We clip the following item from a
correspondence from RenoVa to the
| Clinton Democrat. The evil spoken Of
is n serious one ut OTHER iplaces than
Renoya. Parents think of-thcse mat
ters much TOO lightly If they think of
them at all; and many life has Eeen
wrecked, many a soul ruined merely
because they are too indulgent or neg
lgent to do their duty:
OUR Rows.
Our boys-are they bad boys? Yes,
many OF them are worry bad boys. Why?
Parents are responsible. They, the
parents, seem to take no moral Tos-
possibility rs to their boys. 1t is
wrong decidedly wrong for parents
who have brought offspring into the
world to take no heel to their train
ing. Many Of them are apparently
waits upon the great ocean of time
They seem TO have no guiding star,
and their fral barkS are dashed a
gainst all the miserable quicksands Of
a wicked and perverse world. Ruin
haunta them at every step; and is it
any wonder that they are bad, when
the parents permit their boys and in
many cases their glrlS from eight to
fourteen years Of age TO travel tie
streets at dli hours OF the night, regard
less of consequences? Fathers, did it
ever occur to you that You were blasting
the happiness of a priceless soul 10y a
mistaken philanthrophy? You want
to be kind to your boys; you desHe
them to understand that you are doing
what you can to render them happy
here. 1t is al wrong. 1t is curse to
your bright and cheerful boys. stop
it-stop it at Once-keep your children
in of the StlCetS at nights, and the
banCful Influences Of bad men and
bad women will not reach them, and
they will grow up useful men in So
ciety. Parents, fathers, mothers,
preachers and laymen lend rs your in
tlueuCe 10 break down this fearful evil
aud to destroy the human maelstrom
that is surely drawing our boys and
girls to certain destruction. Do il,
and do it at once, or the curse of an Of
Tended God will rest upon you, and
your gray hairs will 90 down to the
grave wretched, miserable beings for
having failed to properly execute the
commission given you.
