Volume 5 — Mother’s Advice.

What do you like best, my little reader? Pies, pears, plums, peaches, cake, or custards? You like all these things—but let me tell you, there is a thing of more value than all these; and that is—your mother’s advice.

If then a mother’s advice or counsel is of such importance, why do children care so little about it—nay, why do they so often dislike it? Tell me that, my young reader—tell me that!
