DON NCOIu

For the sake of your children, don't
do it. 1t Is a great misfortune to have
children reared IN the presence and I'M
der the influence Of 4 scold. The effect
of the everlasting complaining and
fa~ult-tindIng Of such persons is to make
the young who hear it unamiabie, mali
cious, cailous-hearted, and they often
learn to take pleasure in doing the very
things Tor which they receive such
tongue-iasElags. As they are always
getting the blame OF wrong-doing,
whether they deserve it or not, they
think they might as well do wrong as
right. They lose all ambition to strive
for the favorable opinion of the fault
finder, since they see they always strive
III vain. Thus a scold is not only a
nuisance, but a destroyer of the morals
of children. If these unloved, dreaded
people could only see themselves as
Others see them, they would flee to the
mountains III very shame.

L.lEUI..

1t is Il mistake to suppose that labor
Is an unpleasant condition of life. 1t is
a matter Of experience that there is
more coEtentment in attending to any
kind OF occupation than there is in look
ing for some occupation. Attend, there
fora, to your business, and regard your
business as being worthy of all your at
tentiOn. Workingmen are apt to con-
slider that their occupations alone are
laborious, but in that matter they are
mistaken. Labor of mind is generally
even more fatiguing than labor of the
body, and 1t is quite TO sup
pose that others do not work as well as
we do, simply because their work is
different from ours. Labor is the earth
~ condition of man, and until the ma
ture of nan is changed, the want OF
something to do Will produce all the
horrors of ennui. Gambling and other
re~prehensible designations are all owing
TO the fact that human nature cannot
support a state of idleness. To live
without a purpose is to lead a very rest
less life.
