I say again money is of very little con-
| sequence. "fGive me neither poverty
nor riches, - said the wisest old philoso-
pher who ever wrote. None of the things
best worth having in life cost money.
| Sunshine, blue sky, blue sea, health,
beauty, genius, love, these are not to be
bought with coin. Disease may be allie
waited, gratitude may be won Dy wealth
but health and love, God s greatest gifts
TO man physical and man spiritual, are
not to be bought or sold.
On the other hand, we must not ignore
the necessities of existence. In our day
and country two young people who can
dissatisfied with each other and home
where comfort'snd .neatness are the only
jewels, these young people, if they have
health, strength, and love, can win such
home for themselves.
If you have money it is a pleasant
thing, but the pleasantest thing YOU can
do with it, after all, is TO give 1t away.
In household where the wife is I'M
reasonable about her personal share of
expenditure, and the husband ungen-
erous toward her, while he is too lavish
IN his own private spending of money, be
sure these are but superficial symptoms
of q deeper misunderstanding between
the pair. The financial friction is not
the cause of their coldness, +bht the re-
suit of it. If they truly love one another
the strife is in the other direction. Darby
is determined that Joan shall have a new
silk dress, while Joan ID set upon the
money being laid out On winter over
coat for Darby. Do not lift your doubt
ing eyebrows, Miss InoFedulous or Mr..
Sceptio. could quote chapter and verse
TO prove this assertion ,%pot from the his
tory of one, but of a dozen happily mar
RED folk I have known.
No matter what your means may be,
bring up your children simply. Take a
lesson from the education of Henry ".

training an old chronicler saith:
"He was at first very difficult to raise,
having had SO many as seven or eight
nurses. As soon as ever he was weaned
the king gave him In charge of Susan de
Bourbon, wife of Jean d 'Albret, Baron
de Molssens, who carried him to the
Chateau de Coarasse in Bearn, amid the
mountains and the rocks.
ellis grandfather would on no ac-
count have brought him up with all the
delicacy and consideration too often be-
slowed upon those of his rank. He for
babe him either to be becomingly dressed
or to be humored with any sort of toys or
nonsense, or again to be IN any way
fawned to or remembered of his rank;
for, said he, these things but serve to the
pulling up of vanity, and rather to breed
arrogance and pretenson than noble or
generous propensities. In fact, he re-
quired him to be clad and to be treated
exactly as other children, Of his years.
Aud he was made to run about and climb
ali day among the rocks, SO as early to
inure him to danger and Fatigue, the
better to impart tone and vigor to his
system, and which was, assuredly, above
all things to be looked to in the nurture

through and suffer so much for the re-

Let.soIr sons and dapgfstars grow up
truly independent, without those habits
of luxury which when once formed are
go hard to break. Then they will be
fitted for whatever life awaits them. If
they are to find their life among the rich,
they will easily learn the methods of
spending money; and If not, they will
ind nothing painful in life whose pros
perity ls not external.
This independence of material con-
ditions Is the true independence, the
very foundation of our national exis-
tenoe. II in the certain artificial social
circles it seems to us to be dying or dead,
let 1t not shake our faith In the vitality OF
this fundamental principle. It is the
heritage of our people, and it behooves
us to hand it down to our children even
as our fathers bequeathed it to US.
