ON TIIE MANAGEMENT OF YOUNG

From s Treatise 01Dsmrrlie Economy
by Min Catharine E. Beecher.
Children can be very easily taught that
their beppinces, both new and hereafter, de-
pends on the formation of /orbit! of subnnisr
lion, self denial, and intro/nice. Acid all
the discipline of the nursery can he conduc-
led by the r'arents, not only with this gene

of the children, 1Vbenever their %Ashen
ere crossed, or their wills subdued, they can
be taught, that all this is done, not merely
to please the parent, or to encore some good
to the,nelves nr to others ; big as a part
of that merciful training,, which is designed
to form such a character, and such habits,
that they can hereafter find their chief hap -
Pine's in giving up their will to Goa, and in
living to do good to ethers, instead of lir-
Ing merely to nle.se themtelve.,
1t can be pointed ant to them, that they ,
must always submit th'-ir w' II to the will of
God, or else be co ,tinual!y miserable. It
can be shown how. in the nursery, and in
else ectinnl, and throngh all future Jaye, a
child mud practice the giving up of his will
aad wishes, when they interfere with the
rights and comfnrt of others : and how im-
portant it ie. early to learn to do (hie, so
that it will; t by habit, become easy and
agreeable. It eatable shown, how children,
whn are indulged in all their wishes, ,and
who are never accustomed to any self deni-
al, alwars find it hard to refrain from what
Injures themselvice and others. it can be

towards ooh -rd. It can he shown, also
how important It 1a, ter every person, to
form such habits of benevoleuce, towards
others, that self denial, in doing good. will
"become easy.
Parents bare learned, by experience, that
-children can be .constrained by authority'
and penalties, to exercise self-denial, .for
(heir Olen gond, till • habit is formed, which
makes the duty comparatively easy. For
example, Well trained children can be ac-
cn"toured to deny themeelrps tempting - sr•
ticks of food, which are injerioue, until the
practise ceases to be painful end difficult. —
Whereas, an indulged child w'tuld be
thrown into its Mit of angst nr dircontent,
when in wishes were crossed; by restraints
of this kind.
But it had been so readily discerned, that
the tune method is needful, in order to
loom • habit of self denial, in doing good to
others. it has been supposed. Hint, while
children most be furred, by authority, to be
self-denying and prudent. In regard to their
own happiness, i1 may properly be left In
their nwn discretion, whether they will
practice any Rolf denial in doing good to
other.. But the more difficult a ditty is, the
greater is the need of parental anthnrity, in
fornriegahabit, which will maks that duty
eaay.

brings its own puoisbr4tent, and atria, its own

that agitated and disgraced Canada eight months
ago were tin heinous—too lir out of the ordinary
course of human conduct—too supperlatively
barbarous and wicked to pass unpuni.h-d. To
suppose 'fiat such grove atrocities should not be
visited with punishment, would lea virtual denial
not only of the doctrine of cause and effect. but
also of the moral principle. upon which the world
is governed. But if the iniquity allu ted to, was
remarkable for its wickedness, the punishment
has beeo no len surprising. It bas been sod-

were perm-mr.1rd by • few recklen ignorant men
under the sanction and direction of a whole

tratiene is lost sight of in the signal discomfiture
and total destruction of the whole party. Never,

Ws are persuaded that the Conner would
not love us one whit more by being inform-
ed that we are a Jew or a Mormon ; and
yet we know of no moral argument why a
Jew or a Mormon should be debarred from
one civil pining,. or be laid under one sin-
gle additional bond on account of the peen•
lierity of his faith. "To In own Muter
he stands or fele,"—and in the things of
this life, at leant, he seems to participate,
in common, the bountiful favors of [leaven.
We regret that the Courier should charge
us with nceasioully employing our talents
and ineu.Dee, as a writer, to' the injury of
amfellow men. This, however, is ileo a
matter of opinion upon which it is cot I:ke •
1y that the Carrier and we should agree.—
We are not aware that we have ever writ -
:en one line calculated to injure morality or
true religion. We have slu lied always, in
our dealings with mankind, and particularly
in our writings, to be guided by truth—to
co as touch good and as little evil as possi-
ble, and where we bave failed, the fault was
not in the intention. The first edition of
the work to which the Courier refers, and,
of which, as a literary production,,- he en:er-
tains a good opinion, was published ten
years ago, and although it doss contain
some strange opinions, y.1 it was review-
ed at !lie time, by tees who are no mean
critics in these matter., as era work embo-
dying as great an amount of original think-
ing, and as great r) number of great truths
forcibly and fearlessly expressed, as we have
read in the same number of pages, for a
long mate."
'.Vo beg to direct the attention of
our readers to the Address of the Rev'd.
William Graham, at a Meeting in Mr. Car-
nnchan's School House, for the purpose•uf
establishing a Subscription Library in the
'Township of Teckersmith. We. have nei-
ther time nor space at present to exgitiate
on Ole sentiments of Mr. Graham's address,
and perhaps a more ebbetantial and saen-
factory reason for our letting it done, is,
that it requires neither comment nor eulo-
git),m from aro. B it we feel a pleasure in
complimenting the Farmers of Tucker -
smith on this movement, the object 0!
which seetne,•to us, as one u( the first im

