So dad" Gan Say Good"

Something new under the sun has
com6 " iighI In Pennsylvania. Inere
have been marriage contracts in which
the parties have undertaken to set forth
in the most binding terms their mutual
duties and obligations 10 the relation.
There are many people in the world who
believe in the power of the law to make
both the individual and society moral.
As though through the force Of legal en-.
aetment human character can be chang.
ed! The mere fact OF a legislature is, n
their judgement, endowed with the crea-
tive power to speak into belng moral
character in immoral men and women.
Evidently Pennsylvania father who
has just demanded gn irolclad contract
from his daughter before consentng
that she go on the stage, is of THE class
Following is the contract the young
woman has signed.
promise, in consideration of $50 adj
vdnced and backing" in my theatrical
venture, to continue my French aud
German studies, at opportunity; not to
midnight supper and sit up late with
frivolous company; not to associate un.
necessarily with the side door" youths;

promise to be concliiatng aud agree
able to my employers and everybody
else; not to play cards nor dance, except
in my profession; to carry along my
prayer book and read il, and to live so

And this father, lacking faith in the
Inherited tendency toward goodness in
character and life, As well as the charac.
ter results attained by the parental
training Of his daughter, evidently
lmagines that though the sacrednesa of
her contract obligation and for a con-
sideraton of $50 to her in hand paid
she will from henceforth always Give SC

This method may for the time being
getresults in conduct, but not in charac-
ter. No obligation taken upon the lips
or reduced to writing and executed il
the most formal and solemn manner can
count 10 tho long run, unless tnat obi
cation finds an answering echo in the
heart, In character, alone, is there
safety from moral peril anywhere. Ony
those parents who thus safeguard theil
children can confidently expect them t.
live so that dad can always say Good.
