FAMILY DISCIPLINE.

There are a thousand ways Of administer
ing discipline without resortinR to the rod.
We remember tue course a mother took this
her children in the absence of her husband.
No sooner was the father gone. than her son
manifested a disposition 10 assume the rein
Of government. His mothers treatment and
conduct, though she spoke not word, were
calculated TO prove to her son ,hst her au-
thority was his law. The next morning, while
engaged in family prayer, he showed some
slight marks Of disrespect; this she passed
over in silence. W hen, ia The course Of the
same day, she made some remarks upon his
improper treatment of a younger brother, he
manifested the same spirit of disrepsect by a
peculiar curl of his lip, $50 often seen in lads
from fourteen to eighteen,) at the same time
calling the attention Of little sister to a cat
erpllar crawling on the floor; this too she
passed by, simply noticing the fact The fol-
lowing morning, when this disafscted son
entered the breakfast room, he did not, as
usual, bid his mother good morning. She
omitted to send him cup Of coffee. Pres
emily, with considerable politeuess, he re-
quested cup Of coffee, which was at once
granted. The younger brother, having caught
the same spirit of fiusubordination. was guilty
Of the same oferce. A cup OF coffee was, in
like manner, withheld from him.
The younger brother cautiously asked /,
"Aint going to have some coffee =
when you ask properly for it, and not
till them" was the mothers reply adding,
"when my sons forget to bio their mother
good morning, she will remember not to give
them a cup Of coffee.
On another occasion. a little boy in the
same family, who had been helped to some
honey eat it voreeiousiy, and without saying
any thing, held out his plate for more.
No one at the table appeared to notice this
rude conduct. He said, somewhat angrily,
"Give me some more honey"
al shall not help you to any more" was
the reply.
Then may help myself said the un-
mannerly boy.
you may leave the table" said his moth
er. "If you DO not know how to behave bet.
ter, you must hereafter eat by yourself,
The child, as usual, began to cry," and to
make bitter complaints.
"You may leave the table," said his moth
er, at the same time fJrbidding him to utter
a syllable and as he continued to pout, he
was sent by himself into an adjoining room.
THIS mode of punishment, subjectng chill
dren to some seli-denial, deptiying them at
once Of some lawful qualification, Hnaccon,pa-
MED by i0ord, probably will have more eff
feet in curing the faults of children, than an
ili-timed chapter on the rules of politeness, or
an hours lecture on the duty and importace
Of obedince to parents. 1t is believed that
sslntary discipline and restraints are more
frequently withheld from children to save the
feelings of naranta than Of THAR childran
That was wise mother who was frequently
heard to say, when her children needed re-
proof, al had rather see my children smart
in time, that they should burn to all etefni-
ty."-Dlother's Magazine.

BYB.P. WALTON
MONTPELIER, SEPT. %. 1865.
BY B.P. wALTor

Waton's journal has discovered that "in
Vermont it is not population that requires
city government, but crime and filth
Where this elegant and brilliant announce
ment is meant to hit might be doubtful, If it
were not for an accompanying intimation that
Montpelier "is clearly entitled to a city char
ter."-Frco Press.
We mean exactly that there is not a town
in the State where a city charter can be
necessary, except for more efficient protec-
tion against filth and crime. II that hits
any town, it deserves to be hit.
Our remark was not particularly designed
for Burlington, bat was general, and is corr
rect Perhaps we can phrase it so as not TO
offend our fastidous friend-thus where
the ordinary town or village governments are
not competent to enforce proper sanitary reg
ulations and give security to life, limb and
property, city government, with all its par
aprenalia Of mayor, aldermen, ward officers,
policemen, and fire department, is necessary,
whether the population Of the place be
crowded, like that Of New York, - consider
able, like that Of Burlington-or inconsider-
able, like that Of Yergennes.
Now we add that where this necessity does
not exist, it is unwise to adopt the cumber-
some and expensive machinery Of city gov
eminent. The foolish fancy, which has jot-
ted down cit es all over the West, wherev-
er any body could buy potato patch and
pitch tent, exposes the nation to ridicule.
Propriety and sound policy demand tha, the
town governments shall be as simple as pos
sble, and for good reasons there ought to be
as much uniformity as is possible.
In Vermont, for instance, we cannot have
liquor law, a military law, or any other
general statute, affecting towns, without
special provisions adapting it to cities and
it has happened more than once, we think
that special amendatory statutes have been
required when preceding legislature had ac-
cidentallv overlooked the ancient city Of
Vergennes. Traing as is the trouble of
properly adjusting the laws, such accidents
will happen, and sometimes perhaps serious
ly affect the legal rights or obligations Of
the cities.

The Richmond Whg of Tuesday prints
some interesting statements concerning the
application for pardon made by Gen. Rob
ert +. Lee. From the time, it says, Of the
issue Of President Johnson's proclamation
Of amnesty, Gen. Lee had determined to
avail himself Of the invitation, and bad
drawn up his application accordingly, which
was about to be Transmitted to Washington
when an indictment was found against him
and others at Norfolk. This circumstances
prevented Lees sending his application TO
Washington, but he enclosed 1t to Gen.
Grant, with note calling his attention to
what had been done at Norfolk, and remark
ing that II, according to his Gen. Grants un-
derstsnding Of the articles Of capituation,
be (Gen. Lee) was liable to indictment and
prosecution for treason, then he did not feel
at liberty to make the application Tor pardon.
But il Gen. Grants understanding were the
reverse then Gen Lee would be obliged to
him il be would forward the petition to the
President. Gen. Grant, il is reported, re-
sponded to Gen. Lees note promptly. and in
the most complimentary and friendly terms,
enclosing letter he had addressed to Wash
ington in forwarding the petition. taking the
ground that under the terms Of the surren-
der, the proceedings a. Norfolk were wholly

LOOK AFTER YOUR BOYS.

We cut the following suggestive article from

teaches to every parent in town to whom it
will apply. Portland is not the only place
where boys are allowed to stray away from
home and become apt pupils in the numer-
ous schools OF crime. Thousands are ''lost'

been properly looked after might have
proved valuable members of the commu-

boy sT."-Not long since we saw an
advertisement with the above heading, in a
daily paper. A description of the missing
youngster was given and reward offered for
his restoration to his parents. We subse-
queatly learned that the boy had been to
spree with some other precious bloods, and
after exhaustng the money purloined from
his mothers purse, returned of himself to his
fathers house. His parents were rejoiced
at his safe return, and hatered themselves
that he was found. We differ from them.
From what we know of the matter we think
the boy is still lost. IN fact, he was lost be-
fore his parents missed him. He Is now
more than dozen years old, and yet has
been allowed by his fond and wealthy pa
rents to roam the streets by day or night,

come in and out when he pleased. That boy
has been long "lost, "and so have thousands
of others in our large cities, albeit they at
tend their meals regularly, and do their
sleeping at home. Their bodies may be
found any day until they go off on spree,
but where are the boys? Where Is he inno-
cence and ductie spirit OF boyhood and

world will not bring these back. Only cor
rect parental control will drag them from the
dark and Shiny labyrinrhs in which they are
now wandering, and place them on the sun

land, and we need to have them good men
bat we shall have no lack OF rowdies and

are allowed to be roaming the streets after
