Disciplining Children.
Spare the rod and spoil the child, is
a proverb often quoted, and undoubted­
ly it many times turns the scales in fa­
vor of a “whipping” in the mind doubt­
ful if that is just the punishment need­
ed. One may abstractly believe in cor­
poral punishment, but when it is put in
nractice, our having the real welfare of
a child in view cannot be satisfied with
the result of such discipline. Do we
want a child to obey because st must, or
through love and trust? A great step is
gained when a child is assured that its
own good is always the object of our
discipline. Will a child believe this
when a blow is struck? A blow is al­
most always the result of impatience if
not anger. Jean Paul says “Parents
and teachers would more frequently
punish according to the line of exact
justice, if, after every fault in a child,
they would only count four and twenty, 1
or their buttons, or their fingers. ” When
a child is struck by a mate it strikes
back; it is at once angry. The child is I
afraid to strike a parent, but the feeling
with which it could be done is arousea
and nothing but the superior strength
of the parent subdues the child, and be­
cause it gets no relief from striking back
the anger aroused is all the more dan­
gerous; it reacts on the child and each
time it occurs gives another chance to ,
develop a set of feelings that bad much
better not be aroused at all. Inharmo­ I
nious conditions between parent and
of a child's
child will stunt the growth
[
nature, and there w rill come a time in
the future when the chasm between
parent and child will be too broad to
Dridge over, all because of careless and
injudicious treatment, begun when the
child was nothing but a bit of soft clay
and could have been so easily moulded
if we could only have looked ahead and
seen what was to be the consequence.
A youug child is a mass of possibilities.
Much depends upon the conditions of
development There is a decided, latent
brutal force
foree in every child, and it is to
this that we appeal when we resort to
corporal punishment.
The sense of
shame is deadened in a child that is
punished with a whip, and then he is
an easy prey to the vices that are around
him. Felix Adler goes so far as to say
in one of his recent sermons to parents,
that if whipping was forbidden by law,
there would be a large decrease in our
criminal classes in the next generation.
It is strange, but can be proved by sol­
diers, hunters, by incidents in the
French revolution, and by the treatment
of slaves, that wrathful cruelty can be
fanned into pleasurable sensation. As
it is an assured fact that this cruelty
exists in human nature, is it not a posi­
tive wrong to do anything to develop
it? Is it not better to avoid all chance
of its being made a prominent feature
in the character?— Hone Dalton, in (Jood-

“Yes, there is a difference between a
gem and a diamond,” said a State
street jeweler; “a gem is a perfect dia­
mond, or a perfect precious stone of any
kind.
When a diamond merchant
speaks of a gem he means something in
which there is uo fault or flaw, no im-
yerfection of color, shape or cut The
ifference between a gem and a dia­
mond may be as wide as that between
a ’plug’ horse and a thoroughbred
racer. One stone may be worth 830,
aud auother of exactly the same size I
may be worth f 100, or even more. Not
one person in a thousand can tell agem
from a fairly good stone. The weight,
also, is small index to the size of a dia­
mond as it appears iu a setting. A karat
stone may appear as small as this—o—
or it may be nearly twice as great in
circumference, like thia—O. A gem
must be cut so correctly that a hair's-
breadth is far too wide to measure the
filane of the different facets by. Every
acet must be of precisely the same size
as every other facet of like position. Its
angle, too, must be geometrically cor­
rect The glory of a diamond is its re­
fractive power. Without light the dia­
mond is as useless as a pretty picture,
though it is a very common belief
among people who have never handled
diamonds that the stones have light in

even
in complete darkness. Another com­
mon error is that the diamond cannot I
be broken or injured, and 1 have known
of fine stones being ruined by foolish
persons who hit them with hammers in
an effort to illustrate the hardness of
their gems. The diamond is very brit­
tle and is easily injured bv a slight
blow or fall. Diamonds will burn, too,
under a heat sufficient to melt bar iron.
They are nothing but pure carbon, and
they may be reduced to graphite and
finally to carbouic acid gas. The purest
stones are highly transparent and col­
orless, but more generally there is some
tint, like white or gray. Brown, blue,
green, yellow and red are very rare,
while black is met with once in a life­
time. In all my experience I have seen
but two blaelf diamonds. John Rice, of
the Tremont House, owns one of them.
The other is in New York.”— Chicago

In 1881, in the Sagadahoc County
court, held in the oily of Bath, Me., a
case for assault and battery came up
for trial: Mrs. O. vs. Mr O.; Judge G.
for plaintiffand Lawyer L. for defend«
ant Mr. O., by the way, kept a gro­
cery store in a small country town, also

sitting-room.
Mrs. O- had testified that Mr. O. had
I lushed her with such violence that she
ell from a platform to the ground and
injured her side in consequence of the
fall, etc.
When Mr. O. came upon the stand
he swore that Mrs. O. first pushed him.
As Judge G. rose to begin the cross-
examination of the defendant Mr. O.
braoed up with an evident determina­
tion that*the lawyer should nut “brow*
beat” him.
Judge G. Mr. O., what is your bust*
ness or profession?
Mr. O. —I am a merchant, sir, and a
government officer, sir.
Judge G. —What office do you bold
hold
under the governments
Mr. O.—-1 am the postmaster of my
own town, sir.
Judge G. -Did 1 understand you to
•ay that you pushed Mrs. O. down?
Mr. O.—No, sir. 1 said that I push­
ed her, and she fell down. But first
•be pushed me.
Judge G.— How hard did aha push
you?
Mr. O —She pushed me as hard aa 1
pushed her, sir.
Judge G-—Did you lose your equili­
brium when she pushed you?
Mr. O.—-No» sir, 1 did not lose my
equilibrium. 1 had no equilibrium to
lose, for 1 never had any, sir [very em­
phatic]; and 1 don’t think that you aa a
lawyer hgve any fight to ask me any
such questions, sir.
Judge G. simply replied: “Oh, I beg
pardon 1 I was not aware that you
hadn’t any equilibrium.” — ¿former's
