Power Of the voice over Children.

1t is useless to attempt the management of chill
dren either by corporea punishme Mt, or by re-
wards addressed to the senses, or by word alone.
There is one other means of government, the pow
er of which, and importance of which, are sell
dom regarded. refer to the human voice. A
blow may be inflicted on child, accompanied by
words so uttered as to counteract entirely its n-
tended effect; or the parent may use language, in
the correction of the child, not objectionable in
itself, yet spoken in tone which m ,re than de-
stroys its influence. Let any one endeagor to re-
call the image of fond mother, long since at rest
in heaven. Her sweet smile and ever dear coun-
tenance are brought vividly to recollection; and
so also, is her voice; and blessed is that parent
who is endowed with pleasing utterance. What
is it which luls the infant to repose! 1t is no
array Of mere words. There is no charm to the
untaught one in letters, syllabies and sentences.
It is the sound which strikes its little ear, that
soothes and cOmposes it to sleep few notes,
however unskilfuly arranged, if uttered in soft
voice are found to possess magic influence. Think
we that this influence is confined to the cradle?
No, it is diffused over every age, and ceases not
while the child remains under the parental roof
Is the boy growing rude in manners, and bolster
GUS in speech! know of no instrument so sure
to control these tendencies, as the gentle tones
of a mother. She who speaks to her son HARSH
ly, does but give to his conduct the sanction of
her own example. She pours oil on the already
raging fame. In the pressure of duty, we are
liable to utter ourselves hastily to our children.
Perhaps threat is expressed in loud and irri-
tatiug tone: instead of allaying the passions OF
the child, it serves directly to increase them
Every fretfu expression awakens in him the same
split which produced it. So does pleasant
voice call up agreeable feelings. What DISPOSE
ton, therefore, would encourage in child, the
same we should manifest in tie tone in which we
would address him. 10

Influence Of tbe Physician

How many thousand faces must have passed be-

woe must have been poured into his ears; what
awful secrets must find repository beneath that
black satin waistcOatl We may lie to the law

we cannot lie. The murder must out. The prod
igal pressed for an account Of his debts, will keen

ghostly director: but from the doctor we can hide
nothing, or We die. He is our great master here
on earth. The successful tyrant crOuches before
him like hound; the scOrnfnl beauty bows the
knee; the stern worldly man clings desperately to
him as the anchor that win hold him from drifting
into the dark sea that hath no limits. The doctor
knows not rank. The multilated beggar in ST.
CELSIUS ward may be a more interesting ease to
him than the sick duchess He despises beauty
there may be cancer in its b.osm. He laughs
at wealth !: it may be rendered iutolerable by dis

WHEN I,hear boys and girls harsh andrude to
each other, / pity them. They lose the best and
purest pleasures Of life and it is painful to the
eldest in family, instead of being guide and in
structor, and protector to the younger brothers
and sisters, only use his superior age and strength
to oppress them.
There was once lovely little boy, between two
and three years old, the pet and plaything Of the
whole house. No one loved him more than hi
brother, who was six or eight years the elder. He
took great delight in playing with and amusing
the little one, and they were for a long time the
best of friends $50 ~
Atlength, unfortunately, the elder brother dis
covered that the younger was very amusing when
he was teased SO he teased him whenever e had
an opportunity. just for the pleasure of laughing
at him Soon the little brother got to dislike the
elder one SO much that he could not bear to have
him come near him. Their mother who had watch
ed the course of events talked seriously to her
eldest child, and advised him to try the effect of
genteness and kindness in recovering the affection
Of his brother. He had the good sense to take
this kind advice and in short time the most cor
dial feeling. was again established between them.
Too many children think it is not worth while

On the evening of my arrival in the city, as l
set out to walk through the bazaars, encountered
a native Jew, whose face will haunt me the rest Of
my life. l was sauntering slowly along, asking
myself, "Is that Jerusalem ?" when lifting up my
eyes they met those of Christ It was the very
face which Raphael had painted from tie traditional
features of the Savior as they are recognized and
accepted by all Christendom.
The waving brown hair, partly hidden by the
Jewish cap, fell clustering about the ear; the face
was the most perfect oval, and almost feminine in
the purity ofits outline; the serene chldke mouth
was shaded with light moustache, and silky
brown beard clothed the chin; but the eyes, shall

unfathomabe, they beamed with an expression of
divine sorrow, such as | never saw in human face.
The man bad just emerged from a dark hatchway,
and the golden glow ofsunset rejecting from the
white wall above, fell upon his face. Perhaps it
was this transfgured which made his beauty so
uuearthly; but during the moment that 1 saw him,

