The PLEASURES OF HoME.-As the nights
grow longer, and the weather becomes colder,
the home circle becomes more attractive. The
family gathering of old and young, boys and
girls, father and mother, brother and sister
around the hearth to chat and enjoy the rela-
ting of some marvellous story, or, perhaps,
something more instructive; or around the cen
ire table to read some pleasing instructive
book; or enjoy some sportive or instructive
game or amusement. Such can now be made
the attractions of the season. Heads Of iami-
lies should see that the requisite arrangements
are afforded the rising generation. These pleas
ures are innocent and can be made profitable,
and they will ween them away from the haunts
and allurements of vice that are sure to pro-
vide that same demand for pleasure and en-
ployment if not supplied at home. Corner
lounging and street loafng will become less at
tractive with all its evil accom- animeDts.-
Club rooms will not be in so great demand for
the entertainment of those who never knew
how to enjoy the pleasures of a pleasant home

tages of the formation of the habit OF reading.

are to the young just forming character pearls
of great value; they should be priced above
gold or gems. The poet truly says:
GAS the twig is bent so is the tree inclined"
So the youth is trained sothe manorwoman
is inclined The future character of man de-
ponds on his training in youth. If the mental
and moral character of youth is cultivated they
will keep growing stronger by such training,
until they will become moral and intellectual
men and women. But introduce them into the
school of vice, and there train their lower ma
ture-the animal passions-and youth in this
school will become vicious, depraved and i'm
moral, and fit subjects for the police to look af
ter-dishonest and unreliable. As youth is
trained so they will be in manhood.
How careful fathers and mothers should be
of their boys and girls, if they care for their
character, their usefulness to society and to
themselves. The family circle is the place to
begin. Home, sweet home, makes lasting, liv-
ing impressions never to be erased from the
memories Of youth and old age. We must be
gin right we must provide the essentials of
such pleasures. Give your children plenty OF
good books and attractive amusements. Hang
your walls with attractive, tasty pictures
Make home refined and attractive, and, depend
on it, it will pay back all you expended to ac-
complish it.-Er.
