Show training children A correspondent to the inter ocean has the following to say in regard to the training of children which we herewith present to our readers how important the subject I nin glad that the infer ocean reserves borno ol 01 ita precious columns especially for the home and I am glad too that so much attention is being paid to the one subject which above all others is the most prominent in my mind yes I am a mother and deeply do I feel responsible for the little charge placed under my care and eagerly do I read any hints which I may find upon this subject how sad must be the forebodings of a parents heart when the children grow up wayward and disobedient but how happy is that home where lovo is the power and the children arc taught to obey from their earliest childhood but let me ask how are we to gain the love and esteem of our children and at the same time their obedience if it is not by firmness and lore I think it can not be dona we must first teach then truthfulness by being ourselves our selve truthful I do dislike to bear any one cay to a child ill kill you ill cut your ears off etc when knows that such language is false many mothers tell their children to do a thing and then suffer them to go off to play without doing what they were asked to do thinking the child too young to be made to mind I tell you children know more that we are aware off they know when we speak kindly and when we do not they know when we mean a thing and when we do not we cannot to them our own example bow carefully the child watches ita mother and how soon it will is in the habit of practicing or telling falsehoods never tell my little girl she can go out to ride without taking her nor do I tell her papa is coming when he is not even in the minutest thing I strive always to tell her the truth although she is not one year old she understands what I say lei us be careful in little let us be firm and by training our children well when young we are laying the foundation for future years we as mothers are accountable to god for the way we have trained our children the child i not to blame if it grows up hateful earcy disobedient and awkward so are the children in refinement as well as all other things therefore in behalf of a nation which n after years our children shall govern in order that peace and happiness fill our land and possess our homes in behalf of all that is true good and noble I urge you as mothers train the children teach them as they climb on your knees and lisp your name the beauty of truth spread around them suns shine and happiness let their homos be worthy the namo of home never let discord between husband and wife mar the comfort of the children it them have nothing but pleasant remembrances of home let tho fire ido be a school in which the child can date back as being clr birthplace of all his better principles how sweet to the starting out in life to bear with him the re nem branco of parents and kind bisters how he lingers on the threshold for one more grasp of fathers hand one more kis from mothers sweet lips one fond embrace of loving sister why even alie thought of such a home would keep him from vice and crime if ho should fall into bad company yes his mothers loving rebuke stamped GO indelibly on his mind would be of diore value to him than the corn mand of a statesman lot us jhc thc n try by all that we owe to our country our common sense our parent our happiness our future hopes to first make our own homo happy by our smiles our kindness our humility if need be let us not be too proud to say please to our children if we wish them to say the same to us we be their example in all things how often do we hear the child say that is how mother did we are blessed with noble patrons who have left their indelible footprints on the sands of time yes the prosperity of our nation shows that many of our forefathers were noble men and women and shall we fall below them when we should bo in advance of them ah no the march still continues and the principles bated by thota who now sleep in their graves live on and still shall live and we though we may not live to see the effects of our labors yet our children will blees us I he nation will be aad we will rest at lait peacefully while our souli will pass on to a greater reward TUB MARCH number of the wr lular comes to us a full
