excellent paper from Eire. Ilarvey Ham,
of Bruaeele. She said :-
There is a structure which every body 15

self. It is called Oharaoier,.and every act m
life is a atone, If day by day we be careful •
to build our lives with pure, Huila, upright

a man are no more a character than a hand-
ful of seeds 18 an orchard of fruits. Plant
the seeds Had tend them well and they will
make an orchard. Oaltivate the powers u0d
harmonize thein well and they will make a
noble character. A subtle tlung is a charac-
ter and a constant work is required in its
formation. Whether it be good or bud it has
been long in its growth and is the aggregate
millions of little mental acts. A good Maar-
aeter is a precious thing, above rubies, crowns
or kingdoms and the wort* ai *nuking it, the
noblest labor on earth. Not without design
has God implanted in the maternal brevet
that strong love of their children which ie
felt everywhere. This lays deep and broad
the foundation for the clnld's future uduea-
tion from parental hands. Parents and all
well wiahera of humanity cannot be too earn-

be estimated from the e prerogative

home to make the first impressions on our
nature and to give that nature Its 11*00 direc-
tions onward and upward. It makes the first
name and sets the nret goal upon the plastic
nature of the child. It gives the first tons
to the desires and furnishes ingredients
that will either sweeten or imbitterbittor the

These are like the 'deep borings into the
flinty rock," Even the model lives wider the
influence of a pious mother's rmpl•ehsfone.

straining influence of a little prayer his
mother taughtght him when n child. 11 preserv-
ed him from the clutches o1 avowed infidelity.
Children are more easily lndto be gaud by
example
of loving kindness and tales of
well

obedience bysof eio, crime and pun-
ishments. 'Thesease on the infant mind impress
sincerity truth, honesty, benevolence and
their kindred virtues and the welfare of the
child will be insured, not only during this
life but the life to come. ' most 111000r

At ahpasto ahat l confer`enrce held
not long since, at tvnimh about 1,".e clergymen
united In the bonds of a common faith, were
assembled, each was invited to state the
human instrumentality to which, under the
Divine blessing, he attributed a change of
heart. How many of these thins you gave
the honor of it to their mother t Above one •
hundred. The mother has first and most to
do with the oharaoter while it is yet in that
fle.�2ble suite to receive its shape. The ear-
liest exorcises of thought, emotion, will and
conscience are carried on under her eye. Both
mind and heart are in her hands at that
good r for evil. The children learn to lisp
their nest words, and to form their first ideas
under her teaching. They are almost always
in her company, and are, insensibly tothem-
selves and Imperceptibly to her, receiving a
right or wrong bras from her. The first
model of character they witness is hers; the
first exhibitions of right and wrong in prau-
tice are what they see in her and they aro the
constant observers of the passions, the graces,
the virtues, and the faults which come forth
in her words, temper and actions. She is
therefore, unconsciously to herself, educating
them, not only by designed teaching but by
all she says or does in their presence. Chil-
dren
hirdren are imitative creatures. Speech is the
effect of imitation, not intuition, and as elnl-
dreo so early and so insensibly learn to re•
peat sounds so may they aiso learn to copy
actions and habits. This, of course, applies
to the mother in a fuller sense than it does to
the father, just because she is more constant-
ly with therm in the early stages of their
existence. Parents, then, should be thor-
oughly acquainted with the work that is
allotted to them, I speak not of the physical
training, that is 001 my department but ok
their social, moral end *011710 a education.
Their object and ditty is the formutiou of
character. They have not only to communi-
cate knowledge but habits, especially to cul-
tivate the heart and to regulate the life.
Their nim must be, not only what their chil-
dren are to know but what they are to be
and do, They must look at them as the
future members of eoeiety, heads or bungles
of their own, and probationers for eternity.
Many have no other idea of education than
the communication -et knowledge, Much has
been said on the distinction between instruc-
tion and education, They are by fro meals
synonymous. The etymology of the two
words is worth considering. '17o"instruct"
is derived from a Latin word, which signifies
to put 011 or in." To instruct is therefore,
simply to put knowledge into the mind, The
word "educate," cameo also from a .Latin
word, which signifies "to lead or draw forth."
To educate, therefore. moans to draw out
the faculties of the soul, to Dill into exoreio0
and invigorate its intellectual and moral
powers. .Both together constitute the duty
of those who have to form the oluu•aetor.
Ideas roust be poured in, and the recipient
must be taught what to do with tlt0rn. We
must look upon our children with the idea
that they have to live in two worlds and to
ant a part in both and it is our ditty to begirt
their education for both and to lay in infancy,
the foundations of their oharaeter and hap•
pluses for time and eternity. As We care•
fully think of this and comprehend low
deeply the childhood training tnnuenees the
future of the child, do we not each of us 00
parents r0a1ize that too much tiruc, care and
thought cannot bo spout in the moulding of
the child's character entrusted to our cure,
for who but God can measure truly the in -
finance of the uplifting training of the poroma
and will we not, ouch one of us, more smears.
ly, more truly, more reverently tisk the dirue-
tron of the good God to guide us every day
oo we try to uplift not only the livee of the
