How to Keep Boys at Home.

Amuse your boys if you wish to keep them at home. Play whist with them ''What 7" hear some enc of you say, Why, 1 am a member of Dr. So and-sos church." Well. let him go to the dogs for once let your church go to the dogs, and save your boy from going. When was young man at college there was a deacons son there at the same time, and he told me he learned to play ''old sledge' on the hay-m when his father was reading com mentaries. It is fact, and not matter of laughter, and that same young man died drunkard and a gambler. He lived in the Con- necticut Valley, and 1 could give you his fath- CTS name if 1 was so disposed. Bob" told me more than 6 dozen times if his father had only played some kind of game with him-..if he had only been human with me, Deacon Murrao," said he, '1 should have been church member just as you are" want you to un- derstand was deacon then. 1 think Bob was right. So say to you play whist with your boys, play dominoes or checkers-in fact. any, pleasant, healthy game. Read poetry with them, for boys like poetry if not read bear stories. Get him to read to you ; and here let me say that this is one of the best possible ways to keep your boys at home, and one Of the most beneficial in it's effect Teach them to feel that you are dependent upon them for company. So say to you make your home happy in way that boys like, and not in the way that some cnurcneS nke. Boys are worth more than church forms, for boys are germs of angels, or else they are the seeds out of which devils spring. If felt that my boy would eat peanuts in church, that he would go to sleep because he was not interested, should spend .one-haf of the day under the hedges or by some running spring. should preach to that boy in way that would make him forget his peanuts and sleeping in church. The running spring should remind him of that fountain of living water which flows from the throne of God. If there was bit of sea, it should re- mind him of that sea ofcrystal before the throne of God. If there was an empty acorn, it should remind him of the temple of clay out of which the spirit has departed. All things should be a service to God The fields and the skies should be the church, and that boy should be made follower of Christ in that way because he is best adapted to that kind of service. " II. H. Murray.

When one of Architect Mullet's buildings falls down he goes to the ruins examines the chaos of masonry very critically, and says they might have known that one coat of whitewash wasn't strong enough to hold up to heavy a wall as that why in thunder didn't the idiots know enough 50 put on more whitewash9

Talk about female curiosity-it's all one sid ed. Let one man stop on the street to spell out sign on the top of high building, and every other mothers son that goes by will stand still and stare for ten minutes trying to make out what the first idiot is looking at.
