must begin from the earliest infancy, long &
before the dawn of reason, and even an
erior to the evolution of the moral senti-
nent The rule on which it is conducted
IS very simple one, applicable to all class Il
es. 1t is to allow no child the indulgence |
Of an appetite or propensity, other than a
what is required by it's intuitive wants for d
its bodily support and health Nothing I
is to be conceded by the whim or caprice t
of parent to the imaginary wants of c
child; for it must be constantly borne in +
mind that every qualification of every sense E
whether of taste, sight, sound or touch {
is the beginning of desire for its renew
al; and that every renewal gives the prob
ability of the induI gence becoming hab- t
it;-and that habit once formed, even in
childhood, will often remain during the
whole of after life, acquiring strength ev-
cry year, until it sets all laws, both hui
man and divine at defiance. Let parents
who allow their children to sip a little of
this wine, or just taste that cordial or who
WELD to the cries of their little ones for
promiscuous food, or for liberty to sit up
a little later, or TO torment domestic ami
nal, or to strike their nurse, or to raise the
hand against mamma, ponder we'll the
consequences. If they do not, often vain
are the after efforts of instructors: vain the
monitions from the pulpit. Their child
is in danger of growing up drunkard or
a glutton, a self-willed sensualist or pas
sionate and revengeful; prompt to takethe
life of fellow being, or to sacrifice his
own; and all this because the fond parents
were faithless in their trusts. They had
not the frmness to do their duty. They
feared to mortify their child and in so doing
they expose him in after life to be morti-
fed by the worlds scorn; to wander an
unloved, implied thing.--TJournal Of
Health.
Anecdote--A gentleman was, a short time
ago, journeying; and at the breakfast table,
whenever plate Of warm buck-wheat cakes
was brought in, there was much greedy ca
gerness manifested by nearly all at the ia:
bic to get at them. One gentleman, howev
err young clergyman, would not descend
to the manners Of the glutton; but persist
ing in the courtesies of civilized life, would,
when the plate was near him, offer its con-
tents to the gentlemen around him, before
helping himself. The contrast which he
thus exhibited, to the conduct of others at
the table, was so striking, that, when few
days afterwards, the traveller was asked if
he knew of any clergyman he could recon-
mend for parish, he related the anecdote Of
this young clergyman, and said, that though
he knew nothing about him as preacher,
be was sure that he was a gentleman. The
clergyman was Immediately sent for, and
soon was settled in that place. Thus was
! L of,,1~ To~
life, Influenced by this act of gentlemanly
propriety. 1t is always safe to be gentle
man.
