the seat of authority and wields the sceptre of government from a position of entire dependence she has risen to pow er and rank and though her throne may be in a cottage and her dominion the lit tle world of household affairs yet i.s she not the less really responsible than is that youthful queen who now sways a sceptre over the four quarters ofthe earth but for what is she responsible ? she is responsible for the nursing and rearing of her progeny for their physi cal constitution and growth ; their exer cise and proper sustenance in early life a child left to grow up deformed bloated or meagre is an object of maternal negli gence she is responsible for a child's habits ; including cleanliness order conversation eating sleeping manners and general propriety ol behavior a child deficient or untaught in these particulars will prove a living monument of parental disregard because generally speaking a mother can if she will greatly control children in these matters she is responsible for their deportment she can make ihem fearful and cringing she can make them modest or impertinent ingenious or deceitful ; mean or manly ; clownish or polite the germ of all these things is in childhood and a mother can repress or bring them forth she is responsible for the principles which her children entertain in early life for her it is to say whether those who go forth from her fireside shall be imbued with sentiments of virtue truth honor honesty temperance industry.benevolence and morality or those of a contrary cha racter — vice fraud drunkenness idleness covetousness these last will be found to be ofthe most natural growth ; but on her is devolved the daily hourly task of weeding her little garden — of eradicating these odious productions and planting the human

may be violent irritable or revengeful but for the regulation or correction of these passions a mother is responsible she is responsible for the intellectual acquirement of her children that is she is bound to do what she can for this object schools academies and colleges open their portals throughout our land ; and ev ery mother is under heavy responsibilities to see that her sons and daughters have all benefits which these afford and which circumstances will permit them to enjoy she is responsible for their religious ed ucation the beginning ofall wisdom is the fear of god ; and this every mother musl teach reverence for god acquaint ance with his word respect for the duties and ordinance of religion are within the ability of every parent to implant and if children grow up ignorant or
