Eight to Sixteen.


Lord SALISBURY lately stated in a
public meeting in London that, from
personal observation, he had ascer.
tained that of adult male criminals Of
that city; nearly all had fallen into q
course Of crime between the ages Of
eight and sixteen years; and that, If
a young man lived an honest life up
to twenty years of his age, there were
forty nine chances in favor, and on
ly one against him, as to an honora-
bic life thereafter. ~ sa r ~
This is a fact Of singular import
ance to fathers and mothers, aud
shows a fearful responsibility. Ger
tainly a parent should secure and cx-
ercise absolute control over a child
under sixteen. 1t cannot be a diff
cult matter TO do this, except in very
rare cases; and if that control is not
very wisely and efficiently exercised,
it must be the parents fault; il is
owing to parental neglect or remiss-
ness. Hence the real source ofcrime
in such country as England or the
United States lies at the door Of the
parents 1t is fearful reflections

Effect of Forgiveness.

A soldier whose regiment lay In q
garrisoned town In England, was
about to be brought before his coc-
handing officer for some offense. He
was an old offender, and had often
been punished, "IIere he is again, :"
said the officer, on his name beibg
mentioned; everything-.Aoggin
imprisonment-has been tried with
him" Whereupon the sergeant step
ped forward, aud apOlogizing for the
liberty he took, said:
"There is one thing which has new.
or been tried with him yet, SIR"
"What is that2' was the answer.
"Well, sir" said the sergeant, "he
has never been forgiven" 10 lf-r
"Forgiyenl' exclaimed the colonel
surprised at the suggestion.
lie reflected for few moments, or
dered the culprit TO be brought in,
and ASKED him what he had to say TO
the charge. t lad
"Nothiug, sir" was tho reply; '"on
ly am sorry for what l have done.'
Turning a kind and pitiful look on
the man, who expected nothing else
than his punishment would be To-
creased with the repetition of his Of
fense the colonel addressed him, say.
ing, "well, we have decided to for
give you"
The soldier was struck dumb with
astonishment; the tears started in his
eyes, aud he wept like a child. He
was humbled TO the dust; he thanked
his officer aud retired---to be the old
refractory, incorrigible manp No; he
was another man from that day for
ward. Tie who tells the story had him
for years under his eye, aud better
conducted man never wore tho
Queens colors. In him kindness
bent one whom harshness could not
break; he was conquered by mercy
and forgiveness, aud ever afterward
feared to offend.

This summer he has made a tour in

ness Of power; now, he is crestfallen
and retiring. Then, he denounced
his opponents as traitors; now, he is
content with asserting that he has
done his best. Then he prated OF
power 70 proclaim himself dictator;
now, he is very humble, because he
has been stripped of every dangerous
discretion. Theu he imagined the
people were on his side; now, he has
discovered they have no confidence in
him. Then, he vaunted his inten-
ton to kick men out of office; now, he
Is bound hand aud foot. Then, he
fancied he was sovereign and could
make aud unmake States at will; now
he has found out that the people hold
the supreme authority, aud that he
must submit his will to their judg-
ment. Then, he did not hesitate to
arraign members Of another depart

criminals for daring to resist his usur.

bilities; now he dare not inveigh
against them, although they have re
stricted his privileges 10 his own Of

tioual limits. This change in the
tone of his speeches aud his general
bearing before the people is decided
and remarkable But the credit Of

people wrested from him the power TO
do much harm, and shamed him into
compliance with the code Of official
