about the pies you make, and the mem

that beautiful day when mother left her
work and went out in the fields to gath

A distinguished knight was once call
ed upon at feast to propose the health
of some lady. He rose and asked his
companions to pledge to one fairer and
more virtuous than any lady they had
named. With hands upon their swords,
his friends sternly demanded the name

their sweethearts and wives. With
look of pride, he gave, "My mother J"

deed, let a child receive its mothers

lOve-love even in their faults, forgiving
even as we hope to be forgiven by our
heavenly Father: and may he accept us

Evening Talks With Mothers.

One more talk together, and then we
must separate, each to walk her individ-
ual path.
How much there is for child to learn !
One great lesson is courage. Who can
tell what terrOrs a timid child endures
How every shadow lifts itself up, a
CHASTITY vision before their eyes; how ev-
cry sound in the darkness of night fills
them with torturing fears Pity the chill
dren who suffer thus, and patiently lead
them to understand what bravery is, and
how they can conquer this feeling if they
will only try; and just tell them for
their encouragement, that it is not those
who have no fear that are the bravest. 1t
is said that some of our greatest generals
have found, when advancing to meet the
enemy, their knees trembling beneath
them. "Shake away, old knees ~ said
a distinguished officer who found him
self in this condition, "yOn'd shake
worse than this if you knew where Pm
going to take you !" .-....
80, no, you're afraid !" said burly
soldier to young comrade, just before a
battle, observing his frightened looks.
Eyes, / am y said the boy, "and if
you were half so much afraid as | am,
you'd runw ...
So, tell the tinnid children how grand
it is to fight against this feeling ofimag-
inary fears, and for humanity's sake, do
not let your servants relate them hob
goblin stories at bedtime. If they must
be told let it be in the morning sun
shine.
When the duties of the first teeth are
finished, and one of them has to be ex-
tracted, don't tell the child it won't hurt,
because you've had teeth taken out, and
you know it does hurt. The confidence
of the child in your truthfulness will
thus be destroyed. Tell the little fellow
it will huIt, but to bear it like man Tor
like womun.) Who couldn't march up
to battery if they knew there was no
enemy at the guns He is the true hero
who knows and feels the danger, but
moves bravely forward. Teach the chill
dreu to be brave. The Spartan mothers
used to say to their sons, when marching
forth to battle, ''return with your shield
or on your shield - and a noble mother
of our own land, standing in a farm
house door of New England homestead
watched her, boy going forth for his
country, and called out, "John, John
DON'T get shot in the back!"
And, mothers, there is another thing
for you to do. Frolie with your children
Leave out that extra group of tuck,
from the little skirt, and have a romp il
