Treatment of Children.

If one is bound to ruin his children
the choice should be to do it by kind
ness rather than by brutality; but there
is not the least need of hanging Oh
either horn of this dilemma. Let every
mortal child that is brought into the
world be taught to obey its parents;
let it be taught this while it is little
child, not humored and petted to death
and taught hundreds of tricks which 1t
must be broken of afterward. If you
can teach your child obedience with
out whipping him, SO much the better;
don't whip such a child-it is cruelty;
but if he will not fear or obey without
such punishment administer it gently
and simply in a convincing manner, but
do not be looking and speaking blows
at him for a week afterward. While
gentle, respectful and obedient chill
dren are the sweetest things on earth,
there are few things more disagreeable
and repulsive than badly managed and
unruy children No one can endure
them and their parents are justly to
blame
