J : .. This letter should.be .printed in large letters, and hung in the house of every Christian Family, . and read daily, until the important principles it contains are burned deeply into every parent's heart. The letter is dated Espworth, July, 24, 1732, and was written at the earnest so licitations of the Reverend John Wesly: "Dear Son According to your, re quest, I have collected the principal rules which 1 have observed in educating my family. The children - were always put into a regular method of living; in such things as they were capable of, from their birth. When turned a year eld, they were taught to fear the rod and cry soft ly, by which ' mean? they escaped much correction, which they might otherwise had; and that most odious noise, -of the crying of children, was rarely ever heard in the house. As soon as they -rew pretty strong, they, were confined to three meals a day. As soon as they could handle a knife and fork, they were set to our table. They were never suf fered to choose their meat. Eating' and drinking between meals was never allow ed, except in case of sickness, vhich was very seldom. They were so constantly tised to eat and drink what was given to them, that when any one was ill, there was no difficulty in making them take the most unpleasant medicine, for they dare not refuse it. . ' . . In order to-form the minds of children the first thing to, be done is to conquer their will. : To inform the understanding is a work of time, and must, with chil dren, proceed by slow degrees; but the subjecting the w ill is a thing that must be done at once, and the sooner the better ; for by neglecting timely correction, they will, contract a stubborness and obstinacy which are hardly ever after conquered. In the esteem of the world, they pass for kind and indulgent, whom I call ctuel, pa rents, whp permit their children to get habits which they know must be after wards broken. ; When the will of the child is subdued ,and it is brought to revere and in awe of its parents, then a great many childish follies and inadvertencies may be passed by." But no wilful trans gression ought ever to forgiven children, without chastisement," less or more. T insist upon conquering the will cf chil dren betimes, because this is the only strong and rational foundation of:a re ligious education, without which bothpre precept and example will be ineffectual. But when this is done, then the child is capable of being governed by the reason and piety of its parents, till its own un derstanding comes to maturity, and the principles of religion have taken root in the mind, I cannot dismiss the subject. As self-will is the root of all sin and mis ery, so whatever cherishes this in chil dren, insures their wretchedness and ir-relig-ion. Whatever checks and morti fies it promotes their future happiness and piety. This' is still more evident if we further consider that religion is nothing else than doing thc will cf God and not our own; that the one grand im pediment to our temporal and eternal happiness being this self-will, no indul gence of it can be trivial, no denial un profitable. Heaven or hell depends on this alone, so that the parent who studies to subdue it in his child, works together with God in the renewing and saving a soul; the parent who indulges it does the devil's work, and makes religion im practicable, salvation unattainable; and does all that in him lies to damn his child, soul and body forever! Our chil dren were taught the Lord's Prayer as soon as they could speak. They were early taught to distinguish the Sabbath frcm other days, and to be still at family prayers. They were quickly made to understand "they should have nothing they, cried for." A chap walking along the street, see ing a lawyer's office, walked in and in quiied, "What do you keep to sell?' "Blockheads," replied the lawyer. "Pret ty good business, I guess; I see you've got only one left." If the alphabet were alive, why wor.ld you find it difficult to kill it? Because you couldn't put B out of "Being."

Well, then, said I, the hc-g was worth at Ieaet two dcllars and the subscription ti the paper only one dollar; and if one ar ticle saved you two dollars' it would'cer tainly pay, The argument was m vain.
