short time since, where it was freely discussed

o God, preserve my mother dear
In health and strength for many year
And. o preserve my father too,
And may pay him reverence ne
And may my best thoughts employ
To be my parents hope and joy!

From evil doings and from sloth
And may we always love each other
Our friends, our father, and our mother,
And still, o Lord to me impart
An innocent and grateful heart,
Till after my mat sleep may

DUTIES OF PARENTS.

~ Is at times necessary to censure and 10 pun
ish but very much may be done by encouraging
children when they do well. Be ever more care
ful to express your appreciation Of good conduct
than dis,aprobation of bad. Nothing can more
discourage child than spirit OF ncessant fault
''rding on the part of its parents. And hardly any
thing can exert a more injurious influence upon the
disposition both of the parent and of the child
There are two great motives influencing human ac-
'ions hope and fear. But who would not prefer
to have her child influenced to good conduct by
the desire of pleasing rather than by fear of offend
ing II mother never expresses her qualification
when her children do well, and is always censurng
when she sees any thing amiss, they discour-
aged and unhappy. They feel thert is no time to
please. Their disposition becomes hardened and
souret by this ceaseess fretng. AT last, finding
shat whether they do we'll or III, they are equally
found fault with, they relinqush all ers to p ease
and become needless of reproaches.
But let a mother approve of child's conduct
whenever she Let her show that his behaviour
makes her sincerely happy. Let her reward him
for his efforts to please by smiles and Affection
In this way she will cherish in her child's heart
some Of the noblest and most desirable feelings of
our nature. She will cultivate in him an amiahe
disposition nnder cheerful spirit Your child has
been, during the day, very pleasant and obedien-
Just before putting him asleep for the night, you
take his hand and say, "My son, You have been a
very good boy to-day. 1t makes very happy to
you kind and obedent. God loves little
promises to make them happy" This appreciation
from his mother IS to him a great reward. And
when, with more than ordinarily atieconate tone,
you say, "Good night my dear son." he leaves the
room with his heart full of feeling, And when h.
closes his eyes for sleep. he is happy, and resolves
that he will always try 10 do his mothers duty
