As if a healthy child could bu still; as if it could take time to walk, or step over what came in its way; ?LS ?f it could fold its hands in its lan, when its little heart is so brimful of tickle. It is absurd and wrong, be cause it Ls unnatural. Childron, girls as well as boys, need exercise ; indeed they must have it, to bc kept! a healthy con dition. They need it to expand their chests, strengthen their muscles, tone their nerves, develop themselves general ly. And tins exorcise must be out of doors, too. It is not enough lu have calisthenics in thc nursery or parlor. They need to be out in the sunshine, nut in the wind, out in the grass, out in the woods, out of doors somewhere, if it be uu bigger place than thc common or 5>nrk. Suppose they du tan their pretty aces. Helter be as brown as a b.-rry, und have the pulse quick and strong, than white ns a lily and complain of cold feet and headache Suppose they do tear their ?dollies ; suppose they do wear out their shoes ; it don't try a mother's patience and strength half KO much to walch and merni as it docs to watch night after night a querulous sick child, and it1 don't drain a father's pocket-book ?taifas quick to buy siloes as it does to pay doe tori' bills.

Mother, meiner don't scold that little creature when shu comes and puts her basket on tho table and looks ruefully at the rent in thc now ginghams apron, and at tho little barn toes sticking out of tho hut pair of shoes. Wash off her hot face and soiled hands, mid give her a bowl of cool milk ami light bread, and when she has eaten her fill nnd got rested, make her sit down be side you and tell what she has seen ofT ] in these meadows and woods. .Hov heart will bc full of beautiful OjJrfa?-^bc sound o? the wind, tho full of I MieTe?vefi, the music of the wild birds' and tho laugh of wild flowers, the rip pling of streams and the color of pebbles, thu shade of thc clouds and thc hue of | thc sunbeams-all those will have woven their spoil over he? innocent thoughts, and made her a poet in feeling, if not in expression.' No, mothers, don't nurse up your little girls Uko house-plants.

PAYING TUE BIEL.-Tho following es timate of tho cost of tho Pittsburg riot by the New .York-.World does not take into account t?o duh?ago dono by loss* of life and tho crippling of a score or moro of fierions, nor tho shattering of the social aws or order that may bear more fruit ot any time : "Tho taxpayers of Pittsburg wbuld have been ! ss likely lo allow a handful ot ruffian te convert their city into a pandemonium if they bad realized tho consequences to themselves ofthat night's hideous work as fully as they now will bo made to do. Eight millions of dollars is thc lowest estimate of tho loss ca??scd by the mob, and many placo it at i'0,000, ,000. Already ono pawnbroker, whoso placo of business was ransacked by the [crowd, bas sued te recover $6,000: a leading lawyer notifies thc city that claims amounting lo $150,000 have been entrusted to him for collection, nnd sn it goes. A Pittsburg papor estimates rude ly the liability of the county at $118 per voter. Tho total amount hoing funded at five per cent., with tho allowance for a sinking fund, tho annual ?evy of Pitts burg .fill bc increased from $600,000 to $1,200,000. In other words, for the next twenty odd years every resident of Pl.ts burg who pays taxes will have his burden doubled, because, actively or passively, he aided last Saurday's rioting. In ac cordance with the invariablo rule, this increado of tho municipal burden, will fall upon tho mari of last resort-tho la-, borer. When the property bolder Las to , pay $1.000 ntoro in taxes, he" raises the raw wi UM --??V-, ---_ of them taxes each of his ten individual customers $1 to reimburse himself. These things indicate tho probablo cost lo the pcoplo of Pittsburg of their prac tical course in political courage.

T;;;; Qur???TJ???

Editors, that the needed reform, in which the gcucral pub lic is more immediately interested, is thc subject of exorbitant freights. For in stance, freight for Newberry, which is from 90 to 100 milos nearer Charleston than Greenville, is thirty-five per cent, higher than to the latter place. Why is this so? It may be scientific railroading, out it is utterly 'inpractical*! -, and the general public cannot appreciate it. The press must accomplish this reduction in fVeigh? to ? just standard, ere they can bc looked upon in the light of true re formers. At least such is the opinion of uine-tentha of the inhabitants of the mountain region. TUE FAMISH IN INDIA.--The Mar ums of Salisbury, Secretary of Htate for india, speaking on Friday at the prixo distribution at the College for Indian JCiigineers, gave a very gloomy view of famine prospects in India. "I regret to say," tue Marquis reuiarked, "that our prospects instead ot brightening have during tho last few weeks become more glooiiiv. There appears loo much reason to believe that n second period of famine is settling down over tuc vast district which constitutes .Sinthern India, and that famine cannot do otherwise than produce terrible mortality. I fear there is little reason to hope." After explaining how the difficulties of coping with the famine w< rc increased hy the lack of railway communication, and the fact that nearly all the draught animals had died of drought, the Marquis said: "But the physical circumstances are such that, even if weean prevent any widespread suffering from actual famine -which I very much doubt -there can ho no doubt that severe epidemics will, follow and complete its work."

GRANT IN ENGLAND.-Tho Queen carno down stairs to roccive the General, as she would do to a royal visitor, and if any rudeness took place in tho castle it did not proceed from the Queen. You had better ask bow it was that an invita tion which was at first designed only, for P*"??? o?.d Mr?. Grunt waa afterward nando to include Minister Picrrepont and his wifo and Master Jesse Grant. You will find, if you get to the. bottom of that story, a very pretty spocimcn of diplo matic manoeuvring, end you will see that if tho kite takes it into its bead to go up without its tail it will pretty soon find out that tho thing can't be done. You havo evidently underrated Minister Pierrcpont's accomplishments as a kite's tail. As for quarrels about "precedence," the only dispute that took placo was al a dinner where Gen. Grant insisted on going down before tho Duke of Cam bridge. And this ho would not havo done if his tmod friends who managed him hero had" not egged him on. It is a thousand pities that these matters should be rev Ired!. I knew of 'hem all at the time they took place, and of many other little ineldnnt* of which vour readers do not yet seem to have heard ; but it seemed to me tho wisest to say nothing about them.

Of 10.000 men recently se up to Warsaw for inspection, 10,000 wen rejected as unlit to serve from variou causes, not inclusive of short stuture. I has been established by sauitary com missions that Russia possesses fewer able bodied men in proportion than cithc France or Germany. Thc average dura tior. ;.f life, which in Britain is 40 years in (?erinany 38, and in France 30, doe not exceed 22 in thc healthiest parts o Russia, while along thc Volga and tin Caspian it fal Ls as low ns 15.

Of Into years, however, cook ing and ventilation have not been nog lectcd by the Russians ; their armies ar better fed, and thc unlimited floggin which once pervniled is virtually abol ished. Their devotion to the Emperor i unlimited, and has as much of thc ficrc enthusiasm of tho fanatic in it as tho di votion of the Turks to the prophet. IN one can claim, however, that Russia equal as a military power to German; If Germany had declared war again Turkey when tho Czar did her legioi would be now in Constantinople. - A fire occurred in the Taylor Ire Works in Charleston on Thursday, 2t inst., which resulted in a heavy lo. though tho buildings v.ere only partial destroyed.
