If possible, parents, teach your chil­ dren to do work suitable and proper for their age. If a mistake is ¡made, do not reprove them sternly. Kindly point it out, if unnoticed, and allow them to undo or correct it, if it is in their power. Mothers are often so hurried and worried with work and the care of children, that they feel or think they have no time to teach them to cut out simple articles, or to do sew ing, knitting, etc. The oldest daughter is usually taught those useful arts as early asheraixth year. There seems to be time to instruct her, as the wants of those younger do not yet need atten­ tion in that way. The oldest son, too, 1» early called to help about work. Younger sisters wait on the little ones, and often spond the rest of their time in-play. Recreation is neces­ sary, but if kept up too long, fatigue is the result. Boys and girls, whose home is on a farm have peculiar ad- vant-iges for learning to do work suited to their capacity. The well-kept dis­ trict schools of the country are pleas­ ant places in which to gain knowledge. The long walks to and from school, with fields of grain and orchards bor­ dering on the road, have charms for healthy, happy children. Aftor sup­ per, when the evening work is done, the lamps are lighted, and lessons studied. Beading and play have a share of their attention also.
