some times happens where children form part of the family circle at such times what force and truth appears in the old-fashioned rhymed percept for boys and girls which runs thus or nearly thus : — come when you're called do what you're bid : shut the door after you and you'll never be chid how many reprimands how much vexa tion might be saved if everybody servants and grown people as well as children would or conld remember to shut the door after them !" yet why should it be so difficult a duty to perform ? why not remember to shut the closet-door or the room-door as well as the street-door ? above all why if we are often admonished of our neglect do we feel so much tempted to slam in stead of shutting the offending door ? the carolina coast the efforts which senator hansom
