THE GREATER POWER.
HUH IT MOULDS CHAHACI'EIt.
BY SIDNEY HEBBEHT.
INTRODUCTORY —THIRD PAPER.
“Is there any power for good or evil grater
than the influence of him who leads the lamily,
who propagates Ins own character in the persons
and the souls of hie children, who lives his own
life over again in the lives of those v bom he has
begotten ?"—Reo. T. L. Cuyler, D.D.
In 'ne of the papers which has preceded
this, the Rev. Dr. Cuyler has answered his
own question, and given it as his firm con
viction that the father is the parent that
stamps the impress of character upon the
child —in other words, that the paternal in
fluence rules the home and trains and molds
its inmates in the formation of character,
and that, too, by “God’s decree."
This question, as it stands alone, is a very
deceptive one. It can only be properly
answered in connection with the construc
tion which the questioner himself puts upon
it by his own answer ; for it is a plain prop
osition, that there is no greater power than
the influence of the father who leads his fam
ily, propagates his own character in his chil
dren, and toes again in their lives. When a
father does aU this, so far as his family is
concerned, there can he no greater human
power whose ii fluence may’ control within
that circle. The mother becomes secondary
and subordinate in the matter determining
the characters and destinies of her children,
wherever such a lather holds sway in the
household.
It is on this account that I have passed on
to this p int in the discussion before refer
ring to this peculiarity in the question. The
previous papers have, 1 think, pretty clearly
shown that it is the mother, as a general
thing, who leads the family, who propagates
her own character in her children, and lives
again in their lives. This is the rule; the
exception only, for good and noble purposes
in lite, is in favor of the theory advanced by
Rev. Dr. Cuyler. Such being the case, there
must be a power lor good or evil greater
than the paternal ii fluence, and that power
is the maternal influence.
A single paragraph will suffice for me
to show that a had mother is unquestion
ably a greater power for evil than a bad
father. All history records that good moth
ers—women of marked character and firm
principles—have successfully’ trained up to
manhood and womanhood children whose
fathers were men ol profligate habits, weak
characters, or convicted criminals. On the
other hand it has been a rare thing that a
good lather has succeeded in rearing bis chil
dren to usefulness and honor in spite of a
mother’s frailties, incompetency and ne
glect.
“What becomes of the sons of successful
men ?” asks a leading journal, in reviewing
the assertion that “ihe children of the rich
are the lathers of the poor.” Said a gen
tleman to this editor : “ The old names have
ceased from the pulpit; the famed men of
the bar seldom have a successor iu their
sons; ihe eminent juiists carry their honors
with them to the giave ; and the names of
met chant princes are obliterated. A few
names exi6t in honoi ed place's, but they are
an exception. What becomes of the sons
of successful men ? ” I can only reply, they
°idom emulate the greatness of their fath
ers in auy department of life, unless they
have been properly trained for such great
ness by a mother of true worth and decis
ion of character.”
“A retired echoolruaster,” says the New
Orleans 'limes , “whose ‘sands of life have
nearly run out,’ writes to a Northern paper
endeavoring to account for the rarity ot in
stances in which great men have transmitted
their genius to their immediate descendants.
He solves this problem by advancing a the
ory rather startling in magnitude, il u proves
a true one. He asserts that in every instance
the boy inherits the mother’s mental calibre,
tastes and characteristics. Iu support of
this doctrine he cites a number ol instances
in which he was enabled, by teaching hoys,
to judge exactly ot their mothers’ attain
ments It cannot be doubted that
the mother exercises a great L flueuce in
foiming the intellect of the child.”
