So r returned and said in mine
heart, this also is a sore evil. and the
great yexation of our age, that there
is so little Judgment, reason, orsreii-
gion exercised in the education OF
children. The little master. for
breaking a pane OF glass. letting fall
teascup, or ignoraotly destroying
a fayoriie tree or flower, Is. in a mo-
ment Of rage, beaten without mercy;
while at the same time, perhaps, he
is permitted, with scarcely rebuke,
TO indulge anger, malice and revenge
towards his little brothers and sisters:
to deceive and prevaricate; to rob
his neighbours orchards and gardens;
and make use of the most uncivil,
obscene andprofane language. The
truth is this, they treat their children
like dog, for accidentally destroy
ing few pence of their property,
while they let pass unnoticed the far
more destructive and perDiCious evils
of the heart.

RINGS AND SEALS-By T. MOORE.
.sf,oi, said the angry weeping maid,
.Tbe charm is bFokeni Once betrayed,
: Ob.snever can my heart rely
On word or look, on oath orsigh.
Take back the gifts so sweetly given,
With promis'd faith and vows to heaven;
That little ring, which night and morn,
With welded truth, my hands hath worn;
That seal, which oft IN moments blest
Thou hast upon my lips imprest,
And sworn is dewy springs should be
A fountain seal d for only thee
Take, take them back. the gift and vow:
Allsullied, lost and hateful now" q
! took the ring, the seal took,
While, oh! her every tear and look
Were such as angels look and shed,
When man is by the world misled!
Gently whispered, ssFanny, dear!
Not half thy lovers gifts are here:
Say, where are all the gifts he gave
80 every ringlet's lefty wave, !
And where Is every one he printed,
Upon that lip, SO ruby tinted!
Seals of the purest gem of bliss,
On. richer, softer, far than this!
And then the ring, my love! recall
How MANY rings, delicious all,
Ills arms around the neck has twisted,
Twining warmer farthan this did!
Where are thew all, so sweet so manys
Oh! dearestl give back all if any!'
While thus | murnlur'd, trembling too,
Lest ali the nymph had vow'd was true;
lsaw smile relenting rise
Mid the moist azure Of her eyes, ~
Like day light DER sea of blue,
while yet the air is dim with dewl
She let her cheek repose on mine,
She let nay arms around her Irvine
Oh! who could tell the bliss one feels,

MISCELLANY.


Passing the House OF neighbor,
in one of my evening excursions, /
heard great noise aud tumult; and,
seating myself to learn the cause and
issue of the event, soon understood
that some unlucky chap. in Imitation
of his fathers example. had been in
to the garden with his little hoe; but
unfortunately not being able to dis.
singuish noxious weeds from useful
plants, had unwittingIy destroyed
one or two yines-a mighty offence,
considering the unpromising appear
ance of the season. Strict inquiry
was now made to discover the rogue;
but all denied the deed, till little
boy, about four years Of age, limo.

of the art of discrimination, came for
ward and owned the fact. Noble
boy, said | to myself. your harmless
Intentions and free confession will
surely not only screen you from pun
ishment, but entitle you to common.
dalton. But what was my surprise,
when the mother. void of all human
ity: void Of those peculiar traits so
becoming in the female character;
void even of maternal affection; with
the mad fury of a demon, few to the
helpless child, and beat him most
numerically; at the same time &C
companying every blow with such
threats aud imprecatioDs as almost
chilled my blood to hear.
Blind and misguided parents, said
I, little do you consider how much
evil you have done without effectjng
any good.--it will readily be grant
ed, by every candid person, that no
real good can be expected to result
from so improper manner of Corr
recting. am far from believing that
a child treated in this manner will
be deferred from committing even
that which il knows to be wrong,
whenever he has any temptations for
SO doing. But the evils resulting
from so ill-timed and improper chas-
tisement are numerous.
LIST. 1t confounds in the minds of
children the ideas of right and wrong,
and the difference between accidental
and intended mischief.
cd. They are taught, by the exam.
pie of parents, to f1y into passion
at every trifling occurrence which is
not agreeable TO their testy bumors.
They learn to exercise the baneful
passions of malice, revenge and cru.
city. among their playmates.
Sd. They are taught to pay little
or no regard to the Judgment or au-
thority of their parents. They will
not consider their punishment as the
desert of their crimes, but the effects
of hasty and petulent temper in those
who correCtrthem.
/ afterwards understood, that this
adeident happened apon the Sabbath,
but not a word was uttered by the pa
rents, intimating the offence as ag-
gravated by this circumstance--the
child is thereby taught total disre-
gard of the Sabbath, and contempt
for the laws of God. But this is
not all, this child is likewise taught
to lie; a practice too easily. learned
without the aid of an instructor
What willinduce child to confess
that for which he is sure of being pun
ished! | know of no motives which
will prompt Older people to do this,
but a full and practical belief of their
accountability, principle which sell
