like school-boys when recess comes, they
want to rock somebody or fight yaller
Jackets nest They hardly took time to
kiss and say howdy and shuck of their Sun
day clothes before they were off, dabbling
in the branch, rocking the ducks, fighting
the gandcrs, fishing for minnows, catching
frogs, rolling an old hogshead down the
hill, breaking the bull calf, and every little
whilo coming to grandma for some more
gingerbread. Here they go and there they

Mr.. WI. Munro denies the author
ship of Il certain recent article in the
Tribune, which THE Sun last week
accredited to him. In making the ac-
cusation we had good reason to believe
that he was the author of the edito-
rial alluded to, because we have been
credihly informed that dnring Mr..
Rand Ills abse ndthroughont the
campaign. as we'll, Mr.. Munro did all
the editorial work of that paper. Re
lying upon this information to pre-
sumo that Mr.. NJ. was the author o.:
this particular editorial was, we be
lieve, but reasonable. Laying aside
this, Mr.. Munro makes the identical
error of which he complains so Wig
orously ,and with far less or no reason
1T all-in heaping uncalledfor abuse
on some pers,n outside of this Off ;e,
supposed Ivy him to be the anthor of
the little item which hurts so badly.
AS for his tira.le on Auditor Giltiuan
for any of his past acts nothing more
need be sail. The election is over,
and. despite the base lies and SANDER
.eus reports that were circulated. it
Stands ont boldly as 4 complete anil
sufficient vinlication Of his past Off
cial record. We have allowed Mr..
Munro space for an answer and we
now sxpect that the controversy is

Never again will they be crawling over
tired paternal, or riding on -his.back, or trot-
ting on his weary knees as he sings the
same old songs he has sung a thousand
times before. Our last and youngest of
dozen has passed the rubicon-bless her Lit
tie heart-I almost wish she never wouk
grow any more, or get any older, for she is
the comfort of our declining years. She
can now wash and dress and undress and
say her own prayers and put her little self
to bed. She can sing her own sougs and
she waits on US like fairy and fills the
house with sunlight.
The crop is laid by. In the 'heyday of our
youthful vigor kind Providence enables
us to bear up splendidly under these bur
dens, but IN old man can't. An old bachelor
had better not begin. 1t is fraud upon his
young wife, for it leaves her ali the burdens.
If there is any peril inkfe that is like ling
ering suicide, II Is for an old widower who
has raised one crop Of children to marry q
young wife and 60 to'cropping again. It is
against thu order of nature, and he will
hardly get to Heaven, for paradise was not
made for fools.
When a man begins to get along in years
he gradually changes from being king in
his family to patriarch. He is moro ten
der and kind to his offspring, and instead of
ruling them, the first thing he knows they
are ruling him. 1t is the first-born children
who get the most licking, and this is right
and according to nature. They are the
trainers Of the younger ones, both by pre-
cept and example They are to lead the
way and must be made to lead it right.
They get the most favor, too, and enjoy til
most privileges. They 60 when the parents
60. They wear no secondhand clothes.
They have the birth-right and must keep
up and hand down the good name Of the

marry and leave as for other loves that are

give her ring and a book and little
Crench candy now and then. 1t does look
mighty strange, and couldn't understand
II at all if-if-if l hadn't done the very
same thing myself in tho long ago." And
she kept knitting away with . smile and
tear upon her motherly face.
Raising children is q mighty big thing,
and it takes two to make it success.
Every child ought to have father and
mother-a father to govern with vigor and
a mother to love with tenderness. A man
is the head of the house about some things,
and about some other things he is only next
to head, if he amt foot A man can punish
his children, of course, when they deserve
il, but it is always advisable to make q
reasonable explanation to the good mother
who bore them, for they are her children
sure enough, and she knows 1t. There
never was but one case Of doubt as to who
was the mother of child, and King Solo,
mon settled tina in short order. The pain
and trouble ans nursing and night watch
ing have all been hers. The washing and
t.cssing and mending and patching, ticiny
ap fingers and toes and sympathizing with
all their great big little troubles. 1t all
falls to her while the father is attending to
his farm or his store or his Office, or may be
his club and his billiard table. I've seen
the OLD hen scratch and work and worry all
the day for her tiny brood, and I've seen
the old rooster step around and look on
with a paternal pride and do nothing. Ever
and anon he would find o worm or a bug
and call them to come and got it, and just
before he got there he ate it himself. When
