For Vhat is u Mother Responsible 2

A mother is usually also a wife, and has
the management Of family and direct
influence over those within her appropri,
ate sphere. She, in subordinalion of
course TO her head, has the seat of author
ily and yields the sceptre Of government.
From position Of entire dependence she
has risen TO power and rank and though
her throne may be in cottage, and her
dominion the little world of household al
fairs, we, is she no! the less really respon.
sibIe, than is that youthful queen who
now sways n sceptre over the four quar-
tiers of the earth. But for what is she
responsible
She is responsible for the nursing and
rearing of her progeny; for their physi.
cal constitution and their growth; their
exercise and proper sustenance in early
life. A child left to grow up delormed,
bloaed, or meagre, is an object Of mater.
nal negligence.
She is responsible for a child's habits :
including cleanliness, order, conversation,
eating, sleeping, manners, and general
propriety of behavior. A child deficient
or un,aught in these particulars, will
prove living monument, of parental dis.
regard because, generally speaking, {
mother can, if she will, greatly control
children in these matters.
She is responsible for their department
She can make them fearful and erin.
ging she can make them modest or i'm.
pertinent; ingenious or deceitiul mean
or manly; cownish or polite.-The germ
Of all these things is in childhood, and a
mother can rcpross or bring them forth.
She is responsible for the principles
which her children entertain in carly life.
For her il is to say whether those who
90 forth from her iireside shall be imbued
with sentiments Of virtue, truth, honor,
honesty, temperance, industry, benevo.
lence and morality, or those of a contra.
ry character-vice, fraud, drunkenness,
idleness, covetousness. These last, will
be found to be of the most natural growth ;
but on her is devolved the daily, hourly
task Of wedding her little garden-ol Grad
icating these odious productions. and
planting the human heart with the lily ,
the rose and the amaranth, that fadeless
flower, emblem Of truth.
She is, to a very considerable extent,
responsible for The temper and disposition
of her children. Constnuiionally they
may be violent, irritable, or revengeful
but for the regulation or correction o.
these passions a mother is responsible.
She is responsible for the intellectual
requirements Of her children, tina, is, she

The La Grange (rexas) Courier, gives
The following incident, which occurred
near Douglass, NacogdOches county -
A panther came into house in which there
was no person but a young lady and her
brother. The young lady being very
busy attending TO her little household af-
fairs, did not see the panther until he had
got entirely into the house, but so soon as
she discovered him she seized hold of him
and called to her little brother to bring her
the axe.-Afler waiting some time for this
weapon, still holding on to the panther,
the young lady then told her brother to
bring her smoothing iron, with which
she soon succeeded in putting the ntru.

An amusing correspondent of The New York
Tribune, writing from a town in the West, re.
lates the following circumstances -
Speaking of bring, reminds ME of an
anecdo!e related 10 me by professor in
one Of our colleges. Sen, here by the
State for scientific purposes, he took with
him as companion, a younger brother
who had just graduated, and an old hun
ter for guide, cook and provider gene
raj. Leaving one day, clearing in
which some fine peas were growing, they
took along small quantity to give relish
TO dinner some day in the forest. At
length, after hard lorenoon's work thew
pitched their encampmenl one day on the
borders of lake in the heart of the
woods. Come, said the professor. 'let
us have those peas to-day. So. while no
was taking some observations, the old
hunter and the young graduate prepared
the dinner.
After while the professor, said lie no.
tced an unusual chuckling between the
student and the hunter. Suspecling some
trickery, he sauntered, quietly up towards
the fire; casting his eye around, he OBJ
served they were making wooden spoons
with their penknives. All at once it
flashed upon him that they had nothing
but penknivos to eat the peas with. and
that there was conspiracy to rob him of
his share. Saying nothing he walked to
The lake shore, and picking up one of
those large muscle shells, holding more
than an ordinary spoon, he fitted spill,
stick to it for handle, and clapped them
both in his pocket. Then saunlering
back in order TO prevent them making
very extensive preparations, he kept
around until the peas were cooked. His
presence rather INSTRUCTED their design,
and they were able to finish but very
shallow spoons after all. The peas were
at length poured into the common dish,
and 10 it was all soup. To prevent the
possibility of the professors getting
moity, they had cooked them so that the
peas were like Virgil's 'rari nantes in
gweHe uaStO.' Imagine them at length
all seated on the ground around their
food, each stabbing with his penknife at
The peas, which lodged under the surface
at every blow, eluding every effort to
catch them. After this process had been
carried on while, to the Unsurpassed
merriment of the student and the hunter,
they wiped out their wooden spoons and
flourishng them over their heads with a
loud 'hurrah,' made a dive at the peas.
The professor coolly drew forth his huge
muscle shell and stick, and fitting them
together, began TO ladle up the soup.
The hunter and The graduate stopped in
utter amazemcnt, and with their spoons
suspended halfway to their mouths, ga
zed at the quiet professor who, without
ut:ering word or changing feature.
diligently piled his shell. In few mo-
ments every pea had vanish, and the hun
