Parents and Children.

Much has been written lately, and with
great severity, against the rising generation
as though the young men of the present day
were infinitely worse than their fathers and
in some respects perhaps they are. But
ought not we gray-beards to consider that
after all, it may be our own fault2 1t may
not he an axiom of universal truth thai
good fathers make good sons" Indeed,
have known many cases in which industry
self-denial and other kindred virtues have
shown tendency to "skip generation,
like the gout. But there is enough in the
saying for US to ponder over very gravely
when we are disappointed aud grleyed by the
conduct of our children. | do not think
that, in the recent discussions upon this sub
iect, sufficient stress was laid upon the fact
that the age is emphatcally one Of excessive
competition, and that men devote more time
than they did of old to affairs of business,
and less to the performance Of their domestic
duties. 1t is hard, grinding, money.making
age. Men toll early and late for their wives
and children, and think they have done well.
The man who said that he had never seen his
children by daylight except on Sundays, ex-
pressed, with only little exaggeration, what
is a common state of things. And | say that
such fathers do well in their generation as
bread-fnders;" but might they not do bet
ter if they lived less in the counting-house, and
little more in the nursery and the school,
room One cannot but respect the man who
" scorns delights and lives laborious days" for
the sake of those who care TO come after
him 70 but there IL better wealth than money

The rich often have it very hard. The care
of great estate or an extensive business is a
great burden. 1t deprives of sleep and some-
times ruins health. When men are in this con.
dition they are apt to think the state of the
poor very enviable. 1t is said that Seneca,
with two millions of pounds out on usury,
wrote on table of gold in praise of poverty"
No wonder. The poor man must have been
