Editor Star:-Instead of ballot box collec-

suggest collections through the mail boxes of
our city: Let the postmaster take charge of
the matter, direct the carriers to collect the
some one to receive and remit the amount
thus collected, aid publish receipts daily in
the papers. In consideration of the extra
Gale and labor thus imposed ON the carriers,
omit one delivery each day, as was done in
the heated term.
As the letter boxes are more accessible to
all than ballot boxes, (of which our District
has none.) in public places and are more
sccule against theft, think other cities might
advantage ously employ their letter boxes also.

Evenings at Home.

The long evenings which follow the short
days are made, in some families, the hap
piest of all happy times. The cares of the
day are ended, the mothers resting time
is come: the father has dropped all sorts
OF business worries and perplexities; and
the whole family throw themselves with
zest into the innocent pleasures of the
home circle.
Solomon tells us that there is time for
all things; time to weep, time to laugh,
play and dance comes most appropriately
IN the long, pleasant evening hours.
1t is well for the women of the house
hold to remember that the pleasant even
ings at home are strong antidotes to the
practice OF looking for enjoyment abroad,
and seeking for pleasure in forbidden
places; for relaxation and recreation will
be INDUCED in somehow by most men, and
happy are they who find in the home circle
the diversion they need.
A lively game, an interesting book read
aloud, or in musical families new song
to be practiced, will furnish pastime that,
will make an evening pass pleasantly.
title forethought during the day. a little
pulling OF wires that need not appear. will
make the whole thing easy, and different
ways and means may be provided for make

a time to be looked forward to with Meas

We visited once in large family, where
it was the duty of each sister in turn to
