The Truth.

There is nothing better, nothing safer,
nothing so sure of bringing forth the
right fruit in the end, than truth. Tell
your child she lrHth. Tell him thpt obe.
dience requires unpaid sacrifices. Tell
him that he need not expect that purse
of gold will drop into his hand the mo-
mont he denies himself Of coveted treas
urs. Tsll him that the path of duty is
often terribly hard, and seldom leads to an
oil we'll, or a seat in Congress, or to a
brown stone front house. Tell him that
virtue sometimes brings thorns, enmities,
neglect. But tell hiu that it is virtue,
nevertheless; the brightest, the noblest,
and the best gifts, and whatever comes
af goodness it is the one thing desirable,
itself sboFs FL price. Make him feel
that obedience is pleasure, that goodness
is delight, that love is altogether lovely
aud he will not expect to be paid for the
snallest services and be tempted 10
sithhsid kindness when he is not sure
Of a reward. bsssais must cease ap-
pealing to their appetites and the ava
rice of their children. il they would have
