tome a sweet and loving chord
Joining kindred souls in heayen.o

AN. me! | fear that often we do not think
50 Mighty of our homes as we ought. We
einoelilsh the walls with pictures and many
iittle eleganciesfashioned by our own hands,
saying we want something of ourselves in
our homes but do We think always to en-
pelllsh our faces with a CHEEKY smile, to light
our eyes with a kindly look, and to let ONLY
gentle words flow from our lips? Do we
catch the hasty word before it escapes our
ups, remembering that's "soft answerturn-
eth away wrath?" Do we always use our most
pleasant manners before the home folks?
Is it not better to have the respect and admi-
ration Of those by whom we are daily SUR
rounded, who have to bear with our faults
and@fallings, and who, above all, love us
Is it not better I say than the passing admit
ration OF the multitude who cares not for ne
at all? In a true home each member helps
to bear the others burdens, and so in bless
ing, being blest.
And, SO all can have a home, though we
may not all have many acres of land or
many thousands in money yet we can have
a home if w are only surrounded by love.
Hearts and homes, sweet words of pleasure,
Music breathing as We fall, AZ
Making each the others treasure, E QGj
Once divided, losing all. t.
Homes We may be high or lowly,
Hearts alone can make you holy;
Be the dwelling Ger SO small,
Having love, it boasteth all.
Hearts and homes, sweet words revealing
Almost good and fair to see,
Fitting sllrines for purest feeling,
Temples meet to bend the knee;
Infant hands bright garlands wreathing, n.
Happy voices increase breathing;
Emblems fair of realms above,
Love. is heaven and heaven is love-

selves highly pleased with the manner in
which they We're entertained by Rowell &
Co., and state that among their many pleas
ant experiences that of finding the ROCKY
MOUNTAIN HusBANDMAN and other Terri
torial papers, so far away from home, was
not the least. We quote the following:
"The special correspondent of the London
Times says it would be difficult to find an
apter illustration of. the big way in which
the Americans do things than that furnished
by the Centennial Newspaper Building
in the Exhibition grounds. Here you may
see any one, or, if you like, all of the s,129
newspapers published regularly in the
United States, and see them. one and all for
nothing! You are not only permitted as a
favor to see them, but invited, nay, pressed
to confer the favor of entering the building
and calling for what paper you like. It is
about as cool and agreeable a place-quite
apart from its literary attractions-as a Wis
itor to the Exhibition could wish to be Of
fered q chair in. He may at first wonder
how, among 5000 papers, among them such
mighty sheets as the New York Herald, he
is to get at the small, loved print Of his home,
thousands Of miles away, it may be, over
the Rocky Mountains. But the manage
ment is SO simple that, by consulting the
catalogue, or ever without the aid Of the
catalogue, any one can at once find what
ever paper he wants. They are pigeon
holed on shelves in the alphabetical order
of their States or Territories and their towns,
the names of which are clearly labelled on
the shelves. The proprietors Of the Centen-
tennial Newspaper Building are advertising
agents, the largest in all America-Messrs.
G.P. Rowell & Co., Of New York. Their
enterprise will cost altogether about $780, 900,
or $4,000, including the buildings and the
expenses of running it for six months. The
5000 and odd American newspapers are de
clared, by the same authority, to exceed
the combined issues of all the other nations
of the earth"

There is no wisdom save in truth.
To be blessed with happiness we must
be beantitied with holiness.
That which makes death SO dreadful is-
the consciousness Of sin and the fear Of dam
nation.-Heu5ner.
A house uninhabited soon comes to rum.
and a soul uninhabited by the Holy Spirit
of God yerges faster and faster to destruc-
ton.
Every abstract truth, if practically APP
piled, is brought home to human under
standing by action and observation, and 50
the human understanding is led on
to misunderstanding.
In contemplation, as well as in action.
we must distinguish between what is at
tainment and what is not failing this, we
can accomplish little either in life or knoWl-e
edge.
We shall find difficulties III all great en-
terprises il we are sure we have begun
them from God, we may securely cast all
events upon his providence, which knows
how to dispose and how to end them.-BisA-

Mrs. w. ii. f. Lee, daughter-inlaw Of

the handsomest lady in Virginia. 5ssA
Queen Victoria's speech said nothing so
very gracefully that it is a pity she can't

Edith May, the Survivor of the Mohawk

When a Saratoga lady called her son to

lapel of his coat, he explained that his girl

TEE FOOTPRINTS or TINE.

Wrinkles are the first t~ell-tales of a lost
youth, and the wrinkles make their way in a
very stealtly manner. At first there comes
the faint marking OF one little line about the
corner of the EYE, and one at each side of
the mouth. Assuredly it is the sign of APP
preaching age, we say complacently, look
ing at ourselves in the glass, conscious of
our attractions in the perfection Of hair.
That little line, Indicative OF tie narrowed
future, is no more age than the scarlet leaf
of the maple in the midst of the green wood
III autumn. 1t is the shadow of the herald
ifyou will it is not the real thing. And so
on with all the rest. But it is not so with
our friends. The gap made between the
past and present by years of absence is alb
rupt unexpected. You left a blooming,
sleek-haired, slim-Wasted girl; you find a
faded, hollow-eyed, gray-headed woman, the
mother Of children, afflicted. with bad health
and tired of life. Or you encounter a stout
and ford matron whose bulk is a burden to
herself and a matter not for admiration to
her friends whose early shyness has worn
off and given place to a free and easy, good
nature that may be genial but is vulgar;
whose girlish sentimentality has gone with
her bushes, and who now openly proclaims
her devotion to champagne and lobster salad
as among the few things in life worth TAX
ing trouble for, and talks of the pleasures of
the palate as superior, to every other enjoy.

minds eye the superfluous layers of flesh,
you can make out the nose of the past, and
the lips have the same curve as hers had. in.
the days when o would have given a
months salary for a kiss; the eyes OF the
same color, but what has become of their
sparkle?. Where is that rougish twinkle
that made our heart leap when il flashed up
on you, giving point toea girlish sauciness
that was SO innocent and she thought was
s~osnaughty? Where is that deWy downcast
look that was so conscious where there was
nothing to blush FOR? Is it that ugly leer
which tells us of less tenderness OF senti-
ment than you would like to see even in a
man.? You must accept this as the sur
svival - it is all that you will have OF the
sweetness, the b~ashfulness, that once seemed
to YOU the most exquisite grace on earth.
