Finding Fault with Children.
INelU York Post. |

The perpetual attention which some mothers
and guardians give to children cannot be of
value to them-it is just as bad to develop self
consciousness in a child by noticing every fault
and every awk ward motion and act, as to stimu-
late spirit of self-satisfacton by praising and
applauding. 4 person is absolutely certain in
intercourse with men, and what we commonly
call the world" TO have his high estimate of
himself considerably lowered. There is very
little danger of ones thinking too loftily of
himself, after the first youthful outbreak of
the feeling that he is not only able to mold the
destinies of man, but that he is going to do it ;
but the timidity and distrust engendered by
habitual fault-fnding and criticism, he may
never be able TO overcome, and it may detract
from his power and force as long as he lives.
In little ways this is felt A scho0lmate of
my own, beautiful ald cultivated woman,
told me that b r mothers anxiety that her
daughter should have agreeable and easy man
ners led her TO remark upon every possible Oc
casion that she did not hold her head or her
hands AS she should; that unless she gave much
thought to il she would never succeed in ever
doing so, and so impressed it on a sensitive
girl that at 20 she always shrank and trembled

middle of Summer. The 6sh were jumping up
all over the lake, and they were biting splen-

precedes norther. l Immediately turned
away from the lake and looked toward the

After looking at the cloud short time
turned and looked at the lake, when, to my as
tonishment, the lake was frozen over and many
fish were lying on top of the ice. The fish had
jumped up, and tho lake had frozen over SO
quick they could not get back. Stranger, may

There was twinkle in his eyes as he entered
livery stable the other morning and proceeded
to look over the horses. When he had made
the rounds the proprietor asked:
Looking for horse?"
"Say. Eve one of my own, but neighbor
is continually bothering me to loan him the rig
for drive. Have you an animal which you will
warrant to run away?"
"You bet! That old roam there will make q
break before he is driven two blocks"
"Then l want to hire him this afternoon.
I'll give that neighbor all the buggy riding he
he wants for a year to come"
The horse was sent to his barn at the hour
agreed upon, and htched up for the neighbor
and his wife. Luckily for the wife, the horse
ran away before she got in, and she was thus
saved from big scare if not a case of broken
bones. When the animal was returned to tho
stable the proprietor inquired:
Well, warranted him to run away or no
pay"
Yes, he ran away"

IAug,lSta (Ga) Ctroniclel
Our friend c. F. Gunther, of Chicago, whose
collection of valuable manuscripts we have al
ready referred to, and whose scholarly tastes
are only equaled by his practical knowledge
and kind heart sends US a copy of the follow
ing letter from Abraham Lincoln, the original
of which is now in his possession:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 IS48.
DEAR WILLIAM: just take up my pen to say
that Mr.. Stephens of Georgia, little, slim, paie-
faced consumptive man. with a voice like Logan's s.

length | ever heard. My old, withered, dry eyes

The thousands of admirers of Mr. Stephens,
who never before saw this letter. will be pleased
to have and preserve it now in this form. There
was always bond of sympathy between Lin
coin and Stephens, in spite of wide divergence
of opinions and habits, before and after the war.
We do not know to what speech of Mr. Stephens
the strange and fateful man who wrote the
above letter referred to, but some of our old
readers may identify it.
The Logan to whom Mr.. Stephens was COM
pared vocally was Judge Logan, of Illinois, a
pioneer of that State and a local celebrity.
OF course the letter was written when both
Lincoln and Stephens were members of Con-
