lioAE CouRTESIEs In the home intercourse
it should be remembered that each one has his
place and hls part \ happy and pleasant home
Is an ImpoSsib'ity where any one sights his
duty. iiomc II NOT place where you are to
cosset your own iancies, or to be entertained by
the rest. You have M right to SIT down, llslless
and dHli and say. - Come, amuse me and see
how pleasant yOu can make home. You have no
right to complain that home is ungenal, TIL
you are sure that you have tried your bes. TO
make 1t genial The men who complain of
homes are mostly those Of whom the homes
complain, men whose dignity is offended at the
bare suggestion that they have something 10
do toward making it pleasant.
Home is noJ IA mere place Of entertainment,
sort of tavern and he who turns to il for enter
tainment merely deserves to be disappointed
Hast thou nothing to do, o man but 10 throw
thyself upon a sofa, or mOnopolize the easiest
chair, and, holding back all thine own nIofma.
tlon, demand that wife and children amuse
thee or wilt thou 20 moodily out TO club or
store, declaring that thou wilt not stay where
so little is done for thee
And shall the young man say, " NJ sisters do
nothing to make home pleasant to me, when
he has done nothing to make home pleasant to
them | do not think the different members
OF home realize how much the pleasant, profit.
able intercourse of home depends on each, or
how hard It is when one and another hang back
for the rest to supply the defciency,-Rer +.

gander looking Yankee, who, on seeing the priest,
thrust his hands into the very depths of his
breeches pocket, as it in search Of coin. The
priest, observing his movements, advanced as
usual, while jonathan, holding forth greasy
looking roll OF paper. commenced deliberately
unfolding it. The old priest now Anticipated,

of dirty paper, and produced Junk Of tri-

When this was done, he stepped forward and
