THE HOUSEHOLD, Five and Fourteen Thu following artiele, containíag a wise nd helpfil 3uggfstion to mntliers, appears in the " Home. and Society" tiepartinent of Tbe Cknïcry Magazine for November (late SciubNER's) : Tnere are two periods in the moral and intellectual development of a girl which cause the profoundest anxiety to a niother. At flve years o!d, or thereabouts, the period cf babyhood is past, whilethe period of girlhood is not yet reached, and, between ihe two, comes a timo of anarchy and chaos. The little soui is now barsting its shackles and tiying to re-adjust itself to new conditions. The childisceasir.g to be a mere pet and plaything, and is beginning to live an individual lile. Nothing is more common thau to seu a docile, well-tniiucdchild suddenly Cevelop, witliout any apparent reason, a willfulntts and insubordination entirely at vtuiance vitti its previous habits. The mother, who bas been dreaming of a sweet daugbttr wbo bl to walk be9ide her all her days, making life fragrant and beautiful to her by sharing with her all her youthful hopea, andjo579, and tïusts, turus heart-siek at the naughtines3 of the half-fledged tcrmagant. For it ia the good, cherubic little girl who usually manifeste the chancee ; h spoiled cVild ij so thoroughly disagreeabieall the whilethat any accesion cf badness is nol noticeable. A great deal of aelf-condemnation and unhappy foieboding would be spared the mother i( shö would only recognize that maoh ot what ia so very unlovely is not essntiaHy wrong - that it is merely wliat is ood in a state of unripeness. Ttio fragrant blossom has wlthei ed and lallen away, leaving in itíj placo tho hard and acid embryo fruit. A wiso mother will be very careful to distingutsh betweeu those qualities vvhich proinise evil in their developed f orín and those which are mere crudities, &nd her aim will be to foster all the unfolded possibilities in her child's nature, and help to bring them to a beautif ui inaturity. Every one knows how tiresooie anc! uuattractive a little girl usually is when she has outgrown lier ïnfantile 8weetne3s. The little impertinences.the saucy retorts and unflattering personalities, which have won for her smiles and careases, cr, at worst, an admiring repreof, all at onco become intolerable, and are rebuked with acerbity. The very ways which she has been taught to consider charming become subjects for displea3ure whuu tho baby rouQdnes8 and dimples are goue. Her sen3e of justice is outragtd and the unwarpedsense of justice in a child is of ten very strong. She becomes a little Ishmael, her haud against every man's aud every man's hand against her. In a certain seuse this can scarcely beavoided, but, if the mother's love be unfailing, aud her sympathy alvvays ready, she can keep sweet the fountain of love and trost whicii, without that refuge, raight become very bitter. Just when tliisnew lifeisunfolding, a raother's wise caixÍ3 most earnestly needed. The soul which has seerncd to draw lts life frorn hers ie beginning to leaU an individual existence. It is to the perfect development of this individuality that the mother should bend all her streugth. Each human soul contaius within itself the germ of its own lii'e. To make of it all that may be made, the mother should only guide the growtn, leaving il free within the limits oí moral probity to grow into its f ullest possibility. She cannot lop it off here and there, or suppress it yonder, without stultifying the wliote nature. The dangerous quicksMiids ot this period safely past, the mother begins to breathe freeiy again. She again begins to see visions, and to dream dream?, till the second and more serious season of anarchy comes to try her faith. Childhood is over and woinanhood is yet far awrny. The whole being, moral, intellectual, aud physical, is in a state of fermeut. Kew motives, now principies, íiew emotions, are battling tor predominauce, asd, uqtil these relativo claims are adj usted, no peace can be hoped for. Thls second chaotic period - which comes at about fonrteen years of age - lasts longer, and brings a more hopeless and radical overturning of that which liad seetued so ñrmly established. If a mother's are were net'jvd in the earlier change, it is infinileiy more needed uow. New traits setui t o be starting into Ufa, new vel opai ent s are manil'ested. ChanSs not only in purposes and ideas are taking place, but changesin teiupcrament, in disposition, íq toue are mani.' ".UiífC themselves. Tliere i.j need of a wioC liand which shali guide without galiu.g, a tender heart which shall sustain wthout comproiaising with evil. To aid in the conflict and insure victory,nothiDg will help a inother more surely, nor direct her inore casily in this diífleult task, than the reeognition that this also is merrfy a stage of growth necessaiy to a l'ull and perfect developin.snt of hei child's nature, and that to her is intrasted the privilege of fo3teriní? the giosvth, while she shall be looking to í lie end with tbe propLetic eye of tove.
