Family Government.

By REV. RALPH W. ALLEN. ..-.
On the correct formation of character, hangs
all which Is dear to the human race. 1t rs true,
that the teacher and example have much to do
in its formation, but these fall far below parental
training in this directing and moulding intlu-
encc. Indeed, the potency for good Of the teach
er, is in great measure secured by well sus-
taincd family discipline.
In most instances, it may be undeniably at-
firfncd that, the foundation Of character for sub
sequent life, is laid under parental influence, for
here the clements of character are imbibed,
whether good or evil. And is that government
to be lightly esteemed under which character is
to receive its constituent principles, and be sha-
ped 10: the future destiny? Only let this be
right, and other things being equal, all earthly
governments will be right.
Hence, says John Angel James, every nation
has stamped a great value on the family COM
pact, and guarded it with the most powerful
sanctions. 1t is at the tireside, and upon the
family hearth, that patriotism, and every public
virtue, grows; as it is Ill disordercd families that
factious demasogues, ond tyrannical oppressors
are trained up, to be their nciy yhbors or their
country's scour%c.
1t Is there that tic thorn and the brlar, to use
the elegant simile Of the prophet Or the myrtle
and the iir-tree. are reared, which are in future
time to be.thc ornament and defense, Or the de-
fornity and misery, of the land.
To point out some things essential to right
administration of family government is the OBJ
jert of the following remarks:
Kindness should be stamped on all the pa.
rents acts in family. BE kindly afectioncd
one to another, is divine command, peculiarly
applicable to all parents (and to all tamilies.)
Parents should be selfpossessed. To exercise
R5u HTst s Gzsh Chez ase fSf Hi5 g57efh @
others. Nothing should be done through ca
price, OF in passion. Parents should rule well
their own house, having their children in subjec-
ton with all gravity.
Eluanimity OF temper is also essential to a
proper administration Of parental government.
Many persons suffer themselves to change in
their feelings by the most trivial circumstances;
sometimes calm and composed, then frctful and
passionate; sometimes holding themselves in re-
strant, then giving loose rein to their i'll humor.
Let parents remember that if they would gov
crn WELL they must maintain evenuess and firm
ness of mind.

you have DO more money to pay, and no more
hands to carry their useless pebbles; and finding
new faces, and hearing new tales continually, the
plot thickens so numerically, that You cease to
believe anything, so because YOU lave believed
so much, and in self defence are forced to turn
away from the masonic pile that owns 10 mason
from the cid rn-chair that no cabinet maker
ever planncd-lrom the bowl where none but
giant could drink-and the organ pipes to whose
identity the roaring waves lends so real in illu-
sion. Buta sight of the Giants Causeway, in
spite of its nonsensica traditions and its fabulous
legends, is commentary too impressive ever to
be forgotten, the power and mig ght Of its great
Creator And long years hence it will stand,
firm and enduring, as it ever has stood, in its
solemn awful grandeur to annihilate the athe-
ist's doubt, and to silence the Sccptic's sneer.

Home Affections.

The heart has memories that never die. The
rourh rubs of the world can never obliterate
them. They are the memories Of lomc-early
home. There is Il magic in the sound. There
is the old tree under which the light-hearted boy,
swung many day; yollder the river in which
he learned to swim; there the house in which he
knew fathers protection; nay there is the room
in which he romlrGd with brother and sister
alas laid i'll the vard'n which he must soon be
gathered, over shadowed by yon old church,
whittier, with a Joyous troop like himself, he has
often followed his parents, to worship with, ana
hear the good old man who ministercd ut the
altar Why, even the very school house, asso-
catcd in youthful day with thong hts of task,
row comes to bring pleasant rcmemIrances OF
many occasions that call forth some generous
exhibitions of noble traits of human nature
There is where he learned to feel some OF his
first emotions There, pcrchaucc, he first met
the being who. 10y her love and tenderness III
life, has made home for himself, happier than
that which his childhood knew. There are Ger
tain feelings Of humanity, and those too, among
the best, that can find IN appropriate place tor
their exercise only by ones own hrcSldc There
is privacy OF that which it was aspecies of desc
Grafton to violate He who seeks wantonIy to
invade it is neither more or less than villain;
and hence there exists no Slircr test ot dcbasc-
mcnt of morals in Il community, than the dSpo-
Sition to tolerate in any mode, the man who III
vadys the sanctity of private life. In the tur-
moi of the world, let there he at least one spot
where the poor man may find affection and cen
fdcncc which are not to be abused

can more jndicio,lsly use than plaster, in the
absorption of the weddings as well as the effect of
fixing the valuable properties Of manures, which
are constantly escaping in the form of gases;
would then advise the liberal use of plaster in
all the vegetable manures raised upon the farm
it is essential in all well regulated and ventilated
stables and COW sheds, in preserving the health as
well as the eyes of the animals, from the noXious
exhalations Of the pungcn: ifnot poisonous gases
which arc constantly escaping from the manures.
Plaster fully rcpays the farmer who uses it, ten
fold. Much could be said upon this sub ject,
but fearing this Essay, already too long, may be-
come tiresomo, shall conclude this subject by
strcnuouSly advising more careful and con-
slant eye to the accumulation and preservation
of bran.yaGd and stable lnanures
In conclusion, whether you have the stiff ffclays
or sandy loans to contend with Oh youT farms,
and YOU desire to restore them to fertility, they
must have the advantage of lime ciorc} and plas-
ter, and regular rotation of crops. You must
lend all your energies to the accumulation Of
manurcs, both animal, rcgctG5'e and mineral,
you cannot expect your lands to yield you
rcmulcrating crops unless you continue to keep
up its fertility by liberal applications of manure.
Should your bam-yard and stables fail to afford
YOU sufficient supply, YOU should 90 to your
marshes, woods and ditch banks, and there find
the elements for manure. We know the chef
element of all manure being vegetable matter,
and its production being necessarily slow and
laborious on exhausted soils, we should take ad
vantage OF every assistant i'll increasing and APP
plying it to the soil.
Hoping that Essay may be received by farmers
in the spirit in which it is written, and may be
the means Of elicting better information on the
different manures it is most respectfully submit
ted to their consideration.

aTHE WARM YOUNG HEART"

BY M.E~TUPPER,
"A beautiful face, and form of grace,
Were a pleasant sight to see;
And gold, and gems, and diadems,
Right excellent they be;
But beauty and gold, though 9th untold
Are things ola worldly mart
The wealth that prize, above ingot or eyes,
Is heart-a warm young heart.
o face most fair, shall thy beauty compare
With affection's glowing light!
Or riches and pride, how pale ye beside
Loves wealth serene and bright
Ispurn thee away, as cold thing OF clay
Though gdet and carved thou art:
For all that prize, in its smiles and its sighs,
Is neart--a warm young heart.

Perhaps YOU would like TO know the way
they buried him. The evening he died they
placed pot of water and pan Of rice at his
head the rice was to keep him from being hum
cry, and the water he could drink on his way
to the land of bliss. We got asquare box made
for him, instead of a coffin. They placed him in
sitting position in the box, and packed his clothes
and part of his bedding all around him. After
placing him in the grave, everv one Of the Ja-.
panese Sprinkled three drops of fresh water on
him, and then laid hat on top of the box.
We filled up the grave, and they laid pan of.
rice and spoon on the grave, which they car

a head-board made for him, and are going ashore
to-day to put it over him." ~ So
