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).

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.

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.
