An Old Fashioned Mother.

Ah, how much meaning ls composed IN
shat simple expression, the old fashioned
mother 1t carries our thoughts back TO
those women whose home influence was
pure and elevaling, who taught their
daughters 10 render themselves blessings
TO society by their goodness, their dill
gence and their useful knowledge. We
think Of the lofty heroism, the brave en-
durance, the thousand virtues they incul-
Gated, and sigh a. the contrast between
the past and the present. How few mod.
ern mothers understand or perform their
dniy in training their children. A spat-
terng of this, that, and the other, is con-
sidered quite an education, and show of
to advantage is made the great aim o. life
No wonder there are so many desOla,e
fresides, SO many unhappy wives, so ma
ny drinking, gambling husbands.
