order or system, in nature, all creation would be one

But this principle exists nature and this faculty in

Its primary Office seems to be, to keep ones DUN

straight, will most assuredly fail land that farmer who
keeps his fences up, and all his farming utensils in

John says; where's the chain ,orI don't know where
the yoke is, that is if John does know, without
looking, where to find the chain, yoke hoe,

farmer will get behind if not fail. But if John knows
at once, just where to find whatever he wants to use,
that farmer will prosper for this order facilitates dis

And then again, how much more agreeably and

just where to find every thing he wishes, and always
returns it its place when he has done using it. Dis
order spoils the temper well prevents success in
business. Parents that you train your children in

GO thou and do lkewise;' and teach these things to

| This organ, combining with Time produces regu-
ary in all the habits of its possessor, lays out the
time beforehand, giving SO many hours daily to GER
tain things, having meals punctualy retiring and ri
sing at given periods; and being regular in all the
habits and affairs of life. Nothing is promo
tive of health, and life, and happiness, well of
peace and prosperity. Mothers should begin to incul
cate this in the cradle. Put your children bed at
| given hour-waken them at fixed period, and
| they will soon awaken themselves; give them their
breakfast, or piece, nurse them at stated times;
have them take their maps regularly at certain hours of
the day, and have time for everything land every
thing in its time This course will save you vast
amount Of time and trouble; be of incaculable add
vantage to them physically and mentally besides form
ing in them habit Of method in everything; and save
them great deal of peevishness and bad temper
The power of habit is great indeed; far greater than
is even attributed to it. Sc habit, indifferent In ITSELF
may be followed SO regularly, las to become really use

tual advancement of its possessor To every parent
and teacher then, say, form habits; but form g00d
ones. in your children Do not these remarks COM
mend themselves to every parent and teacher as I'M
mensely important, and deserving Of being put INTO
