The Bow and the Father.

"How much more you do for your
than for YOURSELF" said we to
the father one day. Yes" he SAID,
"and do you want to know the reason?
When | was boy on the old hillside
farm, l worked like slave. l was
scantly fed on food that I could not rel
ish. was poorly clad, though my
father was a we'll to-do farmer, and
meant to do right by his children. He
was not conciously unkind; but he save.
ed money for rs mt the expense of our
bodies and souls. | never knew but ono
happy day till l was sixteen years old,
and ran away, and that was'the day my
mother let me go fishing, and got such
II berating from my father for her hardi-
hood in doing the Kindness that I hated
him from that hour until L was tree,
and old enough to know that he meant
well. But, as l lived that hard life, /
said to my. self, and here the eyes of
the stern vissged lawyer filed with
moisture THAT, if ever | became a
man and had children of my own, moth
ing should be two good for them-they
should have good times that 1 hunger
ed for and missed"

Fun at Home,

Don't be afraid of little fun at home
good people! Don't shut up your
house least the sun should fade your
carpets, and your hearts, lest a hearty
laugh shake down some of the musty
old cobwebs there. If You want to ruin
your sons, let them think that al! mirth
and sociaIenioyment must be left atthe
threshliold without. when they come
home at night. When once ut home is
regarded as only place to eat and
drink and sleep in, the work is begun
that ends in gambling houses and reck-
less degradation. Young people must
have fun and relaxation some where; il
they do not find it at their own hearth
stones, they will seek it at some other
aud perhaps less profitable place. There,
fore, let the fire burn brightly at night,
and make the homestead delightful
with all those little arts that parents 80
we'll understand. Don't repress the
buoyant spirits of your children. Hall
an hour of merriment around the lamp
and freight of home blots ont the
remembrance of many a care and an
noyauce during the day: aud the best
safeguard they can take with them into
the world is unseen influence of Q
bright little home sanctum,

What is Life:

A little crib beside bed; little face
beneath the spread; little frock behind
the door; little shoe upon the floor; q
little lad with dark brown hair; little
blue eyed face and fair; little lane
that leads to school; little pencil,
slate and rule; little blithesome, wiu>
some maid: little hand within one laid;
little cottage, acres four; little old>
time fashioned store; little family
gathering round; little turfheaped,
tear dewed mound; little added to the
soil; little rest from hardest toll; lit
tie silver in his hair: little stool and
easy chair; a little night and earth it
gloom; little cortege TO the tomb.
But after all these scenes are past, a
glorious day shall come at last, when
deaths cold captives shall arise. to see
their Judge descend the skies. ooh!
when His glorious see, what shall my
final portion be?" .-ss v...t .st+

Refusing Christ.

A refusal Of Christ is much cashier,
aud yet much more terrible thing than
most men suppose. A neglect to hear
Him is refusal of Him. Christ calls
us every day and every moment; and
when He calls, we either accept or re-
ject Him. There is no possible way OF
escape. There is no neutral ground.
Our lives are continual acception or
rejection of Him. When Christ calls
us to be His disciples, we reach a Won
derful crisis in onr lives. Eternal life
or eterna ldeath is suspended m our decl
sion. The question is continually before
MS. and an answer must be had. 1t is
imperative. A neglector failure to
decide in the affirmative necessitates a
decision in the negative. When our
fellow men present questions of impol"
tance, we give them a respectful hear
ing. Shall we be less repecfful to
God? What astonishing and daring
presumption! pl Men would not brook
many refusals Christ has borne with
MS times without number, but he al,
ways bear thus. There Is point of
forbearance beyond which even God
can't go;and when we consider how often
we have too much already spacing refus'
ed Him, we do not know how soon that
point may he reached. "See that ye
refuse not Him that spaketh.

A Mothers Influence.

The late Thomas III. Benton, who was
so long in public life and surrounded
by temptations, paid the following trib>
ute to his mother: "My mother asked
me never to use tobacco, and I never
touched it from that time to the present
day;she asked me not TO game, and have
not; and cannot tell who is wining and
who is losing in games that can be
played. She admonished me, also,
against hard drinking, and whatever
usefulness may attain in life, I attribe
ute it to having complied with herpious
and correct wishes. When I was seven
years of age she asked me not to drink,
and then made resolution of total
abstinence, and that I have adhered to
it through all the time 1 owe to my
mother" -r----- grE

Bows Wanted.

There are always boys enough in the

use. The kind that are always wanted
are: 1st. Honest; 2nd,l Pare: 5rd. H.

Many of these places of trade and
art are already Allied by boys who lack
some of the most important points, but
they will soon be. vacant. One has au
office where the lad who has the sitna-
ton is losing his first point. He likes
to attead the drinking saloon and the
theatre; this costs more money than be
can afford, bat somehow he manages to

serving point No. one and being truth
full i'll all his ways.
Some situations will soon be vacant
because the boys have been poisoned
by reading bad books, such as they
would not dare to show their fathers,
and would be ashamed to have their
mothers see. The impure thoughts
suggested by these hooks will lead to
vicious acts; the boys will be rn:ned,
and their places must be filled. Who
will be ready for one of these vacancies?
