AS SEEN THROUGH WOMAN’S EYES.

HOME EDUCATION. ~~ The following rules are worthy of being printed in letters of gold, and placed in a conspicuous place in every household :— From our children’s earliest infancy, inculcate the necessity of instant oliedienee. Unite firmness with gentleness. Let your children always understand that you mean what you say. Never promise them anything, unless you are quite sure you can give what vou say. If you tell a child to do something, show him how to do it, ami see that it is done. Always punish your child for wilfully disobeying you, but never punish him in anger. Never let them know that they vex you, or make you lose your self-command. If they give way to petulance or illtemper, wait till they are calm ; then gently reason with them on the impropriety of their conduct. Remember that a little present punishment, when the occasion arises, is much more effectual than the threatening of a greater punishment should the fault be renewed. Never give your children anything because they cry for it. On no account allow them to do at one time what you have forbidden under the same circumstances at another. Teach them that the only sure and easy way to appear good is to lie good. Accustom them to make their little recitals with perfect truth. Never allow tale-bearing. Teach them seL-denial, not self-indul-gence. Practise the above.
