chosen the ground which his soldiers Of two months

The CENSUS The inquisitorial
and manifestly improper inquiry
contained in schedule l, of the
census blanks. demanding the va
lue Of real estate and personal
property of each person whose
name is taken by the enumera-
tors, is the cause Of very general
complaint and might be erased
from the schedule with advau-
tage. The government not only
has no right to demand that such
questions shall be answered by
the citizens, but it cannot expect
that they will be answered cor.
rectly, unless a recourse is had to
thum bscrews and other reminis-
censes of the inquisitorial dun
geons of Torquemada in or Ter to
exact the truth from those who
are disposed to withhold it. -
Comparatively few persons
who have any property other
than a carpet bag and its contents
can answer, with even approx
mate correctness, blunt question
as to the value of their real and
personal property; and if it were
possible to dc so, still fewer
would care to give the desi, ed in.
formation, even to a census taker
The result, therefore, cannot be
of the least practical use to the
Government, and as the estima.
ted valuation Of all taxable pro-
perty can be obtained from the
records Of the various counties,
as provided for in another sche-
dule, it is quite superhuous to
demand any more specific state
ments Of the wealth of country
than can be obtained from, these
sources. ssSssoe -5t ~ eva-4a ~.

A Word to Mothers,

We have sometimes heard it
asserted that children's souls are
like sheet of white paper, on
which the mother can trace such
characters as she pleases. We
think this quite untrue. There
is great difference in natural tenn
perament; in the same family,
brought up under the same in-
hueEce, there is great diversity
of gifts and capabilities. We
think parents are too prone to
forget this and that sometimes un
favorable comparisons are drawn,
to the positive injury of leas ia
vored ones. 1t is a fact that
men are differently endowed
from the very commencement of
existence, and as parents VIC
should take heed, lest, like hard
hearted Pharaoh, we require
bricks without straw and demand
from a child that which it is not
in HIM to give.
How much wisdom, how much
tenderness we need to train our
children Alright! One child, per-
haps, is blessed with q happy,
sunny temper, which easily q
dapts itself to surrounding cir
cumstances- and sheds sunlight
all around. Another, not physi-
cally strong, is keenly alive to
every thing that is irritating, and
is excited by the merest trifles.
How much the latter needs gen.
tie kindness and forbearance, and
how careful we should be not to
draw invidious comparisons be-
tween the two! ,u, so q. qsa,x4al
1t is not strange that the Chris
tan mother should sometimes
feel well nigh overwhelmed with
the responsibilities resting upon
her. She knows that in this
wo, Id her children will exert a
constant influence for good or
evil, and that beyond, stretches
out an immortal existence of
happiness or woe. Painfully
conscious of the temptations
which will beset them on every
side, she trcmbles for their spiri-
tual safety. But, mother, do not
despond. One Almighty Friend
is ever near to guide and sustain
you. Strive faithfully to per-
form your own duty, and carry
all your cares and perplexities to-
One who has said, If and Of you
lack wisdom, let him ask of God.
thai giveth to all men literally
and upraideth not; and it shall be
given him. ."-(Ex ,4a6 81
