one mornlng followed him to Isord Win

to speak with him. Lord Bath came down,
and said:
"FelItw, what do you want with mel"

ever he could bawl, before all the servants.

then would not see him. The next Sunday,

1t is at times necessity to ceusur6 and
punish. But very much more may be done
by encouraging children when they do we'll.
Be, therefore, more careful to express your
appreciation Of good conduct than your
disapprobatiun Of bad. Nothing can more
discourage child than spirit Of lncessant
fault-tnding on the part Of its parent; and
hardly anything can exert q more injurious
influence upou the disposition both Of the
parent and child. There are two great mo-
tives influencing human actions-hope and
far. Both Of these are at times necessary.
But who would not prefer to have her child
influenced to good c''nduct by desire Of
pleasing rather than by the fear Of offend.
Ingl II mother never expresses her
gratifcation when her children do well, and
is always eensuring them when she secs
anything anaiss. they are discouraged and
unhappy. Their dispositions become har
dened and soured by this ceaseless fretting ;
and at last, finding that whether they do
well or i'll, tEey are eqnaity found fault
with, they relinquish all efforts to please, and
become Needless Of repFOachcs.
