r.lHEXT?S DEPABT.nEAT,
From the Mother*^ Magazine. 15
j c
rosilrdllinK the Conscience.
Mrs. W.?Madam,-You ask me, Where! \
lies the secret of a mother's control over i
the conscience of her son ! And you en-!,
couraged me to answer from experience, as ^
far as 1 can recollect, wherein lay the secret j
of my mother's control over my conscience .
i:i my boyhood and youth. (
I can assure you, Madam, that if you had
not furnished me the inspiration of this sug- ,
gestion, I should not have sent you a single j
line. But as you permit mo to talk about ,
iny mother, I cannot be silent. There never ,
was any theme that waked up the inspiration (
of my soul like this. But you have left me
the task of analyzing your question, and (
this I consider quite herculean. I will at- .
tempt an answer however, if you will allow
me to begin with the negative. I say then,
it did not itc 111 the fact that she teas my
mother. Just such a woman as my mother
was, would have controlled me if she had :
not stood in that high relationship. If! had
been picked up from the street, cast out and I
abandoned of my real mother, and been
committed to her who was mylother, and
she had swathed 1110 and named me; and 1
my infant ears had been filled with the story
of my having been a foundling, and that
she who soothed me and nursed me, was
not my mother, this fact would have made
110 difference in my feelings towards that
blessed woman. The young mind formed,
its close and deathless attachment before it
cared about the relationship, or could know |
its meaning; and if not secured before this
question is analyzed, it is lost forever.
I put my young eyes upon many a mothor,
who was attempting to regain authority
over the wayward child in its frolics, by i
pleading a mother's relationship; but I never !
saw the case, when a mother, by that plea,
gained a mother's affections, or a mother's
control. I have seen the child strike the
face of that mother, while this plea was upon
her lips, without any more emotion than if!
she hud been a monky or a cat; and from !
that moment onward, that mother, under
that plea, gained no ascendency, till the
ruined child would at length curse her to her '
lace, and let her serve him when toil and old
age had worn out her nature. I have seen
those children vagabonds invariably, into the
bargain. I never struck my mother; and
if my hand should wither up before I reach
T _l. _ 11 I 1 11 I
,nX sravt?1 Si'au nave no sucn recouccnon
to torture me. There never was that moment
since I slept on her besom, and she :
lifted my little chin to make me smile, and ,
sung to me that soft sweet lullaby that sooth- j'
ed me to rest,?since then, there never was <
a moment when 1 could have been angry !
enough to strike my mother. And when I j'
heard that she was dying, I fell on my knees j
and asked the Lord that 1 might sec her alive,
or be permitted to die with her.
Excuse my wandering, and I will go on
to talk about my mother. In saying that
her control over me did not arise wholly J
from the relationship, I do not mean to say
that after thought and reason began, the
* ' idea of kindred did not enter into, modify,
control, and elevate the attachment. But 1
she had grappled my conscience long before, s
and I dared not offend her because she had j
loved me and sung to me, and soothed nie. .
Soon as I began to think, and reason had to \
do with my obedience, Truth then came in j
to operate and modify the affections. Soon f
as I could know it, soon as it could be the (
aliment of the moral man, it began to mould f
me. Till then it operated only through my g
mother. It was, madam, with my mind,
just as it wus with my body. The body
was nourished by the provisions that the
God of nature made. But these provisions c
were not suited to the infant organs, and the
infant appetite, till through the kind, timely,
and prompt interference of a mother, they
were presented to mc in a form that the in* c
f ant appetite and the infant organs demand- v
ed, and could receive. * The child of an 1
hour, or a daycannot eat the corn nor the 1
wheat, hut can lie at the breast and draw in ?
tliesoft and nutritioas provisions that kind c
heaven has made ready. So the young c
conscience does not feel from a sense of *
duty, does not obey a mother at first because
of the parental relationship, and the corresponding
tilial obligations; but because the c
idea of the parental relation, and the obliga- s
tion resulting, is drawn out in a mother's s
Jcindnoss, and a mother's caresses. Hence *
-she has a firm hold on the conscience before ?
the child can teli why he obeys. Habit per- f
haps might be said to operate before truth 1
did. And yet understand roe not to say f
that my mother did it independently of truth. 1
It was truth embodied in her example, and' **
drawn out in it that went to form the first
ingredients of my character. My mother ir
said this is right, and that is right, and I confided
in the oracular wisdom of her words. J
That my mother said it, was proof enough 1
of any thing. If she told me there was a
God, ? bad confidence: if she had told me J
otherwise, I should have believed as firmly.
