Parents, you may not be able to
leave your sons and daughters rich
legacy in money and real estates,
but you can leave them something
worth infinitely more, You can leave
them all an education. We beg you
don't neglect to do this. 1t is some
thing that they can't lose, nor can it
be taken from them. But few child
rem ever profit by what is left them
iii the way of money. They squandpr
it and spend it in little while, and
the result is often tim IS that they
would have been better off without
dollar. Indeed it is better to leave
them to work out their own fortunes,
after having supplied them with the
necessary training and education.
We have no sort of interest in Offering
this advice other than the good of
your children aud the welfare of our
common country, and we trust that

will consider well the force of what
we have said and act upon it. While
