again? Yes, there are boys and boys.
The ode that will work himself dswn to
death, and the other that will do any
thing but work, if it is possible for him
to shirk it. Ask every man you are ac-
quainted with and he will tell you it is
true, and that you may reasonably be-
lieve it will be so. Not long since an
aged woman remarked about an evil
disposed child, this way: "He is what
the Lord made him, and what can you
dow True, the Lord gave the boy
fine and shapely body. but
He never gave to that child the
evil, cruel nature that marked almost
every move the child made. The mother
told her tale one day, and that child tells
the same tale in his hourly conduct. 1t
is constant reproduction of her own
daily, hourly life over and over again,
and she may try to make reDaratiOD, but
she cannot keep the little hands from
cruel treatment of every creature that
has life in its form, and he will torture
it In some way, for the spirit born of
evil inhabits perfectly nodded human
form, and the Giver Of all that is good
never placed that spirit in that body.
1t was the mother that implanted
that nature, and yet lives to see the
spirit working in the heart
tries to redeem it. am no believer in
f0rnnrdipa rion Qn6 cannot QnnQof tho
theory of the Lord sending any such
child into this world with an evil-dis-
posed nature, yet there are people that
do believe such to be the case, when it
is not! Such a creed was old Adams
plea when in the Garden of Eden. 1.-THE
woman Thou gavest me; she tempted
me. and l did eat" | suppose that is
why so many always place the blame on
women by following old Adams eX-
ample, while in nine cases out of ten
men are the most to blame in the case.
l only ask that women have credit
given them for the good they do and,
admit that, they might do better some
times when tempted to do evil, and then
you may find that women are often
times sorely tried and tempted beyond
endurance and they fall. Give them
pity sometimes and help them out of
the Slough Ol ueSpOHu, anu you MAY
learn where the blame may be placed.
We are none of us perfect and not one
of us poor mortals are free from sins of
some kind. and we have no right to say
the Lord made this man or woman a sim
ner beyond other sinners, for he never
did that deed.
The mother of a boy that is prone to
evil, if she realizes the whole tenor of
his nature. ought to have our pity. But
do we give her any at all? "How could
the children of such mother be good,
or anything but evil?' was the question
asked but few days since. Then the
aged woman was arraigned for the deeds
of children and grandchildren. Such a
discussion may be all right and of adj
vantage in many ways, but yester eve
little three-year-old boy of Irish extrac-
ton hit the mark when he turned to the
cruel boy and upbraided him for torturs
ing little kitten: "You are the deyiP-
own son."
But the devil was in the heart of that
mother before the child's birth, and she
demands our pity. not in words does
she do it, but in her efforts to undo the
work she has wrought in the past, but
the boy may Still stand as monument
