Visit Your Parents

Jfevtr allow weather or want of time, or considerations of expense, or convenience, to prevent it, short and often in the same town, or if aL a distance, make it a point now and then to go back to the old home, and talk about old times, and tell what you are doing. They are old now, and very much alone. There are no young people about the house to attract others, and most ot these of thetr own age have passed away; they need some in the loneliness of their homes; every visit of a child is pure happiness, and when the message comes, “They are dead,” your brat regret will be that you had not done more to make them happy, and Co smooth their pathway to their last resting place. The word home, lovely to all, is perhaps never felt in the fullness of its peaceful beauty except by the homeless.
