with respec, and lorbearance by their
children. Olympus, mother OF Alexan-
der the Great, was a woman Of ambitious
disposition, and occssioued much trouble
10 her son. Nevertheless, when pursu.
ing his conquesis in Asia, he sent her
many splendid presents out Of the spoIls
which he had taken, as tokens oil his a.
lection. lie only begged tina, she would
not meddle with State affairs, but allow
his kingdom to be managed Psscesbly by

not hurt you
That is The very reason,' replied the
boy. why would no, touch them. L,
is true my father would not touch me;
yet my dlsobedirnce, know, would hurt
my father, and tina, would be worse 10 me
than anything else.
A boy who grows up with such Prin.
ciples will be man in the best sense Of
the word. 1t shows regard for recHlude
that would render him trustworthy under
every trial.
