MANAGEMENT DIJKING THE TEENS.
BY M Its. CHII.D.
The period from twelve to sixteen years of age |
is extremely critical in formation of character,
particularly with regard to daughters. The im
agination is then all alive, and the affections are
in foil vigor, while the judgment is •jnstrength
ened by observation, and enthusiasm has never
learned moderation of experience. During this
important period, a mother cannot he tiw> watch- j
fill. As much as possible, she should keep a J
daughter under her own eye; and, above all ;
things, she should encourage entire •'onfi.denr.e
towards herself. This can he done by a ready
sympathy with youthful feelings, and by avoid
ing all unnecessary restraint and harshness. [ be
lieve it is extremely natural to choose a mother in
preference to all other friends and confidants; hut
if a daughter, by harshness, indilference. or un
willingness to make allowance lor youthful feel
ing, is driven from the holy resting place, which
nature has provided for her security, the greatest
danger is to bo apprehended. Nevertheless, I
would not have mothers too indulgent, for fear of
weaning the affection of children. This is not
the way to gain the perfect love of young people ;
a judicious parent is always beloved, and more
respected, than a foolishly indulgent one. Tho
real secret is, for a mother never to sanction the
slightest error, or imprudence, hut at tho same
time to keep her heart warm and fresh, ready to
sympathize with all the innocent gaiety and en
thusiasm of youth. Salutary restraint, but no
unnecessary restraint, is desirable.
I will now proceed to state what appears to mo
peculiarly important at the age I have mentioned ;
and I irust the hints I may suggest will prove ac
ceptable to judicious parents. Heedlessness is so
commonly the fault of the teens, that I shall first
mention the great importance of habits of order
and neatness. The drawers, trunks and work
box of a young lady should be occasionally inspect
ed, for the wastefulness, or sluttishness. Particu
lar care should be taken of the teeth ; they should
bo washed with a clean brush and water at least
twice a day ; to cleanse them just before retiring
to rest promotes sweetness of breath, and tends to
preserve them from decay. Buttons off, muslins
wrinkled, the petticoat below the edge of the
gown, shoe-strings broken, and hair loose nod
straggling, should never pass unnoticed. Serious
advice from a father on these subjects dops more
good than anything else. Smooth, well arranged
hair, and feet perfectly neat, give a genteel, taste
ful appearance to the whole person.
A dress distinguished for simplicity ami fresh
nesss is abundantky more lady-like than the ill
placed furbelows of fashion. It is vpry common
to see vulgar, empty-minded people perpetually
changing their dresses, without ever acquiring the
air of a gentlewoman. If there is simplicity in the
choice of colors,—if clothes fit well, and are pro
perly pinned, tied, and arranged,—if they always
have a neat, ftesh look,—and above all, if the
head and the feet are always in order, nothing :
more is required for a perfectly lady-like appear- '
a nee.
Nothing tends to produce a love of order so |
much as the very early habits of observation, and
attention to trifles, which I have so particularly
urged in various parts of this book. I would
teach a daughter, to observe such trifling things
as the best manner of opening a new piece of tape :
and I would take every precaution to conquer the
spirit that leads young people to say “ I don’t
care,” “ No matter how it is done,”—fkc.
RAPIDITY OF INTELLIGENCE BY THE
PRINCETON.
We have been six days in the possession of the
accounts received by the Princeton from the capi
tal of Texas, down to the 21st June; and yet we
have New Orleans papers of the 1st July, which
bring down the news from Washington only to
the 15th June. In this line of communication, it
may take six days longer, before we shall have j
the news from Washington, in Texas, by the
mail, which we have received six days ago by
the Princeton. We should not he much surpris
ed, indeed, if the people of New Orleans were to
receive their first intelligence of the proceedings
of Congress of the 21st June, by the circuitous
route of the District of Columbia. Thus, the
news may have come by sea, around Cape Flori
da, to YVashington city, and thence by land to
New Orleans, before it should reach them direct
from the Texian spat of government.— Union.
