Home
There f. music all around
Wheu there - lore at home"

hheL there - love a. home
To cultivate love at home requires more
us really possess. BY skin. We mean to be
able at all times and under all circumstances
to make home cheerful and happy Often
We meet With trials and ve1atiens in our
3sia'y yak through lie, and on our returu
home, after having endured the fatigue aud
disappointments OF our vocations, il requires
all the Ingenuity that We are capable of eIer-
eising to enable US to appear in n eontentsd
frame Of mind, 50 that those about US will not
feel that IN place Of bringing pleasure we cast
q shadow over the household. Patient at all
times With those around US, never to indulge
In unpleasant feeling even if everything does
move along as smoothly as We would desire
How manJ homes are rendered unhappy when
little patience would work wonders, if We
may so speak. Persevere in all thing; sur
mount every difficulty that appears to imE EIDE
our progress, and when those obstacles are
passed we can look backward TO them as so
many stepping stones which lead US onward
in DOR path Of social duty. Parents should
endeavOr 10 instiA useful Knowledge into the
minds OF children; not 30 be select and unso-
cial at their own firesides, aud the lite of
every company they enter. II they have not
mental stores Sufficient for both, let them pro-
vide first for their own household II is a
poor maxim for parents or children to reserve
their social CHARMS for companions abroad
and retain their dullness for home. 1t IL bet
ter that all should be made happy at home
than for them TO seek enjoyment among stran-
gers. 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 impatieuty 10 their children. Need We be
surprised If the child prefers the freedom of
the street TO its homer Friends speak IN
kindly to each other, and, " hen it is too late,
mourn over those husty w0rds which have

tween them. Men, instead Of letting SO many
unkind words pass their lips, shonld remember
that IL is not only at home nor in their place
Of business that kind words should be spoken I;
1t should be everywhere. How much good n
kind word has done! Many a poor opieast
has been reclaimed by kindness. e..
II should teach us to be kind and courteous
10 all. Let us be actuated- By genG.ac lore L.
all our undertakings toward our fellow beings.
And where. let us ask, can We find the love of
home more beautifully deliaeated than i'll the
touching ballad Of J. Howard Payne, an outcast
and wanderer upon the earth2 Even in bis
own loved America. olttimes he has listened
to the delightful strains of music OF which he
himself was the author. scarcely nble to tell
from hence he should obtain his next supply
Of food while his song WIS translated and had
become the fRvoTite household theme of al
most every nation and tongue under the call
opy OF heaven. One by one the words we
u''vi i'' upon 'He MI, hahbB waves thht
strike our ears, and then are gone. There are
some which swell on and on. but are never
lost. So il is with kind words they are like
the dew-dIEop-7-snall they appear, but the
good--whdsau tell? 3D. - s'rg!Ly
Let the mandate given by the Prince of
Peace be needed. Even as the Father loveth
US, so.shOuld we love one another and when
our pilgrimage is over We will be permitted to
sit at the right hand of the Father, and have
the glorious privilege OF enjoying the peace,
happiness and love of our heavenly home
