Saws one: This child was born with
proclivity for theft. for falsehood. for
anger, and can these original fenden-
cies be taken out Of him?n Perhaps
not entirely, but right alongside these
evil tendencies may be planted germs
Of principle, OF impulse and action that
shall by proper cultivation develop and
oyershadow and neutralize the evil ten

man out Of thousand narrownessess
and meannesscs. A great love Will

checked By the cultivation Of benevo-
lence: exact conformity of words to
facts may be taught in great variety
of ways; and as failure to speak the
exact truth is the commonest vice of
childhood land Of all morally weak
persons) it may be well to enlarge here
on methods Of teaching children to
speak the truth. In the first place. the
parent must set the example. If there
are degrees in wickedness, it Is more
wicked to lie to a child than to an adult,
yet many parents constantly deceive
and prevaricate when dealing with
their children. In the second place,
the first and smallest departure from
the truth in the child must be noticed
and corrected. gently, kindly and from
high moral conviction. The child
should never be driven to tell an un-
truth hy fear, and should in every case
be made to know that his untruths do
not in the least deceive. Learning 70
read with perfect accuracy will help o.
child tell the exact truth, because it will
form in him the habit of calling words
what they are, and train him in. obsery-
ing distinctions between things that are
different, and between things that are
similar but notidentieal. Teachers will
observe that children who are careful to
speak the truth are always better read
ers and better scholars than those whose
word can not be depended on. Hold
ing children to high standard of reel
tation in their various studies aids in
forming the habit OF veracity
1t Is only by the utmost painstaking,,
continued day after day and year after
year, that great virtues grow from ht-
tie seeds and great vices are cAeked,
little by little, till they are finally ex-

Drawing the Line at Snuif.

Mr.. c. o. Reach, of Johnston, has
separated from his wife under singular
circum stances. Mr.. Reach is about
sixty-t wo years old. and at least twice
the age of his wife, who is fine-look-
ing oman. Mr. Reach has never used
liquor, coffee, tea or tobacco in any
forrn during his lifetime, with the ex-
ceIdion that he once took a swallow of
tea in New York State, but ii made him
p'nspire so profuscly that lie never re-
p Gated the experiment. He used to be
'fcry sensitive TO the odor Of tea, and
could not bear 10 be in a room when
tea was being poured out, though he
says that he has allowed his present
wife TO drink tea and coffee. 1t seems,
however. that the lady also uses snuff,
and Mr.. Reach, oa discovering the fact
several months :go, gave her notice
that. any persisten sc in The habit would
bring about a separation. Finding, few
days ago. that She continued the use of
the snuff box, he took her into the city
to the residence of u relative, and there
left her, saving that no woman could
liw, with him who used snuff. The af-
fai has caused no Ettle talk in John