In noticing 'he above, Muj. G. A. Miller,
the cultured editor ol the Columbus Daoy
Hun, saiU : “The point as to whether the child
inherits its mind, tastes and disposition from
the lather or mother, may give food for much
speculation, i think each patent contrib
utes to the result —the daughters inheriting
their disposition anu intellect from the fath
er, and the sons from the mother. One
reason why sons of distinguished fatheis are
seldom also distinguished, and the sens of
the wealthy olten become poor, may not be
caused byinietior natural ability, but that
necessity has never taught them sell-control,
nor developed their latent energies, talents
and virtues. 1 once heard the great and
good Judge Gaston remark that he never
knew a wise son whose mother did not pos
sess fine natural intellect. I believe there
are lew exceptions to the rule.” 1 lie cele
brated Rev. Stephen Tynge, Jr , U.D., in
his interesting work, " The Sfjuaie vj Life,
touches the same point in these wotds:
“This matter ot the personal influence of
the mother is a universal observation. All
biogiaphy shows that great men have in
herited Irrm their mother. If it be true
that the lather give? tone and direction to
the character of the uaughter, and that the
mother detei mines the tendencies and talents
of the sod, then will very much ot biogra
phy be clear and comprehensible.”
“'Whoever knew,’’ asks the Rev. D I
Newton, ‘‘a great and good man, 01 a great
and ge od woman rear* and und* r the tuition of
a fashionable mother ? Whence our Moseses,
Mirisms, Samuels, John ihe Baptists, oui
Timotbys, Wesleys, Doddridges, the John
Newtons, the Washingtons-whence are
they, who trained them, molded t heir in
fantile years—fashionable mothers if Not
one ! These neat, good, holy and tmineDtly
useful men, had gnat and good mothers—
plain, practical, industrious, prayerful, God
fearing. Read the biographies ol all our
great and good dthd and women fn ni early
time to the present— not one of them had a
fashionable mother. They all sprang fr< m
pi an s. ijnvmir.de- vt-u.iß, wh< rad neb

he means “quick minded and intelligent
women) “are ot more impoitance to the
world than clever men; I reler, ol course,

the general mind, the characteristics of the
mass of men and women who constitute so
ciety, and from whom not only posterity, as
a whole, will receive an impress, but among
whom the individual hero, too, must be born
and bred. On the two suppositions that all
men were clever, [ilie English idea of clever,
not the Ameiican ] and all women weak, or
that all women were superior and all the
men fools, there would he by tar the best
prospect for the world on the latter alterna
tive, both with respect to the general con
dition of the race, and the appearance of
those who should he personally eminent for
ability and genius. The moiher has most to
do with ail that awakens the y’oung spirit iu
its early freshness, and that makes the child
that is to be ‘father to the man,’ and she
gives perhaps more of the impress of her
whole being, physical and mental, to the
original constitution and capacities of her
offspring. Weak tm n with superior wives,
have sons distinguished by very high intel
lectual ability, but the greatest men with
fools tor their wives, have seldom been any
thing but the lathers of fools.” This some
what startling proposition 1 shall discuss in
my next paper, and by marked examples,
including the Beechers, the Worcesters, Lore!
Bac.,n and other emiuent men, endeavor to
show that this English writer has a good
foundation upon which to rest his theory of
the superiority of maternal over paternal
inllueuce, if the results ol the second mar
riages of great men have any significance
in the settlement of the question.
NO TIME FOR HATING.
Begone with feud ! away with strife ;
Our human hearts unmatiug ;
Let us be friends again ! This life
Is ail too short for hating.
So dull the day, so dim the way,
So rough the road we’re faring—
Far better weal with faithful friend
Than stalk alone uncaring !
The barren flg, the withered vine,
Are types of selfish living ;
But souls that give like thine and mine,
ilenew their life by giving
While cypress waves o’er early graves,
On all the way we’re going.
Far better plant where seed is scant,
Than tread on fruit .that’s growing,
Away with scorn ! Since die we must—
Aiid rest on one low pillow;
There are no rivals in the dust —
No foes beneath the willow.
So dry the bowers, so fow the flowers;
Our earthly way discloses,
Far better stoop, where daises droop,
Than tramp o’er broken roßes!
Of what are all the joys we hold,
Compaied to joyß above us?
And what are rank, and power, and gold.
Compared to hearts that love us ?
So fleet our years, bo full of tears.
So closely death is waiting—
God gives us space for loving grace,
But leaves no time for hating.
— A. J. H. Iduganne.
