Children.

Il is mistake TO think that children love the
parents less who maintain proper authority over
them. On the contrary, they respect them more.
Il Ia cruel and unnatural selfshness that INDUCES
children in foolish and hurtful way. Parents are
guides and councillors to their children Az a
guide in a foreign land, they undertake 10 pilot
them safely through the shoals and quicksands Of
inexperience. fthe guide allows his followers all
the liberty they please; IL because they dislike the
constraint Of the path Of society, he allows
them to stray into holes and precpces that destroy
them, TO Stake their thirst in brooks that poison
them TO loiter in woods full Of wild beasts or deadly
herbs, can be be called a sure guide And Is II
not the same with our chidreng They are as yet
only in the preface, or, it were, in the first chap
ter Of the book Of life We have nearly finished
IL or are far advanced. We must open the pages
for these younger minds IL children see that their
parents act from principle-that they do not find
fault without reason that they do not punish be-
cause personal offence is taken, but because the
thing in itself is wrong-if they see that, while they
are resolutely but aectonatey refused what Is not
good for them, there Is Willingness to oblge them
In all innocent matters-they viii soon appreciate
such conduct.
If no attention is paid to the rational wishes-if
no allowance Is made for youthful spirits-if they
are dealt with In hard and unsympathizing man
ner--the proud spirit win rebel, and the meek spirit
be broken. Our stopping to amuse them, our con-
descending 10 1nhke ourselves ono IN tneiT plays
and pleasures at suitable times, viii lead them TO
know that il is not because win not but because
we cannot attend TO them, that at other times we
refuse TO do so. A pert or improper way Of speak
ing. ought not 10 be allowed. Clever children are
very apt to be pert, and, If too much admired for
t. and laughed at, become eccentric and disagree
able II Is often very difficult to check our own
amusements but their future welfare should be re-
garded more than our present entertainment II
should never be forgotten that they are tender
plants committed to our fostering care-that every
tboughtlcss word or careless neglect may destroy
germ Of immortality that foolishness is bound
up in the heart Of a child and that we must
ever, like watchfnl husbandmen, be on our guard
against It. II is indeed little that do In our
own strength, but five are conscientious performers
Of our part--if we earnestly commend them in
faith and prayer TO the fostering care of their Father
in lleayen-to the tender love Of Him, the Angel
Of whose presence goes before them, and who car
ries these lambs in his bosom-we may then 60 on
