How much of that which is, wisely or well? In the very centre and chief garden of Europe where the two forms of parent Christianity have had their fortresses where the noble Catholics of the Forest Cantons, and the noble Protestants of the Vaudois valleys, have maintained, for dateless ages, their faiths and liberties there the unchecked Alpine rivers yet run wild in devastation; and the marshes, which a few hundred men could redeem with a year's labour, still blast their helpless inhabitants into fevered idiotism.

To whom should a daughter give from her superfluities but to a parent? from whom should a parent receive, but from a child, who can never repay his love? Ah, this is nothing; but you you who have never crossed her lightest whim do not you destroy all the hopes of happiness your Florence can ever form."

If it is in your power to be the parent of beautiful, healthy, moral and talented children instead of diseased and depraved, is it not your imperious duty then, to impart to them that physical power, moral perfection, and intellectual capability, which shall ennoble their lives and make them good people and good citizens?

Some of the British prisoners were put to work on the sewage farm of Berlin but we succeeded in getting them sent back to their parent camp. The prisoners of war were often accused of various breaches of discipline and crimes.
