard and fast line between children and monkeys. Why, if we are profoundly touched by the attempts of a child to imitate grown-up people, by the Fragments of his dream of human life, Soaped by himself with newly-learned art, should we be simply disgusted when our poor relations try to do tbe same thing? A monkey, with a grotesque appearance of being little lower than a negro, nils many benevolent people with intense repugnance: the infant, who has yet developed scarcely any faculties that it does not possess in common witn tue lewer animals, affects them to tears by similar indications of nascent intellect. Sympathy does not seem to increase in any intelligible ratio to the resemblance of its object to ourselves. We are delighted with a baby be cause it is like ns; we are disgusted with a monkey because it is like us in a slightly in ferior degree; and we are pleased again with dog because it shows some traces of an in tellect such as our own, though at a still more remote distance. How are we to discover a formula which will acoouut for these vagaries of feeling, and bhow why the successive terms of a continuous series produce alternately loathing and delight? We might possibly, if it were worth while, suggest some reasons for tbe phenomenon; but there is at least one which will scarcely bear inspection. We are not biassed by the intrinsic merits of tbe animal. Lord Palmer tton produced much scandal and a good deal of amusement by promulgating the herMcl tLtory that all people are boru good. With out tliwciifbing th ttieological bearings of lhin doctrine, we may at W-t say that it will burdly bear inspection from a scientific point of view. Rudimentary vices are as con spicuous in little children as rudimentary irtues. Let anybody observe -candidly a child of two or three years old. There is scarcely any defect which it would not be possible for an unprejudiced person to dis cover. Such a child may be benoveleat, courageous, and conscientious acoording to its little lights. But certainly it is also very apt to be sensual, selfish, and spiteful, and to show these qualities with a frankness which generally disappears in later life. It is greedy without blushing; it will appropriate the belongings of its little brothers and sis ters with the utmost coolness; and it will tell lies as soon as it begins to discover what is the use of language. Painters generally please themselves by portraying infant saints and martyrs; but if they were anxious to in dulge in realistic representations they would have no trouble in finding models for infant Judases, Cains, or Sapphiras. We generally excuse the misdeeds on the ground that our infant darlings know no better; but, if we insisted on strict impartiality, the same argument would take all the merit out of their virtues. Children, indeed, sometimes develop the failings ot an advanced civilization with a precocity which is rather amusing. Thackeray, than whom nobody was a greater lover of children, some where relates an instructive anecdote. Half-a-dozen children are playing with a puppy, and manufacturing mud-pies. To them enters a companion, and exclaiais, "Mary Jane, your sister has found a penny." Straightway tbe puppy is put down as if it were so much dress, the mud-pies are abandoned, and the little band of courtiers gathers round the in fant millionaire and accompanies her to the apple-stall. Were not these infants in course of preparation if only the Fates were pro pitious to appear in some future Book of Snobs ? SMALL-POX IN NEW JEIiSEY. An Alarming Stnte of Affair In Orange A ScumUou In Newark, In the pretty town of Orange, five miles dis tant from Newark, the absorbing topic of con versation just now is small-pox and its alarming spread In the place. As in Newark, there is a law requiring all persons stricken down with the dieeaee to be reported by the physician to the health authorities, bat as in Newark, they do as they please, and they don't please to report. Tho cases that are reported are entered in a book, and this is kept under lock and key from tbe lynx-eyed newspaper reporters, lest they might publish the facts and do what the board does not do give people proper warning as to the locality of tbe disease, and how to avoid coming in contact with it. As it is people are in an indescribable state of dread, Imagining that matters are ten times worse than is really the case. The town authorities of West Orange are taking great pains to keep the disease from spreading in their limits. A hospital has been provided, and vaccination provided lor and ordered in every proper case. .Newark, too, is 6till agitated about the epi demic. Yesterday one Patrick Murphy turned up in tbe office of the Overseer of the Poor in quest of alms. At a glance it was discovered thai he was covered with small-pox 6ores. He stated that he had come from Belleville in a horse-car crowded with people, and that he was in search of a doctor. lie further stated that a week ago he emigrated to New Jersey from New York. He was promptly removed to the Small-pox Hospital and his companions marched back to the metropolis. The greatest anxiety is felt in Newark and Belleville to know which car it was they rode in N. Y. Ilerald, to-day. SPECIAL NOTICES. Jgy PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD COMPANY, TREASURERS DEPARTMENT. Pnii.iDBi.riHA, May a, lan.

They have 80 years to run, bear Seven and Three- tenths per cent, gold Interest (more than 8 per cent, urrency), and are secured by first and only mort gage on the ENTIRE ROAD AND ITS BQUiV MENTS, and also, as fast as the Koad Is completed, on 83,0( 0 acres of land to every mile of track, or 600 acres for each 11000 Bond. They are exempt from U. S. tax ; principal and Interest are payable In gold. Denominations Coupons, (100 toflOOO; Registered, ioo to fio.ooo. Northern Pa-iflc 7-SO's are at all times receivable, at TEN PER CENT. ABOVE PAR, in exchange for the Company's lands, at their lowest cash price. The proceeds of all sales of lands are required to be devoted to the repurchase and cancellation of the First Mortgage Bonds of the Company. Tbe Land Grant of the Road exceeds Fifty Million Acres in the most fertile portion of the Northwest, aad tho de mand for the Company's lands for settlement already exceeds the ability of the Government to complete the surveys. This Immense Sinking Fund will un doubtedly cancel the principal of tie Company's bonded debt before it falls due. Holders of U. S. Five-twenties, who wish to con vert them into a first-class railroad security, can do so at a present profit of about 12 per cent., while In creasing their Interest Income nearly one-fourth, by exchanging them for Northern Ppelna 7-308, All marketable ttocks and bonds be received in exchange, free of express charges, at their highest current price.
