Want of Decision.-Perhaps in no way
mothers more cfectually destroy their in
fluence with their children, and injurc them
than from ncglecting to practice decision.
The following little fact will illustrate the
pcrnicious influences of this course Of con-
duct.
A little girl remarked a short time since,
that beaver hats were quite fashionable, and
that she would have one. "llave You for
COTTON" said |, "that your mother yesterday
remarked that the one you wore last winter
is still quite neat, and that she did not intend
to encourage extravaganza and love of
fashion in her little girlp' "Ah! we'll" re.

said that sister Susan should not go to Miss
WIS party the other evening, because she
was afraid there would be dancing there
but when sister cried and made Il fuss,
mother consented to let her 90, and bought
her a new pair Of gloves and pretty blue

sometimes, at least, settle questions upon
| his sole authority, without attempting to rea-
son Nth the child. You have just tried the
effect ofreasoning with your little daughter,
and you have obviously failed. Instead of
gaining, you have lost ground. As a pa.
rent, your influence is less with that child
than it was haitian hour since. have known
similar instances. The policy think iniu-
dicious; the object aimed at is defeated; the
good ofthe child is jeopardized, if not lost.
Parents should act, in all cases, with reason;
but they are not bound to disclose those
reasons. This is principle of the Divine
government. The Christian is bound to
obey God, uponhis simple command, whcth-
er he understands the reason Of the requsl-
sition or not; so the child st3ud bow to the
authority of the parent, though he may not
comprehend the proprcty or Justice of the
command. This is right. Godhas confded
this authority to parents. 1t is their duty
not to abuse it; they may not act arbitrarily
not provoke their children to wrath,-
but exercise Judgment, having regard to the
best good ofthe child. But when the pa
rent, in the government ofhis child, proceeds
upon the plan of explaining every point, he
will not unfrequentiy weaken his authority;
for it will ofcn happen that the child can
not appreciate the reasons which actuate
him, and, ifhe does not, it were better that
the attempt at equalization had not heen
made"
Such were the views of this venerable
father, in relation to parental government.
More might be added from the same source;
but the article having been already extend
ed beyond what was contemplated, the COM
per will conclude with simply requesting
parents, who may chance to perusc these
pages, to apply in practice, if they deem
them wise and scriptura, doctrines which
were held "a hundred years ago"

Industry.-It has been said with truth,
that man must have occupation or be mis-
cradle. Toll is the price ofsleep and appe-
tite-of health and enjoyment. The very
necessity which hovercomes ournaural sloth,
is a blessing. The whole word does not
contain a bricr or a thorn which divine ner.
cy could have spared. We arc happier
with the stcriIity, which we can overcome
by industry, than we could have been with
spontaneous plenty, unboundcd profusion.
The body and the mind are improved by
the toll that fatigucs them. The toll is a
thousand times rewarded by the pleasure
which it bestows. Its cnioyments are pc.
culiar. No wealth can purchase them.-
Tney flow only from the excrtions which
they repay.
