Obstinate Children.

A friend once told me how, when child,
she was one day kept without food, and sent
to bed hungry and exhausted, for not reciting
some lines by heart, the punishment being
inflicted on the superstition that she was viii
fully obstinate. She said that she does not
now think herself to have been naturally OBJ
stinste, speaking generally; and. In this par
ticuiar instance, she added: "But what no
one knew then, and what l know as the fact,
was that after refusing to do what was re-
qufed, and bearing anger and threats in
consequence, lost the power to do it. Ibs-
came stone. The will was petrifed, and I
absolutely could not comply" She expressed
the conviction that the obstinacy was not in
the mind, but on the nerves, and that what
we call obstinacy in children, and in grown
people, too, is often something of this kind,
and thatit may be increased by mismanage-
ment or persistence, or what is called firm
ness In the controlling power, into disease or
something near to it--Dorothea in Ladies'
