MANAGEMENT OF CHILDREN.

MANAGEMENT OF CHILDREN.
Commence early with your instruction.
mother is capable of teaching her child
obedience, humility, cleanliness, and pro-
prielv, while it is almost an infant: and it
is delightful to think that the FIST instruc-
tons can thus be communicated by so ten
der and natural teacher. Remember that
it is by combining aheciionate tenderness
with frmness in refusing what is improper,
that you secure your children's happiness :;
and if they are early trained to be docile and
obedient, the future task will be compare
lively easy.
Eslncesi~ss W .hs'ssv-eyar, BE alwis re
garded but as the means to an end for all
requirements are useless, unless they make
us better III our relations as parents, chill
dren, husbands, wives, and unless they lead
I us TO the practice of that divine precept of
religion "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as
lhyself.o
Let us suppose, then, that you have Sc
cured the benefits of good education for
your children-that they have attended an
infant and afterwards an adult school-that
! they have been advanced in the different
branches Of instruction, as far as is necessa-
ry for the pursuits in life to which they are
destined are you not called upon, as
parents, to take care of their moral training:
Is there no danger, even after the best pre-
cepts have been impaired, that your children
may risk being corrupted by your own ex-
ample?
If you suppose that your vices can be
hidden from your children, you are greatly
mistaken for the quickness of perception
of children enables them Immediately to see
through such deception If with the words
"Thou shalt not steal," in your mouth, you
nevertheless overreach, Or make use of any
thing not your own, or take undue advan-
tage of others, you are practically teaching
your children to be dishonest. Can you
expect them to have horror Of drum ken
ness, if they ever see you drunk, Or if tip
pling is talked of by you as an object Of
qualification If you encourage your child
by promises to confess fault, and afterwards
punish him for it, do you not practically
discourage his telling the truth? Or, if you
hold that nothing is to be told that can III
/ ure your own interest, and say, "Remem-
Der not to tell" or, |sYou must not say SC
and So" can you expect that your child
will not lie whenever it suits his own ppr-
poses? Ifyou are passionate and intemper-
ate in your language. ovcrbearing or inso-
lent, will not your children be infected by
your example? And are you not crushing
in the bud the truly Christian qualities Of
gen,eness, forbearance and charity?
It has been well said, that drunkenness
expels reason, disiempers the body, inaames
the blood, Impairs the memory, is d thief tc
the purse, beggar's companion, wite's
woe, and children's sorrow" You mus
abstain from this vice altogether if you wish
to train your children up to proper fulfil
ment of their duties, and to secure to then
happiness.

NEW MoDE OF CURING HAMs.-Who is
not an admirer Of hams? At the proper
season no animal food is more palatable,
nor more universally desired. 4 writer in
the American Agriculturist, in a commune
cation to the editor on the important sub
ject of curing them, says: ''Agreeably to
your request, herewith send you the pro-
cess of curing the hams sent you in March,
which recently called forth the admiration
of the American Agricultural Association
and the Farmers Club at New York.
Il made pickle of two quarts Of salt, to
which added one ounce of summer savory,
one ditto Of sweet marIoram, one ditto all
spice, half ditto salt-petre, and one pound
brown sugar; boiled the whole together,
and applied the mixture boiling hot, to one
hundred pounds Of ham, and kept it in the
pickle three or four weeks.
My process Of smoking was not the most
expensive, but may not be the less available
on that account. smoked the hams in a
seed cask, with one head in, with smalI
hole for the smoke 10 pass out, hung my
hams to the head, and used about peck OF
mahogany saw-dust for fuel, which | hap
pened to have on hand for packing goods
j smoked them but one week. ONUe

A FRAGMENr.-T'o enter this world with
out weIcome-to leave it without an adleu
to suffer and be unequal to your suffer
ngs--to stand sad and silent monument
amid the joys of others, which you cannot
understand nor conceive of--to carry with
in your bosom the buried seeds of happiness
which are to grow, Of intelligence which Is
never TO burst forth, or usefulness which is
never to terminate-to find even your pre-
sence affective; and know not whether you
excite compassion or horror-a whole ex-
istence without one cheering sound, without
one welcome accent--wthout one exhilira-
ting thong ht-witlfout one recollection OF
the past-wlthout one hope Of the future
Oh. what cloud of wre.chedness covers,
surrounds and overwhelms such deplora-
bic victim Of sorrow.
Now, to throw over such benighted be-
ing the sweet rays Of intelligence-to open
the intellect, and to let it gush forth to
streams of light and joy--to rouse the at
fec.ions, that they may know and love God,
the giver Of all things, and merciful in all
his chastsements--lo enlighen the soul
that it may see it's origin and destiny--to
cause their lips to smile, though they can
not speak the eye to gIisten with other e.
motions than those of SORROW; and the
mind to understand, although it cannot hear
oh what beautiful supplement to the
benevoence of heaven.

FANNY's BIRDs-There was another of
Deacon I'odd's little friends Of whom
wish the young readers OF the Index to
know something. She was much Younger
than Susan, but in her way very agreeable
and interesting little girl.
One day, Fanny took it into her head to
chip up paper all over the floor, which her
youthful Imagination made very readily in
TO birds. She stood in a chair, and raising
her little hands up as high as she couls!
reach, the scissors in one hand and the pa
per in the other, the futtering the scraps
made in falling amused her exceedingly
This kind Of sport, it appears, had been GO
inc on for some time, and the floor was
pretty we'll covered with slips of paper,
when the old Deacon came in.
why Fanny Fanny, child! what's all
TINS: yet the broom quickly, anu sweep
up all those chips Of paper.'
'I'hem's my BIRDS said Fanny, with all
the simplicity of her childish nature
.Them's my birds, Uncle
Ohio, they're birds, ere they But O l. ~:
who ever saw such flock of birds in the
house We must drive them into the yard
with the chickens and ducks At the same
time, gathering up the skirts Of his coat, he
went round the room calling ont 'shoo
shoo' Then calling to Fanny again; Run
quickly, bring the broom, and help me to
drive these birds out into the yard
Fanny few for the broom, full of youth
full glee, and had quite as much sport in
driving the birds into the yard, as she had
had in seeing them light on the floor

George w. Summers, of Kanawha, was voted

therefore lie three gentlemen in nomination

They are all known 10 the State, aud We DO Bol
hesact to say, that Virginia would be well repre-
scented in the Senate by either. They have all
been at different periods oil their lives prominent
