o, yes-let them talk, these little ones ; and if it hs that your nerves cannot endure the elatler, send them elsewhere or go yours self--:or young children mast talk. II is not siddiness, folly, nonsense in them. They talk because they cannot help talking. V wauld be almost as harsh as 10 eudcavor to stop their breath, to insist upon it that their tongues shall remain still. Nature de> mands it as a right on their part that they shall be suffered to rattle on freely. It is exercise, and affords healthful tone and COS Tor to the blood, and besides, # forms also portion of the mental process. This much talking, which frets the ear and tries the temper of persons further advanGed in life, is the result of necessity which eompelS the child to think aloud. It thinks in spo> ken words; and is to learn in after periods 10 do it's thinking silently. We should res member then, that 10 check it's speech, is to interfere with the action Of its brain, and lhal it is not only severe but actually cruel 10 insist that it is not 10 speak uAless spoken 10.

The resllessness of childhood arises from a nervous energy, the superauit, of which mus. be expended; and it is no to be looked upon as a favorable sign wheI l the child seems of own accord to fall in to the habit of quietude. Let tbe youn! things have their full way somewhere; i not round and about your dignity, provld the place and letter not their minds ant their bodies.-NearS Castle,
