FAMILY CIRCLE^
* Maternal Government.
TIIE OTHER PICTURE.
Mrs. Darby and her friend visited
Mrs. Thomas, according to agreement
the following day.
They were asked in the sitting room,
and, as they came to spend the day,
they had brought “their work” with
them, and were soon busily engaged
in sewing...
It was a bright Saturday morning.
Little Alice and Susie were sitting
on the floor deiburely cutting and lit
ting their doll-baby’s clothes. Occa
sionally they would come to their mo
ther’s side and request some assistance,
which was always cheerfully rendered.
After a while a couple of young friends
called to spend an hour or two. On
their entrance Alice arose and greeted
them in a kind and friendly tone, and
proceeded to collect all her little doll
paraphernal aand lead the way to the
nursery. Susie sprang up joy lully and
expressed much gladness at their arri
val ; but as she was retiring also to the
nursery, she was checked by her mo
ther’s voice.
“Susie, my dear, you must pick up
all those scraps you left on the floor,
before you leave.”
“Oh, ma, let Caroline do it, I want
to go and play.”
“No, my child, Caroline is busy.—
Resides you made the litter and you
must clean it up.”
Without another word of objection,
or manifesting the least discontent,
Susie removed all the “litter” from the
floor, and when she had finished she in
quired—
“ Will that do, Ma?”
“Yes, dear, go and play now.”
Susie ran away and was soon the
merriest of the merry ones in the nur
sery.
A glance from Mrs. Darby's friend
said to her, “Children can be trained
to obey cheerfully.”
Pretty soon Susie returned. “Ma
ma,” said she, “Please give me my
United States Map blocks, 1 want to
see if Anna can put them together
right.”
“ 1 can’t, Susie dear, the last time
yen had them you left them scattered
all over the floor, and Caroline had to
leave her work to pick them up. Now,
servants can’t bo ever running after
little gii Is to pick up what they leave
strewn about. So to learn you a les
son of tidiness and carefulness, I must
refuse to let you have them now.”
“Please, Ma.”
“I can’t, Susie.”
“Do, please Ma, Anna wants to see
them so bad, and I promised to bring
them.”
“No, dear. Go and tell her I would
not let you have them to punish your
previous carelessness.”
Susie knew her mother too well to
say anything more.
“Might you not have ob.'iged the
child ?” inquired Mrs. Darby .
“No,” was the reply. “Children
must learn to know that every non-per
tormance of duty or act of obedience
shall meet its due reward. I never
enunciate positive orders about any
little matter. 1 find it best to let ehil
dren learn that they mustsufler when
they do wrong; and they rarely com
mit the same fault twice, besides, I al
ways keep my word with them. They
thus know what to expect. I rarely
have occasion to threaten—never to
whip.
Children, I “find, are easily governed
when rightly governed. Their percep
tions of right and wrong are very keen;
and when you let them perceive that
you are right, and that you mean to
act consistently with your professions,
they willingly yield unhesitating obe
dience. • I long since learned that for
my children to obey me, required that
they should so highly esteem me, as to
believe me always right, and so rely
upon my truthfulness and consistency
as to know what to expect from me.—
I never scold them, 1 found it blunted
their feelings and did more harm than
good. 1 seldom whip them—it de
stroys self-respect. While I reason with
them I let experience teach them what
to expect. I observed that when a child
put its linger in fche candle flame it got
burnt: when it did so a second time,
a second time it got burnt, and as oft
en as it did so it got burnt—until it
ceased doing so altogether. I soon
learned to apply this law in moral gov
ernment. When a child offends it must
be punished: if it offends again, it
must be punished again. Thus treat
ed, children soon learn to think, and
thinking, they soon learn to obey and
act discreetly.”
Mr. Thomas now entered, and after
the usual salutations, seated himself.
Presently Johnnie, a young fellow of
thirteen, came in and said,
“Pa, I lost my knife,won’t you please
buy me another ?”
“How did you lose it, son ?”
“1 was playing in the grass with Bill
Smith, at mumble-peg, and left it there,
and now I can’t find it ?”
“If that is the case, Son, I can’t give
you another knife. Things that “cost
money, must not be treated so care
lessly.”
“Well, Pa, won't you lend me yours?’
“No, my son, you must suffer the
consequences of your own heedlessnes.’
“J ust a little while, Pa, I’ll be sure
not to lose it.”
“John, did you ever know me to do
what I said I would not ? I can’t let
you have my knife. You may go now.”
Johnnie left the room somewhat
mortified.
“ lie did beg so hard. I could not
have resisted,” said Mrs. Darby.
“So I suppose,” rejoine i Mr. Thom
as, “ but correct principle in govern
ing children, requires us to be firm at
times.”
Dinner was now announced, and at
the table Mrs. Darby observed that
all the children sat up straiglitly, ate
slowly, waited to be helped before they
asked fur anything, and never disputed
what they heard said. They made no
noise, nor manifested any rudeness.”
“How different from mine!” 6he
mentally exclaimed.
