From whose lips do Jou wish her to hear of sueh sacred hings? Who else so devoutly a8 you can enter that ‘holy of holies" with your child? What tie te bind her to son in tender confidesce have you lost. But you let her go from you unsatisfied and thoughtful, and if you have never done so before, you have now made a little wall of separaticn between yours self and ber, and when her curiosity is again exciied, she will appeal to some one elso--some other shila perhaps, as curious as herself, possibly not as in- nocent, and a heart that should have remained as pure as the morning, is contaminated with vain imaginations, until the eyes that once lookedjinto sy ours for a truthful answer, would quail before you, could you read the thoughts of a guilty heart? “But,” a mother once said to me, “all the bloom and innocence of her it may be gone past your recall, though you seek 1t “earnestly and with tears,” unless you attend to this duty yourself, pathy such a course will establish be- tween yourself and your child, and all through her life, the memory of your words will untold and immeasurable.

And in the same way he discovered the sound which described pain or sickness, and | another which expressed either » sense { of danger or a threat, the effect of its utterance being to alarm the monkey { 80 violently that he always sprang to | the highest point in his cage, and after it has been repeated three or four { times the result was that the creature became almost frantic with dread; nor | would this monkey even allow himself | to be attracted by the words for drink {or food after he had once learned to | nasociate Proffesor Garver with this | sound, expressive of either danger or | menace, In this fashion Professor Garner | obtained the mastery of about eight or { mine sounds, which may be changed by | different modulations into three or four | times that number, so as to express modi- | fied formas of the same word, ali of these chiefly vowel sounds with the barest indications of something like a conson- ant; and these sounds Professor Garner rogards as the constituent elements of an apes e¢ which has a variety of different acoording to species of ape addressed, M.
