Cruelty to Children. ~ Men and women differ, What one might consider as ‘cruel, another~ would look pon as @ mere unkindmal-treatment. Yet all must see that by. treatufent which unnecessarily causes bodily "injury or. mental harm; must be eruel in character, If a child’ is whipped until the’ body is all striped and bruised, or sickness is brought on, that is cruel, or if the child. be disheartened and cowed and caused. to treinble, that is cruel, Corporal punishment is something necessary, -at least with some, children, ‘I'hey understand that, when they would not understand censure or. disapproval exhibited in any other way. But it should always be admioister‘ed as light as possible, and. always in privacy, never before other persons, even members of the family. Great care should be taken: also that the passions of the parent be _ under perfect control.

To have'a man become.enraged‘at his child, and allow his temper to control him, go to work and beat his child until its body is all welts and bruises, is a scene over which only devils should exult. As for men who thus render bullies and brutes of themselves, we should like to eee them tied to a post, and a score of boys with stinging lashes, allowed to play Hail Columbia on their bare bagks fora few hours.

Once upon a time, when we were not yet cut loose from the apron. strings of maternal power, there lived in the same town with usa good old deacon by the name of Merriweather ; ‘who, though a pillar of the churcf, hed never succeeded in living down certain wicked habits contracted in his youth, prominent amongst whicb was tbat of profanity. The Deacon’s son, Jedediah, although a playmate of ours, and consequently existing ander a most happy influence, must have inherited from his father the taste for a use of strong language which be possessed. It was said by thosé who knew the Deacon, that when he swore it wasalways done ‘mechanically, and with an evenness which challenged criticism. But. Jedediah possessed all his ancestor’s merits in this line, and more; for when avgbt crossed the young man’s path, one oatk would follow another with a jingling smoothness and purity of tone, as musical in their intonations as so many silver-bells. One day the old gentl-man happened to surprise bis son in the midst of a sentence of nicely-round oaths. We will-never forget thelook of sadness . which came stealing over the sire’s countenance. ‘Taking a jack-knife from his pocket he cut an immense switch from a tree conveniently near. “Jedediah, my’son, come. with me to the barn; I would talk with you,” he reniarked, in —a—hurt.manner, There was no alternative. The boy went; and for am hour the neighbors roundabout heard similar sounds. to those which Robert Iugersoll so feelingly describes in connection with his memorable trip to the barn. The main difference was that while old Mr. Ingersoll prayed and whipped, Deacon Merriweather swore and whipped and swore again. And why, years afterward, the boy grown to manhood went entirely to the bad, the old Deavon could never understand; but he consoled bimself with the thought that he had doxe his duty. Now this story —_* ws of an article we have recently been reading in aself-styled ‘‘moral newspaper,” the Leader, published in Cleveland, . Ohio, wherein that organ essys to ‘pour forch bitter invectives against a late literary production of the Pacific Coast. The volume referred to was published some months ago in'the.city of, Say Francisco, under the title of ‘The Dance of Death.” The purpose of the author is to show in a plain, wnvarvisbedmanner the pernicious effects, both nrentally and physically, of the ‘‘round dance’ of the present day wpon its devotees, Whether or not we agree with him in argument, does not matter at present. But no one will deny, upon reading the book, the existence in some degree of a cause for such strictures as the writer has placed upon this form of the “light fantastic,” taken, however, may be true. That a lascivious meaning has been attiched to many features which did not juvite the comparison, is perhaps sp‘parent. In fine, that the whole book was written with the intention of bringing into. a still greater prominence, and not checking the growth of a ‘‘monstrous evil,’” is possible. But admitting al} these thinga in extenuation, it does not fo)low that this great Eastern newspaper called the Cleveland Leader, profesaing to be a gigantic medium of moral teachings, a leader it the extremely narrow path of -virtue—indeed, everything that goes to make a model family newspaper, should so fur forget its’ mission as to devote a whole colump of finely pinted matter to acriticism of. the ‘Dance of Deiith,’’ which is so far beneath the bvok in regard to moral tone as th-be incomparable. From first to-last the reviewer's remarks are a series. of outrageous insults upon the viitue and common sense of tat class of our people to which the bookseller looks for support—the reading publio, ang should be the means of condemning to oblivion the sbect in which they were permitted to appear. The duty of the press is t> so let its light shine as to purify, not contiminate. But bow many newspapers in their eagerness to condemn lay themselves liable to the accusation of the same failing which old Deacon ‘Merriweather possessed to’ such a degree, — not Iaatioing what they preach, : x. ——— oo Go apd pay your taxes—they are . due now. 1 tii .
