Underly ing the c yer-changing complexi ty of phcnometui' is the never changing, inflexible, sternly co herent law, so much superior to the puny will and strength of man that one wonders at even the careless application to it of the term "violation."

There are some subjects which cannot be; too' often, nor too im pressively, brought before the public. As. the" most important of this class of subjects, may be mentioned family government. Parents should remember that the! character of the inhabitants of the earth during the next, and it may be for many succeeding generationsdepends almost en tirely on thq manner in which they govern their, uTap ring at home Under their own roof. Properly governed children at home, rarely ever fail to niake good citizens to the extent of their natural endowments ; whilst 'mis governed children as rarely make good citizens 7 A well governed family is a nursery iu which choice scions are rearing for both Church and rotate. No salutary form of State government can be established by those who have been misgoverned in . childhood at home Parents who neglect to exercise, properly, the authori ty which God . has delegated to them over their offspring, are rearing thorns and thistles for the State, and plaining thorns in heir own pillows which will tor ment on a dying coUch. This Is 'hot all. By the ordi nance of heaven weenterthe path thatjeads to heaven, or the broad road that leads to perdition under the parental roof. Parents are generally particular with regard to the choice of associates and companions for their son's and daughters ; but, too otten, parents themsclyes are not good assocU ates foVfchildren. Led by the in stincts, i nature, children follow thei r.fiarents, As a rule, children j' - PP114 ---and. f1is'apiiroyfMf pivery thing that meets the approbation or disapprobation of their parents. They, in every respect, are like their parents' This is true na turally, and by the power of asso ciation, what is natural becomes habitual. , Bad parents make their offspring ba3, and good pa rents impress their likeness upon t h ei r clii Id ren . If parents wou Id be more careful in. Jhe manage ment of their children,,; there would be less crime in tie world than is, and fewer on the road that leads to everlasting destruction.
