Why cannot people learn that exactly at
home is the very place where all our pa
tience, our good temper, our politeness are
needed the most? Are refined manners
and becoming dress pleasant abroad and
disagreeable at home? If so, then indeed
we may cast aside every trait of civiliza-
ton which distinguishes US from the Digger
Indian, and appear in all our naked saw
agery before the ones who, whether dearest
to us or not, are of a certainty nearest to
us. Experience has proved to every one
of us that it is far harder to live smoothly
each day, than with those whom we meet
but now and then. That machinery which
is in constant use needs constant oiling to
make it work without creaking; or, in
truth, to make it work at all; and the far
more complicated wheels within wheels of
household require all our self-lubrications
of kindliness, gentleness, courtesy, and
good temper, to run their daily round with
out jar. Oh! if we wheels could but re-
member this; could but make our company
manners our home manners; could but prac-
tice bit of our made-up politeness on
tour folks" and neither snub our little
brothers nor scold our little sisters could
but show our own fathers and mothers
somewhat of that respect and Difference we
know SO we'll how to use when it suits US,
l think that old age would not be as dreary
and lonely as it is. There wouldn't be so
much straining backward of aching eyes
after glimpses into the Enchanted Land of
Youth. And old men and women could
look forward and backward with no shadow
of regret for the returnless days of that
golden time. WATCHMAN.
-FOUR correspondent signs for what every
sensible member of we'll ordered family
practices daily. The "Watchman has
been watching some partially civilized
household where plentiful lack of good
sense was the rule, to receive such a gloomy
impression of home life. Alteration and
| nice artificial balancing practiced in society
is often mistaken by weak persons for
politeness. Such shams are never tolerated
in the home circle. Nature reigns supreme
there. 1t would be no advantage to prac-
tice the shams and frauds made use of in
"socety," called good breeding, if it were
even possible, in the home circle. If the
morals are properly cultivated the manners
will always be natural and pleasing as well
at home as in "socety."l
The Public Confidence Well Placed.
Although the world has been seeking specifics
for many centuries, few indeed have been found.
Prominent among these few is Hosetters Stomach Bit
ters which years ago received the endorsement of the
medical profession and ha led by press and public
the great and preventive of the age. And
with good reason, since to the weakened stomach
gives strength, to the torpid liver activity the dsor
