MUuCH 1s said in these days about the want of obedi- ence to parental authority displayed by the rising generation, but an incident in which the contrary spirit was manifested is narrated by a prominent Western lawyer. His twelve-year-old son, a boy of great spirit, but with no overabundance of strength, went to pass a vacation with a cousin who lived on the banks of a broad river, His father, in his parting instructions, placed one restriction upon the boy's amusement during his visit “I don’t want you to go out in your cousin's canoe,” he said firmly. “They are used to the water, but you are not, and you haven't learned to sit still anywhere as yet, You'll be there only a week, and with all the other amusements the boys have, and the horses and dogs, you can afford to let the canoe alone for this time, and keep your mother from worrying all the while you're away."

I told her she would meet with an accident before she was twenty-four years old.” egenide Blatter.
