AIake Your Homes Eappy.

What satisfaction i. is for us when we have
reached the years of maturity, and the dark,
thick shadows of care and perplexity at times
enshroud us, to cast our minds back to the
days of our childhood, and think how happy
we were then, and how our parents used to
take delight in making us 30. love TO see the
little ones happy, and to JOIN with them occa-
sionally in their childish sports and merry
games
have two dear little toys of my own, and
my friends often say to me: "Your boys look
the picture of health They jump, play ball,
fly kites ard make them, too; run velocipedes,
and engage in all Chi Itch sports; and love to
see them come in with sparkling eyes and rosy
cheeks, with arms extended for kiss for
mamma, even il their faces are a little dirty.
And hope by -and-by, if they live to be men
grown, they will look back and think of their
mother and the home of their youth, and pray
that the good seed now sown may grow up to
be plentiful harvest then
All mothers should study to make their
homes happy aud cheerful, with music flow
ers, pictures. Birds gold fish and ali those lit
tie ornaments which tend to make our homes
here fascinating and attractive.
My boys are very fond of games, especially
bagatelle. They love to read and to listen TO
their dear old grandmamma when she will tell
them Bible stories and tales OF the Indians.

When Harry Lascar, of Lafayette
Corners, Pa, returned from a days
hunt, he looked IS though he had been
put through threshing machine. He
went to a panther's den, crawled in,
and, drawing bead on the animal,
fred. When he recovered conscious
ness, the panther was tossing him about
like cat does a mouse, and with one
stroke of her paw she sent him head
long outside the cave. Early in the
fight Lascar's rifle was made useless by
breaking the nipple. The animal tore
his face in shreds. With hundred
wounds on his body, and his clothing
torn to ribbons, the old man was we'll
nigh exhausted, when, by an almost
superhuman effort, he reached his hunt
ing knife, and, by weI-directed blow,
quieted the beast.