Mechanics.

st. Paul was mechanic-a maker Of tents
from goats hair, and, 10 the lecturers opinion, he
was model mechanic. He was not only thor
ough workman at his trade, but was a scholars
perfect master, not only Of his native Hebrew, but
of three foreign tongues, knowledge of which he
obtained by close application to study during his
leisure hours while serving his apprenticeship.
1t was custom among the Jews to learn their
sons some trade-a custom not confined to the
poor classes but was also practced by the wealthy
aud it was a common proverb among them, that
if father did not teach his son some mechanical
occupation, he taught him to steal This custom
was a wise one, and if the fathers of the present
day would initiate their example, their wrDkled
cheeks would not so often blush for the helpless.
ness, and not unfrequent criminal conduct of their
offspring Even if the father interded the son for
one Of the professions, it would be ncalculable
benefit to that son to instruct him 10 some branch
of mechanism His education would not only be
more complete and healthy, but he might at some
future time in case Of failure in his profession, find
his trade convenient as c means of earning his
bread, and he must necessarily be more complete
in mechanical from his professional education.
An educated mechanic was a model machine,
while an uneducated mechanic was merely me
chanic workman under the superintendent of an
Others brain. Let the rich and proud no longer
look upon mechanism as degrading to him who
adopts branch of it as his calling. 1t is noble
calling-as noble as the Incidence and inactivity
of wealth is ignobe.

the right to retire into the dark, bind
Itself to secrecy under oath, unfold what
they please and conceal what they
please frem the people nor have the
people the shadow of a neral right to
give their san cti.n L. that. of the pro-
priety of which they are not Informed.
Moreover, this principle of organiza-
ton will prove utterly subversive of the
Constitution of the United States, by
placing the legislation of Congress in
the hands of an irresponsible associa-
tion of lis members in body totally
unknown to the Constitution, distinct
from Congress itself, existing within, but
independent of, and independent of all
responsibility to, any public or recog-
missed law. The Congressional Council,
itself at war with the Constitution, will
be under the control of the National
Council; and the result will be, that the
Congress of the United States will be-
come, under the full success of Know
Nothing principles, a mere registry of
DEGREES to a body in the heart of the
country, unknown to the Constitution
existing. no one can tell where-aim-
ing at, no one can tell what. 1t is
a principle of a party organization,
which, by demanding the unlimited
submission of the minority to the ma
jority, annihiiates the balance-power of
Parliamentary opposition, and all the
advantages that belong to it. 1t extin-
cuisines the personal independence of
the, voter, destroys the jurisdiction of
conscience over the political conduct,
and makes it condition to the pres
ervation of his integrity, if a voter
should happen to scruple measure
or man proposed by the Order, that
he absolutely abandon the party al
together. .'-''
Lastly: if this principle of secrecy
and obligation under oath is legitimate
for one party, it is legitimate for all
every party may adopt it; the Sag
Nicht" clubs of the foreigners of the
West are wholly justified and the whole
political destinies of the country may be
controlled by secret, eath-bound organi-
zations-a hybrid mixture of Masonry
and political caucus, with all good in

any man in this nation contemplate such
a prospect--the legitimate result of the
principle of organization adopted by the
Know-Nothing party--without emotions
OF alarm amounting to terror? 1t is Il
principle, legitimate in a condition of So
ciety where the lives of men are depen-
dent upon the fidelity of their political
associates; it is utterly abominable in
any other. Yet the accomplished writer
in the Critic, for May, would place such
principle, in point ofpolitical morality, on
the same footing with the vote by ballot!
We have only to add, that if the Ma
tionality, the Federal Union and the
Protestant Civilization of this country,
are dependent upon the conservatism of
this new political combination, its past
acts indicate most fearfully that gloomy
times are ahead.
