And what can be more certain*, than dial rudeness
of manner and language on the part of a mother,
will produce die same qualities iu the manner and
language of dm child. .1
Mothers should, be exceedingly watchful over
every word winch they utter, and evefy action
which they perform, and especially when in the
presence of their little pupils.
Mothers cannot be too careful in guarding
rfgainst prevarication, - l-uso the term prevarica
tion, meaning thereby those departures from ,ilu»
truth which characterise so .many mothers and
nurses, when they wish to enforce obedience on
the part of their little charge. And that I May bo
fully c.omprehVruled, I will illustrate .what I mean
by asking mothers bow often they tell their chil
dren dial “a drunken man will catch them if
dmy do so and soi*’ The impropriety of this
must be apparent to every reflecting mother. 1
have known older children, under whose care the
younger ones were placed, employ precisely (he
iyftnu means., when they wished lo be obeyed.;
These children had iuafned (hedepign of lan
guage; they knew dial what.they aaidf was false,
but they had good authority, Their ..mother

tending it, instruct their children (o attest false*

. Eveiy attention should be given by mothers (o
(each ;lliclr children,a correct- orthoepy.,; Tim
practice of talking what is IChned "baby lath,”
is absurd and . But, notwithstanding
this, wo often hear, mothers of good education
and refined taste, conversing with their children
rfftur tide styhv Mothers wupld be..“astonished
and offended were teachers to give lessons to their.
Children In this pretty-arid lovlng.Jangoasc. But'
upon what grounds could* they find
they, of leaching their children to pro
nounce correctly,,teach Jjmm by, their daily con-1
venation tlie most oti'Uandfsh oftftotfjfy. ,? 1
r would hot hayo,. mothers .employ high-flswm
words; this I would condemn In any ono, but f
would have them, pse Chaste language, and give
every word, its proper and full.qfrorrQonoiatron.
Tim proprrety.of appear plainly lb alt.
Children learn lo talk by hearing others talk, andi
as they hear others tpljr, »0< learn loi
talk. No ono is heard so'much by a child as lid
mother and p(oW{ if the. mother or mtr*e
employ an improper pfono6n6ia'(Ton of "Words
when convursing-with them, it is evident that limy
will contract the habit. Those who think differ
ently, attribute more wisdom Jo thO Child,'than id
possessed by the mother. In my estimation, a
bud orthoepy would be a good and sufficient
reason for dismissing the most careful nurso. By
attention to tiiu mutter under consideration, much
[time, labor, and expense would bo* saved, A 1
uleur enunciation tfhd a correct pronunciation',
would bu acquired by children oro they would
leave the nursery..
Another duty, to which wo would ask the at
tention of mothers, is that of answering questions.
The human mind manifests a disposition to gather
infurmotion at an early period. At first those
I things which attract its attention, and a desire to
know what they aro for, is immediately exhibited.
The desire should always bu satisfied, when made
known under proper circumstances. Mothers
know how inquisitive children arc. It U true
this inquisitiveness {s oftentimes perplexing, in
consequence of its untimely indulgence. This,
however, can bo regulated by a little care. To
be u little mom explicit Children often present
| inquiries while their mother is engaged, and can
not refhrn an answer conveniently. How to act
■ ,undef such (Circumstances lias perhaps perplexed
, mothers frequently v My opinion Is that abrupt
, ness should by all means bo avoided ; because ni
> this important time, if children are treated sngri-J
i ly, they may cease ihnir Inquiries and in this
i way the avenue to their minds will be closed, til
i least for a time. It would bo much bettor to in
form the little inquirer, jn.a kind manner, ilmi its
.inquiry would t/6 tfnsweroa at a more convenient
lime, if this course is adopted, the spirit is hot
quenched, and the child is taught patience. Very
lm|u' cure*, wutfld train V child' to act properly
while seeking Information, -
Thoro Is noMiing, mure docpjy interesting than
lo sue u child silting ai Its iftolherVslifo inquiring
for information. And a mother cannot bo more
profitably engaged, than in pouring ideas into the
mind of Irerooild ; for in this way she is to lay 1
the foundation upon which her. futurp.happiness 1
and comfort, as far as her ohildren are Concerned I
will bo built. At this time (he mind of her child
is open to rocoh? ipstrucljom luural.amJ Ihftrary, !
and if.she improves her limo’tutu opportunity,
Iter child will doubtless bo a blessing to iter and '
to the community; but if she docs not, it may )
become a curse to both. . • '
. Mothers, let ms urge you-lo entourage your
ehihiren to seek for, information. By all moans
answer their questions, and leach them to inquire
after things 4 which are important. In this way,
you will furnish, b'eantify apd adorn that spoclqfls
apartment >v|iich onr benifioetu Ofoaiur hso given,
them. Giving does not impoverish you; nor does
withholding enrich you; but the former will en
rich yonr oliild, and the latter will impoverish it.'
Nature directs your little one to look lo you for
mental, as well ns physical food, and you might
with as much propriety deny the latter as the
former. »• »