After dinner she heard Mr. T. say to
his eldest son, “ James, last Saturday
you went in bathing contrary to my
instructions. You must remaiu, as I
have already told you, in my study
this entire afternoon, as a punishment.”
“Father, all the boys went in.”
“That is no excuse for you. I had
forbidden your doing 60. Retire to
my study and remain there.”
A week previously the river had
been much swollen by recent rains,
and bathing was dangerous. On this
account had Mr. T. forbidden it.
James in a weak moment had been
ied away by his companions, he expect
ed his punishment and bore it manfully,
never once calling his father unjust, or
exhibiting anger.
“Well,” said Mrs. Darby, “I never
did see children so easily managed—so
respectful and so obedient. I really
must try this way of managing chil
dren —unitingfirmness and gentleness,
consistency and decision —letting eve
ry act on my part manifest the effect
which right reason shows should follow
from a causey - B.
Avery Interesting Letter from
SISTER E. H. HARTWELL.
The letter below was w r ritten on the
21st of Oct. 1850, at Shanghai, to a
former Sabbath School scholar of hers
in Macon, Georgia.
We are so confident that it will prove
interesting to our yourg friends, that
we publish it in the Index —omitting
theintroduction and a part of the con
clusion. —Ed. Index.
My dear little friend Leila :
But I wane you particularly to write
me all about the Sabbath School. I
know you will try to do this, when I
tell you that I think you can by so do
ing help me in my missionary work
here. Now does not your little heart
grow happy with the thought of being
able to do something to teach these
poor heathen of Christ, the Bible, and
the Sabbath? I have a little school
of Chinese female children, in which I
do not teach all day, myself, as I did
in my school at home, but have a na
tive,that is, a Chinese teacher, who, un
derstanding their own language per
fectly, of course can teach them in that
better than I, a foreigner, Avho am but
just learning Chinese. Igo in every
afternoon and learn them little hymns
to sing, and talk to them as well as I
can, telling them Bible and other gopd
little stories. Then on Sabbath after
noon we have them come at two o’clock
and teach them from little catechisms,
also to sing hymns, and Mr. Hartwell
and a Chinese Christian preach to them
very simple sermons, that they can un
derstand. Now instead of these schol
ars parents or friends paying me or the
Chinese teacher for educating them, as
they do in schools at home, we have to
pay each one ten cash (about 1 or 2
cents) a day to get them to come to
school. Does not this seem singular
to you ? I will tell you why it is. The
Chinese, you know, are heathen, that
is, they worship gods made of wood
and stone, and metal. They, or at
least some of them, do not know that
there is but one true God who made
the heavens, the earth, and all things,
and who alone must he worshipped ;
of them who know this truth
and many others taught them by the
missionaries, are so set in their super
stitions and idolatrous customs, that
they will not quit their idols and give
their hearts to the worship of the one
living abd true God. They build large
temples and ornament them beautiful
ly with carved and gilt work ; in them
they place their false gods. Some are
enormously large, others are small, and
they go daily to bow down to them
and repeat long strings of words taught
them by their priests, but which they
do not understand, and also burn in
cense, and waxen tapers before the
wooden images, vainly imagining that
they know of, or appreciate all this,
and will reward them for it with rich
es, homes, health, or good luck of some
kind. In addition to the incense and
tapers, they burn “ god money”; this
is made of gilt paper by the women and
children and sold in large quantities to
shopmen who deal in nothing else.—
Female children are taught to make
this for sale as early as four or live
years of age, and because by attending
school they lose the time for doing
this, and consequently the money ari
sing from its sale, their parents are un
willing to let them go, unless we make
up to them this loss by giving them
so much ever} 7 day. This we gladly
do in order to be able to teach them
the folly and great sinfulness of idol
worship, of the Bible, of Christ who
died for them. As I said we do this
every day- but Sunday, as we do not
think it would be right to pay them
for anything done on the Sabbath. It
is only by striving to awaken, by inte
resting talk and teaching, a love of
coming, that we can secure their atten
dance Sabbath evenings. Now this is
what I think you can help me about.
If you will write me in your own
words,childish and simple thoughthey
be, all about the Sabbath School, what
you there learn about the Bible, and
what you remember of Mr. L—’s ser
mons, and such things as interest you,
Mr. Hartwell and I will try to put
your letter into Chinese, and read it to
our seholars on Sundays. Now, in
this way you may be able, though so
young, and so far away, to interest and
obtain for us many heathen children to
come and listen to our teachings which
God may bless to the saving of their
souls, and those of their parents. Al
ways when you lift up your young
heart to God, pray that this may be so,
and that many heathen may soon learn
to love and worship him.
1 on asked me in your letter if I did
not become very tired of the sea before
I reached my eastern home. I did be
come somewhat so, for nearly five
months seemed a long time to be con
flned to a narrow vessel and see little
else but sky and water. However,
the sky was frequently grandly beau
tiful, and a storm now and then, the
catching of many different kinds of fish
and birds, passing a few islands, the
study ot the Chinese language daily,
made the time seem shorter than you
would think it could.
