Children arc susceptible creatures, and cir
cumstances, scenes and actions always impress
them. AS you influence them, not by arbi-
trary rules, not by stern example alone, but
in the thousand other ways that speak
through bright scenes, soft utteranco and
pretty pictures, SO will they grow. Teach
your children to love the beautiful. Give
them corner in the garden for flowers en-
courage them to put in shape the handing
baskets, allow them to have their favoritc
trees lead them to wander in the prettiest
woodlots, show them where they can best view
the sunset, rouse them in tho morning, not
with the stern "time to work." but with the
enthusiastic "sco tho beautiful sun rise !"
buy for them pretty pictures and encourage
them to decorate their rooms, each in his or
her childish way. The instinct is in them.
Give them an inch and they will go mile.
Allow them the privilege and they will mako
your homes beautiful
| BURYING ALlyE.-This mode of punish
mcnt was occasionally resortedto by the Jews
and other nations of antiquity. [Ierodotus
mentions burying alive as a Persian custom,
and states that Xcrxes buried alive nino sous
and nine daughters of tho Edonians; and
that Amcstris, the wife Of Xerxes; in her old
age ordered fourteen children. selected from
tho bost Persian families, to be buried alive
in order to show her gratitude to tho god un
der tho earth. In ancient Rome it was tho
punishment awarded to the ycstal virgin who
violated her vow; and during the Middle
Ages, the religious were for similar otlonct
subjected to the same penalty. Sir Waite,
Scott, in "Mcrmion" describes tho manner
III which it was carried out. The culpri
was placed in small ncho made in the mas
slyo wall Of tho convent, slender meal Of
water and bread was deposited in it and at
the words poac IN pace, tho opening was
closed. Skeletons have been discovered ii
an upright position in tho ruins oe alb.
beysi ip England, and it is probable they arc
the remains of persons who had been fo1
some offence or other immurcd. IT was a
