A Hundred Years Hence.

" All the same a hundred years hence |"
DO you really think soP 1t may be all the
same to you, perhaps, though even that is by
no means certain; but this thing that you
do to-day may have fruit that will work veal
or woe when a century has rolled away IL
is not natural to consider ones unborn great
greatgrandchildreh very much Most of us
think, If we do not say, After US the del
uge.' But whether we care, or do not care,
we may cause those greatgreat-grandchi
dren many tears, or much Joy, by something
that we do or even say to-day. The sins of
the fathers are visited upon the children
through the generations, and so also for
their fathers virtues are the children re-
warded. Life is made of little strands
braided together. Shall we be sure that
the one that is taken up to-day is joined to
no other You choose between Esther and
Helen, and marry one of them. Assuredly
you should have the right of choice, but you
cannot say it will be all the same hundred
years hence. Even the same people will
not be in the world, and therefore the same
deeds will not be done. Besides, what one
does in his own day sometimes influences
all the age. A helping-hand held out when
it was needed to the discouraged inventor,
has sometimes given the world inventions
for which the centuries are thankful. Is it
nothing to us now that our forefathers
signed the Declaration of Independence
When the deeds that are done affect nations
we can understand that it will not be the
same hundred years hence. We do not
understand quite so well that our own char
acters and our own lives are yet influenced
even by the thoughts hidden in the souls of
our progenitors, or that the shadows of any
wicked deed we do may lie across the path
of some innocent man or woman hundred
years hence, when we are ashes.-Seiected.

Home Amusements.

Speaking of games and the relations which
they sustain to the home circle, reminds us
that great many games of skill and chance
are being played in New England homes
to-day which were not known by the Young
folks-or, if known, We're forbidden by pa
rents-ten years ago. Chess, for instance,
within the last ten years has become we
might almost say, popular; and it speaks
well for people when such an intellectual
exercise can become so much in vogue. For
it takes brains to play chess even moder-
ately well, and none but clever and thought
full people would ever like it. Checkers are
not perhaps more universal, but they are
more fashionable. They have fought their
way into high life; and whereas they once
found their friends in the village tavern and
in the farmers Kitchen they are now ad-
Initted into the parlors of the wealthy and
refined. The games played with historical
cards are also numerous aud many of them
pleasantly exciting. And you find them in
almost every household. Now all this is
very pleasant and hopeful. 1t reveals to
the thinker the fact that home life is more
vivacious and happy than it used to be I;
that the long dull evenings are being en-
livened with sprightly and stimulating
amusements, and that the home circle is
charged with attractions which it once sadly
lacked. These games are helping to make
the homes of the country happier, helping
to make the children more contented with
their homes, and in doing this they are help
lug to make the country more intelligent
and more virtuous. BY wise parents these
games are looked upon as God-sends. They
help solve the problem of home amusements
and recreation; aud this, as all parents
know, is one of the gravest problems they
have to solve. Parents, make your home as
happy as you possibly can for your children
and their mates. Fill them with fun and
frolic and the cheerfulness of spirited
social life. Play these games with your
children yourselves, and thus share their
joys with them; and feed your happiness
on the spectacle of theirs. A great many
homes are like the frame of harp that
stands without strings. In form and out
line they suggest music; but no melody
rises from the empty spaces; and thus it
happens that home is unattractive, dreary
aud dull. Let us hope that this introduc-
ton of pleasant games-which try both the
wit and patience of the children, and of the
older ones, too, for that matter-may be-
come the fashion of the time until every
home in the land shall be perfectly furnished
with these accessories of profit and pleasure.
For the children's sake, let the reformation
go on, until every child shall have, in his
fathers house, be it humble or costly, such
appliances and helps for his entertainment
that he shall find his joy under his fathers
roof and in his fathers presence.
"Ione home, sweet sweet home;
Be II ever 50 humble, there Is place like home"

Resisting Termination.

