If there is any one quality that would seem to predominate over every other in the Amer ican character it is irreverence. Our people appear to entertain very little rospectfor gov ernment, law or constituted authority, at least whenever cither interferes with their interests or restrains their will. They have but little respect for time, place, persons or thing. Noithcr is their irrcvenee of a negative char acter morely, it is position. It is not that they arc deficient in respect, but that they treat with disrespect .marly everything that in olden timos always was, and in other lands still is treated with rcvorence and respect. Tho dosiro to establish a manly indepen dence of character has contributed to foster an inordinate degree of .self-importance, which wrapt up in thc intensity of its own selfish ness, too often forgets what is due to others. Among no other people perhaps is thc irreve rent usc of God's nanto HO common, in no other country do public speakers or writers for thc press make such irreverent nplicntion of scriptural incidents and quotations, wllilo thc manner of entering the churches on Sunday, tho heavy tramp of tho heels on thc floor, rever berating through the aisles, shows how small tho revei etico felt for tho character of thc building or tho purposo for which it was erec ted. Every rule established for thc hotter se curity of order in public places is.systematically violated, and conveniences supplied for thc ac commodation of tho public are almost certain to bc broken up and destroyed. if wc aro asked whence this irreverence to every thing entitled to respect,we must say that it is owing to the want of proper domestic training in early lifo. Sonio parents think it best to permit ohildrcn to grow up with very little or no restraint until they aro of sullioiont ago to enablo thom to know right from wrong. Wiso parents, how little they know thc forao ol habit. Solomon thought differently when he said " Train up a child in the way he fJiould go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." If ft child bo allowed to run or trump loudly through tho houso, with his hat on, and whistling as ho goes, to talk loudly at tho dinner table, quarrel for his scat, call for whut ho wants, nud grumbles if he does not get it, enters into un argument with, and contradicts, his parents, and that flatly, too, Is it not a training to irroveronoo ? If he is not taught to respect thc houso of his father and tho ta ble ot which ho is fed, how is he to learn rev erence for the house of Hod, when he is a man ? If he is not taught to respect tho opin ions, authority and agc of his parents, what other opinions or what other authority will he ever learn to reverence ? Or in whut other persons will ho ever learn to reverence agc ? If the parent yields to the importunities of the child what he refusal at first, does he not foster and strengthen the wilfulness of thc child? If he allows him to do to-day what he punished him for doing yesterday, ho muy teach him to know when his parent is in good or bsd humor, but he docs not toach him to know right from wrong. Kindness united with firmness is far superior ns a minister to education, to harshness accompanied by occa sional familiarity. The first wins upon thc heart whilo.it commands respect, the other hardens the temper while it destroys respect. The word training implies a regular system steadily and always operating in the same di rection, and is entirely compatible with thc utmost, gentleness of tuan nor. What the child is, with some exceptions, oh icily depends upon thc training of thc pa rents, and thc child is said t o be thc father of the man. Tn order to educate n mnn, there fore, that he may reverence Hod and every thing that is his, that he may reverence age, and, while claiming fully all that properly be longs to himself, that bc may not forgot what is duo to others, wc must begin at the begin ?'S- _ ^ ^_ Tho Bachelor's Soliloquy Bless my soul ! I'm thirty-nine to-day ; six foot in my stockings, black eyes, curly hair, tall and straight as n cedar of Lebanon, and still a bachelor ! Well, it's an independent life, at least-no it isn't, cither ! Here's these new gloves of minc full of little rips, string off ono of my most faultless dickeys, nice silk handkerchief in my drawer wants hemming, top button oil' the waistband of my pants; what's 'o be done? How provoking it is to soc those married people looking so self-satis fied and consequential, at thc head of their families, as if they had done the State a great Bcrvice. Why, as to children, they are ns plenty as Hies in August, and about as troub lesome ; every alley, and court, and garret is swarming with them ; they're no rarity, and I any poor mis?rable dc-([ beg pardon!) wretch, can get a wife, enough of them, too, such as they am. lt's enough foseare a man to death to think how much it costs to keep ono. Vonng folks have to begin now whore ! their fathom and mothers left off. Silks and j satins, ribbons and velvet, feathers and flow- | ora, cufl'-pins and bracelets, gimcracks and folde-rols ; and there's no help for it in my case-for if I married a woman T loved, and the dear little thing should ask nie for my scalp, I should give it to her, I know 1 should. Then there's thc tapestry carpets, and mirrors, nnd sofas, and ottomans, and damask curtains, and pictures, nnd crocke-ry, (and you must look at the subject in all its bearings) little jackets and frocks, and wooden horses and j dolls, and pop-guns, and ginger bread ; don't believe 1 cnn d> it, by .Jupiter! But then, here I sit, with the toe of my best boot kick ing the grate, for the want of something bet ter to do: it's coining awful cold, dreary weather, long evenings, can't go to concerts | forever, and when I go, my room looks so ; much the gloomier when I come back, and it would be cosy to haven nice little wife to chat and laugh with. I've tried to think of some thing else, but T can't; if I look in the fire, I am sure to see a pair of bright eyes; even the shadows on the, wall take fairy shapes. I'm on the brink of ruin-I feel it. I shall read my doom in the marriage list beforo long -I know 1 shail. Heaven holp me, for there's no living with a better half, so they say; and may I bc refused if 1 can get along without one.
