 Description: Another day has gone, and has the day benefited me. or I it? I have learn= =ed something I trust. if I am not benefited The little Lissie of whom I have written before I believe gave me a little trouble to day, I "passed a rule" at the commencement of my school. that those who did not pay good attention in their spelling class must go below the one who spelled their word, and to day Lissie missed her turn. The one who spelled her word. she refused to let go above her, I firmly but kindly told her to stand down, she refused and I commanded her telling her I should punish her if she disobeyed, Now I never threaten withoug executing, and I am sorry to say. I was obliged to punish her Perhaps you would have laughed could you have seen your Addie dealing the blows so un= mercifully. but I thought that if in instance I "spared the rod" I would surely "spoil the child" Although the "rod" was nothing but my hand delivering two blows on her head it had the desired effect, As it is the first time one of my scholars have so openly rebelled it troubled me some. Am I not a good [girls?] to tell you of all my troubles? But I am neglect ing my duty I fear.
