my CHILDHOOD and the father of my more
advanced years wore a very differ ent ex

full, abstracted, but not morose. As his
children sprung up around hi9, full oi
life aud hope, he seemed to lose the
buoyaut spirits of his early manhood

Life was simple state of enjoyment
Trial had not quiekened 'ry perceptions,
nor suffering taught me an uuselfsh re

The home provided by my father was
elegant-some would have called it lux

plishneuts no expense was spared

the most expensive; with none other
would 1 have been satisfied, for l had
come naturally to regard myself as OIL

and who INDUCED the fashionable vice
of depreciating everything that did hot

Sometimes my mother went with US, but
my father never. He was not able to
leave his business. Bus'nessl How l

his income
My mother looked at me strangely
and sighed, but answered nothing.
About this time my father showed
some inclination to repress onr growing
disposi ion to spend money extravagant-
ly in dress. Nothing but hundred dol

White had been presented by her father
with hundred dUllar cashmere, and
did not mean to be put off with anything
