PARENTAL EG0TISM.-TheTe are very
few parents who understand that the
element of personal feeling should be
eliminated in the management of chill
dren. The parent is a. judge, and the
judge must be dispassiOnate, else all
authority is weakened. =
Let us see how it works. John breaks
a vase His mother is very much irri-
tated at the destruction of her favorite
vase, and Furnishes him, not according
to his sin, but according to her annoy
ance. She does not even stop ~toinquire
whether o not the vase was broken by
one of those unavoidable accidents
which might have happened to herself
or to the most careful person. In thus
Furnishing her son she has been guilty
of selfish injustice and cruelty. She has
weakened his respect and his affection
for her, and has done much to destroy
her authority. The child feels that his
mother is only avenging her own per
sOnal grievances. .es a
Al few days later this same John is
guilty of an act morally rs bad. It may
chance that no evil consequences follow.
The mother is glad to avoid trouble,
and she let's it pass with little or no adj
monitiOn. johnny is q sharp little boy,
and puts two ideas together very quick
ly. 1T does not matter that / do wrong
he says, "if / only don't bother mamma.
But l must take care not to touch any
thing of hers, else I'll catch it, it
would be hard for family government
to do a child a greater injury than to
leave just this Impression on his mind.
The mother has succeeded III confound-
ing all moral distinctions in his mind,
has weakened all authority, and set the
example of selfisllness, cruelty, and in
justice.-EHearth and Home.

The Ideal of Christ's Person n

The Christ Of painters is blue-eved
and gelden-haired, and such a one new
er existed save in their imaginatiOns.
a blonde IN the race of Syrian Jews
is unknown. He was a Jrun (since we
have no word III our language which
describes a man with dark hair and
eyes, and olive cOmplexiOn1 of that race,
There are pious people who have re-
course to miracle tomakeh him blonde,
with whom it is useless to argue.
Generally the stoutest defenders Of his
divinity believe that in taking on him
self mans nature he subjected himself
to the laws which govern it, and that
he thus inherited the characteristics of
the race from which he sprung. Leon
ardo, Guide, Raphael and other masters,
created their Christ, regardless of his
tOrical requirements, and invested him
with an ideal character which he new
er possessed, according to their idea
of the beautiful in art. Thismodel, once
imposed, has since been perpetrated by
all painters, because they think blue
eyes more spiritual than dark, and gold
en- hair more god-like than black. They
had an idea, too, that the Jewish type,
of face was ignoble, Which may have
had some foundati0nfr the degrade
ton to which the race was forced for
SO many centuries representing Chris
tians, and they thus had their preiu=
dieesagainst investing the Saviour with
the traits OF q people whom they des-
pissed. But the jew Of Syria in the day
and consequent ~debasement, perhaps
the equal Of the man of any other race
in point of natural advantages. There

THE MAILs.-The latestnews we have
had from New Orleans, up to Friday
evening, was contained in Tuesday
mornings papers. The stage arrives
regularly from New Iberia, notwith-
standing the Epizootic prevails all along
the line, but brings no city mail. The
great and continued irregularity of the
mails is said to be caused by the irregu-
larity or non4arrival of the mail boat
plying between New Iberia and Brashear
City. We discoursed so fully on this
subject last year, to NO purpose, that We
have paid but little attention to it this.
Every fall and winter the daily mails
between New Orleans and here fail about
one-third of the time. The mail boat
seems to be affected with something
more serious than the EpizOotic; and the
Government might just as we'll abolish
our daily mail, for all the good it does
as, or change the contractor. 1t is an
unmitigated humbug.

How TO MAKE SERMoNs.-Beecher
prepares his sermons in this wise: Du-
ring the week two or three topics lie in
his mind as those from which he will
most probably select hisgneXtF Sabbath
discOurses. His thoughts turn o them !;
his pencil sometimes, though not often,
jots them dOwn-the sermon, however,
is rarely definitely outlined I'M his mind.
Ask him ON Saturday night what he is
going to preach on Sabbath morn
ing and he can not usually tell you (;
Sabbath morning, after breakfast. he
goes into his study, feels his various
themes, takes one that seems the ripest,
sketches the outline, selects his text
and begins to write at first he writes
fully, but as time goes on his pen
leaves great CUPS, sketches only at
the beginning Of separate paragraphs,
then only the heads~sometimes- the
pencil finishes mp the hints in the pull
pit. His sermon at the beginning is
appoints you but as he warns he
grows more and more ahlivious Of his
notes; his imagination fills up the gaps.
and the pulpit completes what Che
study only begun. The manuscript
sermon is q literary curi0sity-@a study
in itself. After sermon he goes home,
eats a good dinner, goes to bed, sleeps
away the afternoon, rises to o cup of
coffee, and thence goes into his study
to bring forth the evening sermon by
q similar operation. This is all very
well for Beecher. But the country at
large is interested in seeing that, minis
tefs In geperal don't do likewise.

F1RE.-On Friday morning Of last
week, a fire was discovered in a closet
in the upper story of Judge B. A. Mar
tells residence near this town. The
closet was ceiIed inside, and opened by
a door into a bedroom, which was shut
at the time. 1t was used to stow. away
clothes, shoes, etc. Everything in it
was destroyed or greatly damaged, but
the fire had not burned through the cell
ing, having been somewhat smothered
blythe door being closed. It was quickly
extinguished by the free use of water.
There are two suppositions as to how
it caught. One, that a mouse OF rat
might have ignited a match, several of
which were known to have been lying
in a candle-stick ON one of the shelves
in the closet ; the other, that one of
these matches was lighted by a little
eolored girl who f~requented the house,
through sport or by accident.
We congratulate the Judge on the
saving of his residence, which he had
been at so much trouble and expense to
improve.

among those horses which had the least
discharge from the nostriis. The gene
raj snpposition is that the matter, I'M
stead of being discharged, passed into
the system, and now produces q species
of dropsy, the animals legs and body
swelling TO an enormous size. Several
animals have already died in great
pain from this new development of the
disease. The treatment adopted ID
rubbing the swollen parts with a lini-
ment composed OF caTlplIOr, hartsl0rn,
and sweet oil, and light doses OF physic.
Several valuable horses which have had
the disease, and I'd all appearances had
recovered from it, have, on being taken
ont and driven with some speed on the
road, been taken with a relapse from
which they have diedENeW York
