Don't have a Scold m the Houbb.
It is a great misfortune to have children reared m the presence and under the influence of a scold. The effects of the everlasting complaining and fault-finding of such persons is to make the young who hear it unamiable, malicious, callous-hearted, and they often learn to take pleasure m doing the very thing lor which they receive
such tongue-lashing. As they are always getting tbe blame of doing wrong they think they might as welldowrong as right. They lose all ambition to strive for the good opinion of the tault-finder, since they see they always strive m vain. Thus, a scold is not only a nuisance, but a destroyer of the morals of clildren. If these unloved, dreaded people could only see themselves as others see them they would flee to the mountains m very shame, or get rid of their offensive habit.
