To be sure tbey sometimes give ihe moral peace of the family a regular jholera tuorbus twist, but tbc yoiiDg adies very of ten give the moral peacea ihakmg u"p. i'arents are, to a ce.rtain ■xtent as much to blame for this state of afl'airs, as are their children. lhej lo not teach them, espeeially the girls, to cultívate a spirit of belf-reliance and mdependence. They don't teach theto what it means to be thrown on thuir own resources, and what it 'a to earn an lonest living.
