though satirical works, that we are sadly
10th to part with the man.
The opera is perfectly charming this win
ter. La Grange is an artist whose merits
grow upon us the more we listen to her. Her
skill is unrivalled. We seem to hear even
now the joyous carolling of her voice In the
bridal song in Puritan, But where is sur
own American song bird, Miss Henely? We
hear nothing Of her of late We long to
hear her sweet voice and gaze upon her pure
sweet face again. Mrs. Julia Dean Haync
appeared on Saturday at the Broadway in Il
play of which che was herself the author.
So many talents and so much beauty are
rarely united in one person. No wonder rap
turous applause ever follows her.
Fair, starlight nights succeed our brilliant
days, and though the wild wind every now
and then has a mad frolic, we feel that old
Winter is treating us very kindly. We hope
for the sake of the homeless poor, that this
winter will prove less severe than last.

II is not to watch children with a susnic-
ious eye; to frown at their merry outbursts
OF innocent hlarty; to suppress their joyous
laughter, and to mould them into melancholy
little models Of octogenarian gravity.
And when they have been in fault, it is not
70 punish them simply on account of the per-
sonal injury that you may have CHANGED 70
suner IN consequence OF their fault; while
disobedienee, unattended by inconvenience TO
yourself, passes without rebuke.
Nor is it to overwhelm the little culprit
With torrent of angry words; to stun him
with deafening noise; to call him hard
names which do not express his misdeeds to
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1855-12-18

load him with epthets which would be ex-
travagant if applied to fault Of ten-fold
enormity; or to declare with passionate We
hemence that he il the worst child in the vii
lage, and destined to the gallows.
But it is to watch with anxiety for the FIRST
risings of sin and to repress them to coun-
teract the earliest workings of selfshness ;
to suppress the first beginnings of rebellion
against rghtful authority to teach an i'm
plcit, unquestoning and cheerful obedience

1t is to punish fault because it 10 fault !;
because it il sinful and contrary TO the com
mands of God, without reference TO whether
Il may not have been productive of mmedi-
ate injury to the parent or others.
Il IS to reproye with calmness and compo-
sure, and not with angry irritation; in a few
words, fifty chosen, and not with torrent of
abuse ; to punish rs often as YOU threaten,
and threaten only when YOU both intend and
can remember to perform; to say what yon
mean, and infallibly to do as You say.-TRe-

bate the beast, and not TO ait him.

been doing"
''Och, yer honor, but jist tied him up
70 the stable wild halther, and then out wild
n hickory stick, and bate him till me arm was
used QUIT"
