Good Work for Children

GOOD WORK FOR CHILDREN.—Let your daughter, with a little advice, cut up a few yards of calico, and make aprons, dresses, and bedquilts, even if there be a little waste and poor fits. She will be likely to see her mistakes and profit by them. Let her make some cake and bread, and broil some meat and some corn, no matter if she does have to throw some of it into the swill-pail. It is better to make a few mistakes while young, in acquiring an education, than to grow up without experience. They must learn something, or make great blunders during a portion of their lives, when left to rely on themselves. In many respects children are not trusted enough. They are "bossed" too much.—Woman's Journal.
