" L* PARilM'S DEPABTJIEXT. From (M Mother's Magazine. An exampi.e for mothers in elevated life. The following incident, I doubt not, will L . bo perused with interest by the patrons of the Mother's Magazine; and to a class of mothers, whose misguided tenderness would prevent tlie exercise of even salutary discipline, it may Convey an important lesson. The incident occurred more than twenty ? years since; yet tlie circumstances arc "fresh in my recollection. A few facts will serve to show why the recollection of them should be thus vivid. A short tknc previous to my leaving college, I had received an invitation to become private tutor to the children of a gentleman ' , of rank and fortune, in the Stale of . This proj>os;J, by the advice of friends, was accepted ; and, iu a few weeks after bidding adieu to my Alma Muter, I left my paternal roofto enter upon a new an * untried station. It was emphatically new to me. Although conscious of possessing adequate literary Ivnowledge Cor the sphere I was to occupy, iny heart had many misgivings, during a journey of more than one hundred miles, Jest I should i.ul to give suusiucuon 10 me gent I? nan and lady, whose children were to , come under my care. I had no personal acquaintance with them, but their well known wealth and rank were somehow associated la my mind w ith overweening indulgence towards their children. Brought up, as I had *v\;n, in tl?e country, and little conversant with the forms and fashions of the world, 1 ...d connected wealth with indulgence, and s prepared, therefore, to see my ill-boding ihcipatious realized. It was my dclcrml a ..'ion, however, to put in practice what oir ' ;uisj>ection I was master o? and if I failed I * onld at least bear from the splendid man - .> j that best and greatest solace of ouch : ?a good conscience. The heart of a youth of diffidence wil nnietimes knock louder than the knockc . h which he wraptsat a strange door. I as rims with myself, as I sought admit ce at the stalely mansion, whither I wai .and. A servant opened the door; and my inquiring alter the gentleman of tin rse, I was informed, that he he had beet nt some months, and the period of hi; ? was still uncertain. My letter of in : -T j jiion conveyed to M.S.?, soon brough r mi invitation to come in. The mannci in she noticed me was kind; but tin .strangeness of my situation, the damp ens my "feelings by the absence of the gen , tlwinnn?the conviction that I now had tc d d only with the mother, and that mother p'rii ips one of excessive tenderness, with i iidred other circumstances flirting acros; .. mind, all contributed to distress and cm ..-r/uss mo. During a brief conversation i: v. as sealed, that I should enter upon m\ >:ut.es on ihefbllowing day, .at which time I was to be introduced to my new charge. At nine; the. next morning, I ontered, foi ! ie tirst time, the room appropriated to oui eterary labors. It was a spacious chamber, ouween which and the library opposite, was wide and extended hall. For several days "nothing worthy of special notice occurred. Contrary to my anticipations, the children ;tnrv>arr>i! jrliifhWv. mul lifwniinffk- nflonfii o naiurc betrayed its weakness, and a natural fear of giving offence increased my distresss. It was quite impossible, from her proximity, that she should not know precisely what had occurred, and site must now know ever}' step, in the progress and management of this difficulty. My ignorance of her views of discipline, my previous opinion, (formed upon no proper basis indeed, but somehow i an opinion, wlueh was realhy with me,) that notions of discipline among the wealthy and distinguished ranks of society were of course lax, presented a powerful temptation to pass lightly over the offence, and consider that I which in reality was of serious, ofsruall moI ment? But I had not been so taught under a pa. rental roof; and, besides, my conscience was concerned in faithfully discharging what I deemed my duty?-judgment and reflection, I at length, came to my aid, and ray rcsoluB tiQD was formed, tliat I would proceed with mildness, but still with firmness^ and though % imagination still presented dismission, and,: .as I then thought, disgrace, as the almost ] certain rgsult of perseverance, it de ri?; - ?' 'ov .o their studies. As I saw little of the :iU>t!?cr, my boarding place being some dis1 ;iitee from the house, 1 had no other means of judging oftlie-character of her disci])line, tiuui in the genere! well demeanor and res^xuful manner of my pupils. In these rcspoets, Iliad no fault to find; and, at length, Was ^oming to the conclusion, that wealth .and rank were not necessarily opposed to wholesome discipline. About this time-the incident occurred, to which I have alluded; afld which, for a short ^tirne, broke up the pleasing anticipations I had formed, during the few days of my new employment. > . One afternoon, having occasion to direct the Cwest boy to do something, which need not here bo named, he promptly refused; aiad, when mildly informed that a complittfcco of so reasonable a request, \vas ol course erpected, he exhibited an unantici. patcd and surprising determination to resist. 1 soon found the spirit of dissatisfaction as strong inthe other pupils as in him; and at length, I was tokl in jdaiu terms by one, that I whs not employod to govern, but to teach. O TIT ^ _ ?* 4.1 * - a! __ 1 o.