PARENTAL FALSEHOODS.

A writer in tho Literary Gszstie in noticing
Mrs. Opie's IllUs!rsti.rs al Lyrs " has the fol-
lowing remarks, which We recommend to The atten-
tion Of parents -
Thete is one class Of lies. which are little
surprised did not airact . larger share Of Mrs.
Opies attention; lies told by parentst 10 their chill
dren. We believe that the slight regard in which
strict truth is held among mankind. is principally
owing to the lies which arc told 10 children BY their
parents during the lew FIRST years OF their lives
hen is the time that permanent impressions :aay
re as well made as any later period. 1t is them
probably, that what is called the natural propensity
OF child is unfoIced. Many persons rho haze
great abhorrencs Of lying, and Whip their children
they detect them in 1t. yet make no scrupfe of tel
iing and acting to them the most atrocious false
hoods. There ave few parents who do not do this
in greater lesser degree, though doubtless with
out dreaming they are guilty of criminal deception.
With many the whole business OF managing their
children is piece OF mere ar6ce and trick. They
are cheated in their amusements, cheated 10 their
ood, cheated in their dress Lies are told them 10
get them to do any thing which is disagreeable. II
a child is to axe physc, the mother tells him she
has something good for him to drink; if recusan,,
she says she will send for the doctor to cut off his
ears or pull his teeth, that she will go away snd
leave him, and thousand things OF the same kind,
each Of which may deceive once and answer the
present purpose, but will invariably fail afterwards.
Parents are too apt to endeavor to pacify their
children BY making promises that they never intend
to perform. II they wish, for instance to take away
some ea,abe which they fear will be injurious, they
reconcile them by the promise of ride. or walk,
or something else which will please them, but with
OUT any intention OF gratifying them.
This is lying. downright lying. People think
nothing of breaking their promises to children, ii
the performance be not perfectly convenient But
they are the las, persons to whom promises should
be broken, because they cannet comprehend the
reason, if there be one, why they are not kept.
Such promises should be scrupulously redeemed,
though at q great Inconvenience, and even when in
adver,en,ly made. For The chiid's moral habit is
of infinitely more consequence than such an incon
venience can be TO parent.
We have only noticed few Of The eases Of lying

Professor Carter, 10 one of his las, letters from

Discoverer Of America, in the following terms -
/ 4" A full day was occupied in an excursion 10 Co
coletto, the reputed birthplace Of Christopher Co
lumbus. Although much obscurity still hangs over
the cradle OF this great man, yet the American
| eer in particular, will feel a satisfaction in visiting
spot which tradition has associated with The Dis.

inclination at present to enter into dlsquistion
upon the contradictory authorities in relation this
subject nor to balance the conflicting claims Of ri
val places TO the nativity of the adventurous nsvga.

in the hands Of Washington Irving at Madrid, who
perhaps may throw some new light upon the early
years OF its author.
The village Of Cccoleto is situated al the head Of
the Gulf about fifteen miles from Genoa. on the
road towards Savona. On arriving at the little no
tel, inquiry made for the house OF Christopher
Columbus; and some hall dozen villagers who
seemed to exu in the name, led the way to the
sque and humble mansion. 1t stands upon the sea
shore, cled by the Alps and looking south upon
a waste Of waters.
II the grandeur Of ofnatural scenery can inspire ge
MUS, and awaken young thought to noble pursuits,
Cocole.lo may hence draw argument TO strength
her claim. and in this particular at least challenge
| competition. The low, arched ceilings aud decay
ed walls bear all the marks OF great age; but one
can hardly bring himself to the belief, that they
have stood between thtee and four centuries. A
small chamber, perhaps len feet square, is shown,
in which it is pretended Columbus was born Ma

Of it. And yet, after having pursued = course Of
deception for the two three frst years Of life, il
the parent then finds his child is trying 10 deceive
him, and will tell downright lie, he wonders how
he should have learned to do so, for he has always
taught him to speak the truth without rejecting
that he has been lying to him from his very birth.
So he attributes that habit to an innate disposition
and tendency for falsehood, which he has himself
been fostering and nourshing from the frat.
