How to Speak to Children.

The following excellent advice to parents
we find in the Country Gentleman.
"The usual way of managing children is
by corporal punishment, deprivation OF
some desired luxury or favor, or by rewards
addresses, to the senses, and by word alone.
There is another means of government, the
power and Importance Of which are seldom
regarded. We refer to the human voice,
By its tones animals are governed, horses
cattle, dogs, even cats ale controlled by its
power and influence A few words uttered
in soft tore are found to possess magic
influence and harsh, cross tones, though
the words may not be of their nature, rasp
the mind and heart of the hearer. A blow
may be inflicted on agchild accompanied with
words so uttered as entirely to counterfeit
its effect; Or the parent may use language
during the correction of his child, not OBJ
jeetionable in itself, yet spoken in such tones
that the influence of The punishment is ut
terly defeated.
''The baby in the cradle recognizes the
power Ct the voice. If harshly spoken to,
its little lips will culver and tears will flow.
It cannot discern the meaning Of the words
that are uttered, bu its heart is touched
and hurt by the tones of the voice. Many
persons laugh at the so-called baby-talk,'
but the little one jumps and crows when it
hears the low, soft tones and words. Is
I this influence confined to the cradle ? No,
indeed every age feels it, recognizes it,
and it does not cease while the child remains
at home.
"Does your boy grow rude in manner
and boisterous in speech Then speak to
him gentl y-remind him in tender tones,
with loving words, and caresses. She who
speaks to her son harshly does but give to
his behavior the sanction of her example,
and pours oil on the already flaming pas
sion and temper.
"When cares Cypress, and duties crowd
US, we are all liable to utter hasty words
perhaps threats are expressed in loud, irri-
tating tones. Do they allay the passi ms of
the child, already at a white heat ? No,
they increase them. Every fretful express
ion you utter but awakens in him the same
spirit which produced it. On the other
hand, pleasant voice and soft words call
up agreeable feelings, soften the heart, and
make this angry passionate child ashamed
Of himself Therefore, remember this,
Mothers and Fathers Whatever DISPOSE
ton you desire to encourage in your child
rem, you must manifest it in the tone of
voice in which you address them

Poetry.
The Old Homestead.

All here it is, that dear old place,
Unchanged through all these years;
How like some sweet, familiar face,
My childhood home appears
The grand old trees beside the door
Still spread their branches wide,
The river wanders as of yore,
With sweetly murmuring tide;
The distant hills look green and gray,
The flowers are blooming wild,
And everything looks glad to-day,
as when I was child.
Regardless how the years have flown,
Half wondering stand,
catch no fond, endearing tone,
clasp no friendly hand:
think my mothers smile to meet,
list my fathers call,
pause to hear my brothers feet
Come bounding through the hall;
But silence all around me reigns,
A chill creeps through my heart
No trace of those l love remains,
And tears unbidden start.
What though the sunbeams fall as fair,
What though the budding flowers,
Still shed their fragrance on the air,
Within life's golden hour?
The loving ones that clustered here
These walls may not restore;
Voices that filled my youthful ear
Will greet my soul no more.
And yet quit the dear old place
With slow and lingering tread,
As W hen we kiss clay -cold face,
And leave it with the dead.

attached a golden medal bearing the efigy

hat Of violet velvet, with long white
plume, was slouched over his face, hiding a

BE Manly.

Never try to keep out Of ones way when
you are owing him anything, unless it is a
threshing 1t is bad enough in all con-
science, to be in debt, but don't make your
condition worse by growing mean under its
pressure. When you absolutely cannot pay
up at the appointed time, don't make him
! believe You are sick, don't skulk about in
any out of the way-streets to avoid meeting
your creditors, don't sneak around the ffst
corner when yon catcI sight of him before
be has seen you. All such conduct is un-
manly. No doubt you're averse to stand
face to face with a man to whom you are a
debtor, payday past and you are debtor
still-it is mortifyiug, very but it is only
one Of the natural consequences of borrow
ing and as you have incurred the penalty,
why meet it like man. Face your credi-
tors, let him know you neither forgot the
debt nor underrate his patience to you -
Say frankly that you are very sorry to keep
him so long out of his money, and that you
will pay up as fast and as soon as you can
This is the only way to conduct yourself
in the ca,e. There is no respect due to
men or women who failing to be able to meet
their payment at the proper time, instead of
going at once and explaining the reason
Why they fail, and do and say all they can
to assure their creditors that they mean no
dishonesty, just sneak about carefully anxi
Gus only to shun the creditors sight. Be

Truthfillness.

Of all happy households, that is the hap
piest where falsehood is never thought Of.
All peace is broken up when once it appears
there is liar in the house All comfort
has gone when suspicion has once entered
when there must be reserve in talk and re-
servation in belief. Anxious parents, who
are aware Of the pains Of suspicion, will
place general confidence in their children,
and receive what they say freely unless
there is strong reason to distrust the truth
of any one. If such an occasion should un-
happily arise, they must keep the suspicion
from spreading as long as possible, and
! avoid disgracing their poor child where there
is chance of its cure by their confidential
assistance. He should have their pity and
assiduous help, as if he were suffering I'M
ders some bodily disorder. If he can be
cured, he will become duly grateful for the
treatment. If the endeavor fail, means
must Of course be taken to prevent his ex-
ample from doing harm; and then as l said
the family peace is broken up, because the
family confidence is gone.
fear that, from some cause or another,
there are but few large families where every
mamber is altogether truthful. But where
all are so organized and so trained as to be
wholly reliable in act and word, they are a
light to all eyes, and a joy to all hearts,
They are public benefits, for they are a
point of general reliance and they are pri-
vately blessed within and without. With
out, their life is made easy by universal
trust and within their home and their
hearts they have the security of rectitude
and the gladness of innocence.
