Well Governed Children.

1t is quite mistake to suppose that
children love the parents less who main.
tain proper authority over them. On
the contrary, they respect them more It
is cruel and unnatural selfshness that
INDUCES children in foolish and hurtful
way. Parents are guides and counselors
to their children; Asa guide in foreign
land, they undertake to pilot them safely
through the shoals and quicksands of in
experience. If the guide allows his fol.
lowers all the liberty they please-if be-
cause they dislike the constraint of the
narrow path of safety, he allows them to
stray into holes and down precipices that
destroy them, to loiter in woods full of
wild beasts or deadly herbs-can he be
called sure guide? And is not the same
with children? They are as yet only in
the preface or as it were, in the first chap
ter of the book of life. We have nearly
finished it, or far advanced. We must
open the pages to the younger minds. If
children see their parents act from princi-
pie, that they do not punish because per-
sonal offence is taken, but because the
thing in itself is wrong--if they see that,
while they are resolutely but affectionate-
ly refused what is not good for them,
there is willingness to oblige them in all
innocent matters-they will soon appre-
ciate such conduct If no attention is
paid to rational wishes; if no allowance is
made for youthful spirits; if they are
dealt with in hard and unsympathizing
manner-the proud spirit will rebel and
the meek spirit be broken.

Eg One very cold night jolly old
fellow, who had partaken rather freely of
flip at the tavern, started home in sleigh,
and on the way was upset and left by the5
side of the road. Some persons passing

cred the old fellow in a sitting posture,
holding his foot up to the moon, ejaculat-

SOME FACTS IN REGARD TO Population.
By the census of 1860, the free population
of all the slave States is S,434, 126. That
of the three largest of the Free States Isl
New York, 3,85l,263; Pennsylvania,
l,796; Ohio, 2,377,917. Total
S,54l, ,266. If we deduct from the aggre-
gate of the slave States the free popula-
ton of Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky,
and Missouri, it leaves to the secessionists
a total population of 5,671,729 The to-
tai population of the nineteen free States
is l9,95O,759.

Over the woodland brown and sere,
Over the hillocks far and near,
On lordly mansion and lowlv cot
There is scarce a place BY me forgot
As I come falling, silently falling.
Here come working busily working;
Spreading the warp afar over the land,
Plying the shuttle with skillfld hand,
Noiselessly weaving garment bright,
Clothing the earth in purest white,
Thus am working, busily working.
Here come falling, slowly falling;
One BY one, with fairy grace,
Each flake takes its appointed place;
None are useless, not one could spare,
Each in my work has its part to bear,
As it comes falling. slowly falling.
Here come whispering, softly whispering,
List TO the lesson NJ teaching you,
Ever when you have a work to do,
Do it modestlv. stunning display,
a hustling pride never wins the day,
Thus am whispering, softly whispering.
This, too, am teaching. quietly teaching.
