Nothing can excite the Indignfttlon of man of sensibility like the abuse of a child. To see n delicate and helpless child in tho hands of a brutal father or mother, receiv ing stripes or bruises, administered without reason or conscience, will bring on an attack of Inward profanity in the most pious of us. I witnessed au Instance of this in the sub urbs, the other day. A big, burly laborer took a dirty urchin across his knee, and split n thick shlngle.on the fruit of his loins as if he wero getting up kindling wood for the next morning's fire, while the poor boy yelled with anguish. I could have roasted the brute on his own hearth, without turn ing him, It is an outrageous abuse, alo to terrify a child. Oh I the spooks and bugbears which children of quick imaginations aro sure tn see at night, in belated walks or in lonely beds I Curses on the careless or cruel men aud women who have filled their minds with these horrible figments I 'Ah 1 that is one of the things I am very particular nbout," exclaims the father or mother who is leading this article. 'I never punish,' says another : 'I never annpnl tn a child's fears; and 'I permit no one to fill my cnnu s Drains with horrible stories,' says a third. 'Not one of these nice people who read The Home Weelly would plead guilty )tne charge or abusing his or her children, presume you love vour children tW in. deed, you are foolishly fond of them ; aud now l wish to tell you of a way in which the kindest parents may abuse their child ren, as really and as injuriously as the most Inconsiderate or the most brutal. I wish to speak particularly of the abuse ' little girls. A little girl is, or may be, ought to be, tho sweetest creature on all io round earth. She comes neHrpMt. In lipr gentleness, and simplicity, her truthfulness, her utter artlessncss, to the angels, of all that is born of woman and bred in tliRwnrl,! The more a woman can keep of her child- uoous simplicity, truthfulness heartiness, and ail the traits that character. her rh!M. hood, the better will she be. A woman who has reached her womanly estate, and re mains as a child in all but strength and wis. dom, is exactly that woman which the good KingSobmon (a man of large experience and remarkable opportunities for observa tion) did not find 'in a thousand.' How.tlicn.are our sweet little xrirla abused? Let me tell you. Hut first let me say a few words touching ceneral tirincioles. There are proprieties of dress growing out of the nature of these precious little prattlers that an unsophi-ticated taste will always observe. nere are women whom all ornament is en irely inconsistent with their stvle. nf liennt.v and character. A little rustic cottage among tje trees cannot be Improvid by elaborate ness of architectural adornment. Such orna ment is inharmonious with the character of the dwelling and the nature of its surround ings. And so itis with a little girl. A lit tle girl Is simple in her character ana sim ple in her character and simple in her style of beauty ; aud all elaborateness ot dress and excess of personal adornment, when applied to her, are utterly offensive and irredeema- ny vulgar. Now will you walk out with ne into the streets of any of our cities or .irge towns on a sunny afternoon or on n pleasant Sunday morninir. and take a look at the passing juvenile toilets ? What a be llowered, beribbuiied, befeathered, becurled, begummed and bedazzlirg procesi-ion ot an imated dolls in short frocks and tnsielled bootstrincs do we behold ! It is amusim- tn see tho amount of costly raiments that the tond idolatry or foolish pride of parents has piled upon these little persons. Plumes that co their weight in greenbacks, flowers that mimic the most coreeous work of June. ribbons broad enough aud long enough to make a waist for their little bodies, and millinery fushiness euouiih for au ambitious old dowager, load them down. The abuse of these children conslsts main. ly, in the sophistication of their plaHic tastes, and the awakening in their young natures of u loye of personal adornment. I have seen a simple child, or one who was once and nileht have remained a simnle child, stand and 'prink' before a glass lost in admiration of her nrettv th ncs : then po . . - n-.- u out upon the street, and bv every motion nf her head show that the supreme subject of tier thoughts was the load of dry goods she was carrvine : and then Irf-trav bv I ier man ners the terrible fact that the value that Bhe set upon herself and upon all tho little girls she met. was graduated bv the value nf the apparel which she and they respectively wore, il that child had not been the victim of a gross parental abuse, more nermanent in its injury than any that the laborer's sningie could inlllct, then I am much mU. taken. A love of finerr once fixed in Ihn mind of a little elrl. she baa received an in. jury which later good sense and a corrected taste will never entirely erad eate. Vmm the depth of my heart I pity a child who cannot be so far a child as to forget her clothes ; and I pity those misguided parents whose unconscious cruelty has fastened upon her an appetite which transforms her Into vain little fool. 'Well, how Bhall we dress them 1" rirena tnem as you feed them simply, you do not crowd their y'oune stomachs with hlrnniv meats, or stimulating spices, or rich csnfec- tlons. if you do, you only double your Cruelty.

There Is, unfortunately, more than one way in which the love of finery is bred In a child. A little girl Is much In tho house, and much In the society nf the ladles of the house, whoever they may be. I beg leave to Inquire of tho mothers of my little friends what subject they are accustomed to hear discussed most frequently, nnd with the most intense personal interest. I was a boy who loved most to be out of doors, and, lu later years, I have spent more tlmo In the library than In the parlor ; and I ask, there fore, for Information. I think that at odd times in my life I have heard allusions made to dress among my lady acquaintance; and It has been intimated to me by those who ought to know, that there is no subject so absorb ing and nf such constant interest in female circles as that of personal adornment. This may be a slander, but I am afraid that it is not; and if not, how natural is it that the child who witnesses this devotion to dress in its mother, or Its adult acquaintan ces, should grow up with the impression that personal adornment is the great end of life, How many a mother owes it to her own vanity and vulgarity that her little one teases her for trinkets nnd finery that she can poorly afford, and would gladly dispense with, but which she finds it hard in her motneriy sympathy to deny her. How many family circles are there which are little more lan schools of personal vanity, where girls i trained to a love or dress from the date their first consciousness between a rag and a ribbon. And this I de- lare to be a terrible abuse, which leaves Its lark upon the soul while life lasts, I do not assert that p 1 1 fnniliie for ,1m.. children sprints from parental nlantlmr and fostering, nr from home influence and examphj. Children are thrown Into as sociations with their neighbors, aid they nice dlllerencesof dress.'and come quickly learn amone their mates that dri-m Ima much to do with the social .standing. They cannot understand that overdress is vulgar; so they beg for articles that will nlaen tiiAm upon an equal footing with their mates, and manya motner, against ber own best judg- eni, yields to the urgent entreaty of her ived ones, and gives them only what will ily feed a base appetite that grows upon s food.

Several stages had been robbed within two months, and tho driver was ripping along as though a gang of prai rie wolves were after him.
