BO NOT PLAY "WITH 11 AKIES ! Especially with those whose mothers are " nervous creatures," and whose fathers are wide-awake, go-aheadative, steamenginish men. Young America has too many nerves already, and too high strung at that too ready to vibrate at a touch. Do not play upon them. Let him be quiet. For the first three or four months of his mortal life let him be bandied and cared for, as far as practicable, by one quiet person, and after that let him not be caught up and tossed up and tickled and cackled at by every one who comes along. Keep him quiet. f grandma, or aunty, or " bubby" wants to enjoy the baby, let them approach him carefully, rever ently, snug him up gently, talk to him soothingly and sensibly, and have a good time with him without setting him all on springs and making a fool Oi him. After he is able to talk, do not say smart things to him and teach him to make pert replies; and when old enough to be sensitive to rerr.aks, do not say of hinij in his presence, as though he had no sensibility, " What a little man !'' " lie looks like his mother!'' u How he lias grown ta!!!" Leave him to his simplicity and un consciousness. He will wake up out of them soon enough without. If the family to which lie belongs is busy and bustling, keep him out of the way of it as much as possible. Lead him in the "green pastures," and by the "still waters." Ten chances to one, the sensitive nervous System in him greatly predominates over the organic. His hi ad his front head particularly is too large, his stomach too small, his fingers loo sharp. Study to change this condition and work away at him till the predomi nance is the other way, or until there is developed in him a "rreater capacity for living a bug Iire,than for dying an early death. . Very few persons understand the art of conversation. It l east enough to gossip abrut one's neigh bors ; but to give real pleasure, and yet avoid all causes of offense, is a gift which few possess. In convers sation one should express his thoughts naturally, with oper.neS3 and sim plicity. Egotism should be repressed as far as possible, for it is only very dear friends who care especially about any personalities. Greek and Latin quotations are sefdom in good taste; nor is it any improvement' to use French terms when English ones convey the meaning equally well. An opinion may be expressed in a digni fied, yet concilitory manner. Some persons never seem td be able to dif fer from another without putting themselves immediately in a com bative altitude; and falling at once into a wordy assaiilt. If they can not find some one to oppose them actually, they will imagine the op position, and carry on the contest without any other help than a listen er gives. Sarcasm should be rarely used ; and the good old rule " speak evil of no one' is an excellent one. In general it is much safer, in a miied company especially, to talk of things than cf persons. It is never in good taste lo mouopolizs the conversation indeed, it is almost as much of an art to be a good listener as to be a good talker. It is a beautiful saying of some body that gratitudo is the music of the heart, when Us chords ore swept by the gentle breeze of kindness. Many hearts, however, might as well be strung with hay rope, for all the music of gratitude that ever comes from them.

TAILOItS. i Look at the insect tailors at their operations of cutting out, sewing, and making coats .of many colors. A sailor would find it no easy process to cut for himself a suit of clothes otlt of a set sail, holding the while only by the portion that he was cutting, j Yet this, is an operation performed every day by the tent-making cater pillars. These creatures, are so mi nute that it requires close observa tion to discover them, even with their habitations on their backs. The tents are from, a quarter of an inch j to an inch in length, . and usually about the breadth of an oat straw. They are composed of a piece of leaf, artfully separated from the upper layer, as a person might separate one of the leaves of paper from a sheet of j pasteboard. The caterpillar, gnaw ing a hole through one of the two outer membranes of the leaf, eats j away tho pulp between the mem branes, leaving the latter white and transparent. These, as Reaumur has remarked, are in fact to the insect like a piece of cloth in the hands of a tailor ; and no tailor could cut out a shape with more neatness and dex terity than this little workman docs. As the caterpillar is furnished in its j mandibles with ah excellent pair of scissors, this may not appear to be a J difficult task ; yet, when we examine i the matter more minutely, we find that the peculiar shape of the two ex tremities rcqniresdifTcrent curvatures, j and this, of course, renders the op j eration no less complex than the shaping of of the pieces of cloth for a ! coat. Reaumur one day surprised a caterpillar in the act of making its garment, h had thought to let the ready-joined edge of the membranes serve for one side of it; but the nat uralist cut off" the indentations of the leaf, and loosened the membranes along that line. At once the little tailor sewed the two edges together, and then proceeded to its subsequent operations. The clothes moth cater pillar, like man himself, is born with out clothing, and its first care is to provide itself -ith a domicile. When it increases in length it takes care to add to the length of its house by working in fresh hairs at either end, and if it be shifted to stuffs of differ ent colors, it may be made to con struct it parti-colored tissue like a Scoclh plaid. TRAPPERS. The inventor of lobster pots is not known, they say, and history has likewise failed to record the name of the man who first made wire mouse traps with conical entrances into which the mice can squeeze them selves, but exit from which is im possible. But though the principle had not been applied to lobsters or mice, it was in existence ages upon aces ago. ietore Human emperors had been invented, and very probably long before mankind had been placed on our earth, the caterpiller of the emperor moth wove its wondrous cell, and thereby became the silent teacher to the cunning race of man kind how to make mouse traps and lobster-pots. The cocoon spun by the emperor moth is in the form of a Florence fl tshi and of strong silk so thickly woven that it appears almost like damask or leather. It differs from most other other cocoons in not being closed at tho upper or smaller end, which terminates in a narrow circular aperture formed by the con vergence of little bundles of silk gum med together, aud almost as elastic as whalebone. In consequence of all these terminating in needle-shaped points, the entrance of depredators is guarded against while the mothj when it comes to perfection, can easily walk out of the cocoon. The elastic silk gives way ( upon being pushed from