PARENTS soLIcITUDE FOR THEIR CHILDREN.
All parents want their children so turn
out well. However poorly father and mother
may have done themselves, they want their
Bons and daughters TO do splendidly Up to
forty years of age parents may have ambi-
tons for themselves, after that their chief
ambitions are for their children. Some Of
the old time names indicate this. The name
of Abner means "his fathers lamp" The
name Abigail means "her fathers joy And
what q parental delight was Solomon to
David, and Samuel to Hannah, and Joseph
TO Jacob And the best earthly staff that a
father has to lean on is a good son, and the
strongest arm mother has TO help her down
the steep of years is that of grateful child
