For a moment the blood rushed 20 his
high expansive brow, and thought he
was angry. The mother Was also sur
prised. She had not expected suchssa
reply. But the man instantly regain

the vast amount oi influence they ar,
capable af esertiae over their children
When viii they realize the sucngil
and permanencc ef those impression
received in childhood!
