If you let your daughters grow up idle, perhaps under the mistaken impressiun that as you yourselves have had to work hard they shall know only enjoyment, you are preparing them to be usele.s to others and burdens to themselves. Teach boys and girls alike that they are not to look forward to lives spent In avoiding difficulties but to lives spent in overcoming difficulties. Teach them that work, for themselves and glo for others, is not a curse but a blessing; seek to make them happy, to make them enjoy life, but seek also to make them face life with the steadfast resolution to wrest success from labor and adversity, and to do their whole duty before God and to man. Surely she who can thus train her oni and her daughters ia thrice fortunate among women. There are many good people who are denied tho supreme blessing of children, and for these we have the respect and sympathy always due to those who, from no fault of their own, are dented any of the other great blessings of lite. But the man or woman wno deliberately forgoes these blessing-- , whether from vlelous-nescoldness, or mere failure to appreciate aright tho difference between and tbe unimportant th why, such a creature merits cou-tmas hearty as any upon the soldier who runs away In baitlc, or upon tha man who refuses to work for the support of those dependent upon him, and who though able bodied is yet content to eat iu idleness the bread which others provide. The existence of women of this type forms one of the mo- -t unpleasant and unwholesome features of modern life. If any one la so dim of vision as to fail to see what a thoroughly unlovely creature such' a woman la I wish they would read Judge Robert Grant's novel "Unleavened Bread,' ponder seriously the character of Selma, and think of the fate that would surely overcome any nation which developed it average and typical woman along such lines. Unfortunately it would be untrue to say that this type exists only in American novels. Thst u also exists in American life ia made unpleasantly evident by the statistics as to the dwindling families in some loevident made It is calities. fashion sinister in equally by the census statistics as to divorce, which are fairly appalling; for easy divorce is now as It ever lias been, a bane to any nation, a curse to society, a menace to the home, an Incitement to married unhappiness and to immorality, an evil thing for men and a still more hideous effH tor women. These unpleasant leniencies in our American life are made evident by articles such as those which I actnallv read no long ago in a certain paper, where a clergyman was quoted, seemlnsly with approval, as expressing the general American attitude when he said that the ambition of any save a very rich man should be to rear two children only, so aa to give his children an opportunity to taste a few of the good things of life.
