she went forward into the thick of the
fight, needless of the bullets, and dressed
the wounds of many of the men, and
among them that of the Cent Crane, who
was struck in the head when close to the
emperor. A short time after she saw one

wounded in the side. She stopped down

of brandy in il. While the man was
drinking, a ball broke her little finger,
smashed the glass, and killed the man.
Madame Cross then proceeded to the ann

she could not lift the man mp, but she

than your disapprobation of bad Moth
ing can more discourage a child than a
spirit of incessant fault-fnding on the
part OF It's parent. And hardly anything
can exert more injurious influence upon
the disposition both of the parent and
the child. There are two great motives
influencing human actions-hope and
fear. Both OF these are at times neces-
sary. But who would not prefer to have
her child influenced to good conduct by
the desire Of pleasing rather than by the
fear of offending. If a mother never
expresses her qualification when her
children do well, and is always censur-
Ing them when she sees anything amiss,
they are discouraged and unhappy
They feel that it is useless to try 10 please
Their dispositions 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 reproaches.


But let a mother approve of her
chiId's conduct whenever she can. Let
her show that his good behavior makes
her sincerely happy. Let her reward
him for his efforts to please by smiles
and affection. In this way she will cher
ish in her chiid's heart some of the no.
blest and most desirable feelings of our
nature. She will cultivate in him an
amiable disposition and cheerful spirit.
Your child has been, during the day,
very pleasant and obedient. Just before
putting him TO sleep for the night, you
take his hand and say, My son, you

are dutiful to their parents, and he prom
ises to make them happy This appro-
baton from his mother is, to him, a great
