: take your parents az a great disadvantage,
for they cannot stand as much as they once

At sixty and seventy years the vitality is
( not 50 strong as at thirty or forty. Surely
they are descending the down grade of life
swiftly enough without your increasing the

FURTERR SUFFERING SAVED BY DEATH.
Perhaps it is a good thing that cruel treat
ment by a child a6breviates a parents life.
for what is there desirable il q fathers life or
mothers life il its peace is gonei Do you
not think death is something benefcent Il 1t
stops the mothers neart from aching and her
eyes from weeping. and says: You need not
bear the excruciation any longer. Go and

now where the wicked cease from troubling
and the weary are at restl' At the depart
ure Of such mothers let the music Dc an an
them instead OF a dirge. While you and
hear no sound, yet there are AZ this moment
tens Of thousands Of parental hearts breaking.
All care was taken with the boys schooling,
al good coulsels given, and the equi pmeut
for a sober aud earnest aad useful life was
provided, but it has az gone, and the foolish
sen has become the beaviness Of his mother.
Much Of the poignancy OF the parental
grief arises from the ingrattuds Of such DO
havlor. What On undertaking it is to con
