less than 20 others-and no pains should
be spared 20 check its growth Wilde the
mind is yet tender. This application
from my wife led me to give the sub
iject 4 close examination; beg leave
To present some OF tho conclusions at
which arrived.
One important point is, to teach
children TO call each other by The sweet
name of brother or sister.
Triiling a. IT may appear TO some, it
will be found to have powerful effect
in endearing them 10 each other. There
is halion ed association about these
words, that will influence the inter
course even of children. Try il, my
friends. and you will find there will be
fewer quarrels than if the common
given names were used. The little one
will be often silenccd By his conscience.
when he finds 10 an unkind sentcnco
the tender appellation-BRoTHER. is
to be attached. think close obscr-
yer Of human nature will sec the PHI
losophy of this position.
Another point is, TO have il under
stood. that all differences will be settled
by n mutual reference 20 one OF both
of the parents. This course will heal
many n fostering wound among chill
} dren-and where kind and obvious
~ reasonable judgment is passed, IL
will have an important effect in teach
ing them the principles and application
Of justice.
Again: lead them TO comprehend
how noble it is for the offender u ac
knowledge his wrong, and for the often
ded to forgive. Take each parry alono
, with you, and impress the sentiment
! with tenderness and perSpicuity. Be
present when they "meke up" as it
Is calicd-and cvince by a hearing and
expression Of your feelings. your de-
, cided approval of the course. Tho
effects Of such q practice will be fait
upon all the sfler life Of the child, and
greatly tend TO prepare the individual
to fall ingenuously in with the claims
OF God.
In connexion with this. the example
Of parents is Of the highest importance.
Father! as you regard the disposition
|. Of your children, be careful OF your
own. You may come in from the cares
Of tho world fatigued and toil-wom-
; disappointment in business may press
sore upon your hear-but strive. when
you enter within the family circle, To
