as attractive as possible. Books, bic.
lures and flowers are an education in
themselves, and more than pay the effort
made to obtain them. By pictures we
do not mean copies of the old masters.
A fine engraving viii CRAFTY the esthetic
taste equally well, and not require the
highest degree of culture to appreciate
it. Artistic temperaments often suffer
for lack of element of beauty in their
surroundings. Not finding it at home
they seek for it elsewhere, and drift away
insensible into forbidden pleasures.
Books and magazines have been placed
within the reach of all. Those who can
not buy them can gain access to them
at the public libraries. We know of no
more delightful way of entertaining the
home circle than by the reading aloud
of works from the standard authors.
Books thus read and discussed are fixed
in the mind, and always remembered
with pleasure for the associations they
recall. 1t is astonishing how gloom and
dependency disappear before the magic
of genius, especially when thought an
swers to Thought in the expressive faces
of the family group.
One other element enters into the true
ideal of home. Music and song must
not be forgotten. At the twilight hour,
before the lights appear, when the cheer
full freight plays over pictures and
familiar faces, seems the fitting time for
the soul of melody to be awakened.

As woman owes her present elevated
position to Christianity, 80 the home
where she reigns supreme is its fitting
exponent. Under the refining influence
of literature and art, the domestic life of
the Greeks and Romans possessed many
ennobling characteristics, but to the
religion OF Jesus Christ we owe the true
ideal of home. The little retreat at
Bethany where Martha served and Mary
sat at the feet of the Master, presents an
attractive picture of home where love
and devotion went hand in hand and the
round Of domestic duties was sweetened
by the presence and approval of the
Lord. Unsanctifed by religion, the
very cornerstone of the household ediGce
is wanting. Who can estimate the in.
6uenoe of q Christian home. Founded
in the fear of God, irradiated by affee-
ton, endeared by every tender emotion,

To come down to the practical view

The B,es.anss OF she BibAs.

The BiessAnEb OF Ghe ktbAes
One of the greatest blessings which the
Bible takes with it everywhere is-a day
once week when the hard worker can
rest and forget that he is beast of
burden and remember that he is man.
Addison wlote of the Sabbath, that it
was "a good institution, because it made
poor people wash and dress themselves
respectfully once week. The Sabbath
was made for man-for man, not as q
shopkeeper, plowman, statesman, but as
9 rational, moral, religious creature. A
great authoress in one of our London
dailies, not long since, pointed out the
contrast between the Christian and the
Moslem, In this respect. He attends the
mosque on his Sabbath Friday, deyont,
perhaps, as tine Christian, but always in
his work.a-day dress-there is no change
of attire, no general rest from labor.
No; the poor Arab, toiling In his one
soiled garment, is never able to say to
himself, 60 i am man, and not beast OF
burden !" but wherever this book goes,
it seems to hush the macbineries OF
everyday life into silence. Man every
where throws aside the tools ands the
seiled garments, by means of which he
earns his daily bread she goes forth after
his weekly sblution and change, refreshed
in soul snd body; and often In his hushed
silence--like john in the Spirit-on the
