The Banners of the Bother Mould the
C1i ill.
There is no disputing this ftict:it shine
hi the face of every little child. The
eoarae, bawling, scolding woman, will have
•* arse, vicious, bawling, fighting children
She who cries on every occas'on, “I'll box
your ears—I’ll slap your jaws—I'll break
your neck,” is known as thoroughly through
her children as if ncr unwomanly manners
were openly displayed in the public streets!
These remark** were suggested by the
conversation in an omnibus—fbrt great
institution for the student of uiea and
manners—be twee a a friend and a school
master. Our teacher was caustic, mirtb
ihl and sharp. His wit flashed like the
polished edge of a diamond, nrJ kept the
“buss” in a “roar.”
The entire community of insiders—ar.d
whoever is intimate with these conveyances,
can form a pretty good idea of our numbers,
inclusive of the “one more” go well known
■to the fraternity, turning their heads, eyes
and ears oue way, and finally our teacher
•aid: “lean always tell the mother by!
the boy. The urchin who draws back with
double fist and-lunges at h*3 playmate if he
looks at him askance, had a very ques
tionable mother. She may leed him and
clothe him, cram him with sweet meats,
ooax him with promises, but if she gets
mad she fights.”
“Sho will pull him by the jackets; she
Will give him a knock in the back; she
will drag him by the hair; she will call
him all sorts of wicked names, while passion
plays over her red face in lambent flames
that curl and writho out at the corners of
her eyes.
“And we never see the courteous little
fellow with smooth locks and gcutlo man
ners—in whom delicacy docs not detract
from courage or manliness, but we say that1
hoy’s mother is a true lady. Her words
and ways are soft, loving and quiet. If
•he reproves, her language 13 my sou’—not j
'you little wretch—you plague of my life
you torment—you scamp 1’
“She hovers before him as a pillar of
light before the wandering Israelites, and
ncroeamsare reuecoou la 1113 race, j.o,
him the word mother is synonymous with :
everything pure, sweet and beautiful.
Is he an artist? In after life that which,
with holy radiance, Bhiue3 ou his canvas,
■will be the mother-face. Whoever flits
across his path with sunny smiles and soft,
low voice, will bring ‘mother’s image’
freshly to his heart. ‘She is like my
mother,’will be the highest meed of his
praise. Not even when the hair turns
eilver and the eye grows dim will the maj
esty of that life and presence desert him
“But the ruffian mother—alas, that
there are such—will form the ruffian char
acter of the man. lie in turn will become
a merciless tyrant, with a tongue sharper
than a two-edged sword; remembering the
brawling and ccffiiug, seek some meek,
gentle victim for the sacrifice, and make
her his wife, with the condition that he
ehall be master. And the master he is
for a iew sad years, when he wears a wid
ower’s weed till he finds a victim 'number
two ’"
We wonder not that there are so many
awkward, ungainly men in society-—they
have all been trained by women who knew
not nor cared for the holy nature of their
trust. They had been made bitter to the
heart’s core, and that bitterness will Cud
vent and lodgment somewhere. Strike
the infant in anger, and he will, if he can
not reach you, vent his passion by beating
the door, the chair, or any inanimate thing
trithiu reach. Strike him repeatedly, and
by the time be wears shoes he will have
become a bully, with hands that double for
fight as naturally as if especial pains had
been taken to teach him the art of boxing.
Mothers, remember that your manners
mould the child. Who will not say that
mothers ought not to be thoroughly edu
cated, whether our sous are or not?
Exccutiou of David Dodd—A Note
from His Father.
•Jauk.so\, Miss, June 12, 1806.
Colonel J. M. llarrdi—Dear Sir: In an
article from your pen, in reference to my son,
published in the Little llock Pantograph, of
the 2d iust., 1 notice a few, but important er
rors, which I beg to correct. One of these is
Ail icivieuvu vu uio iiu mvo soyc i
teen.
But I wish to call your attention to a few
facta in connection with this unhappy matter,
of which, perhaps, you were not mvare. At
the time of my son’s arrest, or very soon
thereafter, Mr. E. It. Blanks and 3ome others,
the friends, and perhaps the only friends, of
my son, in l ittle Kook, that had the power to
render him any important assistance at his
trial, were thrown into prison, and there kept
until alter the execution of my son. He was
thus denied the benefit of the advice of these
gentlemen, and of the able counsel and relia
ble witnesses which they would have procured
for him, Not only this, but the summary and
harsh treatment of these gentlemen deterred
other friends from making any effort in his
behalf. And after my sou’s conviction, when
a delegation of the noble women, of Little
Rock, presented themselves at General F.
Steele’s headquarters, to plead for the unfor
tunate boy, this man. unworthy the name of
soldier, and a disgrace to humanity, gallantly
refused them admission to his august presence.
The fact is, General Steele was determined to
have him found guilty. With him it was a
foregone conclusion. And as liis convention
was to meet on the 8th of January, a grand
tableaux must be gotten up for the benefit of
bis soldiers and the rabble. Doubtless Gen
eral Steele thought ihe boy’s courage would
fail him at the last moment, and that he would
implicate some prominent citiien of whom an
example could be made. But he was mistaken
in his victim. This beardless boy showed
this blood-thirsty monster, that he could die
manfully for his principles, and that even
with the prospect of saving his own life, he
would not imperil the lives of his friends.. It
may be a satisfaction to Gen. Steele to know
that he murderea my son—not for being a
spy, but because he would not reveal the
names of those who had entrusted him with an
important secret. I leave it to au impartial
publio to say who was most disgraced, the boy
who died for his principles or the General who
murdered him. I had not the pleasure of a
personal meeting with General Steele after
this sad event during the wav, but I now pro
claim him a coward and murderer, and hold
mysalf pctionally responsible for what I say.
Respectfully.