In the warfare of earth, when fortress is
of supreme Importance, it is surrounded by
many lines of defence, each sweeping wider
circle than that which is within it, and the
more resolutely the outermost is defended
the safer ever is the central position. And
it is the same in the conflict Of life, as many
passages of Scripture make abundanty
clear. In the center is the citadel, and on
the flag which waves over its turrets you
may see the words, These things write
unto you that ye sin not" In front of that
there is bastion on whose standard we may
read, Neither be ye partakers of other
mems sins" and farther away still, the
nearest to the enemy and always the first to
be attacked, there is an outwork on whose
banner is eInblazoned this inscription, "Ab-
stain from all appearance of evil" There
the element of tendency comes in. There
the first stand is to be made and he who
hauls down that flag at the bidding of the
tempter has already virtually capitulated,
for " toward Sodom" is ultimately in Sodom.

Woman and the Home.

Dangers to society thicken in these days.
Life even is threatened. Property at times
is imperilled by the torch of the communist.
Trade has lost its ancient integrity, and pat.
riotism and craftsmanship have parted with
much of their former purity aud spirit of
sef-sacrifice. Crime abounds, and justice
has soiled its ermine Widely we feel the
throes of upheaval. Where shall we look
for permanent cure? Some would find it
in military force. But the sword only re-
presses the evil; it does not heal it. 1t
only delays the trouble; it cannot remove
it. The character Of society must be reached
and changed by moral influences at the cen
tire. Ignorance, perversity, error, false the
ores, wrong motives, and corrupt habits of
life, all these thirgs which bring forth bitter
fruit, must be destroyed in the seed. The
gospel alone has this silent, gentle, leaven-
ing power. Wrongs may be best righted
and souls made better by the light of Chris
tian sympathy and love- and through the
exercise of righteousness and justice and
truth, in the fountain-head of society-the
Christian home. 1t is, in large sense, the
work of woman.-Sermon by Rer. C. L.
Goodei, DID,, 81. Louis.

A Good Old Fashion.

If the neighbors would do as people used
to do, there need be no suffering in any
neighborhood. Before the war, we knew a
widow having seven little children, who had
not one dollar left her, nor any property.
Her husband died in poverty, having been
the victim of speculation. The neighbors
met and prepared wood enough to supply
her wants all winter, and they furnished her
provisions in sufficient quantities to feed
her little ones all they needed, besides cloth
ing them well. One neighbor took her a
nam, and another bushe of meal another
a sack OF flour, another jar of lard, another
a sack of sugar with a quantity of coffee,
another few yards of calico, and so on
until she had all that she needed; and no
one missed what had been given. This wo-
man worked ahead, and brought up her sons
and daughters to be loved and respected by
all. They are now the husbands and wives
OF the sons and daughters of the men who
helped the widow. We love a humanity
that cares for the suffering sons and daugh.
ters of men. Let no widow whose husband
died for the country suffer this winter
nor, indeed, should any one else suffer for
the necessaries of life in this goodly land of
ours. Let us divide with one another

Bridging the Bloody Chasm.

touching scene was witnessed at this
place on last Wednesday while Judge Marks
was speaking. Referring to the war, he
said d" see before me my gallant friend,
Colonel Byrd. During the late unhappy re-
bellion he was on one side, fighting for what
he thought to be right; | was on the other,
fighting for what | thought to be right.
This calls to my mind an old man in Vir-
ginia, who had two boys. The elder fell
marching beneath the stars and stripes, the
younger battling for the lost cause. After
the war the old man gathered up their
bones, brought them home and laid them
side by side in one grave. Above them he
erected single shaft, on one side of which
was inscribed: Sacred to the memory of
my eldest son, who fell fighting for the stars
and stripes On the opposite side was in
scribed: Sacred to the memory of my
youngest son, who fell fighting for the lost
cause Higher up, in the centre, in bold
characters, was this inscription God
knows who was right High above this
was snow white banner, on the folds of
which were written by an invisible hand: {:
God knows who was right The old man
there erected platform long enough, broad
and strong enough for the whole American
people, both north and south, TO stand upon.
And upon this platform to-day, Colonel
Byrd advancing toward him), forgetting
the past, allow me to shake you by the
hand as a brother" Colonel Byrd here
arose and advanced to meet him, and the
two brave soldiers joined hands amid the
deafening applause of the SPECTATORS
