Train ysur Children.

One of the most serious evils OF the
present age is found in the recklessnese
and peryerse conduct of children. There
seems to be no restraint upon the passion
mo check to the evil propenslties OF the
heart-no disposition to merit the esteem
and good will of the virtuous and the
wise. The prevailing inclination OF chill
dren now a-dsys seems to be selfish, bent
on having their own way, and regardless
Of the feelings and sentiments Of the COM
munity In these circumstances little
good can be expected Of the rising gene
ration.
What, then, should be done to check
the growing evilY We answer, parents,
especially Christion parents. must 20 to

ing. No human influence is so vast and
efficient as that of parents, and especially
such parents as are animated by the kind
and benevolent spirit of the Gospel of
Christ. Hence, the constant reference to
the influence of parents on their children
the duty which they owe to their chill
dren--the obligations of the children TO
their parents, and other topics the same
kind, which we find in Holy Scriptures.
The Book Of Proverbs especially is replets
with such references, and with injunctions
the most solemn and interesting.
Parents are exhorted to train their chill
dren in "the way they should GO" and
the assurance is given them. that, "when
they are old they will not depart from it"
Children are also earnestly entreated not
to ''despise the instruction, exhortalion,
and corrections of their parents and these
entreaties are enforced by motives the
most various, solemn. and important
Interests of Infinite moment are suspend.
ed on the observance of these exhortations
to parents and children. Oh how much
sorrow do parents bring upon themselves
and their children by a neglect of these
sacred dutiesl How much disgrace do
children bring upon themselves and their
parents by disobeying the precepts of those
whom God has placed over them
Go. then, Christian parents-go earn
cstly forward in the way of training your
children for virtue and piety--for Christ
and his eaase-ieF- heaven and eternal
life ! Remember the precious promises
OF God to those who are faithful to their
solemn trust Let the souls of your chill
dren be very dear unto you-let their sal
walton occupy your chief attention In
every effort to implaut good and salutary
principles into the hearts of your children,
remember to invoke the blessing of God
upon your work In all your attempts
to restrain them from vice aud accustom
them to virtue. remember that only by the
regenerating power of the Holy Ghost,
can these attempts be successful ! To
sowing your ipirilual seed upon the hearts
of your children. remember that they are
Gods BY creation, by preservation, and
BY redemption. and that, therefore, they
should be trained for the kingdom of G cd
for the services of the Church-for the
llfeand blessedness of heaven II German

w 0man,s Education.

At no period in the worlds history has
woman occupied SO high position, intel.
lectually, az ut the present day; such is the
boast of our civilization. 1t is now a
question whether she can be taught
the abstract science and elements of a
classical education but she is drugged
with an indiscrminate tumble of dead
languages and living sciences. mathemat-
les and ethics, galvanized with snowy ac-
complishments-all completed and set out

such woman will be able to serve up to
her children, when, after few years civ

BILE life, she assumes new dignity among
the matrons of the land. There is no
doubt that woman is as capable of recejy-

AN IOWA SECESH NEWSPAPER OF
FICE DEMOLISHED BY SOLDIERS.
THE MOB QUELLED BY OTHER SOLDIERS
GREAT EXCITEMENT.

Especial Dispatch to The Chicago Evening Journall
KEoKUK, Iowa, Feb. 20.
At half past three o'clock yesterday after.
noon, about seventy-five convalescent soldiers
from the hospital marched to the Daily CON-
siitution Office, of this city, headed by three
or four persons with sledge hammers. The
greater portion Of them took stand along
the street, in front of the Office. Those with
hammers proceeded into the building, de-
molishing the press on the first floor, while
others went in and altogether cleaned the
room out. They then proceeded to the
second floor and cleaned that of type, &c.,
throwing them from the window. They de-
molished a press on this floor. They next
proceeded to the third floor, and demolished
another press and threw it out of the window
and had nearly cleaned the room of type and
all other fixings of the Office, when squad of
armed soldiers were marched in front of the
Office, and the ringleaders of the mob ordered
to make their men desist and form in line,
which was not done until the squad had been
ordered to take aim on the parties. Revolv-
ers and carbines were drawn by the GONZALES
cents, and threats made that if the squad
fired shot, they, along with their command
or, were dead men. The excitement was in
tense, but the convalescents were formed into
line and marched off, but not till the destruc-
ton of the office was complete. A part of the
presses were dragged to the river. K.

DEMoLlsHED.-By special dispatch to the
Chicago Journal which may be found in our
columns this morning, we learn that the Con-
stitution, a tory paper Of Keokuk, edited by
Judge Clagett, has been entirely demolished.
The paper has made itself obnoxious to the
loyal portion of the community, and especial
ly to the soldiers in the hospital, who, suffer-
ing from sickness contracted, and wounds
received in defense of the institutions, laws
and unity Of the Republic, could not bear the
ill-disguised sympathy with the rebellion, ex-
hibited by this paper. We do not approve Of
this method Of suppressing newspaper,
however, but editors should not give such
provocation.
