PHILADELPHIA, July 21.
A melancholy accident happened in this city a few days ago. A brother and sister were looking out of a window, two stories high. The boy was between three and four years of age, and the girl a few years older. While looking out the window, some petty difference arose; the thoughtless, passionate little girl picked up her young brother's legs, and turned him out of the window. He was alive when we heard of him last, but no hope was entertained of his recovery. Let children be learned not to indulge in passion, lest it betray them to guilt.
