clsimer: "Sacrifice! There's too much tuilk of the hardship of sacrificing oneself to one's children;: the truest joy in life rests in doing; one's-l-etst for them. Of course, when they are young, they fill nearly aIF one's thoughts and tinte; but it i% the people who don:t give themselves heart and .soul to their children who have, the mast work to do for them in the long run. I'd sootier rear half :i down happy, healthy children than tattle along with one discontented child who is Mover really well. The children are no trouble so long as they aro well." ; Small families, capriciously neglected .in<l over-indulged by turns,, will continue to ho the rule until the joy amd privilege of parenthood and its duties and responsibilities reoecupy their old high piace in the world. There can bo no justice to childhood which does not give children the first place in I ho'thoughts of thi> parents. Nowadays many people are inclined to regard this r.s v very nan-raw, oldfashioned view; but I ant glad to know that there a.re still to be found those who heartily endorse and follow what Airs Karle tells us was her own personal experience as a mother: —

In the days of long ago,, when my children were children, and, as is apt to bo the ease when one is surrounded with a. small growing-up f.i.mi'.y, half the population of the world seemed to me to be children, my thoughts were so centred on the subject that nothing else appeared 1o me of any great importance. — From "Pot-Pourri from iv Surrey Garden."
