When I hear a man Digitized byLjOOQlC 428 DEGRADED TO THE LEVEL OF THE BEASTS. speak contemptuously of his mother I know that either he is a bad man, or his mother was a bad woman. It is impos- sible to speak otherwise than lovingly and with respect of a good mother. Let me say one word that will insult your mother, bring tears to her eyes, or make her cheeks bum with indignation — you will knock me down. Serve me right ! Let me hurt her in person or in feeling, you would trample on me as if I ...were a rat. And yet many a young man is steadily, deliberately, and wilfully breaking bis mother's heart. "Oh no, no, no! that is all wrong," you say, "a young man wilfully does it? " There is not a young man who is breaking the heart of his mother but he knows it; he knows that her face grows paler, the furrows grow deeper, and her hair grows whiter. He knows it, and yet he will go on, though he is conscious that she lies awake at night and wets her pillow with tears, weeping over his way- ward life.
