Tn rejecting on the subject, have been
impressed with the idea, that there is room
for Improvement in the management ana


government of children. TO assist parents
in this desirable object, friend to good and
wholesome government would wish to give


few simple rules, which if followed, Cam


not fail to have the effect suggested -
IF one parent has refused child play


thing, sugar plumb, or any thing else, let the
other be sure to interfere, and say, "Poor


thing, it wants it, and ought to he gratihed.
IF a child be stubborn or wiltui, and need
chastisement, and one parent attempts to m
flict it, let the other by all means, interfere,


with, "Poor thing, it sha'nt be banged to


DEATH" In short, let parents never agree
in what is best to be done, and the ch'ld VIII
soon know what is what, and be htted tor
many things"
If child offend, either by breaking a
plate, or in any other way, never stop to re-
feet, lest the temper should cool, but ooX Its
ears with smart blow; powerful thump
ON the head has a wonderful influence upon
the faculties.


If child begs for thing watch has been
two or three times refused, and at length
sets to crying-relcnt, and let it have the
thing cried for, by all means: 1t VIII learn
him perseverance.


AS your daughters grow up, let them run
from home in the evening, without knowing


with whom or where, for why should pa


rents be too particular. This indulgence
will fit them for several things.


A good deal of whipping is by all means
recommended; it makes children hardy, and


little shameless, and generally compels
then, to lie; but this will fit them for the
buffetings Of life.
Follow these rules, and my word for it,


children will never break their parents
hearts; for parents who have hearts to De
broken will never follow them.