She told me that to .do right was the way to
be happy, and what affected me more, was x
the way to make her happy. It was of im- i
mensc importance to me that she always
told the truth. If she spoke, I expected as J
much to find it lrue.as if God said it. Hence 1
ahe had no occasion to refer me often to the
word of God. It was enough that 1 had
ber word; she then stood in the place of
.1 . A tk? . (
VJrOU IU lilu. .rvuu uuuco {jviuaps iiic very
secret you are after?My mother controlled I ?c
rny young conscience, because her lips kept 1
truth*
* A mother who wishes to maintain the ,
respect of her own children, ought never to
practice ony kind of duplicity or deception y
in their presence. She ought not, for instance,
to pretend to her neighbors, that she a
is more their friend, or more glad to see
them, than she evinces to her children in
their absence, that she really is. Some pa- f
rents by thi^ abominable kind of duplicity, ^
give their children to understand, before they J
are aware of it, that they are not as regardfH
ofas fh<Y might to be.??Ed,
Truth makes the Christian mother what
ihe is,and the mother makesf the conscience j
ind character of her child. Trutli prevents
ier from being a heathen mother, and throw- s
ng her children into the fire to Moloch.
\nd she in turn prevents that child from jetting
fire to her funeral pile. Truth digested
and made into character, constitutes '
the lovely christian mother, and that charlctcr
operates to produce the lovely and '
abedient child. 1
If by magic or miracle we could make a
generation of Christian mothers on heathen i
ground, there would be a generation of godly i
and Christian children. I do not mean by '
this remark, that we arc horn into the king- '
Jo-n of God by blood, or by the will of the
flesh, but of God. Still I do mean that truth <
operates on die young mind by proxy, and 1
afterwards by a different and direct control.$ 1

"fThc mother does not make the con- ,
science; it is one of the elements of our
moral nature.?Gaz.
JThis last remark taken in its connection
may perhaps be construed to inculcate the
heresy, which, to some extent, prevails in
this country, and is perhaps gaining -ground,
that the truth, and not the flcly Spirit, is
the agent in regeneration;?or in other
words, that there is no regeneration, except
the mere moral change caused by the natural
influence of moral truth upon the mind1
and character. The reader is not to understand
us as countenancing any 6uch heresy
by copying the article into our columns.

Jan. 19, 1836. THE
SILK CULTURIST.
THE Executive Committee of the Hartford
County Silk Society, have commenced a
monthly publication, called the Silk (Julturirt
and Farmer't Manual.
The object of the publication is fo disseminate
a thorough knowledge of the cultivation of the
Mulberry Treo, in all its varieties?the rearing of
Silk Worms?the production of Cocoons, and the
reeling; ef Silk, in the most approved method.
The importance of this knowledge will appear
frew the fact that the nett profits of land devoted <
to the culture of Silk, is double, if not triple to
that derived from any crop which can be put up.
on it* It is also a fact, that every farmer can
raise several hundred dollars worth of silk, with,
out interfering with his ordinary agricultural
works upon tffe subject. It will contain?^
I. a brief historical view of the silk business vi
?2,directions forsowingthe Mulberry seed,
nurturing the Mulberry plant, transplanting
it into hedges, or standard orchards, and th? jl
subsequent management thereof?S. the
mode of preserving and hatching the ?flrvvorm
eggs; the manner of rearing and
feeding the worms, the mode of airing the
laboratories, and the prevention and treat- > j
mcnt of their several diseases?i. the manner
of constructing a cheap laboratory or
cocoonery?5. the process of reeling, dying?
and making sowing silk, twist, <&<%, together
with caloefetions of the probable nett produce
of given quantities of land set in Mulberry,
as tested by actual results, both in
this country and Europe. In which calculations
it will be clearly and satisfactorily
demonstrated that an acre of ground properly
cultivated in Mulberry, is capable of Reding
a sufficient number of worms to realize
from the silk raised therefrom, after defray. ^
ing all expenses of cultivation, a sum exceed(ng
$560. In addition to the interesting
matter contained in the manual, which is fblf
upon every snbject connected with the cu/urc,
it will have a copious and well digested
ndex. made so easv that any thim? required
:an be found withoat difficulty. In fine- ft ; .
vill comprise every thing that a firmer who &
lesires to enter into the culture need know.
Orders for the above work will be received,
)ost paid, for any number of copies, by
either the editor or proprietors. As tho
lumber of copies in pamphlet form will be
imited, and numerous orders have already
>een received, persons wishing to secure a
