While parents teach their children the
great wrong of taking the property of
another without compensation, the duty
of teaching them the greater wrong of
running another's reputation, is almost
entirely neglected. The result OF this
neglect is that our schools are often tho
hot. house Of Satan, where he plants the
seeds of calumny, and rears the young
sprouts of malice and envy, which be.
come barbed arrows which rankle in
wounded hearts. Regulations are tossed
up and down rs thoughtlessly as the
school.boy tosses his ball.
A healthy home tiaining would tend to
correct this evil. Let the children know
that the penalty for SANDER is as severe
as that for theft that the crime against
the victim is far worse, both in the esti.
nation of the laws OF society and the
laws of God, and this wholesale robbery
of that which is dearer than life itself
would not be so common as it is now
But. alas, not only is this duty of home
training neglected, but TOO often is it the
case that the children have the example
of their parents to prompt them in their
evil work

am inclined to think that this was not
n peculiarity of Athens alone. You will
even now find persons OF this class in al
most every village. As II general rule,
they are persons who read but very lit
tie, if at all. and the range Of subjects
for conversation is necessarily limited
The village and its surroundings must
furnish the new subjects to be told and
heard. A natural result of this is, that
the reputation OF this or that person is
brought before some audience in some
store or work shop, to be examined by
some goods-box chemist, who has be-
come noted for his skill in detecting
dross in the purest regulations. Ii by no
means follows that the conclusion arrived
at in such an analysis is always correct.

it would tend very much to The peace Of
