was frightened into a dangerous illness by the injudicious course of treatment pursued towards her by hdr teacher The girl was of a sensitive nervous nature and a threat pf confinement in dark room made and partly earned into execution proved such ft shock tolier as to cause an severe enough to affect her mind One of the most reprehensible and m fact criminal of which a or teacher can be guilty is that of endeavoring to en- force obedience in a child through the ence of fear By this we mean not the wholesome fear of correction bnt the ening of the offender so aji to cause ive agitation With the exception perhaps of anger fear is terrible in its effects of any of the hamnn passions Its power ovet those who are sub- to its influence often productive of most disastrous consequences No cor- poral torture can equal the which it inflicts There are many children whose mental organization is such as to render them peculiarly susceptible of its influence and we know of nothing more deserving of reprobation and punishment than the pering with such natures by those who have charge over them Few who have not been by sad experience know the mental sufferings of a timid and nervous Many who are now in health secretly suffer from tha criminal course pursued towards thorn in their infancy for so delicate a machine is the mind and the young mind that a slight shock will cause a derangement in it which years seem powerless to Eve Jour HOMB otr THK farm preserves in its integrity the family and the that charming word and that more ming thing the fireside around which rents and children gather and where the bright and cheerful blaze upon the hearth is bnt a true type of the flame of love glowing in every heart The parents havo been drown together not by tho sordid motive of wealth or by the ambitious desire of social display but for the personal qualities seen in each other The glory of that fireside to the wife is that the husband is there and to her that be is there Here they gather at morning and at noon nnd at evening Their board is almost always surrounded with the samo circle Here they tilie long winter evenings together enlivened with tjio books of children the newspapers and works of history and science A constant homo- geneous influence goes forth from this cle to the young hearts that are moulding there Parental vigilance guards the young against wicked companions If the religions influences are right in thai home they will all grow up to be good citizens to be of society wherever their lot may be cast Tho sons follow tho business of the father ns

define the length breadth and depth of his astonishment This conversation occurred in the store of Benjamin Weston a young and enterprising merchant who had just commenced business on his own account The other person who to use expression was bang and wanted to borrow fifty dollars to make up the amount of a note day was Joseph Weston a cousin of the other They had playmates in youth and strong friends in maturity Though there was great diversity of opinion on many topics a strong sympathy existed be- tween them They had commenced business at about the same time and under nearly the same circumstances both being obliged for the want of capital to mortgage the stock in their respective Thus far they bad done well and the was that both would become wealthy distinguished merchants They had sistem and occupied tenements in the same block Their houses were furnished in substantially the same stylo and with no material difference of ex- Both had been brought up to business habits and educated into the ciples of rigid economy Forty-two dollars for re- Joe And if I had money Joseph had the advantage of his friend in possessing a better location and though his rent was somewhat higher the difference was more than compensated by the increased it afforded him The prospect was decidedly bright to him If his business increased ns it bad done he would be bled to clear himself of debt in another year Under this encouraging aspect be ed to spend a hundred in addition to his which his wife insisted was ly necessary for their house had been furr altogether too plain for this sivo age in estimation She was be- hind some of her friends who she wore no bettor than her husband Joseph was a little obstinate at first but then there was something so decidedly comr in a set of stuffed chairs and a lounge that he did hot hold out in his op- position Ho was doing would not seriously embarrass him With a nice new Brussels carpet and the new furniture Mrs Weston's little j was exceedingly pleasant nnd comfortable Besides It looted as though her was prospering in his business It was so very that the young wife could not bear the idea of parlor shut up so that no one should see it till the had grown rusty consequently she made np her mind that they must have a party Their friends had parties why shouldn't It looked stingy not to have Mrs Weston was an eloquent debater and she gained the day in this matter It is true that the party was not a very gant affair but it cost Joe fifty lars In the meantime Benjamin bad paid quite as much for advertising as his friend bad new furniture and the party Joseph laughed at him and finally came to believe that be was insane and would certainly come to within one year Mrs Ben Weston too felt decidedly un- pleasant about the improvements had been going on in her house Why can't we have a rosewood table and A set of stuffed asked she pouting har pretty lips in very position Simply mj dear I cannot the philosophical merchant How Ben afford it I I presume knows his own business He has put over a hundred dollars into bis house Ben whistled side of made no reply Do Ben bwy sonie new Can't Yes you can every debt was discharged and tho ers and jobbers were eager to give him un- limited credit One day while he was this pleasant stale of things Weston entered the store For some months past the intercourse between the young merchants had not been so cordial as formerly Joe's nice things had rather set him some of the upper ten had condescended to visit him and bo had attended tho mack parties with his wife He was getting ahead fast in his own and cherished a supremo contempt for the of bis friend But when in the middle of the year he found Ben's crowded with shoppers while bis own was empty a feeling of envy took possession pf him Ben must be un- ho concluded and sooner or later the consequences would appear The prosperous merchant could not notice the sad and dejected mien of his friend as he store
