So she unbuckled its collar and let it

turned her back, than she heard great
clucking from her poultry. Looking
around, she saw the fox scampering off
with her plump red pullet thrown over
his shoulder.

Home Influence.

1t was Napoleon who said that the
character and fate of the child was the
work of the mother. Largely this is
true, though not in sense to exclude
the influence of the father, especially
in the case of boys. The child is often
left to the mothers care. A double
duty is hers; to that which God gave is
added that which man shifted upon
her, and with her rests the whole work
of preparing her child for the grave
encounters of life. In how many
homes does a mothers intercourse
with her children alternate between
caressing indulgence and pettish fault
findingp In how many are the bodies
pampered and dressed, children re-
duced to mere ornaments to crafty
paternal vanity, while the affections
are thwarted, and all the highest pos
sibilities of the mind either uncultured
or repulsed, Girlhood and boyhood
pass, the old home is left, and the new
begun away from old scenes and asso-
Citations, restrained no longer, but al
together free, still you trace childhood
influences. When your boy steps into
the street he opens all the doors Of his
home; he carries out photograph of
his parents to be seen of their neigh
bors. When the little girl goes into
the next house she carries the domestic
newspaper abroad. Dear reader, is
