Bringing Them Up.

4 good old lady whose grand children
play about her knee, remarks relative to
the training Of children:
Bad temper is oltener the result OF I'M
happy circumstances than OF unhappy
organization. 1t frequently, however, has
physical cause, and peevish child often
needs dieting more than correcting
Some children are more prone TO show
temper than others, and sometimes On ac-
count of qualities which are valuable in
themselves For instance, a child OF active
temperament, sensitive feeling, and eager
purpose, is more likely to meet with con
slant Jars and rubs than a dull, passive
child and if nc is OF an open nature, his
inward irritation is Immediately shown in
bursts OF passion.
If YOU repress those cbullitions by
scolding and punishment you only increase
the evil by changing passion into sulkincss.
i cheerful, good-tempefed tone Of your
own, a sympathy with his trouble whenever
lae trouble has arisen from no ill-conduct
on his part, are the best antidotcs; but it
would be better still 10 prevent beforehand
all sources Of annoyance.
Never fear spelling children by making
them too happy Happiness is the atmos-
phere in which all good affections grow-;hc
wholesome warmth necessary to make the
heart blood circulate heathily and freely
unhappiness, the chilling pressure which
produces here an inflammation, there an ex-
crescence and worst of all, the mind :

prepared. not only TO guard him against
excess. but to show him his weak places.
