We self-satisfed Americans boast of

REARING CHILDREN.
Firmness tine Grand Essential In TheIr
Management.

Hood says of his Irish Schoolmaster"
that he spoiled the rod and never
spared the child" OF the two, perhaps
il is better to spoil the rod than the
child, but 1t is not necessary to spoil
either.
Firmness Is the grand essential in the
management of children. Nothing un-
reasonable should be required of them,
but that which is reasonably required
should be rigidly exacted The rules
laid down for their government should
not be harsh or severe, but they should
be like the laws OF the Medes and Per-
slams = absolutely imperative. No
''coaxing ways" OF the cunning little
creatures for whose good they are
framed should ever induce parent TO
violate them, or to waver in their en-
forcement No promise made to child
should ever be broken or evaded.
Boys and girls know how to observe,
and are more prone to initiate the
weaknesses and vices OF their teachers
than to emulate their virtues. II you
break faith with them they will fib TO
you. justifying themselves TO their little
consciences by your example. They will
tell you as much II you push them hard.
Never, therefore, attempt TO terrify
them by threats which you do not in
tend TO execute, or TO stimulate them
by promises of reward which you have
no thought of fulfilling
A doting, over-indulgent mother Is
the most cruel enemy child can have.
The insane kindness OF such mothers
has ruined thousands of sons and daugh-
ters who, under proper management,
would have been comfort and credit
to their parents. Compromises may
sometimes be expedient in politics-al-
though that is doubtful. II any whole
some principle is waived or sacrificed;
but In family government they are al
ways unwise. All this, II may be said.
