Many persons who nave great adherence
of lying, and whip their children if they
detect them in it, yet make no scruple Of
telling and acting TO them the most atroc-
ious talsehoods. There are few parents
who do not do this in greater or less de-
gree, though doubtless without dreaming
they are guilty Of criminal. deception.
With many, the whole business OF manag-
ing their children is piece of mere arti-
fee and trick. They are cheated in their
amusements, cheated in their food, cheat
ed in their dress. Lies are told them to
get them to do any thing which is disa-
greeable. Ifa child is to take physic the
mother tells him she, has something good
for him to drink; if recusant she will send
for the doctor to cut off his ears or pull his
teeth, or that she will 60 away and leave
him, and thousand things ofthe same kind,
each of which may deceive once and an
swer the present purpose, but will invaria-
bly, fail afterwards.
Parents are too apt to endeavor to paci-
fy their children by making promises
which they never intend to perform. II
they wish for instance, to take ava, some
eatable, which they fear will be injurious,
they reconcile them by the premise Of a
ride or walk or something else which
will please them, but without any inten-
tion Of gratifying them. This is lying
downright. People think nothing ofbreak
ing their promises to children; if the per-
formance be not perfectly convenient
But they are the last persons to whom
promises should be broken, because they
cannot comprehend the reason, if there be
one, why they are not kept. Such prom
'ises should be- scrupulously redeemed
though .at great inconvenience, and ev-
en- when inadvertently made. For the
child's moral habit is of infinitely more
consequence than such an Inconvenience
can be to parent. z
We have only noticed few Of the cas-
ca Of lying to children, but enough to illus
trate the frequency Of it. And yet, after
having pursued course of deception for
the two or three first years of life, if the
parent then finds his child is trying to de-
ceive him, and will tell downright lie,
he wonders how he should have learnt to
do so, for he always "taught' him to
speak the truth; not rejecting that he has
been lying to him from his very birth. So
he attributes those habits to an innate dis
position and tendency to fslsehood, which
he has himself been fostering and nourish-
ing from the first.

There seems to be an extensive split
of unessiness and fermentation on the

Dances had arisen among the mechanics
and working men, particularly in Parts,
where war had been proclaimed by the dis

however, that they had been quslled.

tend to be guided by the principles of re-