-usiuiu oi we importance, 111 mis eany stage of ray t^itorsliip, of so managing a case of difficulty, as on the one hand to secure the good feelings of my pupils, and, on the other, to gain their respect and obedience; I rose li om my seat and pacing the room, took time to deliberate as to the course I should pursue. Judge my surprise, and even dis. tress, as in ohe of the turns I made near the doer, leading into the hull, (which happened to be open,) to notice the mother of the children seated on a sola, with needlework in her hand. She was employed at the moment that nay eye fell upon her, and immediately I turnwf to the opposite side of the room. For alow moments my heart palpitated distressingly; true, I ueed not have been thus embarrassed, my cause was a good one, my reouisition a nroDtr one: but a then diffident termination to do my duty, and abide the! t consequences. I might, indeed, have at once referred the i ( case to the mother, who was at hand, and j \ the reference would have disclosed her views < regarding the moral discipline of her chil- ' drcn?a point which I was extremely nnx- 1 ious to know; ami yet there was too much ' 1 depending, to hazard such a reference?for j what if she should decide against me ? It i J was apparent, upon a moment's cousidcra- < tiou, that it were far better to proceed with ' caution, and upon the presumption, that she f would sanction mild hut efficient mea- 1 surcs, in subduing a refractory and obsti- < natc child. Accordingly, resuming my scat. I inquired I of the offending boy, wliether he would | ! comnlv with m}* request. A sullen silence I i was the only response. Ujon this, I hade j liiin come to tne; this he refused. I then I advanced to him, and taking him by the j j arm, led him, with some force to my chair,; : and proceeded to remonstrate with him upon j j his conduct, and to inquire of him, whether ! ! he thought his imother, were she present, would justify his conduct ? and then assured him, that I should adopt and continue to pursue such a course of correction, as seemed wise, until he should submit, and would even . mploy. if necessary, the whole afternoon, to accomplish so important an object. I cxl pected this decision, communicated in a firm . and somewhat stern measure, would have 1 had the desired cfFcct; but not tho least int dication of relenting could be discovered. [ On the contrary, he manifested no uneasii ncss, and made no effort to escape me. I r now began with several expedients,, by way * ^ -vr* if/nvk in . Ui [>UUlOUUIg I1I1II| > 1UIWUJ 111* .1 creased, and continued, for more that! an , ! hour, without, however, the Hist apparent . effect; and, at length, in a state of feeling 5 nearly bordering upon agony, I was about to relinquish farther effort as useless. ] More than once, rt was my wonder, that r the mother was so silent; but I was not sure t that she had not retired. Leaving my. chair,, ! therefore, I again walked the room, and s I again ascertained, that she was still occupyi,' ing her seat. As I passed the door, she [?J took no notice of mc?was still using her j | needle, apparently calm and composed as s! before; but I had time to notice one infalli. ble indication, that all was not entirely at rest t within, a deep Hush mautlcd her cheek. Still r therefore, I could gather nothing by which 2 to forth an opinion as to her views of the t case. My imagination, indeed, suggested . that she was keeping vigil, that her boy > i should come to no serious harm, and was , j willing so long as lie was exempted from i: that, that ti?e experiment should be carried ?j through?the lust gratification I should have . under her roof. Still, reason4 and judgment , | gave iu'thcir verdict as to the justice and j propriety of the course I was pursuing, and : again I returned to punitive measures, con, vinccd that I could not stay another dav, unless the obstinate little fellow could be made to yield. I continued, therefore, yet , longer to devise and apply one corrective i after another, until, at length, satisfied, as the ; hours of study were drawing to a close, that , the only alternative presented was either to i! appeal to the mother, or to apply the ferule ! to his hand. The former I determined not ;: to do, and much as I regretted this dernier j resort, I now proceeded to inform him, that ; unless than five minutes he obeyed, I should , apply the ferule to his hand until he did. This was a longtime for him to deliberate, ; and as anxious ar fire minutes to m3*selfns I ; ever saw. At length, the pointer approach ; ed to the deciding point; again, 1 admon! ished him; and, now, every second that pasI sed, I expected the interference of the mother ' but not a wbispsr from this quarter either ; relieved, or increased my anxiety. At ' length, the probationary season was passed; upon which, taking the" ferule, I advanced towards him, and told him with some sternness, that he must submit, or I sho.uld fe- j rule him until he did. Up to this moment j scarcely a muscle of his lace had moved, t Taking his hand, which he yielded without much reluctance, I brought down the ferule u[>on it; a single blow only, and my object was accomplish!. lie uttered a loud cx; clamation; followed by a promise, that he i would immediately com pi}' with my requisi| tion, and lie did comply, with a promptness i which indicated the completeness of his j submission. Having resumed his scat,T took occasion, in a few words, to convince him still more effectually of the impropriety of his conduct, and to this addedc for the benefit of the whole group, a few words impressing upon them i the necessity of implicit obedience; this was . right; and upon no othCr terms would our ; | connection as tutor and pupils be cither proli- j ; tabic or happy. , .

