To be sure, there are In Georgia, as many notions about parental govern1 ment, as there are in any other CoUntry, and the practice as VttrfoUs as the opinions. Some parents exercise no government at all 5 othfert confine themselves exclusively to the government of the tongue; and others the rod a hints ; but by far tho larger claaa, blend them several modes of government, and prefer the one or the other according to times and cir. ctiir.stances. To this class belonged Mr. and Mra. Butler, the beads of the family which I am about to describe. Gilbert was the christian name of her husband, and Eliza, the wife. I was intimately acquainted with them both, before their uni. on ; and was ever afterwards, admitted to their household, with the freedom of one of its members—indeed 1 was a connexion of one of then).

John and Anne had reaohed the age when they were permitted to take aeats at the first table; though upon this occasion John being engaged about the pork did not avail himself of his privilege; the rest of the children were taught to wait for the second table.

Her mother removed her a little more emphatically this time.

He moved him out of sight of the luminary, but that only made matters worse.— He now commenced hia first lessons in the ' principles of good government.'

Eliza and I exchanged smiles, but neither of us said anything. The child construed this into wanton teozing and became, IfpoasiMe, mora obstreperous than ever. Cl'bert now resorted to anothei expedient. He put his own fingers into the blaze, withdrew them suddenly, blew them, shook them, and gave every sign of acute agony. This not only quieted out delighted the child, who signified to him to do h again. He instantly perceived (what was practtoally demonstrated the minute afterwards,) that the child was putting a most dangerous interpetation upon his laet illustration. He determined, therefore, not to repeat it. The child, not satisfied with tin sport, determined to repeat it himself; which the father opposing, he began to reach and cry as before. There was but one experiment left; and that-was, to let the child feel the flame a little. This he resolved to try, but how to conduct it properly was not so easily settled. It would not do to allow the infant to put his hand into th® blaze ( because it would bum too little, or toft much.

To be sure, there are In Georgia, as many notions about parental govern1 ment, as there are in any other CoUntry, and the practice as VttrfoUs as the opinions. Some parents exercise no government at all 5 othfert confine themselves exclusively to the government of the tongue; and others the rod a hints ; but by far tho larger claaa, blend them several modes of government, and prefer the one or the other according to times and cir. ctiir.stances. To this class belonged Mr. and Mra. Butler, the beads of the family which I am about to describe. Gilbert was the christian name of her husband, and Eliza, the wife. I was intimately acquainted with them both, before their uni. on ; and was ever afterwards, admitted to their household, with the freedom of one of its members—indeed 1 was a connexion of one of then).

John and Anne had reaohed the age when they were permitted to take aeats at the first table; though upon this occasion John being engaged about the pork did not avail himself of his privilege; the rest of the children were taught to wait for the second table. Breakfast waa announced, and after the adults and Anna had despatched their meal, the children were summoned. As they were biddeo, and there were some preparatory arrangements to be made, they ail gathered around the fire, clamorous with the events of the morning.

Her mother removed her a little more emphatically this time.

There was but one experiment left; and that-was, to let the child feel the flame a little. This he resolved to try, but how to conduct it properly was not so easily settled. It would not do to allow the infant to put his hand into th® blaze ( because it would bum too little, or toft much.
