To cultivate love at home requires
more skill patience and perseverance
than many Of US really possess. by
skill, we mean to be able at all times
and under all circumstances to make
home cheerful and happy. Often we
meet with trials and vexations In our
daily walks through life, and on our
return home, after having endured the
fatieues and disappointments OF our
vocations, it requires all the ingenuity
that we are capable Of exercising to
enable us to appear In a contented
frame of mind, so that those about us
will not feel that in place Of bringing
Measure we cast a shadow over the
household. Patient at all times with
those around US, never to indulge in
unpleasant feelings even If everything
docs not move along as smoothly as
we would desire. How many homes
arc rendered unhappy when a little
patience would work wonders, If we
may so speak. Persevere in all things,
surmount every difficulty that appears
to impede our progress, and when those
obstacles are passed We can look back
ward to them as so many stepping
stones which lead us onward In our
path Of social duty. Parents should
endeayor to instil useful knowledge
into the minds of children; not to be
select and unsocial at their own fire.

them provide first for their own house
hold. It Is q poor maxim for parents
or children to reserve their social
charms for companions abroad, and
retain their dizziness for home. It Is
better that all should be made happy
at home than for them to seek enjoy
mcnt among strangers. How many
men utter careless words to their wives
and sisters which seem trifling at first!
Such things cast their shadows over the
hitherto happy throng. Mothers speak
harsh or impatiently to their children.
Need VIC be surprised if the child pre-
fers the freedom Of the street to Its
home? Friends speak unkindly to
each other, and, when 1t Is too late,
mourn over those hasty words which
have caused an impossible barrier to
spring up between them. Men, instead
Of letting so many unkind words pass
their lips, should remember that 1t Is
not only ut home nor in their places
Of business that kind words should DO
spoken !; it should be everywhere. How
much good q kind word has done!
Many a poor outcast has been reclaimed
by kindness. It should teach US to be
kind and courteous to all. Let us be
actuated by genuine love in all our
undertakings toward our fellow beings.
Aud where, let Us ask, can We find the
love OF home more beautifully define
a,cd than in the touching ballad Of j.
Howard Payne, MI ou,cast and wan
derer upon the earth? Even in his
own loved America, otttimcs he has
listened to the delightful strains OF
music of which he himself was the
author, scarcely able to tell from
whence he should obtain his next sup
ply of food, while his song was trans
lated and had become the favorite
household theme of almost every ma
ton and tongue under the canopy OF
heaven. One by one the words we
utter fall upon the air, making waves
that strike our ears, and then are gone.
There are some which swell on and OH,
but are never lost. SO it Is with kind
words they are like the dew-drop-
small they appear, but the good-who
can tell?
