A Good Father.

The good father is ever humane, tender
and affecsionate to his children; he treats
them, therefore, with lenity and kindness;
corrects with prudence, rebukcs with tenn
per, and chastises with reluctance; be new
er suffers his influence to degenerate into
weakness, his affections to be biassed by
partiality as he rejoiccs in theirjoy, and
participates in theirsafiictions, he never
suffers them to want blc:s,siifisss4gh icl. z
can bestow, or to lament an evil which he
can prevent; whilehe continues with them,
he administers to their present happiness,
and provides for their fpturefelicity when
he shall be removed sfroln them; he is
dnnhlx- cautious -nresclYina his own
character, because theirs depends upon it !;
he is prudent, therefore, that they may
be happy, industrious that they may be
rich, good and virtuous and they may be
respected; he instructs by his life and
teaches by his example; as he is thorough
ly satisfied, that piety is the source and
foundation of every virtue, he takes care
to @bring them up in the nurture and ad-
monition ofthe Lord;;" and they may be
good men, he endeavors to make them
good Christians; and after having done
everything in his power to make them
easy and happy here, points out to them
the only lnfallible means of securing eter-
nal bliss and tranquility hereafter

A Good Wife.

The good wife is one, who. ever. mind
ful OF the solemn contractswhich she has
entered into, is strictly and conscientious
ly virtuous, constant, and faithful to her
husband; chaste, pure. and unblemished
in every thought, word and deed; she is
humble and modest from reasonsand con-
yiction, submissive from choice, and obedi,
ent from inclination whatever she ac-
quircs by love and tenderncss;she pre-
serves by prudence and discretion; she
makes it her business to serve, and her
pleasure to oblige her husband; as eonsei-
Gus, that everything which promotes his
happiness, must in the end contribute to
her own; her tenderness relieves his cares,
her affections softenhis distress her good
humor and complacency lessen and subdue
his affections; @she openeth her mouth"
as Solomon says,f'with wisdom, and in
her tongue, is the law Of kindness; she
looketh.wen to the ways of her household /;
and she eateth'not the bread of idleness +;
her children rise up and call her blessed ;
her husband also, and he praiseth her.
Lastly, asa good and pious Christian, she
looks up with an eye of gratitude to the
Great Dispenser and Disposerof allthings,
to the Husband of the widow, and the
Father to the afatherless, entreating His
divine favor and assistance in this and ey-
cry other moral and religious duty; well
satisfied, that if sheaduly and punctually
discharges her several offices and relations
in this life, she shall be blessed and re-
warded for it in another.

man, in his admirable work, Hints on
Domestic Happiness" inculcates this
doctrine, which we cordially endorse;
SIN compensation l once held withan
eminent minister of our church, he made
the fine observation: /" We will say moth
ing of the manner in which that sex usu-
ally conduct an argument but the intui-
tive Judgment of women are often more
to be, relied upon than the conclusions
which we reach by an elaborate process
of reasoning" No mantha has an intel
ligcnt. wife, or who is accustomed to the
society of educated women: will dispute
this.
Times without number you must have
known them to decide questions on the in
stant, and with unerring accuracy, which
you had been poring over for hours perhaps
with no other result than to find yourself
getting deeper and deeper into. the tan

were hardly generous toalledge that they.
achieve these feats less by reasoning thar
by o sort of sagacity which approximates
to The sure instinct of the animal races; !;
and yet there seems to be ground for tho
remark of witty French writer, that,
when man has toiled step by step, up
flight of stairs, he will be sure to find a
woman at the top; but she will not be
able to tell Ao,o she got there" @s
How she got there, however, is oflit-
tleI moment If the conclusions woman
has reached are sound, that is all that con-
cernsus. And that they are very apt to
be- sound on the practical matters of do
nestle and secular nfc, nothing but preju-
dice or self conceit can prevent us from
acknowledging. The inference therefore,
is unavoidable that the man who thinks it
beneath his dignity to take counsel with
an intelligent wife, stands in his own
light, and betrays that lack of Judgment
which he tacitly attributes to her.

Mind What You Say.

It is always well to avoid saying every
thing that is improper. But it is.especl-
ally so before children. And here par
ents, as wellas others, are often in fault
Children have as many ears as grown per
sons, and they.are generally more alter
tive to what is said before them. What
they hear they are very apt to repeat, and
as they have not discretion and knowl-
edge of the world enough todisguise any
thing, it is generally found that children !
and fools speakth truth" See that little
boys eyes glisten while you are speaking
of a neighbor, in language you would not
wish to have repeated. BE does notfully
understand what you mean, but he will
remember every word; and it will be
strange if he does not cause you to blush
by its repetition.
A gentleman was in the habit Of calling
at q ncighbor's house, and the lady had
always expressed pleasure at his calls
One day, just after she.had expressed to
him, as usual, her happiness from his visit,
her little boy entered the room. The
gentleman took him on his knee, and
asked,
care you not glad to see me, George
"No siir," replied the boy
aWhy not, my little man." he contin-
ued.
aBecause mother don't want you to
come" said Georgc?"
aIndccd? How do you know that,
George ?"
Here the mother was crimson, and look
ed, daggers at the little son. Butshe saw
nothing, and therefore replied
Because she said yesterday, that she
wished that old bore would not cal here
l, :s;i;;iii. =
That was enough. The gentleman's
hat was soon in requisition, and he left,
with the impression that great is truth
and will prevail-p
Another little child, looking sharply ins
the face Of q visitor, and being asked
what she meant by it, replied
II wanted to see whether you had
dopin in your eye; I heard mother say you
had frequently"
A boy once asked one of his fathers
guests, who lived next door to him; aneA>
when he heard his name, he asked if he
was not fool?
sNo, my little friend," replied the guest,
che is not fool, but a very sensible mar.
But why did you ask that question p
Because" replied the boy, @mother
said the other day, that you were next
door to afool, and 1 wanted to know who
lived next door to you"
These arre~H5a.*-ssir,eeeimen but of what are
constantly occurring. Children are nots
to be forgotten, when one is conversinG;
and those who think that they are not

to the rapping spirits, for telling the truth.
