The Rearing of Children. "
lFum the New Orleans Picayune. l

lFrom the New Orleans Picayunel
 There Is no art which Is so little, or SO imper- fectly understood, the art Of training children. Not through any lack of study, however, for I believe that parents in general heoriZers upon the subject to a very great extent.
 Long before they have arrived at the station of father and mother the idea has engrossed their attention--their walks n'life have led them here observation has taught that few children are reared properly Wilfulness, petuauce a spirit of rebellion under restraint, and all things which 20 to make children dsagreeable, they find to their hearts content and they forthwith bestow upon the matter a vast deal of thought. They can read fly perceive where the fault lies, and nwardy re- solve that when the time comes they will show to the world what children should be. Time usu- ally proves to them that theory and practice are words of entirely different meanings and they find themselves in turn the warning which others have been to them.
 To student of human nature, much interest is attached to the different conprehensions of the subject exhibited by parents in the training Of children. Some entertain as pet idea that stern ness and severity are the surest roads to success In the management of the little ones, crushing out of the young heart the lia affections of chilG hood, gaining obedience or submission (not love- through fear, and parting wider and wider the heart of parent and child.
 How ptifull How sad the thought that the spirit which shoulc be nurtured beneath the skies of affections best love- cherished as something too sacred for the bestowal of one unkind thought should be thus cut to the earth and trampled in the dust.
 Others, extremists of another kind, lavish up. on their children affectionate tenderness and love 10 that extent that they become blind to the faults of nature, and humored, petted and indulged-the dear things-result in perfect types of spoiled children and of all things disagreeabe upon earth there is nothing much more so than spoiled child.
 It may be true that:

 And doubt not that many parents use that bit of moral philosophy to console themselves for the evil results attendant upon their efforts to "bring up family" Like "Topsy," their chill dren were not raised-they "growed."
 The theory that children should be an honor to their parents for the reason that they have been the of care, trouble and anxiety, is a vicious one; as if children had a voice in their creation, and should be made responsible for the burden no other means can. A loving parent will be to a child lifelong remembranee-a sweet recol- lection; and who that has felt mothers love, but will echo these thoughts with energy and hal low them with tear.

The Washington Patriot says:
"One. of the first duties of the
Democrats, after the meeting of
Congress, should be to demand
an immediate reduction of the
army. If national troops arc on

and TO be transported from place
to place at the peoples expense
to promote the behests of party,
then the time has come when.
the army shoukt be cut down to
the actual wants OF proper mill
tary service Or be disbanded.
This is the day and the hour to
strike down nsuroation, before it
becomes formidable by habit and
dangerous by. abuse.' We hearth
ly indOrse all the. The regular
Srmy has become n by-word and
scandal to the American people.

troll local elections and subvert

lection of the frontier from IN
dian depredations. 1t is dis
graceful hat the peoples repre-

Usurper with the bayonets and

ern States.
You request me, in behalf as
you believe, of the legally quali-
fed voters of the Third Congrs-

right of my competitor, Colonel
Campbell. to seat in the Forty
second Congress, Rejecting on
your communication in connec~
ton with like demands made up
on me, in writing and orally, by
a large number or the voters.
1 have not felt quite clear as
to the course which duty to my
self and others, required me to
take. But a written appeal hav-
ing been made to me to the same
end signed by more than three
ofthe disabled soldiers
of the National Assysum in this
county, whose votes for me were
offered and refused, I feel con-
strained to yield to their special
claim on me.
You are aware SIS are my con-
.~stituepts generally, that l be-
came reluctantly a candidate for
reelection; and even if l had
been never SO desirous of con-
tinuiug in Congress, l have no
taste or approval for contested

stances But convinced thai l
am justly and fairly entitled to
the seat; and desiring to afford
an opportunity to vindicate their

What our Noble Presi
dent Is Fit For.

- ESeOG USSH OOGC COO
deNst Is Fit For.
Here is something in Grants
line. Being acquainted. with
both articles he should mount a.
barrel of whisky and sit, like Solo
mon, With a cheese-knife in hand
aud an impartial Judge. The
Gaze is this:
Mr.. Fairwell; a loyal delegate
occupying the position of post
sutler at Fort Peck. anxious to
fit himsel as a candidate for the
Presidency, purchased a squaw
from al Indian. In payment for
this smoked concubine, Mr.. Fair
well gave a horse which he had
ridden and pronounced "satisfac-
tory" aud which the Indian
could have in payment for the
squaw, providing she should
prove satisfactory" ct cetara,
&c.
The Indian tried the horse and
and was satisfied. Mr.. Fairwell
the loyal %postsutler at Fort Peck
tried the squaw and was not sat
isfed; whereupon he escorted the
fair and frail bead-wearer to her
Iudiau master, and demanded
his horse. Then said. the Indian
AUgh! Me likee horse-me
likee horse very good. Me- like
pony some? Me like horse heap
Me big ingin-satisied with
horse much. You takee squaw-
go to Dr.
Was ever auch profanity heard
Mr. Fairwell objected to tramp
ing In the wake of several of his
Industrious Republican predeees-
sors, shook the squaw from him,
] as st. Paul did the copperhead
which wrapped itself like a wet
garter around his arm, seized his
horse, and started for camp.
Then the spirit of the %untutor-
ed savage did wax vehemently
dangerous. He seized inatru-
ments of warfare, and advanced
upon this branch of the Govern
ment with u~proarious turmoil.
He declared war; then, and
there upon his own hook, and,
to recover the property which he
thought by right his own did
snatch Mr.. Firwell the loyal post
sutler; nearly bald, headed. The
'ilsquaw patterned after Zaccheus,
and went up q tree, just as q
teathery arrow from the Indians
bow lit into the feshy portion
of good Mr. Fairwell, making
him appear like a new style OF
an ink-stand with q solitary pen
sticking therein.
When last heard from Fair

If Grant should not do justice
lin this matter, he is unworthy of
being honorod by having wood
carvedin his image to be used
for tobacco-signs, Let the troops
which were quartcred in New
York during the election, be
sent out with drums and other
flying artillery to capture this
belligerent red man, and to teach
him that post-sutler has rights
even that one of these rights con-
sists in swapping off q Govern
ment horse for q Government
squaw. Then let the horse and
squaw be SAINT on to Grant. who
after due trial, shall pronounce
which is the most satisfactory"

successful competitor with q lit
