Practical Ideas.

To be good housekeeper requires educa-
ton and practice but if a woman's heart
is in the work she will soon learn, if neces-
sity places the duty before her.
When the comfort and prosperity Of a
loved husband renders it necessary to econ
omize and live TO the best advantage with
small means, devoted wife will turn her
thought and care to the duties of her home.
The help of a good, careful, prudent
housekeeper, enables man to advance his
business prospects more than any thing else
| q woman can do
The superficial accomplishments Of a
to practical education in all that pertains
to making home attractive, and sensible men
know it.
1t is very imposing to witness the majes-
tic sweep of yards upon yards of expensive
silk founces and laces into parlor, but,
young man, it requires large income to
support so much style
1t is delightful to talk with young lady
who knows French, and all latest novels,
and to have divine creature dispense her
best skirmishes of firing with her eyes,
snlles and fan, but, young man, there OFT
is but little heart or sincerity in such prac.
ticed charms. A girl who has only COM
mon school education and the accomplish
ments taught her by loving mother, of
cooking and all other domestic duties, will
be more likely to make you good wife.
She may not have the most polished ad
dress. She may not be able to entangle
you with battalions of arts AMI wiles with
which petted fashionable belle surrounds
and captures beaux, but she will prize the
love of an honest heart more; and in truth
ard sincerity devote her life to requiting
the love and kindness given her.
| Hyour income be only a few hundred q
year, a fashionable devotee of style and heart
smashing will in few years fret herself in
to miserable disconnected wretch, and be {
dead weight upon you while fresh heart
ed, domestic girl will develop into bloom
ing matronly woman of sense and response

RIGHT AND WRoNe.,-How hard it is to
do right. how easy to do wrong! To 60 to-
ward destruction is to float down with the
tide. When man is going to the devil.
how many boon companions will lead him
onward, and how pleasant they will be !
How few are the warning voices which will
break upon his ear But let him turn into
the better way and steep hill is before him
and the way is narrow and very rough al
the start. He misses the social sympathy
he once enjoyed. Those who should say to
him. Good bless you,' are somehow not al
cordial as his sinful companions were Per
haps they regard him with suspicion, ane
now the memory Of his past life rises up to
discourage him. Hard is the path which
leads from darkness into light,

A BIT OF SERMON

EOT CuO OuAS COVACs
A BIT OF SERMON
Whatsoever you find to do,
Do it, boys, with all your might
Never be little true,
Or a little in the right.
Trifes even
Lead to Heaven,
Trifes make the life of man
So in all things,
Great or small things,
Be as thorough as you can.
Let no speck the surface dim
Spotless truth and honor bright
I'd not give fig for him
Who says any lie is white
He who falters,
Twists or alters,
Little atoms when we speak,
May deceive me,
But believe me,
To himself he is sneak
Help the weak ify0u are stroug,
Love tho old as you AFRO young
Own fault, you are wrong,
you're angry, hold your tongue,
In each duty,
~. s Lies beauty,
If your eyes you do not shut:
Just as surely,
And securely,
AS kernel in nut
Love with all your heart and soul,
Love with eye and ear and touch;
That's the moral of the whole,
You can never love too much
IT'S the glory
Of the story
In our babyhood begun,
Our hearts without it,
Never doubt it,
Are as worlds without sun
If you think word would please,
Say it, if it is but true
Words may give delight with ease,
When no act is asked from you.
Words may often
Soothe and soften,
Gid a joy or heal a pain,
They are treasures
Yielding pleasures
1t is wicked to retain
Whatsoever you find to do,
Do it then, with all your might
Let your prayers be strong and true
Prayer, my lads, will keep you right.
Pray in all things,
Great and small things,
Like Christian gentleman;
And forever,
Now or never,
Be as thorough as you can.

A Mothers Power.

A moments work on clay tells more thar
an hours labor on brick. So work on hearts
should be done before they harden. Dur
ing the first six or eight years of child lii.
mothers have chief sway; and this is the
time to make the deepest and most endu
ring impression on the human mind.
The examples of maternal influence are
countless. Solomon himself records the
words Of wisdom that fell from mothers
lips, and Timothy was taught the Scriptures
from a child by his grandmother and his
mother.
John Randolph, Of Roanoke, used to say:
Il should have been French atheist we're
it not for the recollection of the time when
my departed mother used to take my little
hands in hers and make me say on my bend
ed knees, Our Father who art in Heaven" "
IT have found out what made you the man
you are" said a gentleman one morning to
President Adams, Il have been reading
your mothers letters to her SON."
Washington's mother trained her boy to
truthfulness and virtue and when his mes.
senger called to tell her that her son was
raised to the highest station in nations gift,
she could say: George always was good
boy" A mothers tears dropped on the
head of her little boy on5 1aRing as he sat
in tho tho doorva I: and Iiste bile she spoke
s'Those tears made me a missionary"
said he, when he had given his manhood's
prime to the service of the Lord
Some one asked Napoleon what was the
great need of the French nation.
"Mothers p was the significant answer.
Woman, has God given you the privileges
and responsibilities of motherhood ? Be
faithful. then, to the little ones. You hold
the key of their hearts now. If you once
lose it you would give the world to win it
back. Use your opportunities before they
pass.
And remember, little ones, you never
will have but one mother. Obey and honor
her Listen to her words. and God will
bless you day by day.-The Christian.
