DON. i Boz Il he chilar.en'. Ears.

Why is it that parents will not use
little reason, and common sense when
they deem it necessary, to inflict corporal
punishment on their children, and not go
ut the job as II the child was made Of cast
iron instead of flesh and blood. The bar.
barous custom Of boxing children's ears Is
simply outrageous, andis deserving OF the
seyerest censure on, the devoted heads Of
parties thus, offending. The criminal
practice Of boxing the ears OF children Is
often productive Of much mischief, and
the dangerous results of such careless
modes Of punishment will sometimes re-
main visible as long as lie lasts. The ear
isa very delicate organat best2and re-
uuires the Cmostl careful treatment lest
some serious injury .ensues. A smart slap
on the side OF the face will often produce
partial and sometimes total deafness.
Such cases are by no means OF rare occur.
renee as any physician who. has investi--;
gated the causes, tending to produce sup.
preston Of hearing will testify, and even
complete idiocy has been traced :as the
direct consequence Of repeatedly boxing
childrens ears, to say nothing Of the nu-
merous brain diseases and other injuries
that have arisen from the same cause! l
hive noticed parents when their children
had committed some trifling misdemeanor
tly into a violent passion, and knock them
about right and left without regard 10
consequences. Now such unnatural
methods as these, taken to enforce obedi-
ence on the part Of parents are wholly
wrong, and are worthy OF the dark ages
from whence they sprang. Any person
who Is not capable Of keeping his own
temper under subsection Is utterly unfit
10 b0entrusted with the care Of children,
Notwithstanding what others may say TO
the contrary. IT. you cannot control your
children by means otgentle and loving
words, then you are obliged to resort
to physical establishment lori will not
do to let them.get,the upper hand Of you,
lest your authority over them Is ended
forever but letrsit be Of the kind that
lasting and pernicious diseases viii not
follow. In the wake Some parents do not
think It 10 worth while to ever speak
kindly to their children when they have
occasion 10 address them for anything,
but cross words, and cruel blows, are
considered more efficacious in their esti-
nation. In one sense they are right, for
children knowing what to expect Il they
disobey, will accomplish their duties
through fear; and you must not be sur,
prisedi II you find them practicing deceipt
upon all possible occasions. Parents who
do not bellevelin appealing the con-
science OF their children, but believe
whollyin the virtue o., the rod, will prob.
ably see theevil results arisingtrom their
mistaken management In rearing them,
when 1t Is too late to apply the remedy.
A child .thatis governed through fear
