The grown man does not know what a strain the anxiety and uncertainty of his father's ventures are to the embryo financier.

Not long ago the father announced to him: "Well, Harold, that man I was telling you of has failed--lost his money--and one thousand dollars of mine have gone with it." The boy's white, set face would have alarmed a more observant man.
"Oh, papa! what shall we do!" "Get along somehow, my boy!" was the unsatisfactory answer.
Then, as the boy sadly and slowly left the room, the man to whom one thousand dollars were no more than one dime to this anxious child, explained, laughingly, to a friend, that "that little fellow was really wonderful; he understood business, and was as much interested in it as a man of forty could be." We fathers and mothers have no right to make our children old before their time.

Each age has its own trials, which are as great as any one person should bear.

We know that the troubles that come to our babies are only baby troubles, but they are as large to them as our griefs are to us.

A promised drive, which does not "materialize," proves as great a disappointment to your tiny girl as the unfulfilled promise of a week in the country would to you, her sensible mother.
