Duties OF n Mother.

She should be firm, gentle. kind, nj
ways ready to attend to her child. She
should never laugh Mt him-at what he
does that is cuuning-nevcr allow him
to tlinI; OF his looks, except to DO neat
and clean in NIL his habits. She should
teach him 10 obey a look-to respect
those older than himself; she should
never make command without seeing
that it is performed in the right manner.
Never speak OF the child's faults or
foibles, or repeat his remarks before
him. 1t is n sure way TO spoil n child.
Never reprove child when excited, nor
let your tone of voice be raised when
correcting. Strive to inspire love, not
dread-respect, not fear. Remember
you arc training and educating soul
for eternity. Teach your children to
wait upon themselves, to put away n
thing when done with it. But do not
forget that you were once child.
