!cuHu, anu NiI. IJcp''u nllu' piil,
did you carry any swill TO the hog,
since you came from the fcld:"
"No."
"You careless boy, you wouldn't do
anything il didn't attend to it. Give
me the lines and I'll drive on, and you
can go and give them couple OF
pailfuls and ovcrtakc MS before we get
to work. "
And if Tommy Dobson does not
take care of his parents in their old
age he will be considered very undu-
titul son. And let me ask every pa
rent who expects such service from
their children one oU,', ,,iqn' DO You
! deserve it? Of course every child
owes duty to its parents, but do not
the parents also owe a duty to the
child? Have yen any right TO recruit
your own strength and take your own
ease by imposing an extra burden up
on your child Did you ever consd-
er that the half-grown limbs were not
made Of cast.ir0n, but could grow
weary as we'll rs your own? | have
seen men, aud women too, that seemed
to consider that the sole object OF
their childrpn's existence was to serve
them. and if the qualities OF love and
tenderness aud sympalhv and consid
Grafton are not among the principles
which govern the conduct Of the pa
rent in the helpless years of the child's
dependence, how can be expect all
these good qualities to spring sponta-
neously from the heart of his offspring
as soon as he has outgrown his child
/ ish dependence and his fathers author
ity, and be freely lavished upon the
parent who has never bestowed them
Who can expect to reap what he has
not scwn? Rccollectlons Of injustice
and thoughtlcss cruelty will not fade
from the memory at will, but continue
to haunt the mind that fain would
Danish them through all the long
years that intervene between the

children, but if he sees fit to wrap
himself in mantle Of selfshne2s and
exercise his authority, not for the
good Of the child, but for the purpose
