Essay on
How to Populate HaleS.
As Hell is i 'pcn'lant on parents for
it's material, and as so many parents,
Judging from the manner in which they
raise their children. Cor rather let the
children raise tIlcmSelvrs) are willing to
furnish that material, desire to make a
few suggestions which think will Sc
cure success if diligently carried out.
lst. Every time your child cries for
any thing be sure to give it to him. and
this will greatly encourage him to cry
again, and tho second time spank the
child, and this will give it an uneven
temper and learn it early how inconsis-
tant people are.
End. When the mother asks the son to
do something. let the father whisper ia
his ear II won't do it, and if the mother
has cause at any time to chasti>c the child
let the fataer take the switch amt break
it ny. This will learn the child to BE- in
s,llting and rcbcllious both at HON" and
abroad.
:}rl. When Your boys get ten or twelve
years old. let them run at large on the
streets, and select their own company
Furnish them with money, and the Older
boys will learn them to gamble, and
while learning that, they will also learn
how to swear, and the next year they will
acquire the use of tobacco. and the next
year fonjncss for spirituouS liquors.
4t(,. Cultivate in your children great
er t0ndneSs for amusemcnts than for reli
gious services, be more careful to dress
them up for the circus and the theatre
than for church, this will create in them
in inor,linate love for pleasure, and then
they will be sure to use the Holy Sabbath
which their God had consecratcd for Holy
nses, for fishing, hunting, swimming,
strolling, drinking, gambling, &c.
5th. DO not train your children to Ia
hor and habits of industry. let them
lounge around and openly violate that
essential portion Of the fourth command
ment Six days shalt thou labor" Then
how aristocratic they will appear sitting
down with their white hands in their
pockets behind big crooked stem pipe,
at the corner of some street where young
men without dollar in their pockets
should neverb be seen, bemeaniug the coun
try and avowing that under the present
labor system our State will never be worth
cent.
Under this training yolr boys will soon
graduate. At ten or twelve years of aye
they will have such fine start that they
will be enabled to proceed in the school
of vice without your further ail-they
will be eligible to seat in Hades before
they are eligible to a seat in the Legisla-
turc There is promising lot of such
coming on not more than 900 miles from
the centre Of our little city. This is evil
denced by boys hunting, fishing and ronl-
ping on the Sahbaths-and by being
stunned with red-hot saths from the
mouths of yearings in our streets.
