HINTS II MOTHERS. you wish to cul-
tivate gossipug, meddlins, eensorinus
spirit in your children, be sure when they
come home from church, visit, or any
other place where you do not accompany
them, to ply them with questions concern
ming what everybody wore, how everybody
looked, and what everybody said aud did;
and if you find anything ia this to censurc,
always do it in their herring. You may
rest assured, they will not 'eturn to you un-
laden with intelligence; and. rather than
it should be unnIercsting, they will by de-
grecs, learn to embcllish il such a manner
as shall not fail to call forth remarks and
expressions Of wonder frou you. You will,
by this course, render the spirit of curiosity
which is SO early visible in children, and
which, if rightly directed may be made the
instrument of enriching and cnIarghg
their minds-a vehicle of mischief, which
shall serve only to narrow them.
