RULES FOR HOME EDucATIoN.


The following rules are commended for thsif
excellence, brevity and practical utility. La
every parent and guardian read; ponder; au1
inwardly digest: "a
l. From your ehildren's earliest infancy, il.
culcate this necessity Of instant obedience.
| 2. Unite firnness with gentlenesl. Let
your children always understand that you
mean what you say.
8. Never promise them anything unless you
are quite sure you can give them what you
say. ....... -...
4. If you tell a little child to do something,
show him how to do It, and see that It Is done:
8. Always punish your children for wilfully
disobeying you, but never punish them ID
anger. @
9. Never let them perceive that they 1s&
you or make you lose yovr selfcommand.
q II they give way to petulahce or ill-tem.
per- wait till they are calm, and then gently
redson with thetn on the impropriett Of their
conduct.
8. Remember that little present punish:
ment when the occasion arises, is more eifee:
tual than the threatening Of q greater punish
ment should the fault be renewed.
0. Never give your children anything be-
cause they cry for it
10 On no accoiut atlSW lheu 70 do al one
time what you have forbiddEhG tindet the Sams

IA. Teach them self denial, not selfinddt;
gencc, Of an angry and resentful spirit.
II these rules were reduced to practice
daily practically parents and guardians, how
much misery would be prevented, how many
in danger Of ruin would be saved, how largely
would the happiness Of a thousand domestic
circles be augmented It is lamentable to sed
how extensive is parental neglect, and to wit.

A curious breach Of contract-which, how.
ever, included libel-has just been decided
in Paris. Mademoiselle s. proceeded against
the directors Of one. of the Paris theaters for
certain moneys due to her for an engagement
as second danseuse. The defendant pleaded
"never indebted" and, as o rider to the plea,
stated that "the calves Of Mademoiselles legs
were too big for dauseuse." On the part Of
the plaintiff il was argued that she had made
no secret Of her legs, which were such as q
liberal nature had given to heri that they
were, in fact, the stock In trade Of dancer
that objections bad been taken by other direc-
tors 10 danseuses " sans moLLet /" and, finally,
that the state Of the case was known to the
defendant when he made the contract. The
defendant offered TO refer the matter to an
"expert," and named the ballet master Of the
Imperial Academy as his referee, but the court
held that strong legs were no breach Of con-
tract, and gave verdict Of costs for the plain
tiif. l-a....-
Try for day, I beseech you, says jean
Paul Richter, to preserve yourself in an easy
and cheerful frame Of mind. Be but for one
day, instead Of o fre.worshipper Of passion,
the. sun worshipper Of clear selEpossession
and compare tho dIy in which you have rooted
out the weed Of dissatisfaction with that on
which you allowed Il to grow up; and you will
find your heart open to every good motive,
your life strengthened, and your breast armed
with q panoply against every trick Of fate
truly, you will wonder at your own improve
ment
Four good mothers have given birth to four
bad daughters: truth has produced hatred ;
success, pride; security, danger; and famili.
arity contempt And, on the other hand, four
bad mothers have produced as many good
daughters: for astronomy Is the offspring Ol

Of oPpressioni patience, Of lcng-sufering-
If the frst corruption be not sucked in from

AMEnIcAN NAVAL AcHnyRxEsr.-The iol.
lowing from the London Times Of January,
1912, will be read with interest at the present
time:--"" We witnessed the gloom which that
event (the capture Of the Guerrisre) cast over
high and honorable minds; It is not merely
that an English frigate has been taken after q
brave resistance, but Il has been BY new
enemy. The mourning for this last most af.
iecting event (the capture Of the JavG) can
never be laid aside till the honor Of the British
dag shall be redeemed BY establishing the
same triumphant superiority over the Ameri.
cans that we have bad over all the nations that
traverse the seas Five hundred British yes-
sells and three frigstes have been captured In
seven months BY the Americans. Can the
English people hear this unmovedf Down to
thsmoment not an American ffigate has struck
her flag. They insult and laugh at Us; they
leave their ports when. they please, and return
when Il suits their convenience; they traverse
the Atlantic !; they beset thswest India Islands
they advance 10 the very chops Of the Channel;
they parade along the coast q South America; /;
nothing chases, nothing intsrcepis, nothing en-

THE IiAfpS PAIR.
TRANSLATED FROM GOETHE.

II came and went so lightly,
That pleasant summer rain;
Now sec, dear wife, how brightly
Laughs out our own demain.
Far, far into the distance
The eager eye can roam,
But here is true existence,
And here d happy home.
Down Ay the pigeons cooing;
The pretty, graceful thingsl
so gentle in their wooing,
Beside the fairy springs,
Where, gathering flowers together,
A garland first l wove,
In bright and sunny weather, .
For thee, my only Lowell
Another wreath l plated,
As well rememberest thou,
That day when we were mated,
And took the happy vow.
The world was all before us,
To make or choose our way;
And years have stolen DER US,
Since that most blessed day.
Contented and caressihg,
What could we wish for moFo1 -
God sent greater blessing,
.a We counted three and four;
Two more have joined the party,
The little prattling elvesl
But now they're strong and hearty,
And taller than ourselves.
That story needs no telling;
l see you looking down
On yonder new.built dwelling,
Amid the pOplars brown.
May oil good angels guide himl
For there our eldest sits,
His winsome wife beside him,
Our own beloved Fritz. ,
How pleasant is the clatter,
Tis like measured reel,
As yonder falling water
Goes foaming DER the wheell
In many song and ditty, Ha
Are mixers wives called fair;
But none are half so pretty r.. .
As our dear daughter there.
All yes ! / do not wonder
Your eye should rest cen now,
Upon the hillock yonder, a.f
Where dark the tir-trees grow.
There lie our babes together,
Beneath the daisied sod
But they have seen Our Father,
And pray for US to God!
Look up look up for glancing,
The CLINT Of arms appears;
And sound of music dancing,
Strikes full upon my ears ! .-
With trophies carried DER them,
In freedoms battle won,
Who walks so proud before them?
IT'S Carl it is my son!
The Rose he loves so dearly
Is blushing on his breast
Oh, wife what follows nearlyi
Our hero's marriage-feast
Methinks sec the wedding,
The dancers aud the glee,
And merriest measure lreading,
Our youngest children three!
The happy faces round US
Will then recall the tide,
The blessed day that bound US
As bridegroom and as bride.
Nay, tarry here and listeni
Ere yet the year Is done,
Our good old priest shall christen
A grandchild and q son.
