Pocket. Money.

Ir such generosity as that Of Mrs. Prim
rose, who gave each Of her girls guines
to keep in her pocket, but with strict in
/ iurctiOns never to change ii, would satisfy
the greedy youngsters Of our generation
their parents would rot object to its exer
else. The children, however, of thest
days are provoked by too many temp q
tions to expense, to be contented with
being made the mere depositaries Of mon
ey. They know too we'll the capabilities
of dollar TO be satisfied with the ring and
touch Of it. 1t is not possible to keep the
young in ignorance of that which fulfllt
so universal and important function In
the relations of the world as money. They
must necessarily, from the earliest age, be-
come more or less familiar with its power
and it is desirable that they should learn
as soon as possible, how to use it with dis
cretion.
1t is prudent practice, we think, to
give children regular allowance Of mon
ey. This, apart from the opportunity il
supplies Of gratifying their small and in
nocent desires, and thus adding to Their
happiness, aft rds parents and guardians
periodical occasions for intoxicating discre.
lion in expenditure, and observing the ef
| feet
When children are somewhat advanced
in years, il is we'll to make the allowances
of money suffi iently large not only to pay
for the innocent enjoyments which are per
mitted, but for various articles of need
They thus learn early to discriminate be-
tween necessary and unnecessary expe2di
ture, and with the not mfr, quent good re.
suit Of checking the latter.
Da,a,,tc chnt.II no uyit hin cprt ain mn
dent limits, as generous ia their allow
ances of money to children as their means
will permit. Lord Bacon says: "The IL
liberality Of parents in allowance toward
their children is q harmful error, and
shifts, makes them sort with mean com.
pany, and makes them surfeit more when
they come to plenty; and therefore the
thority towards their children, but not
their purse"
The tendency of youth TO excess must
always be regarded as reasonable motive
for keeping the supply of pocket money
within reasonable limits. ochild should
have the means of inordinate indulgence
and as his capacity Of stomach for tarts
and sweets Is only to be checked by the
emptiness Of his purse, 1t becomes neces-
sary to compensate for the boundlessness
OF the one by the smallness of the other
There is negative advantage in the
pocket-money system which has been
proved in the course of considerable ex'
perience in the discipline of children
The Withholding Of the regular allowance
has been found, like the stoppage of the
sailors ration of grog. or the prisoner
supply of tobacco, An easily applicable and
most effective means Of punishment. We
have known many ayoun gster, unterrifed
by the threats of the rod and the darh
