use is continued io smaller doses for a week or two »l
disease has been checked, more especially in

A Spoiled Child.
Said a mother the other day in our
. hearing, when apologizing to a lady
1 for the rudeness of a ten-year old boy:
1 “I really can’t tell where Ire got such
! bad manners.”
Os you, good woman. No one else
1 is to blame for his rudeness —germ of
1 loferism and wickedness. One day in
| passing we heard you tell him to per
■ form a little act—lie said in a rough,
brutal way, “I won’t” You did not
chide or correct him. ou allowed
that authority given you by a wise
Providence to be trampled upon and
| insulted. You admitted your inability
; to govern when you allowed him to go
unrebuked and unpunished; first for
loferishness and secondly for wilful dis
obedience.
Sometimes you scold and pound, and
pummel, as if the devil was in you.—
The next hour you are all bread-and
sugar, confectionery and playthings.
One day you are out of temper, and,
when mad, you snap aud snarl at your
children as if they were hogs and you
a dog.
You punish one day for an accident
—the next day overlook wilful disobe
dience. One day you box ears, thump,
on the head with a stick, thimble, knife
handle, bock or anything that is han
dy, for the most trivial offense, and
the next day permit your children to
sauce you, tell lies, and openly defy
you. This is much your style of gov
ernment :
“Come in this house here, this min
ute!”
“Shut up your head, or I’ll lick
you!”
“Stop your confounded noise!”
“John Henry, let that alone, or I'll
skin you alive!”
“Harriet Jane, you little huzzy, come
away from there, or I’ll break your
head !”
“Shut up, this minute —don’t you
hear!”
“Sit down, and don’t you stir for a
week!”
“Come along —don’t be all day, or
I’ll warm you!”
‘ Don’t you dare tell me that, or I’ll
whip you to death ! M
“If you don’t behave, I’ll tell your
father!”
“You great, nasty heap, you never’ll
be anything!”
“Go to bed, or I’ll spank you to
death!”
“Shut up, or I'll put you in the
dark!”
“Hold your tongue, and don’t jaw
back to me!”
And this you call government! As
if your children were wild beasts to be
yelled at and terrified into obedience.
The child realizes your incompetency
to govern, and soon learns to despise
your weakness; to trample under foot
your authority; to tell falsehoods to
screen himself from your ungovernable
anger, and look upon you as a fit sub
ject to wheedle and deceive. Your
child is spoiled —no one but yourself is
to blame. There are more balky
drivers than balky horses. More spoil
ed mothers than spoiled children—at
least, spoiled mothers with slipshod,
spasmodic, streaky, unreliable tempers,
and no self-government, are sure to
have spoiled children to the annoyance
of themselves and their neighbors.
A little common sense, quiet dignity
as occasion requires, and a realization
of responsibilities will make the best
children of the worst ones We know
a child wdiose eyes would fill with tears
at the thought of disobeying her par
ents, because she loves them and re
spects them. She is treated like a hu
man being should be treated—a grow
ing soul.
Tlie rules for child government are
simple. Never lose your temper. Be
careful; an ounce of love is better than
a ton of fear. Do not snap and snarl,
and scold, and speak cross. Your chil
dren will love you the less for so doing.
Do not scold aud fret, nor punish for
mere accidents. Do not punish for a
Lttle offence, and let a great one go
unnoticed. Insist upon strict, willing,
ready, cheerful obedience from your
children. Never let them rouse you or
defy your authority. Let them play
and be happy. Take an interest in
their studies and amusements. Appeal
to their pride at times; compliment
them for doing well, for good behavior,
and set them good examples. Do not
gossip or slander, and lie about your
neighbors, for they will despise those
who do. Itemember that to God and
to your children are you accountable
for their life, acts, and principles. —
Speak kindly, more than you do, and
more uniformly.
Do not ily from sweet to sour like a
weaver’s shuttle. Talk with your chil
dren more. Tell them which of your
neighbors’ children are good, and
wherein; which are not good, and why.
More love and less whip. More ap
peal to brain than to bottom. More
dignity and less spasm of authority.—
Tell your children w r hat you wish done,
or ask to have it done, and then see
that the child is taught tho same obe
dience to you that you have to your
self. When you are compelled to pun
i h, do it earnestly, but not brutally.—
Do not pound or club heads. Nexer
punish a child in anger—then you are
more deserving punishment than the
child, for j ou are gratifyinganger more
than honoring reason. Many people
keep children out cf parlors when com
pany is present. Thisfis wrong. Have
good company, and early teach your
children how "to act in society of elders
or superiors. Do not allow them to
use bad language—to quarrel or grow
up selfish. Teacb them neatness and
order. Teach them to put clothing,
books, playthings, ttc., in place. Have
patience —use judgment —feel proud of
your children, and they will soon feel
proud of you, and none but your neigh
bors will have spoiled children.
[New York Democrat.
Alind Your Otrn Business.
Yes, that is the true way for the
part of mankind called sensible to pur
sue. A French writer, with the broad
tendency to generalization which dis
tinguishes that nation, divides man
kind into fooL and knaves; another
into the eaten and the eaters. We do
not subscribe to those opinions, but
we can say we believe that mankind
may be divided into two classes:—
Those who attend to their business,
and those who attend to the busines of
somebody else, and who live upon the
reputation of being very shrewd, sens
ible fellows, because they abuse every
body in town.
Now, if we were put upon our oath,
we could not decide which is the more
pestilential fellow of the two, the con
firmed gossip, or the midnight assassin.
The assassin but takes away life, the
busybody takes away that which is
dearer than life—reputation. |
One deals in the swift, sudden blow,
which kills the body, the other in those
mortal fiendish stabs which kill the
soul. One takes your wealth, or the
same thing, your reputation, the other,
your peace of mind forever.
In the "words of the immortal Sliak
speare:
I
“He "vvlio steals my purse, steals trash.
"Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been ’slave to
thousands. |
But he that filches from me my good name, i
Steals that which enriches him not,
But makes me poor indeed.”
Yes, friends, when tempted to blame
some poor struggling sinner, who, per
haps is led away by sorrow, cares and
anxieties of which you can form no con
ception, pause and think of what anot h
er large hearted poet and whole souled
man l as said:
“0 wad somePower the giftie gieus,
To see ourselves as it hers see us,
It wad frae mony a blunder free us,
And mony a foolish notion.”
Stop slander and gossip; go into
all good works of charity and good
feeling; make allowance for eering,
sinful mortals, and you will be better
men, and much better qualified to fill
the destiny which God has intended
that each man shall fill in this world.
Flowers in the Path of Gen. Lee. —
A Washington correspondent relates
the following incident of General Lee,
the same having occurred to Washing
ton alone before him:
“During his stay in Fredericksburg
the General was met one morning,
about a hundred yards from the door
of the residence of a gentleman wfitli
whom he was to take breakfast, by fif
ty beautiful little girl children of the
most prominent citizens of the place,
who strewed flowei’s in his path, and
he walked the distance upon a bed of
roses, the volunteer offerings of inno
cence and loveliness.”
Wheat and Clover. —The editor of
the Cartersville Express has just visited
Col. Lewis Tumlin’s plantation on the
Etowah River. He examined his 500
acres of wheat; his clover, that wil 1
make 3 tons per acre; his fat stock;
and his dairy, filled with butter and
milk. On liis plantation since the war,
Col. Tumliu has erected a house at a
cost of $20,000.

