SENSIBLE ADVICE.

a distinguished writer says Of the

The daughter should share all her
secrets with 8flier, mother. Many

come to many a household because
the mother was too busy or too care
less to keep herself in constant sym
pathy with her daughters. The same
is true of father and son. The youlg
man who spends his evenings from
home, and feels that it would be rob
hing him of his manly independence
if he should tell where he goes, is
banking against every interest in the
future. Fathers and mothers should
never allow themselves to grow SO. old
that they are not interested in all
that interests their children and
their young people. Home comforts
and home amusemcuts, and the best
society of young people should be
sought with more care than choice in.

INDIFFERENCE AMONG CHRISTIANS

indifference to religious truth and
knowledge is too prevalent. In many
families of processing Christians
there is very little, if any, religious
reading; works of fiction and the
superficial secular press occupy its
place. Hence among the younger
members Of the family, we find i'm
patience Of religious restraints. We
see the torrent OF wOrldincsS sweep
ing away communion with God in
the closet, bearing down the family
altar in its course, and in its eddics
and whirlpools drowning the spirit
Of devotion and watchfulness that
should always characterize the
Christian in his business, conduct
and thoughts. No longer appear
the possession and manifestation of
mcckncss, humility and love; no
interest for the salvation of men, of
friends, members Of the household,
acquaintanccs, associates, nciyhbors.
y supreme scltishncss, unmindful of
God grace and eternity, has undis-
tnrhcd possession of the soul. What
shall be the end thereof?

USEFUL. lNFORMAT1ON-It we had a
house with a red room ON the first
floor, we would at once abol fish the
use of that room as a sleeping apart
ment, because we are satisfied that it
is wrong custom, it being much
healthier to sleep up stairs. Many a
family, OF which the members were
suffering and weak in general has
been restored to a vigorous and
healthy condition by following our
advice which was to remove their bed
room up stairs; to have their beds,
summer and winter, exposed all day
to the fresh air from the open winds
ows-except, Of course, when there is
rain or misl-and also have, during
the whole nj ght one window partially
open, even in winter, 50 as to always
'nhale the fresh cool air from the out
side, but using at the same time pre-
caution to have sufficient bedcovcr-
