Ky contention ii that many, 1 might tay
most parenti , do not let a proper estimate
upon their children. It is wall enough, lt is
proper, to teach them to wort, to love it, but
it it vrong, an evil, to set a regard upon
them close akin to that they set opon their
horse or mole "Hov much vork can I get
eat of them ?"
It ii related of a certain Roman matron
that, vben othsrs were disr-1- * , their jew?
ell and gaudy trinkets, e. ?cudly called
ber two boys to ber and, ^resenting them,
laid "Here are my jewels." No wonder tbey
became the jewell of that time at Rome, that
with undimmed lustre have shined down the
ages. "What France wants jic .mothers."
What children want, what they need, ia pa?
rents, not masters
Another mi3take is a falsa idea of life
When a man ?ives for vbat be can get life
becomes a paltry thing, vexations, bot when
ht livet for what he caa do lt is noble and
honorable.
Another ii to imagine our children were
created for nt when we we a made for them.
Before this letter is closed let it be laid by
way of reminder that ve are forced to deny
onrselves io other things for our children : a
little self-denial here vould give most saris

In another letter ve viii endeavor to show