within, and when the insect is fairly out it shuts again of its own accord, like a door with spring hinges a circumstance which at first puzzled Roesel not a little when he saw a fine large moth in his box, and the cocoon apparently in the same state as w hen he put it in there. Now any observant member of the human race who had been medi tating upon traps, and happened in a contemplative mood to open one of these cocoons, would feel a new light break in upon him, and, Archimedes like, would exclaim "Eureka!" or its equivalent, "1 have found my trap 1" Reverse the process, moke the converoinjj threads to lead into DO instead of out of the trap, and the thin" s done. ' I will make it cf wire, put it on my shelf, and I catch mice ar.d rats. I will make it of osier, sink it to the bottom of the sea, and f catch lobsters and crabs. I will lay it ia a rapid, and I catch roach and date. -1 will place it under the river-banks, and then I have crayfish." The cocoon of the hawthorn saw fly, exposed With its Occcpant all through the. winter Kpon leafless hedges, is composed of a material tough as leather, but much harder. When the perfect fly wishes to make its exiL) it cuts a. singular trap doon neVer failing, in its circular excision to leave entire just such a portion as serves for an attachment and a hinge. Iteanmur placed the pupte of va rious species of insects in the ex hausted receiver of an air puSfn and at every fresh stroke of the piston their bodies both bulged out and be came elongated ; because, a3 he in ferred, the envelope is not previous to the air contained in the body,- and the spiracles do not allow of its es cape with sufficient rapidity to keep pace with the exhaustion of the re ceiver. Upon examining the Struc ture of the spiracles he further dis covered that their mouths are furnish ed with ciliary valves, which are shut when the pupa is plunged into water, but opened again when it is taken out This circumstance accounts for the swelling of the body under the ex hausted receiver, fur it may be sups posed the animal would closely shut the valves when it felt the air forcibly extracted from its body. LlCIITXING-PKOOF HOUSE BUILDERS. AH who havo occasion to use metal tefi pots know that pieces of ivory are introduced into the handle as a non-conductor. The principle is of extensive application, and is takeo advantage of in the u-se of blankets on our beds, thatch on cottage roofs flannel next the skin, and the use of fur in cold countries. There is a species of solitary bee (Anlhidium manicatum) which forms the exterior walls of her nest of the wool of pubis scent plants, such as rose champion, the quince, cats' ears, etc.,,impervious to every change of temperature, ap parently awure, long befure Count Rum ford's experiments, what ma terials conduct heat most slowly. The genus "Woman'' has rather a hard time of it nowadays. She is attacked on all sides. llen are ex erting their talents and puzzling their brains to find some new disparage ment to set afloat about hef. A. de clares that " nothing is too extraor dinarv for her vitiated tastes :M 15. says she " is no longer capable ot that myth of past ages, ' love in a coN tage " C. flatters her jn calling her a thing of accident, spoiled in the laking ;'' D. dubs her "a creatur6 of headachy mornings and nights whirled away in hot rooms;" and E; ;tvs things too miserable and dcroa:- alory to repeat. There are precious few in the whole alphabet who arc gallant, and bold, and honest enough to say, as one has : " W e have so much faith in the natural love and appreciation of man for woman that, riotwithstandingall the nonsense they, the men, are writing, we are quite sure that she wiit always occupy the first place in his affections, whether she is strong-minded; or whether she she wears a tag of lace and a rosebud for a bonnet supposing the two to be incompatible.'' -The date of the end of the world is satisfactorily fixed for the year 1SGG by some new light, as follows : There is an ancient prediction, re peated by Nostradamus in his " Cen. turiesj" which says that when St. George shall crucify the Lord, when St. Mark shall raise Hitn and St John shaft assist His ascension, the ecd of the world shall come. In the year 18G6 it will happen that Good 1 riday falls on bt. George's Day, anrj Holy Thursday, or Ascension Day, will be also the feast of St. John the Baptist. The above is according to copy. Perhaps we have been slow to set it before our readers. It has been reported that the Binohamton Inebriate Asvlum was overrun with applications for admis sion from wives of clergymen and professional men, and females geh erally. One of our daily papers states that the Superintendent of this Asylum has written a reply to this report in which he says that such al legations are as far from the truth as anything could be. There has never been a femalu patient admitted to the Asylum. There have been fifteen or twenty applications fur tho ad mission of females during the past year, but most of these were opium cases. . He who receives a good turn should never forget it ; lie who does one should never remember it. A FEW PVN-CEXT O.UEHIES. What class of swine do news paper bores" belong to ?

The Commercial of the 17th tells of a terrible homicide at Mihvaukie on the IGth, from which we quote : " As we go to press, we learn from a gentleman just down from Milwau kie, that Amos Quito was instantly killed by a blow from a man to whom be presented a bill, and threatened to " take it out in his blood." The indignant man, w hose name we could not learn, in a heat of Uncontrollable passion, drew back and struck his op ponent a powerful blew on the left temple. Quito dropped like a bui lock to the ground, and after a few brief struggles, expired. The mur derer then quietly walked away. He claimed that he was justified in com mitting the deed, and expressed no regret for what he had done saving that he had been proVoked beyond fetid ti ranee. The deceased vvas of a numerous family, and his tragic death will be mourned by a large circle of friends. He was rash and impetiiouSj and to this fact owe3 his horrible death. The murderer, at last ac counts, was still at large, no attempt having been made by the authorities to secure his attest." This is not the first tims " ' tt mosquito" was killed near Mihvaukie for presenting his bill; A newly married man took his bride on a tour to Switzerland for the honeyniooo, and when there, induced her to attempt with him the ascent of the high peaks. The lady, who at home had never ascended a hill higher than a church, was much alarmed, and had to be carried by the gtiide, With her eyes blindfolded, so as not to witness the horrors of the passage; The bridegroom walked by her sidej expostulating with her fears. lie spoke in honeymoon whis pers, but the ratification of the air was suca that every word was aud ible.
