Dear Cycscent-There is no word in our voGabu |
larry more expressive, more gentle more soothing than
Home It is the tasnan, the rcvivfying spell that
braces the heart under its trials to duty Can human
ambition point to higher hope than 1.-THE enjoy
nent of home with our loved ones. The love OF home
has pure and intense influences which will last through
all the scenes Of life. The heart has memories that
never die, and how careful parents should be
that their household gods be virtue, affection and
kindness. Children are qnic1 judges of the feelings
and motives that actuate those who control thenl and
to gain their confidence and love you must act kindly
and uprightly with them. Never in the slightest
thing deceive child, for if they find you ul-
truthful with their little hearts throbbng ut your
kindness, they think truth is unnecessary to you from
them, and thus you lose your influence over them
Have ready sympathy for their little troubles, for all
the trials Of life are us bitter to their little hearts as
to those of age. The impression may not seem 50
dcep but how often has act of injustice to the
child poisoned the whole existence of the man?
Curb temper with firm hand, yet with GOODNESS in
yourself; by your example rather than by precept
show them the good effects of coolness affection and
resolution: never punish in anger for the Indulgence
of passion on your part only shows them that you
yourself cannot enact what you wish from them There
is moral necessity for the punishment OF children
sometimes but let it be done with calm fr1nness,
and rccolcct an ounce of persuasion is ottmcs worth
Il pound of coercion.
Youth is the seed time of life, and it is important
that no weeds are then implanted in the ductle mind
that no habits are imbbed that will cause future PAIN
The slightest riie may then prove the turning point
upon which rests their future destiny Parents should
therefore be doubly guarded.
There should be uneserved communication between
husband and wife where happiness is desired. Sc
crcts kent though of little moment, have the effect
of weakening that implicit confidence which should
exist.
The wife should consult the interest of her hus-
band. Whether the husband provides much or little for
lis household unless the wife takes care of the neom
ines and the ougoings, waste ssoon followed by grim
want. Take Of the pence and the pounds will
take care of themselves said poor Richard and the
truth of this can be testified to by many q family
where the words Oh, It's only ten cents" have re-
suited in want. But while practicing tIugality, be
not penurious and make home uncomfortable. There
is a due medium in all things. See that you observe
that medium.
i A wife should never strive for the last words
woman's failing It's said This has occasionel much
domestic unhappiness. The habit of idle testing ant
having the last word has been petseVcred in until TIT
pride Of being unconquered has come in, and the re
suit has caused more tears to flow than would serve t.
; float q fnll deck manof-war.
Let wives always strive to make home happy t.
their husbands and children. Then they will no
seek outdoor amsemeuts-thc club, tenpin alley am
billiard saloon would have less treQucnters tier
more pains taken to render home place Of rest,
peace Of amusement; genial mirth and ready sympa
thy will attract the most stonyhearted, and the Wit
