E. MERTON COULTER THE ATHENS -DAILY BANNER. VOL. III. ATHENS, GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 15 1882- NO. 54 family government. Mftuy striking and tad indications, which are open tQ tlio observation of any thoughtful person, show that there is among us a. widespread lack of wise family government. Here it is some runaway matrimonial adven- ture; here some young girl going to Leriuin, and in shame committing buicidf, or' PithJ«ndl^...giqrdiiteA J>er gomjKwtrayer; here rouft young person rashly putting an end to life by poison or the too-ready pistol. Even when matters do uotgo to the oxit-nl of crimes, in how many homes will there he found turmoil where there ought to he peace,bick erings where there ought to he har mony, unhappiness where there ‘•ught tub** the highest jay this side of heaven. x The reason is n »t far to seek. Tiiesi evils, greater or smaller, come trom the lawlessness of ungov .-rned nat. divine revehttiou, we exercise a lov ing, wise, firm, constant family gov ernment. WHAT TO TEACH BOYS. A philosopher has Raid that true ed ucation for boys “is to teach them what they ought to know when they become men.' 1 What is it they ought to Miow, then? £}r«U to bn genuine. No education is worth any thing that dors not includo this. A man had better not kuow how to re;i lie had betttr never learn a letter the alphabet, and he tiue and gei mue in attention, inaction, raiher than being learned in all the sciences nd laugua'jcs, to he at the same | 'iiiio iaKtt in heart and couutcileit ii j life. ^Iliove all things teach the bo; (that truth is more than riches, niorl its . that) culture, more than earthly pow ... ! er or position.

Fourth, Tue mistake that a great manv I self—-cliant. and Rflf-l.elptu'. parents make is that of not b gits levon f,om childhood; to he induBtii- liing soon enough. Many *ecm to j ons «»d self-supporting have the impression that auv attempt | c irl;«-t proper age. Teich the ?»t governing a vei v little child iu>* ! uI1 1 m,en w*»rk« are honorable, pirns harshness. But this l.y ho ty 11 },n Ml«, n*e»wli*e of fndo- nicans needs to be the case. It is i * cnce **» others is discraceiul. When grievously mistaken kindness to allow j » ' ,o y ,lt4S burned these four thing? a little ctiild to have his own way 1 "*>»*• >« has made these ideas a par when that way conflicts with w f iaL ! «'t his being, however vounfr he mn; his parents know to t»o best. The true j ,)e > however poor, or however rich, h time to teach a child obedience— and j ,m * ,,tt . rne(? motile of the most, iiupor- it may he done with the uunost gens jthings h • ought to know ah mt a ess and quiet patience—is before he is out ol’hts mothers arms. There wilt never be so good an opportunity later. The ideal family government is based upon principle. Hence it is steady and constant. Tho.te are fam ilies not a few where there is some sort of government, but it is impulsive and spasmodic, it consists in a sharp, almost fierce, checking up of the chil dren, or of severe punishment meted out to them, when their wills happen to run counter to the parents’ desires, or d< mauds, or even convenience. But there is no principle in it. It makes no account of right and wrong. Hence it is often almost worse than r.o control at, all. The wise and good parent regulates his conduct toward his children by principle, not passion. He asks himself, “ What is the right* oous course?” He is steady and unswerving in his applica tion ot these righteous princia pies of conduct. The result is that hi* children aie taught self-control; they learn under this wise discipline it* govern themselves. Hence, as they grow up, lh*-y are ready to obey lawful authority in the state. Hence they are likely to be prepared to render that obedience to God which he demands, and of which pa rental authority is a type. We plead with all earnestness for the due exercise of family govern meat, It must bo in dependence upon divine strength. No one can properly discharge parental duty without divine aid. Hut that aid can he hadjfcr the asking. That the na tion may be law-abiding and moral; that our children’s . future my be most firmly assured; that it may be made most sure that they will yield themselves in loving obedience to the rightful claims ot the Heavenly Father, let us see to it that, in de pendence upon divine grace, and put ting into practice the principles of Frank Lesiiw's Sunday Maya/inc.
