ADVICE SARCASTIC.

An American author puts the case in this fashion : .< '' , Mothers ! When your daughter perlorms a task in an ill-fashioned manner, always say, " There ! I might as well have clone it myself in the first rlace," and then take the work out of her hand and do it yourself. This will encourage the girl to try do the thing next time she is set about it. ■i

Never permit your son to have any amusement at home. This will induce him to seek it in places where you will not be annoyed by lus noise. There is no place like homo. Impress this truth upon your children by making home as disagreeable and unlike any otner place as possible. Never permit your children to contradict. Let them know that that is your peculiar prerogative. Never neglect the lock on the pantry. Some boys have probably turned out first-class housebreakers all on account of this judicious treatment in early childhood.

In chiding your children's faults, never forget to mention how much better the Jones' children behave. This will cause your ones everlastingly to love the Jones children. Take frequent occasions to tell your children how much more favored their lot is than your's was when you were a girl. It is always pleasant to children to be constantly reminded of their obligations. .Don't let your son indulge iw any kind of outdoor games. Keep him to his book?. It wi!J make a great man of him some day, if ho should happen to live. Tout girls should never be permitted to romp. Let them grow into interest ing invalids, by all means. Be gentle and courteous before company ; but if you have a temper, let your children have a taste of it as often as conyenient. A mother should never practice deception upon her brood.

Talk slightingly of your husband to your boys and girls. This will make them respect their father. Tell your child he shall not do a thing, and then let him tease you into giving your consent. This will teach him what to do on subsequent occasions. Make promises to your children, and then neglect to keep them. This will lead your children not to place too much reliance on your word, and shield' them from many disappointments. Tell your children they are the worst you ever saw, and they will, no doubt, endeavor to merit your appreciation.
