Easier Lives.

Some fathers ard mothers of the pres
emit day, who had hard times in their
earlier life, are contriving to give their
children easier lives-to ''let them en-
joy life while they CAM Strong and
hardy timber does not grow in the
shade nor amidst rich muck, but out
where it feels the free storms and sun
shines. Our State has an abundance
of examples of robust old age Of emil
grants from hardy New England,
whose early lives were constant and
unremitting toll. The truly great men
of this country have nearly all come
up to their present enviable estates by
great personal tribulations. It is evil
IDENTIFY mistake for parents to wish
their children lives of case. They come
not up to rugged manhood in that way.
In the lap of luxury they grow soft
and sappy, and are only prepared to
squander the estates and good name Of
their parents, which, by lives of indus
try and sobriety. they have built up.
By industrious boyhood there is an easy
road to rugged manhood, and the de-
scent pleasant to green old age. The
power of true merit is only de-
veloped, like gunpowder, by finding
opposition; but kind parents are
seldom willing that the cherished
objects of their alteration shall
have their capabilities strength
ened and polished by rugged and trying
conflicts with the world. Men, by their
own inherent energy, when left to lean
upon it, frequently rise to the highest
positions of honor and usefulness, but
Providence, for wise purpose, proba-
bly,, withholds from them the wisdom
to rear their children in the same
schools of trial as they were aided by,
so that there shall not be long success
sion in one family of royal ability to
govern the world. In many cases it is
apparent that Providence withholds
children from the great and gifted, and
in others He blinds their sensibilities
as to the way they should be reared, to
render them capable of perpetuating
their parents honors and positions.
David was wise and mighty ruler, but
his sons did not start out as he did, to
battle with stone and sling. His inn
mediate family SUCCESSORS were weak
and feeble, and it took generations for
David's blood to appear again by the
royal road to honor, so as to have the
confidence of the people and the power
to lift the world again. We. beseech
parents not to raise their sons and
daughters too soft for the worlds serv'