I ou will want to know something of
China and t,he Chinese, as I judge of
them aftei being a few months among
them. Well, 1 must tell you a few
things very hastily, for I fear you will
think this already quite a long letter,
besides the mail closes now very soon,
and I want this to go by this mail.
The country beyond the cities is beau
tiful indeed ; the hills and vallies aboun
ding in large, beautiful green trees, bright
colored flowers, sweet singing birds and
pretty streams of water. As the mission
ary hymn, you will remember, says, “eve
ry prospect pleases, and only man is vile.”
But the Chinese cities are tar from pleas
ing to the eye of a foreigner, for they seem
only high, thick walls, very narrow streets
and any quantity of tilth and dirt. A for
eigner could not live under the walls of
one of these cities—it would soon end
his life. We very far (outside)
from the city walls, in a large, comforta
ble house. Th.- CChinese are, you know,
our antipodes (“Mother’’ will explain that
word) geopraphically, and I frequently
think, iu every other respect. My teach-,
er says, “compare a Chinaman with an
American and he is bottom upwards.” —
A Chinese compass instead of pointing
North, points South. They do not say
North, East, South,West, &c., but East-
North, AYest-South, tfcc. Should you tell
a man here to turn to the right or left,
he would not understand, you would have
tell him to walk North, or East, or South,
Ac. In meeting a friend, a Chinaman
never shakes hands with him, but shakes
his own clasped hands at him. To shake
hands with a lady, is the heigth of inde
cency. If an American is invited to a
house, he feels he must first speak to the
lady of the house, and see that the ladies
in his company are entertained —not so
here. The Chinese visitor does not ex
pect to see or have anything to do with
the ladies. If a lady chances to come
into the room, a very polite man will turn
his face to the wall and carry on his con
versation with the gentlemen till the lady
leaves the room. YVe commence our
meals with soup, meats, Ac., and take
dessert afterwards. The Chinaman be
gins with such things as watermelon seed,
and nuts, then takes his dessert and sweet
things, afterwards has meats and closes
his meal with a bowl of soup and rice.
In America, the ladies do most of the
sewing, in China, men do it all. They
even make all the ladies’ dresses and clo
thing. We“wear black as an emblem of
mourning, the Chinese white, on bridal
occasions bright red, even to the veil.—
In America, a lady may wear a low-neck
ed dress, but a gentleman must be but
toned up close and have on his cravat —
here the ladies always wear their dresses
very high in the neck, while respectable
men, and almost all laborers, in summer,
go bare to the waist. The wealthy and
the literary class dress very nicely, but I
will in my next describe minutely to you
the dress o‘ both male and female and
tell you about many other peculiarities of
the Chinese (as the cramped baby feet of
the women, the long ques of the men,
Ac.,) which, although you will soon be
reading of in well written books, you
might find more interesting and rtmem
ber better by reading them in a letter
from a friend.
God ever bless my little friend, early
turn her young heart to Him and make
her a happy and useful Christian I pray.
Your attached friend and old teacher,

A CARD
THE undersigned feels it his duty to render
thanks to the citizens of Houston and adjoin
ingcounties, lor their liberal and extensive patron
age. While he begs a continuance of their favors,
he will state to those who do not know him, that
many years practice in the principal cities of the
South and a complete Dental Laboratory, enable
him to make as elegant and perfect Dental substi
tutes of the most approved and latest style, as
can be furnished by any Dentist in the State.
A WORD ABOUT THE
“STYLE OF CHEAP WORK.”
Persons needing Dental Operations or Artificial
Teeth, and not able to pay me my regular prices,
may feel assured that I will rather share my pro
fits with them than “accommodate” them with a
cheap, or inferior style of work, as such will never
give satisfaction, and is the dearest in the end.
All persons desiring my services will please call
at my Residence, in Perry, where they will find
all the comforts of a first-rate Dental Office. Fam
ilies living ata distance may procure my services
by giving me notice.
Dentists will find a large assortment of the best
materials, for filling Teeth, as well as for making
artificial sets, at Nothern prices.

FAMILY SEWING MACHINES,
Promote the leisure, health and happiness of home.
REASONS WHY THIS MACHINE IS UNIVER
SALLY PREFERRED OVER ALL OTHERS.
1 BECAUSE it is the only Sewing Machine in
• the world ever invented, so constructed as
to fully meet the demands of families, for general
use.
2. It is very simple and is never liable togetout
of prder.
8. It makes a seam which will not rip, though
every third stitch is cut.
4. It is not a Shuttle Machine.
5. It sews with two needles, making any length
stitch desired.
6. It sews from two ordinary spools, and thus
all trouble of winding thread is avoided ; while the
same Machine can be adapted at pleasure, by a
mere change of spools, to all varieties of work.
7. The same Machine runs silk or linen thread,
and common spool cotton, with equal facility.
8. This Machine will sew in the sliewes of a coat
with the same ease andfacility that it sewsa straight
seam.
9. This Machine can be run to make one thou
sand five hundred stitches per minute.
10. The seams are elastio as the most elastic
fabric, so that it is free from all liability to break in
washing, ironing or otherwise.
11. The stitches made by this machine are more
beautiful than any other made either by hand or
machine. For sale by
