Stone but those who have had a
good deal of experience with ahil-
dra, can have any idea of their
wonderful inventive powers, and
when left to their own resources for
amusement there is almost no limit
to their contrivances. Give the
little folks, where it is possible, a
room to theifiselvcs, aud leave them
to their own resources. Suppose
they do reduce your dining-room to
ntter confusion, you can re-arrange
it in fifteen minutes, and you have
saved two hours by the operation.
I know of a family where two little
boys of five and seven amused them
selves from daylight till dusk, with
only a short interval for lessons and
meals. They hare few playthings,
a bqx of boildfug blocks, an old
eiothes-liue, a pair of scissors, a car
pet hammer, and paper of tacks, aud
a box where all the bright bits of
paper that como into tho bouse are
deposited. This is pretty much all;
but an a rainy or cold day, they take
poaseaaioaof the dining room and in
vent an unceasing round of amuse
meat. Suppose we peep in at them.
They have been very busy for an
boor, aud very quiet, only the coo
atant clutter of their merry voices
and now and then an cxclainatiuu.

wanted to v ruu for the broom, but