Iron Ore. —A specimen of Iron ore
from Van Wert, Ga., can be seen atom

Road will develop the coal, iron, and
slate mines of that section, and increase
the revenues of the State Road. Yel

Cunning of Ibe Fox.
A certain jagare, who was one morn
ing keeping watch in the forest, saw a
fox cautiously making his approach to
wards the stump of an old tree.—
When sufficiently near, he took a high
and determined jump on the top of
it, and, after looking round a while,
hopped to the ground again. After
Reynard had repeated this nightly
exercise several times, he went his way,
but presently returned to the spot,
bearing a pretty large and heavy piece
of dry oak in his mouth, aud thus
burdened, and as it would seem for
the purpose of testing his vaulting
powers he renewed his leaps on to the
stump. After a time, however, and
when he found that, weighed as he was,
he could make the ascent with facility,
lie desisted from further efforts, drop
ped the piece of wood from his mouth,
and coiling himself upon the top of
the stump, remained motionless as if
dead.
At the approach of evening, an old
sow and her progeny, five or six in
number, issued from a neighboring
thicket, and pursuing their usual track,
passed near to the stump in question.
Two of her sucklings followed some
what behind the rest, aud, just as they
neared his ambush, Michel, with the
rapidity- of thought, darted down from
his perch upon one of them, aud in tho
twinkling of an eye, bore it in triumph
on to the fastness he had prepared
beforehand. Confounded at the
shrieks of her offspring, the old sow
returned in great fury to the spot, and
until late in the night made repeated
desperate attemps to storm the mur
derer’s stronghold; but the fox took
the matter coolly, and devoured the
pig under the very nose of its mother.

Two Arabs sat down to dinner, and
were accosted by a stranger, who re
quested to join their party, saying
“that as he could hot get provisions to
buy in that part of the country, if they
would admit him to eat only an equal
share with themselves, he would will
ingly pay them for the whole.” The
frugal meal consisted of eight small
loaves of bread, five of which belonged
to one of the Arabs, anil three to the
other. The stranger having eaten a
third part, and each of the two Arabs
a third part of the eight loaves, arose
and laid before them eight pieces of
money, saying; “My friends, there is
what I promised you; divide it between
you according to your just rights.”—
A dispute, of course, arose respecting
a division of the money’; but reference
being made to the cadi, he adjudged
seven pieces to the owner of the 5 loaves,
and only one piece to him who had
owned the three loaves. Yet the cadi
decided justly.
