There will be no pain in heaven,
And really want to go.
Angels there will bid nc welcome,
And they are waiting now for me
For they know that am coming

Modest Ways.

Nothing becomes q young girl so
well rs modest Why's. 1t is SO rnortify-
ing to mothers to know that their
daughters act rulely when away from
home. They wonder at it. They are
usually good enough aud lady-I like at
home; but the moment they are out Of
their sight, or the street or on the
way to church, and perhaps in church,
even, loud laughing and talking be-
come the rule. Does it ever occur to
those mothers to give their girls n
gentle warning on leaving the par
entail roof, rs to their manners and
ways?
Says one: IT do not like to be al
ways scolding! | talk to my daugh-
tcrs once in n while, and | expect
that to sufticcss' But mother, if you
had a choice plant, voting tres that
you wished to- bring to perfection,
would you expect it to become perfect
with only IN occasional trimming :?
No-you would be apt TO watch 1t
with great care, trimming it little
every week OF every day, to sec that
no unruly branches put forth to M ar
its beatty. So it is with youth; little
by little is the character formed that
is to govern tbe after lie.
l do not believe in Il rough.and-
rcady scolding. ScolIing, as rule,
has not much force. If one has to
give a stern rebulc, let it be in as few
words as possible. Yet [ think, if
parents take ssccon,! thought, that 4
mild rcproof in most cases would ans

to maturity have naturally free and

And We may even grant that in the

Men, whose habits Of thought and

seldom given tn gnSSiping. They will

the women always the womcn-who

feeble, ignorant hands to the Archi-

Get lie, but merely a dctormcd or

And this makes The fatal danger
