kind invitation to visit you in your new quarters
with pleasure before this had not my old enemy,
Mr.. Rheumatism, pounced on me SO suddenly.
He arrived last Friday, and, without stopping to
send up his card, rushed in md grasped me by
the hand with such grip that in . few hours
my hand and wrist were SO badly swollen and
painful that felt as though one Of Mr.. Hatch's
coal teams had run over me. Mr.. Rheumatism
has been constant visitor Of mine for several
years; he always swells and put on great many
airs, making himself at home, devouring my sub
stance and leaving me poor in flesh and pocket:
Last winter he came and stayed two months. !
then decided that the next time he came would
change his diet. / was somewhat at q loss what
to feed him with. but finally concluded to give
him three square meals q day of ST. JACOBS Oil
morning, noon and night This fare he is dis
gusted with, and is packing up his trunk and will
leave by tomorrow or next day; says he cannot
stop any longer, as he has pressing business else
where. He IL q trcacherOus fellow, and he in
tends visiting some of our Salem friends; if he
does, just give him the same fare that 1 did and
he won't stop long. J. s. LEFAvoUR.

The Cultivation OF Good Language in
the Home.

The cultivation of language in the
home circle. and its proper use, are
very essential. The influence of the
home is greater than any other. There
the earliest lessons are taught; there
the earliest Impressions are made upon
the hearts and minds of little ones.
Children are such initiative creatures!
Parents cannot be too careful of tho
examples and influences which surround
them. As soon as q child commences
to lisp its first broken sentences its
education begins. Habits are formed
which will exist to a greater or less de-
gree throughout life. Such being the
case, the conversation of the older
members of the family should be care
fully guarded, lest the little ones hear
and learn ungrammatical expressions
and slang, which. sad to say, is so rife
among our young people of the present
day. The servants, with whom chill
dren spend much of their time, should
be chosen with reference to this matter.
A mother should feel it her duty to
point out any grammatical mistakes
made by them, and insist upon their
language being correct, respectful, and
devoid of slang at all times. 1t is ex-
ceedingly difficult to break children
of habits once formed, and care
in this direction will save much
trouble and annoyance. The other
day mother was complaining that
her little boy would use profane lam
guage. This was . source Of great dis
tress to her. and she lamented to her
acquaintance that she did not know
how it happened, but her friends found
it not so difficult to explain, since the
boys father habitually swore when an
CRY or excited.
One way to cultivate the use of Ian
guage, and st the same time to learn of
the occupations and companions of her
children, il for the mother to encourage
the daily narration Of what they have
seen, heard and enjoyed, and the telling
of their little experiences. The study
OF pictures, moreover, in which every
child delights, may be used as great
provocation of language. Children al
ways love to look at pictures and can
almost always be induced to talk about
them. This study teaches them obser-
walton and how to accurately describe
whatever thoy see.
When stories are read to children
they should be obliged to reproduce
them, using. as far IS possible, the Ian
guage Of the book. The memory is
strengthened in this way, . habit of At
tention formed, and the power Of ex-
preston increased. It such plans as
these are systematically carried out,
they will prove q wonderful help In the
thOrou0h ednoati0n If 4 child Tho
constant, careful teaching and kind
suggestions of parents will accomplish
. work which can never be performed
BY study, and in after years such early
home training will showNitself in . ready
command Of language and an easy, grace
fnl power Of conversation, Exchange.
