The widow of Noureddin Ali, who had still continued sitting like a woman moped and weaned from the affairs of this world, no sooner understood by his discourse that her dear son, whom she lamented so bitterly, might still be alive, than she rose, and repeatedly embraced the beautiful lady and her grandchild Agib; and perceiving in the youth the features of Bedreddin, she shed tears very different from those to which she had been so long accustomed.
And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice den. "Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord. "For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
Baby-talk may be "cute" at eighteen months, but when children retain that mode of expression beyond the age of four or five it sounds silly. At about the age of nine or ten months the breast-fed babe should be weaned. Gradual weaning is perhaps the best.
The baby should be weaned at ten months unless he is unwell at the time or the weaning comes in the heat of the summer, when there is danger of his becoming sickly or peevish. Preparatory to weaning, the baby should be accustomed to the bottle. Provided the bottle holds half a pint or four glasses, the number of bottles may be increased from one a day at four months to two or six at eight months.
It might be that the reading matter of a magazine would not be much superior to that of a small weekly paper. But at least it encourages somewhat more sustained reading and, what is the great fact, it accustoms the reader to handling something in the form of a book. That is the virtue. A people weaned from the broad-sheets by magazines readily takes next to book-reading.
She had virtues appropriate to every season, and conspicuous in every situation: in affliction she cannot be reproached with impatience, nor in success with ingratitude. When Samuel was weaned, she took him with her, with three bullocks, an ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, determining to leave him with the priest, for the purpose of being trained up to the service of the tabernacle.
"Live stock!" exclaimed Bart, "I'm sure I've bought nothing!" Then, as light broke in his brain, "Maybe it's that setter pup that Truesdale promised me as soon as it was weaned, which would be about now!" "Would a setter pup come in three crates?" inquired The Man, solemnly. "It must be live plants and not live stock!"
These visits certainly excited much speculation in those to whom they were known, but no comments were made, excepting occasionally in whispers from Richard, who would say: It is not at all remarkable; a half-breed can never be weaned from the savage ways and, for one of his lineage, the boy is much nearer civilization than could, in reason, be expected.
"What five hundred francs?" echoed the mother. "The five hundred francs you promised me," said the nurse. "We have promised you five hundred francs? "Yes." "When the child should be weaned, and if we should be satisfied with you! That was our promise." "No. You said you would give them to me when I was leaving. Now I am leaving, and I want them." Madame Dupont drew herself up, haughtily.
But could a woman hope to have always such a heart, and yet ever be weaned from earth "all this and heaven, too"? Under my picture I have inscribed, "Forasmuch as Christ also hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same mind." This year has been one long sigh, one smothering sob, to me.
