There are few intelligent American families

There is not magazine that is printed which
shows more intelligent pains expended on its
articles and mechanical execution. There is
not cheaper magazine published. There is
not confessedly, a more popular magazine in

Parental EgOtism.

There are very few parents who
understand that the element ofper
sonal feeling should be eliminated
in the management Of children.
The parent is a judge, and the Judge
should be dispassionate, else all au-
thority is weakened.
Let us see how it works. John
breaks a vase. His mother is very
much irritated at the destruction Of
her favorite vase, and Furnishes him,
not according to his sin, but ac-
cording to her annoyance. She
does not stop to inquire whether
or not the vase was broken by one
of those unavoidable accidents
which might have happened TO her
self or the most careful person. II
thus furnishing her son she has
been guilty Of selfish injustice and
of 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 aveDging her own
personal grievances.
A few days later this same John
is guilty Of an act morally bad. 1t
may chance that no evil eonse-
ouences follow. The mother is
glad to avoid trouble, and she lets
it pass with little or no admonition.
Johnny is q sharp boy, and puts
two ideas together very quickly.
at does not matter if ! do wrong" "
he says, "if I only don't bother
mamma. But must take care not
TO touch anything Of Ers, else I'll
catch it." It would be hard for
family government to do q child a
greater injury than 10 leave just this
impression on his mind. The
mother has succeeded in confound-
ing all moral distinctions in his
mind, has weakened all authority
and set the example Of seiGshaess,
cruelty aad injustice.
Most parents attach too much
Importance 70 the manner in which
their children speak to them. Sen
sitive as to their own dignity they
take umbrage at the disrespectfu
words that seem 70 infringe upoT
/ it, and they VISIT with their sharpes
Indignation this evidence Of an III
bred impudence in their child
They persuade themselves tha

They Read. But Don't PAY.

An exchange has the fcllowing;--
1T not unfrequently occurs, when
persons are asked If they will sub
scribe for a local newspaper, or if
they already take it, that they reply
-''No, but neighbor B takes it, and
l have the reading of it every week"
They are benefited every week by
the tolls, perplexities, and expendi
lures of those who receive nothing
from them in return.
To which the American Newspa-
per Reporter adds more at length
"The above truth should be cop
led and rccopied in every country
paper, until the trouble is abated.-
The publisher OF a newspaper, de-
pending rs he does, in a measure,
upon his subscription list for sup
port, naturally expects each family
who desires. to read his paper to sub
scribe for it, if they can afford it
Subscribers themselves as well as
publisher, find the newspaper bor-
rover a first class nuisance, for he
often borrows it as the owner is
about TO read it, retains it at certain
times when lie misses it, and too Of
ten, if he returns it at all, the paper
is in such & condition that no one
of nice sensibilities would care to
read it,

Level Uu.

Many persons are at loss to IN
derstand why it is that some new
towns-towns on a new line Of rail-
rord, for instance-go ahead Yigor-
Ously and grow rapidly into impor
tance, while others, similarly situa-
ted and with equal advantages, drag
on heavily or remain at a perfect
stand-still year after year. There
is a cause for every effect, however,
and the philosopher who takes the
trouble to look after The. cause asso-
ciated with the effects just named
will be likely to find it without any
very great expenditure of labor.
He will be likely to find it in the
conduct Of a few individuals-pos-
sibly in that of a single individual
at each town. We can best explain
by suppOsing a case.
We will suppose that two towns
have been laid off on a new railroad.
They are not far apart, but suffi-
ciently far not, necessarily, to inter-
fere with each others prosperity.
A. settles in one, and A. is a 60 a
head sort Of individual, who feels
that it is the duty of every man to
do all in his power for home. He
locates with the intention of making
the new town his place of residence
for all time to come; of helping to
build it up in order that his
own fortunes may build up with
it B. settles in the other. B.
is a good sort of citizen, and
would like to see his town prosper,
but he don't know that it ever will,
so he settles as a kind Of expert
ment. If it happens to prosper all
well and good, he will stay; if not,
he will, after giving it a fair trial,
seek some more fourishing locality.
A. goes to work. He makes the
new town his song and his theme,
heralding its many advantages far
and wide. He talks a number of
capitalists into organizing a compa-
ny and putting up a large factory
at his place. The factory makes
business for the railroad; he points
the railroad company to that fact,
and finally gets his town changed
from ''hag station" to a station at
which all the trains stop. Then it
becomes a wooding and watering
station, telegraph station, and, in
short, station of first Importance
on the line.
B. looks out from his quiet little
town above, and sees all this with
vexation and jealousy. He decides
that AS town is moving little too
fast for the times-is likely to ruin
the place at which its own lot is
cast-and so he busies himself
about laying plans for moving.

Girls. Don't Talk Slang.

Girls, dUn'tRkalk slang. Ii it IS
necessary that any one in the fami-
" should do that, let it be
your big brother, though I would
advise him not to adopt pigeon
English when there is an elegant,
systematized language that he can
just as well use. But don't you do
it. You can have no idea how it
sounds to ears unused or averse to
it to hear a young lady, when she is
asked if she will go with you to
some place, answer, 'Not much;
or if requested to do something she
does not wish, to hear her say,
"Can't see it."
Not long ago I heard a young
miss, who is educated and accom-
plished, in speaking of a young
man say she intended to ego for
him!" and when her sister asked
her assistance at some work, she
answered, ''Not for Joem
Now, young ladies of uneNcep.
tionable character and really good
education fall into this habit, think
ing it shows smartness to answer
back in slang phrases. and they
soon slip fippantly from their
tongues with a saucy pertness that
is neither lady-like or becoming. 81
bet'' or ''you bet'' is well enough
among men who are trading horses
or land; but the contrast is start
ling and perfectly shocking to hear
those words issue from the lips of
a young lady. They seem at once
to surround her with the rougher
associations of mems daily life, and
bring her down from the pedestal of
purity, whereon she is placed, to
their own coarse level.
