their bouyant spirits.. Half an hour of
merriment around the fire at home blots
out the remembrance of many care and
trouble of the day. Children have their
cares and troubles as well as those of
mature years. We should, therefore,
sympathize where we often scold.

admonition be such that twill prove a
talisman for them through life.
BY the cultivation of fruit and flowers
we make our homes much more attrac-
tive, and it requires but little exertion.
Ii we pass house and SEQ o fine orchard
and flowers blooming around the rustic
door, we at once think the inmates of
that house are intelligent, pleasant and
good people, for I can't believe real
mean person will love flowers. Some
may think we have no time to tend them.

or gain time in some way, to cultivate
few if not many. The sight of them is
refreshing. They, too, teach o lesson of
cheerfulness and gratitude. We should
i1culcate the love of flowers in the minds
OF our daughters especially. 1t will not
only add to their pleasure through life,
but will cause them to think mcye of
Him who created them. Let us teach
them that lady or girl admired fer her
beauty, whether it bo artificial or real,
may charm and please for while, but,
like fading rose, is soon forgotten, while
an educated mind, liks the lofty king of
the forest, defes the tempest of years.
Beauty, riches and friends may pass away

child has more or less of talent for it, and
it devolves on us to see that it is cultiva-
ted, for it is resource of pleasure that
will last them their lives, unless they grow
deaf. And, unlike other mortal passions,
it is sure of being gratified in Heaven.

and deeds TO both wife aud children are

Aln,os. any one can be courteous at
neighbours house. II any thing goes
wrong or Is out Of place, or time, or is
disagreeable, there it is made the best of,

excuse it, and show it is not ielt, or il

And this is not only easy, but natural,
at the house of friend. Why NOS so at

"One who causes two blades of grass to

The hand that plants beautiful tree to
give seed and fruit, when the owner is
laid low in the dust, confers public
benefit. How much greater should be
our gratitude to those who cause the
flowers of contentment and love to bloom
