To Mothers.

If you say no mean no. Unless you have a
good reason for changing given command hold
to it.
Take an interest in your children's amuse
ments; mothers share in what pleases them Is q
great delight.
Remember that trifes to you are mountains to
them; respect their feelings.
Keep up standard of principles; your chill
dren are judges.
Be honest with them in small things as well as
in great If you cannot tell them what they
wish to know say so rather than deceive them.
AS long as it is possible kiss the children good
night after they are in bed. They like it, and it
keeps them very close.
Bear in mind that you are largely responsible
for your child's inherited character, and be pa
tient with them.
If you have lost a child, remember that for
the one that is gone there is no more to do; for
those left, everything.
Make your boys and girls study physiology.
When they are i'll try to make them comprehend
why, how the complaint arose, and the remedy,
so far as you know it.
Impress upon them from learly infancy that
their actions have results and that they cannot
escape consequences even by being sorry when
they have done wrong.
Respect their little secrets; If they have con-
cealments, frettng them will never make them
tell, and time and patience will
Allow them, as they grow older, to have
opinions of their own; make them individuals,
and not mere echoes.
Find out all their special tastes and develop
them instead of spending time money, and
patience in forcing them into studies that are
entirely repugnant to them.
Mothers, whatever else you may teach your
girls, do not neglect to instruct them IN the
mysteries of housekeeping. So shall you put
them in the way of making some one happy.

A French Child,s Faith.

New York Observer.
Mr.. Greig, of the Mail Mission in Paris, stated
the following fact at meeting Of the Sunday
school Association
Having heard of the Petit Montrouge as one
of the suburbs most in need of the gospel he re-
solved to open Sunday school there il he could
hire suitable place at a moderate price. He had
looked in vain for some months At last, dis
couraged. he was about to give up all hope, when
on his way homeward he was stopped by poor
little humpbacked girl, who said to him: 20,
Mr.. Greig, have Sunday school herel We had
such nice one in Faubourg. ST Antoine! I was
so sorry to leave it, but my parents left Paris
to come here, and had to come with them"
MY little girl, there is not place to
be had in Montrouge. / have been several
months looking for one without success 20,
but yea win fnd one, she replied, for have
asked God for itn MI. Greig smiled and said,
May it DO so, my child; continue 70 pray"
Returning 20 Paris, he thought much on the
faith Of the little girl Two days after he was