On my passing , through the sittingroom below, on my way ! to my lodgings, she was sitting on the sofa, j with some friends who had called to sec her. j She returned my usual bow, as I then thought with some formality; but, as I was not cer- ' tain, thai the difference was not to be as. cribed to the presence of company, and after all not certain, that there was any essential j difference, I dismissed the circumstance, as far as practicable. My feelings, however were not comfortable; for although one has a right to the enjoyment of some satisfaction, J in view of a duty performed yet who is ig. norant, that it adds to that enjoyment to know that the persons connected with us arc themselves satisfied ? 1 The day following, I was at my post, as usual, but saw not the mother, until, on retiring for the afternoon, I observed her in the sitting room, and alone. Just as I was passing out, she addressed mef and asked me to be seated; immediately upon which she ob0prvc<l :? i' "You had some difficulty yesterday, with the children ? My heart fluttered, but I repiied, "I had, indeed, madam; but I hope ? , if I could? " She s*w*my emharrassment, and anticipating \ivhat I would have said, observed : "If you continue to manage as discreetly . as you did yi^terday.; ou :nuy rest assured ' j. >f my confidence and approbation." The bow of promise," amid the darkness a ?f midnight, could scarcely have been more \i inexnected; and, surely, never was voice >f kindness more welcome. I expressed ny pleasure and gratitude, and intimated vhat a relief it would have been during the , rial, had 1 known her views. j It was well, she said, that I did not know,) ? ind even better,ns I had an opportunity of levcloping, more to her satisfaction, mv s >kili at managing a difficult case, than I ? diould otherwise have had. She said, that J1 or some time, she was fearful, lest my courlge would fail, and in that case she had de. lerroined to come to my support; but it gave a her great pleasure to know that her inter. ? ference was not necessary. These assurances were followed by an account of the I " " <* i.:i t JilTercnt tempers and dispositions 01 nor chu[Iren, so minute and satisfactory, to show that the fondness of the mother had not do?ed her eyes to the imperfections of Jier chil- ^ Jrcn. She concluded, by wishing me to . persevere in the mild, but decisive discipline J which I had adopMI, and this, added to her ; | own counsels, and with the blessing of God, would make her children what she could J wish. Tims strengthened and encouraged ' I went on my way rejoicing, and ere a month had elapsed my pupils were as obedient, and wcu-behaved, as I could wish. They were often my attendants*during a delightful walk, playfully contendingVith each other for'a skirt of my coat; and, in more instances than one, the tailor's needle and thread were necessary to save my Tappets from being wholly detached.

