THE LITTLE PEOPLE
Delicate Child.—A delicate child is often the most loved of the children. It is a wise ordination of Providence that it should be so ; as a delicate child requires more care, more gentleness, more vigilance, more pity, and consequently more love, and "Pity's akin to love;" or, as Dryden beautifully expresses it— " For pity melts the heart to love." People must eat well and sleep well to feel well ; but for a child to sleep well is far more necessary to his health than even for him to eat well—sleep being more necessary for a child than aught else, or than for everything else beside ! If a child cannot sleep well, a doctor is needed to find out the cause, or something serious will probably happen. If a child lose his appetita a mother may depend upon it that there is something wrong about him that requires immediate investigation—investigation by a skilful medical man.
