would like to have some ancestors, so
he walked straight to apicture Dealers

Mr., Hayward went TO dine with Lord
Houghton, and was astonished to find
the picture in the dining room. Seeing
that it attracted his guest's attention,
Lord Houghton said: VERY good pic

OLD FASHIONED CHILDREN.
The Southern Presbyterian Rises to a
Pertinent Inquiry.

The Southern Presbyterian asks the
question, What has become of the
children" and then proceeds to answer
its question as follows:
They are very scarce these days. 1t
is a rare thing to see them now. We do
not mean that there are no young peo-
pie. They are MS plentiful as ever. But
we mean genuine, old fashioned chill.
dren. Boys that go b~arefooted and
wade in the branch and stump their
toes, and have IN average of two or
three tied up at a time. Boys that
carry a small junk shop in their pockets,
and don't know near 80 much about
polite manners as they do about bird
meats and the best fish holes. Girls that
go barefooted and wear aprons and
~sunbonnets and hunt hen nests with
their brothers. Alas! They have gone
out of style now, and we have a gene.
ration of little misses who give enter
tainments in the latest style, shed their
aprons and receive before they are 10
years old, and are old in society long
before they are grown. Boys and girls
who belong to clubs at the age at
which their parents were making mud
pies. There is nothing 80 re-
freshing as a genuine boy, SO delight
full as a genuine girl. But these little
grown up people, with their clubs and
receptions, that put on the airs of
grown people and talk like Bostonians,
present a spectacle that would be ridic.
ulous If it were not 80 sad.
Our advice to parents would be to
keep their children at home. All too
soon, the flying years will bring them
to manhood and womanhood with all
the cares and struggles of maturity.
All too soon, for you, will they grow
out Of your home and leave it for homes
of their own. While they may, let
them enjoy the fresh innocent joys of
childhood it will be a sweet memory to
them in the years to come. They were
given, not to be reared as dollhouse
plants, but to be trained for useful men
and women. Let them grow gradually
and there will be more sturdiness about
their maturity. We hav seen a great
number of phenomenal children, but
they generally outgro " their smartness
as they do their clothes, and turn out
to be very ordinary mortals. Don't
rob your children of childhood.
