The infant in question immediately took hold of my hand, and said, "We shall never see you any more, you must come home with me." I replied, "What do you want me to go home for ?" The child answered, "I have nothing to give you, but if you will come home mother will give you some tea." I patted the child on the head, telling it I could not go.

The child went home, as I thought, and I remained some time talking to one of the ladies of the committee.

On walking down the street I saw the same child crying bitterly, and surrounded by many other children.

On inquiring the cause, I received for answer, "_You would not come home to tea_." If only one half the invitations that are given amongst _men_ were given with as much sincerity and disinterestedness as was manifested by this _infant_, I am much mistaken if we should not see a very different state of _society_.
"Moral education," writes Mr.Simpson in his "Philosophy of Education," "embraces both the animal and moral impulses.

It regulates the former, and strengthens the latter, whenever gluttony, indelicacy, violence, cruelty, greediness, cowardice, pride, insolence, vanity, or any mode of selfishness shew themselves in the individual under training, one and all must be repressed with the most watchful solicitude, and the most skilful treatment.
