HINTS TO PARENTS AND RICH MEN


We recently noticed nun fcent act
on the part OF Mr.. Potter, of Primo, ton,
N. j., in presenting his four chi dren with
$500, 600 each on I e 4th of July. This
is said 10 DE the second act Of the kind on
The part OF Mr.. P. We n ed no better
pro Of the sound sense AID ndly heart
Of MIR. Potter. When PARENTS have for
tunes to bequealh to their children, it is
much better 10 divide them before death.
We have frequently observed with pain
the III fe, ling engendered in families
where children expect fortunes from their
parents, and are Obliged TO await their
demise before they can real re them. A
hypocritical str fc takes place for the pa
rents those who are from home are mis-
represent and yreiudiced by the chiidrt n
al the fre-slje--the father is frequently
persuade to unnatural neglect Of his ell.
der born offspring by the younger mem.
bers oil the family, who are always with
him, and a degrading jealousy invariably
disturbs the harmony ofthe household.
Besides This, there is, humiiating as
may be the fact, secret longing for the
death oil the testator, who IS 10 enrich his
heirs. The thirst for independence and
riches knows no bounds, and often renders
its victims callous to the ordinary feelings
of human nature. The progress OF time
is carefully noted the laps Of years and
hours enters into the selfish calculation of
the duration of human life, and every mo-
ment which prolIacts the delay Of the
rich man on the stage of life is regarded
with jealous envy by his expec,ant heirs.
We have witnessed many such scenes,
and they are part ofeveryday history.
How much better would it be for the
testator, as Mr.. Potter, TO distribute his
fortune, while living, among his children.
How much more coneenlsl 10 a generous
mind to s. e, before death his desc, ndaits
in the enj "ym"nt Of Independent ease-to
witness his oflspfings, by the did If his
well directed bounty, risiqg TO honorable
positions in society. We know of nothing
more cruel than the sp actacle ola par nj
living in nfilueLce, with children strug.
Cling in pov,r y and distress against the
buff tngs of the world, refusing to extend
10 them the least aid from his own abun-
dant stores. These observations will ap
ply equally well to the man OF competency
as to the millionaire. Advancing age
freezes the blood and dina the eye, but
why should it dry up the heart and drown
al the good foolings of our nature iu ava
rice and selfshnessl Why should age
Lose its sympathy W tn youth, and stn-
gioess and parsimony take the place OF
generosity and good nature! Let us hope
that the good example Of Mr.. Potter may
find lmtators- Phil Forum.
