Lacking in Perseverance,

The commandment with promise Is
en-, phatic as to the duty of children 10
their parents Honor thy father and
thy mother. that thy days may be long
in the land that the Lord, thy God
civeth thee" In former times, even
within my own recollection. young per-
sons were required to show respect to
all aged persons. and when grandparents
were sDeck:ng 20 listen and behave re-
spcctlully- IN the presence OF their ell
de-s There are doubtless some eXcep-
tons but the majority of young men
and young women are not only indiffer-
ent IL, their attentions to aSed parents
and relatives, but rude in replies and
careless in waiting on them, either in
sickness or in health. The aged ones
are IN their way, even the tots are ready
t. Sing a sneer. An aged grandmother
told n'a some weeks ago of young Rid
under FIVE that was misbehaving and
she had rebuked him only to hear hin,
say. This is our house, and you'll have
to get out before long" To anothe?
aged relative the youngster had said
something OF similar import. This young
sprout had taken the cue from his moth
er. who had evidently talked It in his
presence. Little pitchers have ears! The
world moves so fast with these undut-
full ones that they evidently forget the
psrent's care and solicitude for them
y.lien they were in helpless infancy.
But this commandment with promise
is still in force along with the other
nine. Retribution will be sure to fol-
low The story Of the little boy who
had watched his old grandfather feed
from wooden tray because his old
hands shook and he spilled his coffee
on the neat daughter-in-laws table
cloth He walked around and viewed
the wooden tray from all sides; then
he opened his mouth to say. Papa, when
gets to be a big man. and you comes
tc live at my house, l am surely soinS
to get you a tray like grandpa's to eat
out of--then you can't spill nothing on
anybody's nice tablec!oth.' The ten
dency OF the present age is toward r.
reverence for age, disregard of duty to
PARENTS, ingratitude toward those who
have raised them from infancy, and gem
cral lack of respect for aged persons,
vne Their Of high or low degree. Maybe
he time is ripe for retribution and il

as healthy a bunch Of children as you'll
find anywhere. So you sec they're not
always taking food from one meal to
the next and scattering it all over the
house and yard, and it has saved me
much useless work sweeping and keep
ing the crumbs picked up after them.
And this is the way I encourage them
to cat the things which they sometimes
claim not to like: 7 say. "Oh. you must
eat some Of it. for ue must cultivate
our taste for anything that is eatable
Suppose YOU were to go visiting, and
they didn't have anything else to eat
You wouldn't want to make your host
eSs feel bad by not having anything
you could cat. and if there were other
things you liked better you'd hate to
make your meal OF one thing"
So, you sec I never have much trou-
bic in getting them to eat a wholesome
meal. 7 hope this will help some 9TH
er mother in getting her children to
diet on more than one kind of food.
My letter is getting lengthy, so 7 will
have to hid you adieu. Wishing each
merry Christmas and happy new year.
Sincerely,
KITTY WELLS.

A QUESTION WE'LL PUT.
worse Than Civil War Times

To the Editor-Sir: 1t is interesting
to compare the cost of living now in
Virginia with what IL was in 1854, when
the blockade cut US off almost entirely
from the world. In letter to his wife
lin Lynchburg). of December 80, 1863,
Captain Charles VI. Blacllford says:
''My plan is to get the pork here Tin
east Tennessee; he was with Long
street,. already sailed. and pay for it
in gold Confederate States currency
was not taken at all in east Tennessee).
With gold can buy it at from 81 to IS
A hundredweight. So, even if | give
$40 for one for the gold. it will not cost
over a dollar a pound in Confederate
States currency when delivered in
Lynchburg. I'll try to get s10o in gold
and lay il out in pork"
Again, in 1855. my brother in Rich
mond (then on duty as executive Off
Ger at the arsenaD, gave $500 for a
barrel of flour. equivalent then to about
$40 in gold $50 for -.
Now pork is s14 hundred in gold,
and flour SIS a barrel! And no block
ade about us. That was called the
starving" time in the Confederacy.
What shall we call these times now in
this dear old commonwealth?
