How TO make your Homes most Happy.

y
How seldom we think, when
VIC are at home and enjoy ing our
selves, that this may be the last
day that We will be with our kind
father and mother aud brother and
sister. But wo all know that we
weio born to die, and Whenever
God sees tit to take us. When
we are at home, we ought, each
day, to he striving to make our
homes pleasant for each other. II
we all would try and d. our part,
| maintain that there would be
more happy homes tl,an.there a. q
now. 1t isn't anything, strange,
nowadays, to- hear of families
qnarreling husbands and wives
parting-brothers and sisters sep.
araed from each other; and, par
ents arc again married aud then
step-childrcn are misuscd and
abused as long as they are under
their control. ] don't think it
anything strange that there are
SO many robbers, and, also, muir.
dcrers in the world. l think par
ents have a great deal to answer
for their children. We all know
that children do a great many
things that their patents do not
have anything to do with; but
when people are quarreling and
fighting, l shouldn't think that
they would expect anything else
OF their children but the same
that they taught them. We often
say when children are attending
school there is such Il thing their
teacher has taught them; and if it
isn't anything we think it onght
to be, We will quickly say that the
teacher is not doing his or her
duty. Now, fathers and mothers,
That have children under your
control, do not say that the teach
ers are not doing their duty but
try and fulfill your own calling
which is--''lovo your neighbor as
YOURSELF" and, also, love one
another. What is moro pleasant
than to see a family where they
all seem to enjoy each others com
pany, and seem all to be striving
to make hone pleasant for each
other. l think we all ought to
consider ourselves as one family,
and not say, when we sec neigh
bors or strangers sick or afflicted ,
that we can't help them or do for
them as ne could for one of our
own family; but do all We can for
each other, and consider we are
all one family, and that Adam and
Eye are our parents and We arc
their children, and III this way
we will make the path Of life
pleasant for ourselves aud those
around us.
Strive to make your home most
lovely. Let 1t bc a smiling spot,
where, in sweet content, resting,
care and sorrow are forgot.

The Township OF Ellsworth,

Passing south aud west from the
river we find beautiful farming
lands of beech and maple timber,
which settlers have secured as
homes, here we find the much
talked of"windfall," with scarcely
a green tree upon it ; but now we
are asked is the land good on the

land cannot be at fault for the
winds blowing the timber down,
and as the land remains, it is just
as good as it was before. We

The township affords three
school districts, each Of which has
a school in session, and We be-
lieve good satisfaction is given in
each. Also, We have two very
good Sunday Schools; thus that
