see the way iu which mere children jof both sexes ore allowed to roam around riar streets at all hoursof the day and nighi without let or hindrance from their parents in auy shape or form i always

ing the age of discretion they would become useful members a crown of happiness and comfort to the old folks iu their declining years and not as is too often tho case now- adaysa cause of quickening grey hairs and much sorrow from those to whom they are so greatly indebted but it appears i have been mistaken they say we live in a fast age now that our ways of living our civilization and so forth
