FUS AT HoNE.-Don't be afraid of a little iun
at home, good people, DOs't shut your house
lest the sun should fade your carpets and your
heart, lest a hearty laugh shake down some Of
the musty old cobwebs there If you want TO
ruin your sons, let them think that all mirth
and social enjoyment must be left on the thres
hold without, when they come home evenings
When home is once regarded a. only place
10 eat, drink, and sleep in, the work is begun
that ends in gambling houses and reckless deg
radiation. Young people must have fun and re
taxation somewhere; if they do Rot fnd it al
their own hearthstone, it will be sought at other
and less profitable places. Therefore, let the fire
burn brightly at night, and make the homestead
delightful with all those little arts that parents
so perfectly understand.
Don't repress the buoyant spirits OF your
childsen Halt an hour of merriment round
the lamp and freight OF home, blots out the re
membrance of many care and the best safe
guard they can take with them into the world,
is the influence Of q bright little domestic
sanctum.
