In home lide nothing is so hateful to the children as good advice from father or mother when that advice is contrary to their own habits; they wiil mot bhomor it because they can- not; they are not able to hear words; they are too busy thmking what father and mother do them- selves, and they are influenced by the spiritual forces of the parents inner Life; and that is' what they regard, while they luugh at the counsel.

There was a discouraged, unhappy look in his mother's face, and in his father's eye he could plam- ly see a solemn determination that was not exactly reassuring. "Bobby," began his fatner rorrow- fully, "your mother complains that you have a very bad habit of telhng ties. Don't you know Bobby, that it is very wicket to tell hes!
