DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

The government Of a nation, Of q
Kingdom, of a city, a village, or f.
mily, is predicated pretty mnc!l on the
same basis; an enlarged and extensise
system is required for the nation, which
system decreases in Importance unlil it

nestle concerns, are Che main spring.
to higher departments. and are ever OBJ
iects Of peculiar attention. have lad
frequent occasions 10 complain OF the
want OF attention and system to domcs-
tic concerns generally, but particularly
to the instruction Of children, and the
example Of industry and economy,
which is necessary to be exhibited lo
them to sccure their happiness through
iile.-Some parents think that they &C
quit themselves if they treat thei" Gill
dren tenderly, send them to schocl and
give them icnty 70 cat; but with all
their good intentions, they neglect the
most particular branch OF their duty.

That father villa has no fortune TO

SOUTH AMERICAN SUBJECTS.
" The king to his subjects beyoad the seas.
"SpaNiSa .4meg7cans When, in the year
tGI4, my arrival in the capital of Imperial
Spain was announced, fatality induced the
restoration of certain institutions which long
and confirmed habits had caused us to regard
as superior to others, which, being more an
Gent, were irreconclabIe 10 existing prcju-
dices, and could not be modified in any dis
tinct forms. The unhappy experience OF
six years. and the disgraceful evils which
went on accommodating by those means which
were deemed likely to produce universal
happiness-the general complaints OF The
people inboth hemiSpaeres, and their encr-
sgetic demonstrations, convinced me of the
necessity of returning back TO that line from
which we had incautiously devated; and
seeing that the general wish Of tie nation,
impelled by that principle which had di-tin
guiShed and elevated it on tie great stage OF
the world to that heIght whichit should hold
among other nations, induced me 10 adopt
those sentiments, identifying myself most
sincerely and cordially with them, and eau
sed ne TO adopt, recognize and swear to, &C
corGing to spontaneous proposition, the
Constitution formed III Cadiz by the Gene
raj and Extraordinary Cortes, and proclaim
ed in that city in March, 1879. Nothing
can possibly exceed my satisfaction al the
universal rejoicing which took place and
the real heroic generosity of the people who
are susceptible OF errors but not of crime,
will quickly obliterate The recollection Of
pas, evils. The Spaniards at this day pre-
sent spectacle for admiration TO all Europe,
solemnly pledging themselves to their Con-
st'tutional system, which Justly estimates the
reciprocal duties between the nation and the
throne. A stateso securely poised and found
ed on the most durable basis, on which are

The English nation, still proud OF their

sion it contains has been trampled upon by
the bold ambition oi their rulers, have pub
lished edition after edition OF this instrument
each more spieudid than It's predecessor.-..
