Notice To Yacate

FSThe appointment by Gov. Swami
OF Registers who will execute the law in a
spirit of fairaess and liherality. has oaus-
ed great amount Of wriggling and squim-
ing among Radicals generally. This was
to have been expected, as it is tantaniount
to notice to these gentlemen to yacate
the positions they have acquired by fraud
and yialeaaa, and against the will of the
majority, who arc alone entitled to rule in
Republican Government. ,o' n4i 1..
' These positions, they had fattered them
selves, were theirs beyond oil question
for long years to come. They had legis-
lated to that end, and so certain were they
that they had effectuaIly shut out all oppo-
sition that they had already grown corrupt,

as masters instead of servants of the people
But "the best laid schemes of mice and
men go oft estray." Their plans have all
been frustrated-the props upon which
they relied to retain them in position have
been at one fell awoop swept from under
them. and they are about to be called to
meet face to face an outraged and in
dignant people. Is it then to be wondered
at that they wriggle and sq4irm. They
feel that they are already condemned and
that execution cannot be long delayed
They feel that the power which they have
welded to Cypress their fellow men ha.
passed from their hands, and that in the
hands of the oppressed swept retribution
will follow. They see in the mistp, distance
the overthrow ola corrupt partizan judi
ciary, foisted upon the people at the point
Of the bayonet, and with it, the downfall
of mob-law and violence, of which it has
long been the defenders, if not the pro-
moters. And with this will como the abo-

q Punishment should not be in
fiicted in any case without placing
clearly before the child's mind the ma
ture of the aggravation, and that the
sole design of the chastisement or re-
proof is his present and future well
fare.
S. In all cases where punishment is
decided upon it should be prompt, or
deferred, according to the degree of
aggravation or palpable wrong. 1t is
almost always better to defer; but in
such cases threaten nothing, say moth
ing, do nothing which indicates in the
slightest degree that anything is to
come. And when the time does come,
do not alarm the child with any show
of preparation, but gradually and af-
fectionately bring up the whole mat
ter: place it in its true, just and clear
light, and act accordingly; and always,
as much as possible, appeal to the
child's conscience, to its sense of right,
to its magnanimity, to its benevolence
toward men, and its gratitude toward
God. E

Correcting Children.

Not long ago an editor in the
Northern part of New York told his
son, about eleven years old, that he
would whip him in the course of few
hours, and locked him in an upper
room until he had leisure to do so.
When the boy heard his father COM
ing he jumped out of the window and
broke his neck.
About year ago, mother punish
ed her little daughter, of eight years,
by shutting her up in dark closet;
the child became so frightened that
commissions were induced, which re-
sulse in death. In another case of a
similar character, the result was still
more calamitous, for the child became
epileptic, and so remained for long
life afterward.
The object of parental correction
should be the ultimate good of the
child; and to make it effective,
/. The character of the punishment
should be according to the disposition
and temperament of the child
2. The punishment should be in
proportion to the nature of the Of
tense.
3. The punishment should be in
ficted with the utmost self possession;
for if done in a towering passion it
takes the character of revenge; the
child sees it and resists it with def
ance, stubbornness, or with feeling
of being the injured or oppressed
party.
4. Punishment should never be
threatened, for one of two results,
both unfortunate, is certain; the
promise will not be kept and the child
lose confidence in parental assertions;
or the child's mind, dwelling upon
what is expected, suffers heightened
torture, imagination always aggrava-
ting the severity of the chastisement,
and the child gradually learns to star
tie at every event which is at all likely
to usher in the correction, and the
foundation is laid for that fearfulness
of the future which is the bane of all
human happiness; and in some cases
the severity of the expected suffering
looms up so largely under the int1u
ence of distempered imagination,
that, as IN the case of the editor $
child, suicide is considered the lesser
evil. 1t is nothing less than a savage
barbarity for any parent to hold the
mind of child in a state of terrorism
for a single hour, let alone for days
and weeks.
). Never correct a child by scolding,
admonition, or castigation in the pres
ence of any other person whatever.
It is an attack on its self esteem, which
provokes resistance and passion. Let
/ OroyUD DarSonc racOIlect how i'll thew
bear even deserved reproof in the
presence of others.
6. Never punish a child twice for
