a month since she catn<' bark to the city, j
and went to the house in Lewis street,
where apartments had been provided for
her by Floor.
She said that Floor never called on her;
but once at the house in Lewis street; that
011 last Tuesday week she called on Floor
at his slaughter-house, and asked him fur
some money, with which to j>a\ li.e house
rent. Floor put her off with >ome short
answer, and gave her a half dollar. Ag-J
grieved ai mis ireauueui, sue ?untu ?v.venge,
ami with the halt' dollar she on
her way home stopped at a drug store in
Olive street, and purchased some arsenic.
On the following Saturday she mixed
the ars enic with a cake, which she baked
and took to Floor at the market. The
rest is known.
The prisoner is about 25 years of age,
and has rather an interesting countenance.
At the conclusion of her examination; she <
expressed a desire to see the Rev. Henry
Chase, by whom she was married to Fjoor.
Her wish in this respect was complied
with; Mr. Chase was sent for, and the'
prisonar was again remanded to her lonesome
cell.
Effect of Habit on the Infant mind.?
"I trust every thing to habit; habit, upon
which all ages, the lawgiver, as will as
the schoolmaster, has mainly placed reliance;
habit, which makes every thing easy
and casts ait difficulties upon the deviation
from the wonted course. Make sobriety
a habit, and intemperance will be
1 J ?i ? l.uKW
ftulciUJ una nam; mawe (iciuuiiitt u ?>.,
and reckless profligacy will be as contrary
to the nature of the child grown an
adult, as the most atr-'Cious crimes are to
any of your lordships. Give a child a
habit of sacredly regarding the truth?of
carefully respecting trie property of others
?of scrupulously abstaining from all acts
of improvidence which can involve him
in distress, and he will just as litde think
of lying or cheating, or stealing, as of
rushing into an element in which he cannot
breathe."
Early formation of Good. Habits.?"If
a child is neglected till six years of age,
no subsequent education can recover it.?
If to this age it is brought up in dissipation
and ignorance, iu ail the baseness of
brutal habits, >.nd in that vacancy of mind
which such habits create, it is in \aiu to
attempt to reclaim it by teaching it reading
and writing. You nut) teach what you
ch-mse afterwards, but if you ha<e not
prevented the formation of bud habits,
you will teach in vain.
" An infill t is in a stale of personal enjoyment
from the intensity of curiosity.?
There is no one thing which it decs not
learn sooner or better than at any other
. I nf I C? *nd u-tihuiii :<nv burden to
o. - itself
or the teacher. But learning is uut
all, nor the principal consideration ? moral
habits arc acquired in these schools, ami
hy their means children are kept out of
the miseries of obscenity, Tulgarily, vice,
and blasphemy, in the establishment at
Westminister, none but children between
three and four years of age are admitted,
and there the)- are kept out of the streets,
and taken care of by a parental, indulgent
dame, which their mothers are set at liberty
to go out and work Whether the
children learn less or more is of little consequence.
The moral discipline is the
great consideration."
