Nh. EDITOR EARLY life, or child
hood, is considered a critical period 10
oar existence, when habits are so easily
formed, and the seeds sown there take
root, and mature as we take part in lies
contests and denote the parts we have
chosen to assume.
If all children were organized precise.
ly alike, it would not seem so very
difficult to adopt a code Of rules or sys-
TEN for early instruction and culture that
would seldom prove a failure. But such
is not the fact. Children inherit a va.
riety of temperaments, and parents, guar
dams, apd teachers, TO be well fitted for
their responsibilities, should study well
the dispositions Of those intrusted to their
care, and carve their instructions and
discipline accordipgly,i if they would exert
a beneficial influence. Some children are
not susceptible to the restraints imposed
by fear, and any attempts to coerce them
by severe penalties are treated with scorn
aud derision, white others will kiss the
rod that smites them and avoid the often
ces that may cause a repetition.
The intractable are often led by kind
ness and forbearance. Many a parent
has driven the ~prodigal to hopeless ruin
by an unyielding sternpess and a free
distribution Of censure, who might have
been reclaimed with the fatfed calf and
tokens Of forgiveness.
Parents sometimes almost seem to cx
ult in the adversely that has overtaken
an undutiful child who has sighted their
counsels, and become involved in mis-
fortune, and not only refuse any available
aid or encouragement. but follow them
through life with petty expressions to re-
mind them of their fallen condition. But
no surrounding influence should induce
them to publish the faults of their chill.

mature old age are not exempted from

Among the Mountains.

The habit Of taking a vacation from
professional duties or business cares DUR
ing the warm season in the abandon Of
camp life among the mountains, or along
shore, is becoming more aud more preva-
lent, year by year. No one who gives
the sui ject the least thought will doubt
the value OF such excursions, and no one
who has enjoyed them, will fail to wish
for a repetition. The particular location
to be sought should oe determined by the
preferences of the excursionist. Enjoy
ment Of the excursion is an important ele.
ment in its health giving influence. Pure
air is a requisite, but this can be found
anywhere in the Green Mountain State,
as we'll as among the wilds of the North
woods of the Empire State. The Adj

any other, on account Of its extensive for

DOUBLE OFFICE HoLDINo IN ENGLAND.
Tho recent assumption by Mr.. Glad
stone Of the Office Of the exchcquer in
addition to that of first lord of the treas
ury has excited some comment among
British newspapers. The instances Of
one man holding two or more offices at
the same time in the British cabinet are
rare-probably not exceeding four since
the restoration of Charles II. The first
was that of Horace Walpole, who was
for a short time both prime minister and
foreign secretary. The next was that Of
and foreign secretary for a few weeks.
The third and most memorable instance,
however, occurred in 1880. In part of
that year the political situation did not
require that party lines should be very
strictly drawn. Several coalition cabi-
nets bad been attempted during Septem.
Der and October, but some of them ex-
listed only in name. About the LIST OF
November the duke of Wellington tried
to form a ministry but there seemed to
oc d taSil understanding uhhouS "'uiiauiS
cabinet candidates Of all shades Of opin.
ion that the duke must not be allowed to
succeed, He suspected the existence Of
this coalition to prevent his forming a
coalition ministry but, determined not
to be defeated, he astonished the people
and politicians by assuming the functions
of every cabinet Office and exercising
them himself for a month. The last ex-
ample in the list is that Of Mr.. Gladstone,
who has held the two off ces above demo.
ted since the It'll. Though rare enough
to arrest public attention Whenever il
occurs, the incumbcncy Of two or more
cabinet Offices by one man does not VIC
late the letter or the spirit Of the British
constitution.

forty years of age on Friday, but be did
not anticipate making any very great to-

A fue collation., plenty OF wine and good
cheer greeted them. Mr.. Ticknor was
