gence and simplicity, There is certainly come point hetween sleeping and waking at which the imellect perfeet. My sleep has hecome so light that 1 can sev nnd hear my little ones thiough the fringe of my eyelids. A sigh, the slight. est stir awakes me. The monster Convolsions seems 1o me for ever squatting "ot the foot of their bheds.

In the moiniog they are awnke with the first chuping of the birds. In truth, their chattering is hardly distinguishable from that of plaintive or Joyous cries, which reach me rather throuzh the heart than the eur. While Nauis is pushing her way towards me with unsteady steps, Armand with the agility of monkey skips up and clasps me round the neck.

If you but knew the manv pleasures we are ealled upon to mvent for these absolute sovercigns, in order to draw off their attention while the sponge passing over their bodies, you wonld be tnightened at the address and skill required to fulfil the glorious duties ofa mother. We must entreat and scold, and promise in short, practice a soit of charlatanty, which of conrse must possess the merit of concealing nsell to Le suc- cessiul. A ehild is a great politiciun, ind, like all politicians mpst be governed his passions.

Happly, they laugh -vvw at every thing 5 if a biush falls, or a prece of soap shps through the fingers, the house rings with thear merry shouts, Fn short, if our trinmphs are dearly purchased, they are at leasttiinmphs But God only the father knows nothing of all this God, and you and the angels alone ean comprehend the looks that 1 exchange with Mary when our work done, when we see the ntle angels stand- mg clean in the midst of SOADS, Sponges, flannels, und the thousand details of a real wnrsery. 1 have become quite an Fnghish woman upon this poit. The women of that country certainly have gemus for nursing. Though they look only 1o the material and physical well being of the child, still there is much good sense their NUTSCry arrangements, Fadopt then custom of putting flannel on my feet, and leaving their legs shall never be swathed or confined with tight bandages this is a French invention 1o allow more liherty to the nurse that she may leave the children 1o themselves. A true mother not for a moment free.

You may then, why Ido not write to you as I once did, having now on my shoulders, i addition 10 my domestic administration the eare of two children. The seience of the mother consists of stlent merits without pretension or parade Wt as a virtne in detail it isa devotion at all hours. She must wateh every hittle sauce pan before the fire. And you, know am not one 1o avoid a single trouble 5 even from the slighest we may gather something 1o the stock of our atfections. it is so delightiul 1o see the smile of a child when its litte palate gratified, A toss of head, on such oeeasions, is worth a whole hife of happiness.

How could give up to any other woman the right, the trouble, the pleasure of blowing upon a spoonful of soup that Nais finds too hot for her Whenever a nurse has a child to bhurn his tongne or lips, she is sure to tell the mother that the chald cries be- vause hungry. Bui, mdependent of this, how can a mother sleepin peace when she knows that her child has been swallowing something blown upon, perhaps, by an impure breath maother, to, whom nature has given no intermedial contrivance between her own bosom and the lips of her nurshing 1o cot up for Nuis, who is just getting her last teeth, a piece of mcely eonked cutlet, and to mix properly with well hoiled potatoes, 15 a work of patience and, after all, 1o vertain cases, none but a mother can know how 1o coax a fretful child to eat its proper nllowance. I had a house full of domestics, and the best nurse in England, would not be induced to relinquish my personal attention to the little chagrins it vexntions of the children, whicls are wihiy obe met and combatted with goniewese.