• keen and zealot's political partizan, and
perhaps we hare honestly earned this repu-
tation ; bat we speak the feelings (Jour

more; real gratification in the establishment
of ore Town or Township Library, r r one

tablishment of fifty branches of the British

ler is that point of view the. rough Ceoadian

European continent. If, as Dr. /Anion said,
agriculture be the wealth of • nation, and the
qtly riches which .he can call her ow., surely
it is equally true of meatal productions. The
only menial wealth which a nation or province
has uodtr God, is what her owe mental energies
produce. The pages of the Colonist, Globe and
other Canada. newspapers. fugitive publications
though they be, will de more for the promotion
of a provincial literature, than the importation
of tate Edinburgh Witoese or the London Times.
It a l.ibery be established in thin place, it may be
lookedon as the germ ofa mechanics' institute,
and sorely it will be a rational way for young and
old is endeavor to improve their minds. Though
the place be at preaeot not altogether destitute
of books, yet these, in as far as we kcow, are
chiefly religious publicatiooe, not that we would
inansag that there is a sepenbuudaoce of these,
but there is for more of them in proportion than of
any other kind. Since the printing prem le so
extensive in in operations. and since purch.ee
of books may be made at such low prices in the
Slane, there is much encouragement for expect-
ing that a comparatively small sum may go far
in this way. And let all kinds of good reading
be encouraged. You may get Macaulay's his-
tory of England, it the people's'ditioo be taken
at half a dollar, of which far spread work, thou-
sands of copies have been reprinted in America.
if you purchase Memors let them be read and
profited by, whether they be of the scientific.
the literary or the religious cast. It you wish
dircrurses on philosophy or poetry, let the best
informed of your number be appointed to make a
choice, and let neither divi. ion, wast of psbkc
0101 or want of liberality, which se hemmetly
proves baneful to Canadian anterprise, hinder yon
oo this occasion. If • deb•1(6g society come to
be connected with the proepeetive library, let
right sobjeeu be chases, let dtse.seioos be held
felt rreth and not for victory, let • chairmes be
appointed ad good order maintained Trona firs t
tenet, bat my appeehes.is is, that though all
these things were established, the main benefit
must con own to be connected with the readieg
of the library, mid with pondering ie the mind
the iofnrmarion which it might contain. And
perhaps it would be wiser for mere time to come
to attempt nothing beyond that. For this pur-
pose let a committee be .hoose, • secretary, •
treasurer .ad librarian be appointed,nod after the
bmka.re received let written catalogues of their
mimeo be circulated till the inetitutioo become
sufficiently strong to purchase printed catalogues.
Let • yearly meeting be held for general 4osi-
nenaand let there be a sabordinnte standing
committee throughout the year to attend to bus--.
ane, and to submit a yearly report to the 1
meeting. Perhaps It may be judged a wise pro-
vision to exclude all political writidp, but if ant
let some of the .'mdard European periodicals be
imported as republished in the Stems, such as
Blackwood's Magazine, the Westminster Re-
view, sad the Edinburgh Review, that people of
melees diodes et politics may see their respec-
ve opinion• ', ray represented, sod to these
might be added, • @apply of the best Provincial
pobiieatioos, on the pound of encouraging home
manufactures, and certainly with all the faults of
the Praviheial newspapers it holds a high rank is
18.19, to what it did in 11343. All controversial
pehllsbtions on religion shnold be excluded as
this night tend to weaken and divide the iosti-
tation, though this is by oo means ioteaded to
exclude books on the evidence of Christianity.—
Dr. Paley oo this subject has long held a eery

