sidsiniiliniaianale e Father's House.

Mr. Ruskin’s opinion as to a father’s duty to his children is characteristic if not agreeable. “The father,” he says, “should never provide for his chiidren. He should educate and maintain them to the very best of his power till they are of mature age.” ‘Then, whea they gre strong enough, throw them out of the nest as the bird doex.” ‘No fortune,, should be “left to them.” The “nest”’ should always be at their disposwl, “father’s house open,” adds Mr. Raskiv, but “aothing more.” —Ex- chanc é.
