MANAGEMENT OF CHILDREN.

In reflection upon the subject, have
been impressed with the idea, that
there is room for improvement in the
management and government OF chill
dren. To assist parents in this desirable
object, friend to good and wholesome
government would wish to give few
simple rules, which, if followed, cannot
fail to have the effect suggested:
Hone parent has refused child a play.
thing, sugar.plum, or any thing else, let
the other be sure to interfere, and say,
poor thing, it wants it, and ought to be
gratied."
1t a child be stubborn or wilful, and
need chsstisement, and one parent at
Temps to inHict it, let the other by all
means interfere, with, "poor thing, it
sba'nt be bang'd to DEATH" In short,
let parents never agree in what is best to
be done, and the child will soon know
what is Whist, and DO fitted for many
things.
IL child offend, either by breaking q
plate, or any other way, never stop to
reflect, lest your temper should cool,
box its ears with smart blow. A pow.
erfuI thump on the head has wonderful
influence upon the faculties.
II child beg for thing which has
been two or three times refused, and a
length sets to crying-relent, and let j
have the thing cried for, by all means
il will learn it perseverance,.
As your daughters grow up, let them
run from home in the evening, without
knowing with whom Or where; ior why

should parents be too particular This
indu lgence will fit them for several
things.
a good deal Of whipping is by all
means recommended it makes children
hardy, and little shameless, and general
ly compels them to lie; but this will tit
them for the buffelting of life.
Follow these rules, and my words for
it, children will never break their pa
rents hearts, for parents who have hearts
to be broken will never follow them.

RESTORATION OF ISRAEL.
Mountains of Israel rear on high
Your SUBMITS, crown'd with verdure new,
And spread your branches to the sky,
Retulgent with celestial dew:
Ger Jordon's stream of gentle flow,
And Judah's peaceful valley smile,
And far reflects the lovely glow
Where oceans waves incessant toll.
See where the scattered tribes return;
Their slavery is burst at length,
And purer flames to Jesus burn,
And Zion girds on her new strength:
New cities bloom along the plain,
New temples to Jehovah rise,
The kindng voice of praise again
Pours its sweet anthem to the skies.
The fruitful fields again are blest,
And yellow harvest smiles around;
Swee, scenes of heavenly joy and rest,
Where peace and innocence are found:
The bloody sacrifice no more
Shall smoke upon the affairs high
But ardent hearts from hill to shore
Send grateful incense to the sky!
The Jubilee of man is near,
When earth as heaven shall own his reign
He comes to wipe the mourner's tear,
And cleanse the heart from sin and pain.
Praise him, ye tribes of Israel Praise
The king who ransom'd you from woe;
Nations the Hymn of triumph raise,
And bid the song of rapture flow.

4 MOTHERS GRIEF.
TO mark the suferings of the babe
That cannot speak its woe;
To see the infant tears gush forth,
Yet know not why they flow;
To meet the meek uplifted eye,
That fain would ask relief,
Yet can but tell of agony
TH,s is a mothers grief.
Thro' dreary days and darker nights,
To trace the march of death;
To hear the faint and frequent sigh,
The quick and shortened breath;
To watch the last dread strife draw near,
And pray that struggle brief.
Though allis ended with its close
THIS is mothers grief.
To see. in one short hour, decayed
The hope Of future years;
To feel how vain fathers prayers,
How vain mothers tears;
To think the cold grave now must close
Der what was once, the chief
OF all the treasured joys of earth
THIs is a mothers grief!
Yet when the first wild throb is past
Of anguish and despair,
To lift the eye of faith to heaven,
And think, "ny child is there"
THIS best can dry the gushing tears,
THIS yields the heart relief;
Until the Christians p,ous hope
O'ercomes mothers grief!

it appeared, for conhict.-Tom took d

PROPOSALS,
For publishing at Kaskaskia, Illinois,
WEEKLY NEwsPAPER,
To be called the
WESTERN PALLADIUM
BYT. J. v. OWEN & II. X. FLEMING.

Having purchased the establishment of the
Kaskaskia Republican," formerly conducted
by William Orr, Esq. We beg leave to inform
the public that we propose to issue weekly
paper under the above title, on the first of
April next, or sooner, if practicable, should our
fellow citizens feel disposed to patronlze us.
In presenting the public with tiis prospec-
tus, it may be well to give them brief outline
OF the manner in which we propose it shall be
conducted.
1t is superhuous to state, that the principles
which shall ever guide us in the performance
of our duties will be republican. The party
with which we acknowledge ourselves con-
nected, and for whose interests we hereby
pledge ourselves to devote our unremitting
eXertions, is that of the vrtuous and indus
trious citizens of the community. The adj
vancement of the agricultural, mechanic, and
other branches OF domestic industry shall ever
receive our encouragement.
We cannot reflect but with pain at the po-
litical divisions and animosities which have, for
some years past retarded the growth and pros
perity of our state, and which have SO CON-
pletely smOthered those kind and fraternal
sentiments which alone are the pillars and
keystone of our general welfare and happi-
ness.
Unswayed by party feelings, we will be
Jealous in the'promotion Of the interests Of our
own state. and of the Union. Our columns
shall be filed with the latest foreign and do
nestle intelligence. Finally, no exertions shall
be wanting on our part to render our journal
worthy the patronage of the public.
TERMs-The "PALLADIUM," will be printed
on a super-royal sheet, for 50 SO per year in
advance, or IS 50 if not paid within four
months. Advertisements will be inserted on
the usual terms.
The Palladium will be transmitted to those
who were subscribers to the Republican, I'M
less we are notified to the contrary. Punctu-
al payments are respectfully solicited.
