TRUST THE CHILDREN.
Trust the children ! never doubt them ! Rn iid a wall of love about them. After sowing seeds of duty, Trust them for the ilowers of beauty. Trust the children. Don't suspect tAru. Let your confidence direct them At the hearth, or in the wildwood, Meet them on the plain of childhood. Trust the little ones ! Remember May is not like chill December : Let not words of rage or madness Check their happy notes of gladness. Trust the little ones ; yet guide them, And above aU, ne'er deride them ; Should they trip 0 r should they blunder, Lest you snap love's cord asunder. Trust the children \ Let them treasure Mother's faith in boundless measure ; Father's love in them confiding, Then no secrets they'll be hiding. Trust the children ! just as lie did, Who for "such" once justly pleaded, Trust and guide, but never doubt them, Build a wall of love about them. — ' Phrenological Journal.'
