Some Unique Arguments.

Mrs. G. f. Corbin wrote letter
against woman suffrage to the
Christian Union not long ago, in which
she drew an argument against woman
suffrage from the fact that there is
an age after which boy resents hav-
ing his mother Cor his father either,
for that matter) try to govern him by
physical force. Mrs. Corbin took the
extraordinary ground that this is be-
cause the boy has natural and di-
vinely implanted instinct that he is
"born to physical and intellectual
mastery over women and that the
manifest boy is the one who is most
inclined to despise his mothers
authority. The Sandwich GILL;
Argus sensibly says:
That mother is best loved who with
her womanly tenderness combines
the force to control her sons, and
thousands of mothers do that so long
as they live. We do not know
how much experience Mrs. Corbin
has had in bringing boys up to "strong
and noble manhood" but we have
had some, and have found that good
spanking was the surest corrective,
from the time "when manhood began
to stir his veins so that he thought
he was "born to physical and mental
mastery over his mother" until age
had given more sense. .

Fault-Finding with Children

Its at times necessary to censure
and punish, but very much more can
be done by encouraging children
when they do well. | have always
been more careful to express my APP
probation of good conduct than my
disapprobation when my children have
done wrong. Nothing can more dis
courage child than a spirit of inces-
SAINT fault-fnding. Hardly anything
can exert more injurious influence
upon the dispositions of both parent
and child.
There are two great motives in
fuencing human action-hope and
fear. Both of these are at times ne
cessary. But who would not prefer
to have her child influenced to good
conduct by desire of pleasing rath-
er than by the fear of offending? II a
mother never expresses her gratif-
cation when her children do well, and
is always censuring them when she
sees anything amiss, they are dis
couraged and unhappy; their dis
positions become hardened and soured
by this ceaseless fretting, and at last,
finding that whether they do well or
i'll they are equally found fault with,
they relinquish all efforts to please
and become needless of allreproaches.
