A Pleasant Picture of Home.

Home, beautiful word, is too often an
ideal, since the real home of our boyhood
rarely answers to the ideal or to our heart;
but this description, by DR.. Holland, seems
drawn from Nature, and breaths the
spirit Of sympathy and lovel
II look into the house of boyhood
again, where the life abides which has
appropriated SO many delightful things,
and finds among them its home. The
hour of evening has come, the lamps are
lighted, and good man in middle life
though very old he seems to me-takes
down the well-worn Bible, and reads o
chapter from its hallowed pages. A sweet
woman sits at his side, with my sleepy
head upon her knee, and brothers and
sisters arc grouped reverently around.
do not understand the words, but | havc
been told that they are the words Of God,
and believe it. The long chapter ends,
and then we all kneel down, and tho good
man prays fall asleep with my head
in the chair, and the next morning re-
member nothing of the way in which
went to bed. After breakfast the Bible
is taken down, and the good man prays
again; and again and again is the worship
repeated through all the days of many
golden years The pleasant converse Of
tho tireside, the simple songs ofhome, the
words of encouragement as bend over
my school-tasks, the kiss as lie down to
rest, the patient bearing with the freaks
of my restless natura, the gentle oounsels
mingled with reproofs and approvals, the
sympathy that meets and assuages every
sorrow and sweetons every little success
all these return to me amid tho RESPONSE
bilitics which press upon INC now, and
feel as if | had once lived in heaven, and
straying, had lost my way.
"The sweetest type of heaven is home
nay heaven itself is the homo for whose
acquisition we are to strive the most
strongly. Homo, in one form and an
other, is tho great object oflife. 1t stands

Style In Writing.

Ben +. Taylor, the accomplished lit
crary editor of the Chicago Evening
Journal, has an article on style, from
which we make few extracts:
A fine word indeed is q treasure, but
its life is latent as it lies there in the
lodges Of the Dictionary; and it is the
privilege of the great masters of style to
summon it to a first resurrection, and it
obeys. Wrought into the close knit armor
of the argument, or laid like tint on the
wing Of the song, we wonder at its
strength or are charmed with its beauty
but restored again to the column where
the photographer placed it, it sparkles
and delights no more. Its meaning is
not gone but its life is; the life that
thought gives it; it stares at you from the
page like dead face; they that look out
at the windows are darkened; Its capabili-
ties are locked up in it like sunlight in a
diamond; and unless thought has use for
it and warns it now and then by wearing
it; if, as has been, a whole nation shrinks
miserably from its frst dimensions, leav-
ing the grand words it has no moro need
of, like pearls and tinted shells along the
shore of receding sea, then it becomes
member of dead language, and
scholars wonder at the splendid fossil
structures that have outlved their build
crs; the noble words that had no noble
things any more in all the land to be
names for; armor for the giants and the
giants all dead. The coral reef remains,
but the coral insect has perished!
A mans style should simply bo his
earnest self in words words not cum
brous as lif he played porter to great
dictionaries, but as if the clothing of
thoughts, worn easily and gracefully
every day.
Talk of stylel Who was it that so
plaintively said, "I am sitting on the
stile, Nary?" Lot there always be an
eye to the spelling Of that word, for had
ne really gained the top of certain other
styles that seem quite the fashion, he
would have never lived to get down
again. 1t is saying none the less
beautiful for being old, "as the little plan
cts are nearest the sun, SO little children
are nearest to God" Why may we not
add, and so little words are nearest the
hearth
