Work for Children.


There is no greater defect in educating
children than neglecting toaccustom them
10 work. Ii is an evil that attaches mostly
to large towns and cities. Children suffer
much from it. The parent never con-
sidcrs whether the child's work is neces-
sary or not to the child. Nothing is more
uncertain than their future independence
and camfort-much depends on being ac-
customed 10 work-accustomed TO provide
for the thousand constantly recurring wants
that nature entails or US.


If This were moi so, stilt preserves them
fton bad habits; i, secures their health;
it strengthens both the mind and body; IT
| enables them better to bear the confine-
ment of the pent-up school room; and ii
tends more than anything else to give them
jnst and proper views Of life.


1t is too often the case that children.
provided they spend half dozen hours of
the day al school, are permitted to spend
the rest as they please. Thus they grow
up in the world, without any knowledge of
its tolls and cares they view it thI ough
false medium; they cannot appreciate the
favors you hestow, as they do not know
the tolls they cost; their bodies and minds
are eneryated, and they are exposed to
| whatever vicious associations are within
| their reach. b


1hs daughter, probably, becomes that
piliable, helpless object, novel reading
girl. The son, if he surmounls the con-
sequences of your neglect, does it probably
after his plans and station for life are
fixed, and when knowledge, for one Of
its important objects, comes, alas! too
la!e.


| No man or woman is fully educated if
not accustomed TO useful labor. Whatever
accomplishments they possess, whatever
their mental haining, deduction must be
made for.ignorance of that important chap
ter OF the worlds great book.

G- We copy the following from the n
York Herald:


General Paredes.
! "Gen. Paroles is man Of about 4S
years of age, frai and slight in form, and
not ungraceful, though manned by the
wounds Of many battles. His eve in re-
pose is as mild as sunshine, but when ex.
cited it CLEANS like the edge of his own
good sword. He is known throughout the
Republic as GEL Nance" Paredes-or,
"the hand wounded" He may be con-
sidered the Murat of Mexico, es he knows
no fear in his almost mad and reckless dar~
ing. He was once banished to this country,
and as an exile studied our institutions and
worshipped our enterprise. His American
feelings are strong, and in all business
transactions he is a man of honor. Amid
the thousand opportunities that he had for
amassing an immense fortune, his poverty
has remained monument of his patriotism.
1t was his skill, energy and indomitable
courage, that made Santa Anna President
Of the Mexican Republic; and when he
trifled with the liberties Of his beloved coun-
try, it was he who hurled the Dictator from
place and power, and banished him as an
J exile in land Of strangers. A favorite
