The thing that ia tll0r
trehi? to to s.-o is that
,metimos the men and women
who hnv done well in h To son
curious inahil'.iy to tmin the.r
own children in the way that
lias mulled mceessfn'ly to them.
I think that all of us know p
pie who, became they have
worked liaid an, triumphed,
feel that somehow or other they
will span? their children. They
will foolishly spare their child
ren the acquisition of the very
qualities which have made the
parents triumph. Too often you
see the wan, and I am sorry to
eay, the woman, who says, "I
have had to work hard; my sons
and daughters shall have an
easy time." lie is bringing ruin
upon the children who says it.
Of course, you want to give
your children all the love pos
Bible, hut it is not right to mis
take folly for affection. When
von spare the child that which
alone will enable it to conquer
in after life, you are not doing
it a blessing; you are doing the
greatest wrong in your power.
Bring up the boy and girl alike
with the understanding that life
is not generally easy; that there
" will be plenty of rough times,
and that what they have te show
. is not a spirit that avoids diffi
culties and flinches from them,
but a spirit , which overcomes
them. Roosevelt.
. During one of hia visits to a
"courthouse, Abraham Lincoln
heard John C. Breckinridge
make, as it seemed to him, a
marvelous speech. It was in
defense of a murderer. After
court adjourned, the tall, awk
ward boy was so carried away
with the speech that he rushed
forward to shake hands with the
great advocate, but the lawyer,
with a sort of contemptuous air,
would not notice him. Many
5' years after he had beaten him
in the race for the presidency,
Iiucoln recalled the circum
stance to Breckinridge, and
thanked him for hia speech.
Hamilton Wright Mabie, in
an address to the students of the
Eastman Business College, said:
1 "If I were a ' young man or a
' young woman going but into
the world to day, I should not
dare to go unless I had given
myself every possible educa
tional opportunity r unless I
had made myself absolutely mas
ter of the thing I wanted to do.
I tell you, to-day, that the trag
edy of modern' life is the trag-
r" A v of the half-educated man or
5 woman. It is tht tragedy of
the manor woman who wants
to do something and can not do
anything welL." , ,
" The following were Abraham
T.innoln'a maxims for longevity:
v "Do not worry ; eat three square
' ' meals a day; say your prayers;
think of your wue; do counts
to your creditors; keep your di--roBimn
rood: steer clear of bil
iousness; exercise; go slow and
easy; maybe . there are other
things that your epecial case re
quires to make you happy, but,
my friend, these, I reckon, wiU
give you a good me.