If \ you think it worthy a place in your journal, , you will perhaps conler a service on some , of your readers, by giving it publicity. ] A few weeks ago, I was travelling into | the country. Before I had progressed j many miles, my horse showcu evidently , that he was labouring under cholie. lie J- j became quite loose in the bowds, swelled, and was in great agony. Fortunately I { met with a wagoner, whose kindness relieved my beast from his illness, and myself from, perhaps, a long walk. His remedy consisted in tying upon the .horse's bit, a ^ piece of tobacco. This . being done, he j told me I could proceed upon my journey ; assured me, that the horse would get well ( before I got one mile, and that he *ould j not be tjoubled again, while the tooacco remained on the bit. I did as he directed and to my perfect astonishment, iny horse became relieved as sopn as he swallowed the saliva created from the tobacco. I am^vour's, Mr. Editor, 1. B.

A Lover of Good Bacon, in number ten f the Gencssee Farmer, wishes to know the iest method of smoking. He has well uspected that his brick smoke-house is- too lose, and his experiments in making holes 11 the door were an aim at the right thing, ?ut the ventilation was by no means stificont. A brick smoke-house is not well idapted to the purpose; many persons have jone to an extra expense to erect such a juildincr, which finally does not answer the )urposc. Mine is formed with a cellar 2 bet deep, walled with rough stones, and he earth raised against the outside to the op of the wall. On this stands a building i feet square, boarded in the manner of a )ani?boards set upright, but not closely ointed or battened. This affords about the proper ventilation?the meat dries, and smokes in fine order. The best article for producing smoke is sound maple wood well seasoned; with this a slow and constant lire may be maintained, besides giving the meat a better flavor than most other wood. ?Sij,a* Cornell.

They had better he collected and burnt, than suffered to spread their seeds over the farm.?Cultivator, A Good Wife.?At a celebration of the anniversary of a British Farming Society, some years ago, a clergyman, who was a member, read a very pleasant essay to prove that the best animal, that could be brought upon the farm, was?a good wife. From the Tcmp3ranco Star. I know a man not forty miles front Richmond, that was named as an example for the young men of his neighbourhood to follow. At length his parents died, and he became a moderate drinker. I was with him frequently, and thought him a steady young man. Wheu he was about (Kmo vp.in of' nrro. he married a l?L'lll^-UH j ? - p-, _ young lady '>f respectable family, and considerable! propety; he, from the moderate use of ardent spirit, became a drunked of the lower class, spent a large estate, and rendered his wife and children poor and miserable. I do not think his credit Would be good for a pint of rum, and all because he was a moderate drinker. Let me exhort ill persons who are moderate drinkers, whether christians or not, to total abstinence, for no man ever intended at first to ne a drunkard. If you think the above worth a place in the Star, you can insert it over. II. What is Temperance?--*4!^ moderate use of all things," answer most peop'e. This mistake, however, has ruined thousands. Temperance is the proper use of all things. . A man who is in the habit of getting Jrunk, had killed his hog and cleaned it, [)ut when he was doqe he was so drunk that he could not cary it in his house and cut it up. When he got a little over his clrunkness, he found a dog had eat all the leaf fat from the hog.

He died in great poverty. Ibid. II. "Why a drunkard has neither money, nor clothes nor even a sArm," said an old foddler, as he was describing the case of such as himself.

Willis, in his graphic " Pencillings by the Wnv," vol. 1, p. loG, presents us with the following incident in the Lunatic Aslyum nf Palermo which adds another to the million of evidences that matrimony A'hile it is the oxistencc of man, is not -khnnvious to the better nortion ofour race. * ~~ I "While the good old Baron, who was at 5nce the generous founder and the gratuitous superiutendant of the Palermo \slyum," while he was endeavouring to iraw her into conversation, *says our traveller,' the Physician told me some curious ;ircumstances respecting her.

Her mind had been destroyed by illness, and ifter seven years' madness, during which time she had refused to raise from her bed ind had quite lost "the use of her limbs, she was brought to this establisment by her friends.

This being the very question that the commissary was not prepared to answer, he hesitated for a short time, and then stammered out some well worn excuse.? Picton was not however, to be cajoled by excuses, while his men were kept with empty stomachs; he led the alarmed commissary to the door, and pointing, said, "Do you see that tree ?" "Yes, sir," was the reply. "Well, now," continued Picton, "if you don't get the ration? for my division at the place mentioned by 12 ; I o'clock, to morrow, I will bang you up ! ' *l ?

"Well if General Picton said so, I dare say ho will keep his word, You'd better get the rations up in time." Further advice was unnecesary,?the rations were thereto the moment.
