THE MONKEY, it is said, has two young ones at each birth. The

　　Mother fondles one and nurtures1 it with the greatest affection

　　and care, but hates and neglects the other. It happened once

　　that the young one which was caressed2 and loved was smothered3 by

　　the too great affection of the Mother, while the despised one was

　　nurtured and reared in spite of the neglect to which it was

　　exposed.

　　The best intentions will not always ensure success.
