Culver & Kidd, Milledgeville, Ga, HABIT. It lias teen justly said: ‘‘Man is a buudle of habits.” Again. “Habit is character.” Habits, at first, are Bpider webs; ttien, threads; then, cords; fi nally, they are ocean cables,- which nothing can reak. Let us see some of the practical ef fects of habit. First, it simplifies onr movements, makes them accurate and lessens fatigue. The lower animals do things by instinct or automatically, as it were; but man is born with a ten dency to do many more tilings than there is arrangement for in his nerve- centers. By practice, he forms certain habits, and so conserves his nervous and muscular energy. Second, habit diminishes the conscious attention witli which certain acts are performed, and so our mental energy is concerned. Thus, we see that habit ia the great fly-wheel of society—its great conserv ative agent. Habit keeps the fisher man and deck-hand at sea in winter, it holds the miner in his darknes and the country-man to his log-cabin through months of snow ; it keeps the Esquiino in his cold zone and the Hottentot in his torid region. In other words, habit keeps the different strata of society separate, and dooms us to fight ont the battle of life along the lines where Na-, turo lias placed us. The above being true, it behooves us to form correct habits in early life. From early infancy to maturity we are forming habits which will influence our entire after-life. Youth, then, be ing the impressionable and formidable period, is the most important period of life. The Catholics are accredited with saying; * Give us the first twelve years of a child’s life, and you may have the remainder.” The longer I live, the more thoroughly I am convinced that all of principle and character you fail to instill into a child’s nature before he reaches the age of twelve years, yon will fail to put there. Statistics show that out of nine hundred representa tive persons, eighty-four per cent, pro fessed convcrtion before reaeding the age of twenty rears. Why does one man ascend from ob scurity aud indigence to fame and wealth, despite tdl obstacles; while an other commences life, surrounded by every advantage that riches and influ ential friends can bestow, yet lie sinks into insignificance aud poverty. This 1 difference i* largely caused by ttie dif- | ierenco in the formation of habits. What I enabled Henry Clay, the Mill boy of the Slashes, and Abraham Lincoln, the rail-splitter to reach degrees of emi nence to which few in modern times have been able to attain? It was the acquisition in youth, of habits of indus try, honesty, economy, perseverance, temperance, faithfulness, orderliness, punctuality, etc. (How I should wish to write at length upon eacli of these hab its!) Of course,native ability is indispen sable; many persons have this but fail in life, because they have not formed cor rect habits in youth. Having been engaged in teaching several years, I would urge upon parents the importance of seeing that children form the habit of study during the first six years of school-life. Truly there is no royal road to learning, and I do not believe that an education was ever yet “played” into a child's mind, mod ern systems to the contrary. I know iom« parents who feel that when their children enter school, no duty devolves upon their parents to see that the chil dren prepare home-lessons and thus form the habit of study in youth. Oq tiio other hand, this matter is left en tirely in the hands of the teacher, and she is censured if the child do not make proper progress. It is the duty of pa rents to co-operate with the teacher in all measures looking to the good of the child. I speak from experience when I say that those children whose parents co-operate with the teacher as regards the preparation of home-lessons, par ents of discipline, etc. not only make the best progress in school, bnt form habits of industry which go with them through life. These may be duties irk some to parents, yet they are Heaven- bestowed duties which parents can not shirk. Would that all parents could be made to see the importance of influencing their children to form good habits! Lacy P. Richard.
