The MiSchievOuS Child.

Here is little child, who is
great tease and trouble. He is always
asking to do this or that impossible
or unpermlsSable action. He bursts
In abruptly upon the conversation of
his seniors. He destroys all peace
in the house by shouts and screams,
imperlous demands on the time and
attention Of every one, endless ms
terruptlon Of every ones affairs. He
is an imp OF mischief, breaking fur
nlture, over-throwing wristbands on
the carpet, setting fire TO valu>
able papers, driving nails into the
furniture. How shall you abate this
nuisance? You may try to destroy
these bad habits by scolding him, by
rebukes, by lectures, by punishments.
Inns IS one way, but not the best.
These bad habits often spring from
an instinct or activity, an intense
desire TO do something which the
Creator has given the child as
means OF mental and moral growth.
In trying to pull up the tares you are
IN great danger OF roofing out the
wheat also. Ii you succeed by force
In changing this disagreeable tor
ment OF perpetual activity into a
dull quiet, you have changed bright
boy into a dull one. a better way
than destroying this tendency is to
iuihIi 1t by giving him plenty OF oc-
cupatlon ofan innocent kind. Give
MIN heap OF sand TO dig in, blocks
TO oulid houses with, a box Of tools
and boards to saw. Set him at some
work, useful or interesting, or, at
least, harmless. He will like all this
better than he likes mischief. All
his irregular activity was cry for
something to do.

Did as the Rest Did.
From the Golden Rule.

From the Goldea Rule.
Doing Gas the rest do has ruined
thousands.
A young man is invited by vicious
companions to visit the theatre, or
the gambling-room, or other haunts
of Righteousness. He becomes dissi-
pated, spends his time, loses his
credit, squanders his property, and
at last sinks into an untimely grave.
What ruined him? Simply doing
what the rest did"
A father has a family OF sons. He
is wealthy. Other children in the
same situation of life do so and so,
are INDUCED in this thing and that.
He INDUCES his own in the same
way. They grow up idlers, trifiers
and tops. The father wonders why
his children do not succeed better.
He has spent so much money on
their education, has given them
great advantages; bat, alas ! they
are only a scource of trouble and vex-
alton. Poor man, he is just paying
the penalty of doing as the rest
did"
This poor mother strives hard to
bring up her daughters genteelly.
They learn what others do-to
paint, to sing, to play, to dance, and
several useful matters In time
they marry; their husbands are un>
able to support their extravaganza,
and they are reduced to wretched~
ness. The good woman is astonished.
"rrnly" says she,"I did as the rest
did"
The sinner, following the example
Of others, puts off repentance, and
neglects to prepare for death. He
passes along through lite till, UNI
awares death strikes the fatal blow.
He has no time left now to pre- pare.
And he goes down 10 obstruction,
because he was so foolish as to "do
as the rest did"