traduced with very good effect, while the intro-

TO TIIE ELECTORS OF TIIE TOWN
OF LONDON.
Wbun you Jid iiia the honor to dioose
me as your representative at the last elec-
tion, y.ou rcquir d no pledge, and none was
given, except that i should endeavor to
carry out Responsible Government as ad-
m'nistereJ in England. Although no posi-
tive pledge wog given, it was, however, ge-
nerally understood that I should act with
tete Conservative party then in power. , As
fur, therefore, as that party has acted con-
aratcatly with its profeutuos, m matataia-
ing constitutional principles, so far I have
acted with it. But, ahen, instead of carry-
ing out Responsible Goverameot, oldest tow
were evinced of determination to rule or
to subvert the very principles of good gov-
ernment, then 1 felt' cosstramtd to state
opinions which were at variants' with the
sentiments of a considerable peetion of tau
party with whom I acted. And now, as
events have prog d, aod'the teeigse of
the party have become more fully develop-
ed, i em compelled to reiterate my eeati-
rnents, and to dtselaim all participation in
feeling and action will, that party. Wheu
the Bill, which hey urs great meaaure been
deceptively cf.attsetenud as the eau -e o1
subsequent outrages was passing, 1 took
oeeaeioD to speak of It is "itch terms se iu
my judgment it ',tented, sad 1 opposed It,
while it could be honestly opp iced. But
when it bad passed through both branches
of the Legislature, 1 could we no course
r left for the bead of -the executive got.ro-
- meat but to assent to it. If he bad declin-
ed, he would have been justly chargeable,
not only with a breach of faith in pen -antes
a measure to be introduced appropnating a
part of the Consolidated Revalue, and then
dissenting from it, but he would have found
his blustery ready to resign on a pint con-
sidered as a test and a first pr:octple of the
Constitution. An appeal to the country
would have been the cossegusnce, but the
recent elections had shown what the country
felt. No one, indeed, of either patty, ever
doubted but that the result of a Dew enc.
tient would have been substantially the same
as that jus efee'teii. &aides, the reear,a
lion of the Bill would have thrown opo. the
Ministry of England a responsibility which
in my opinion suss properly avoided. It,
however, immediately became apparenl,t hat
the indignation which, if well merited,
should have been thrown upou the project-
ors of the measure, and upon those wbo
voted for it, was levelled es a personal mat-
ter upon the head of the Government- Bo-
- I.cving that thus was unjust, at the fame
time thinking that the course suggested for
• his adoption in reference to this measure,
y would only distract and agitate the coun-
try ; and feeling the enormity of the out
• rage which had "tat bees perpetrated, 1
availed myself of the first opportunity to
expiates sty views to the effect,
•' That Her Majority's • dignity ahoold be
- insulted in the person of her Representative,
- —that the Legislative. Assembly in the
- peaceful prosecution of its constitutional la-
b hors should be outraged so grossly,—ghat
t l the (louses of Parliament of the country
.1 should he w;l;'uliy set fire to,—its records
destroyed.—its noble sod unique libraries
both consumed amidst the savage and exul-
ting shouts of a mob, not of the lowest or •
der.,—were circumstances well calculated
to excite the saddest appreheuione aad the
most painful feelings. There air, oeea-
.Iona when silence was a crime, ani they
were now the actors on ■doh an occasion.
He said he would be brief, bet he would
' peek plainly, and be hoped, as beeatne a
rational man. --!t might be that be bad mis-
It
understood the messing of terms, but he
had esteemed loyalty to his Sovereign, a
dr y g1,
inseparable from respect to her laws, and
therefore, he held (hose men, or those cies -
soli of men who could trample upon law and
order were essentially disloyal, their bois-
terous protestations to the contrary Dot-
wrthatanding. In this, there wt, no ques-
tion as to whether the Act was wise or un-
wise, expedient or inexpedient, which was
said to bare given nee to this sad tumult.
Whatever was its character, 11 was carried
by the only means known to our law., and
assented to, as it might properly be, by the
Represeotative of the Sovereign, se a con-
stitutional right. No hon. member of the
House had felt more ,troegly, or spoken
morn decidedly against the passing of that
measure by the House than he bad done ;—
yet, he said that however meek' be mild
have wished that the bill had neither been
introduced nor passed by the Hoose, he
should have regretted the necessity that
could ander fixture`` eircumstances, have
compelled His lrscellewey to withhold kis
assent from the Bill. While, therefore, a.
• mere measure, apart from a commits limit
q,iestton, he deeply regretted aad should al-
ways regret, the pacing of the Bill, be said,
e nd he said it boldly, that he was glad that,
as the test and exercise ofa eooatft.Uo.aI
right amidst threats, both whispered std
avowed, it did receive the Royal assont.—
it would not have been wise in the Rory-
tontattooto have withheld his assent from
this hill, if then had bass no other ra.oas
than to .bow that the exercise of the fooe-
imeos of the Sovereign were 001 to be inh-

The public ■re well aware that an advertise
meat has been before them since the 5th Nov
last, end that is tense of the same the Tender
were to be opened on certain days. Asd the
are also aware tbat on thew days certain of the
Tenders were not opened, and that no de&nit
action war takes os' any of them. These (acts
have (and wetly so) crested tip excitmentoe
the mind of the public which requires to be al

shall state m far as I know them.
At the last stoop of the Council, 1 heard read

commt:tee to report en, and 1 bave iscertaised
from the District Clerk that the result rasa enr-
diel approval thereof, and immediate action direc-

for Tenders as i have stated above. Previous to
