SIGNED to Providence that felt ike
! taking my text from Proverbs: I'll ne
eve that mocketh at his father, ana
| refuseth to obey its mother, the ravens
of the valley shall pick it out, and the
Young eagles shall eat it," In other
words, such an migrate ought to have
flock of crows for pall-bearersi con-
gratulate YOU if you have the honor OF
providing for aged PARENTS The bless
in6 of the Lord God of Joseph and
Jacob will be on you
And here I would like to sing the
praises of the sisterhood who renamed
unmarried that they might administer
to aged parents. The brutal Wor1o
calls these self-sacrifcing ones pecuhaf
or angular; but if you had had as many
ennovances as they have had, Aantlppe
would have been an angel compared
with YOU. 1t is easier to take care OF
: five rol1icking, romping children than
J nf one childish old man. Among
; the hest women of our land are
: those who allowed the bloom of life to
pass away while they were caring 1or
S their parents. While other maloens
/ were asleep, they were soaking the ola
Y mans feet, or tuclxing up the covers
e around the invalid mother. While othef
+ maidens were in the cotillion, they were
e dancing attendance upon rheumatism
: and spreading plasters for the lame
= hack of the septenarian, and heating
Y eatnip tea for insomnia.
