LET THE CHILDREN PLAY.-Many faith

LET THE CHILDREN LAf.-hdhy ldtH
ers seem to have adopted a theory that
play is sinful, and their own whims n
conveniences are to govern their laml-
lies, at whatever cost of comfort to the
latter. If such a father wishes to take
a nap, or read a newspaper, he is sure
to occupy the only in the house IN
which the children have liberty to play,
and then constantly alright them by a
spasmodic yell to keep still If the
children retire to the yard, the noise
disturbs him; if they go up stairs, the
racket overhead drives him crazy if
they go down stairs, he cant stand
such a hullabaloo under his fcet;" and
in a fit of rage he at last stamps Tom
my in a corner, boxes little Joe's ears,
and sends Jenny weeping to bed. 1t
never occurs to him that playing is a
necessity of childhood, and that when
he thus ignorantly and brutally brushes
out natures manifestations, he does his
children an almost irrcparablc injury;
and least Of all does it occur to him
that, instead of sending his children of
out of the way, he should get out OF the
way himself.

platform to which you allude either
