mother, resort to a combination from
COW or pump. The child of any class
sees little Of its mother. The nursery
or the street, the school or the workshop,
keep them apart. The daughters grow
up to early womanhood with too much
knowledge Of sexual matters or none at
all. And those who are accounted the
best mothers are those who withhold
from their young daughters all the IN
valuable stores of information which
their experience has provided ready TO
hand, and which, if discretly commune
Gated. would save thousands Of girls
from ruin or disgrace.
Practical philosophers have recon-
mended that women on the way to be
mothers should exercise the greatest
care. not only in what they eat and
drink. but also in what they feel and
think: that they should give way to no
excessive emotion, and should read
books Of history or other lofty thought;
in a word. that they should try to feel,
think and do whatever is worthiest. 1t
is we'll known that children have been
born IDIOTS through the mother having
used stimulants to excess; that they
have been produced deformed through
her having been ordinarily frightened,
and even with broken limbs from the
fright of thunder or cannonade. Her
emotions, therefore, are proved to af1ect
her unborn child more than herself.
Every mother who is able should
suckle her own child The reasons for
this are too numerous to enumerate, and
should be obvious to any intelligent wo-
man. The practice of wearing ligh.
clothing over the bosom should never be
INDUCED IN by girls and young women,
as it checks the growth of the lactifer-
Gus glands as we'll as the beauty of the
bust. Non-use for generations will
eventually reduce them to mere en-
bryos.
Every mother should give her child a
fair share of her companiOnship. What
can we expect from children if they are
left almost entirely to menials or mer-
cenary nursing? The death rate of the
little ones is enormously high. May not
this be largely owing to the want of a
mothers loving care and watchfulness?
1t is only in the case of a fOolishly in
dulgent or a wickedly severe mother
that the child is better off with a sensi
Bile nurse.
The training of a child should begin
with its earliest intelligence. Good horse
breakers say that to acquire perfection
in training the colt or FLY must be ia

MOTHERS AND THEIR DUTIES.
BYLAOY COOK, ne. TENNESSEE cIAFLIN.

The position Of mother is so oner-
Gus and entails so many high response
bilities. that no one should undertake
it without much thought aud a full as
surance of being worthy and capable.
No other office on earth is so sacred as
this, no calling involves so much. For

mental and moral capabilities will be
largely transferred. Her conduct will
give a perpetual bias 70 It's life. 1t is
impossible. therefore. to eXaggerate the
Importance Of a mothers influence.
An immense proportion of women,
however, undertake the duty without
the least fOrethOUght or consideration,
without Weighing their own fitness for
mothers or that of their husbands for
fathers. Hence arise much misery,
many unhappy homes and wrecked lives.

FOUR XMAS THOUGHTS.
IngersOll, Potter, Lyman Abbott and
a Christian Scientists.
Also the Atheists Idea-He APP
plauds the Day and Calls 1t a
Voyage to Fairyland-Is the Reli-
gious Meaning of the Day Dying
Out.

New York, December 16.-Men have
differed about religion since the crea-
ton of the world, and they will go on
differing as long as the earth lasts; but
on the subject of the Christmastida sea-
son-a season so replete with religious
meaning and women Of all be-
l.efs and no beliefs at all agree in the
main and applaud the day which show
ers so much happiness upon the uni
verse.
This fact is aptly illustrated by the
following views on the Christmas sea-
son made by four leaders of religious
and anti-rel.gious thought. Two of the
views represent orthodox religion, one
represents the Christmas idea Of the
most formidable foe of religious belief
of the day. and the other represents the
idea of what is generally described as
mistaken religion. These views speak
for themselves.

The Conventions Work.

A brief summary of what has been
acc omplished by the Convention may
be Of s,me interest to out readers.
Oa the whole it has done great deal
ofwork, but q great deal Of time was
consumed in discussing matters III
which the public was not much Interest
ed.
Articles under the following heads
have been completed: Executive &C
partment, impeachnlents, municipal
corporations and polio. :Feg0lationS,
and miscellaneous, and thes legislative
department is practically finished.
Most of the articles that have been
completed are similar to the articles
in the old constitution, but many very
important changes have been made.
In the executive department, the i'm
portant changes consist in giving the
Governor power to remove dishonest
officials when a true bill has been
found against them by grand jury,
the removal to continue until they
are acquitted; the other change is
giving the Governor the right to veto
8 psrt of bill without vetoing the
whole of it. The article OH impeach-
nents is substantially the same as in
the present constitution.
Giving municipalities power to
exempt manufacturing enterprises
- from taxation is a new feature of the
q Constitution, and is right. 1t would
have beer dangerous thing to have
adopted Senator Tillman's scheme, by
which employees of factories could
have had manufacturing places in
corporated.
The dispensary feature of the consli-
tuition is entirely. new.
The prohibition Of any divorce law
is merely putting into the organic
law what has long been the sentiment
of the State. This is a matter on which
4 great deal can be said on both sides.
The provision requiring the Gene
raj Assembly to pass only general
laws, and let special legislation alone
as far as possible, if followed, will
save great deal Of expense
Pardoning board, the marriages be-
tween the races, the charge as to the
time Of the sessions Of the Legislature
are familiar now to the public, and all
of them, We thiuk, will be generally
approved.
The Convention will reassemb!e on
the 18th of this month, and it has a
great deal of important work still Oh
hand, enough probably to keep it in
session till Christmas. 1t seems 20 US
that it would be in the interest Of
economy for it to supercede the legis-
lature and provide for the supply bill.
The delegates are all now at home:
and they can get the sentiments of tie
people on the matter.
