From the Friend of Virtue
Some of the Causes of Failure in
Family Government.

If to know our own disease is half our
cure" then, surely, to know some Of the eau
ses of failure in family government is very
important. Are we to bear precious bur.
den over mountains and precipices, through
arid deserts and sandy plains are we even
to cross the swelling flood? Is our way be-
set with difficulties innumerable then how
important that we know where are the diff
.culties and how to avoid them.
This subject, we know is frequently allud-
ed to in our little sheet. But when we con-
slider its amazing magnitude, when we re-
lnember that the veal or the woe of a dying
world seems, in a measure, suspended on this
one thing, that its Importance is written as
with pen of iron, that it takes hold of the
destinies Of immortals, not only for time but
for eternlty,-when we remember this, we
think that no apology need be offered for
bringing it frequently before our readers-for
giving line Upon line and precept upon pre-
cept.
Most, we believe, on whom has devolved
the task of governing children, even those to
whom much wisdom has been given, concur in
the sentiment that the subject involves great
difficulties We not unfrequently hear moth
ers say" cannot govern my children, Thex
will not mind me. l talk to them, l scold
them, l whip them, in various ways punish
them, but still they won't mind me. do not
know what is the matter, why my children
are so much worse than others, and those too
that have not half the pains taken with them,
that take wthmy children" This question
may easily be answered. 1t is for want of in
0uence. But why this want Of influence p

THEM CoNvICTs." A young gentleman
from Woodstock student in the Medical
College, while stopping a few hours at the
Windsor House on Monday last, concluded to
visit the much-talked-of Prison, and improve
if possible his knowledge Of human character
by studying the physiognomies Of the inmates.
He accordingly started out in search Of the
walled edifce, but being unacquainted with
the crooks and turns Of our streets, strayed
towards the Armory of Messrs Robbins, Ken
dali & Lawrence. Coming suddenly in sight
of the Armory, he stopped, and appeared to
be uncertain whether that was the prison or
not, but hearing the noise Of machinery, and
seeing that a big gun was attached to the
spire, in place OF q common weathercock,and
probably supposing the gun could be for no
other purpose than to shoot on the run those
who should attempt to escape, he stepped up
tmidly to the Clerk, who happened at tho
moment to be standing on the steps, and ask
ed if he could 90 in and see the convicts.--
The Clerk, seeing Verdants mistake, and not
being particularly hostile to an occasional bit
of fun, replied that he could, provided he
would not speak to any of them. This YER
dant promised, and the Clerk stepped in to
L" show him round" They traversed the first
and second stories Of the building without see
ing anything that astonished Mr.. Verdant,ex-
cept that some of the convicts who were rath-
er good looking should be found there, bat
coming to the third story, where a room is
partitoned off and occupied by the Inspector,
the Clerk informed Mr. V. that that room
was made expressly to keep one man in-an
awful savage fellow" Can't I see him ?"
asked Verdant. You may peek at him."
said the Clerk, " but be very still about it,
So saying the Clerk opened the door about
two inches, and Mr.. Y. applied his eye to the
opening He does look savage, don't he!
what did be do?" asked Verdant. ooh moth
ing" was the answer, "only killed twelve
men, l." Killed twelve men" exclaimed '.
in breathess establishment, with eyes wide
open, "what in the world did he do that for?"
4" Why you see he was very fond of playing
checkers, and six of these men had blue eyes,
and the other six had black ones, and he
wanted their eyes to make checker men of"
Just at this moment the Inspector, who was
quietly examining pile Of gun barrels, raised
one of the barrels to his eye to look through
it, but Mr.. Verdant, supposing Of course he
was aiming at him, made tracks down stairs
at about doitbIc the speed Of schoolboy with
the master at his heels, and yamosed the prem
ises.- w. JoMnQ
