Children before Clothes.
VU*a«ii va w ■ w Ifurdened with many cares, mothers sometimes feel that they cannot take tine patiently to instruct their little ones, and give them love and sympathy. For lack of time and thought, many a mother refuses her children some innocent pleasure, while busy lingers and weary eyes are diligently engaged on work designed only for adornment, something that, at best, will serve only to encourage vanity and extravagance in their young hearts. As the children approach manhood and womanhood, these lessons bear fruit in pride ami moral worthlessness. The mother grieves over her children’s faults, but docs not realize that the harvest she is reaping is from seed which she herself planted. Good Health.
