/ BooKLEss HOMES. A dreary place
is a bookless home, young friends see
that in founding a home for your
selves you do not neglect the house
hold library We rejoice in pretty
furniture and artistic pictures; but we
want to see new book sandwiched be-
tween every two purchases, and news
papers and magazines drifting around
so thickly that the very order of the
sitting room is imperilled. We never
knew anything worse than intelligent
sons and daughters to grow out of such
untidiness. To go TO house keeping
without family Bible and an una
bridged dictionary ought to be elected
a criminal offence. Here lies the be
ginning of wisdom. Then we should
add modern history to ancient, poetry
to science, Scott, Thackeray, Dickens,
to theology We should know the
opinions Of the best minds of to-day
upon all questions of social life, Of
philosophy, of agriculture. We have
known famous business men, keen finan-
Ciers, to grow on; OF booklesS homes,
but never the great-hearted and tender
souled. So, parents, remembering this,
glance over your libraries to see if there
be not some vacancy to fill up with a
volume which will add 10 the cheer Of
the windy wintry nights Get for the
boy a book of history or travels; for
the girl a copy of Tennyson, or Long
fellow, or Browning some sweet poet
who sings along the quiet wales of life
in notes we all can understand Try
TO win them to read aloud around the
evening lamp, and most unconsciousiy
their young souls will be drawn out to
follow after those who call-to follow
and sing, and be glad-for great IS the
power of influence.

DURISG these long evenings no class
Of persons should feel more happy
than the young who have good, com
Portable homes. The pleasant iiresides,
the agreeable company, the means Of
enjoyment in books, conversation
games, or in other things equally limo
cent and profitable, should fill them
with a sense Of contentment that rises
into constant gratitude. No evening
need be long in such circumstances
No one should be dreary. Discomfort,
murmuring, fretting, lonesomeness, are
impossible in conditions so fortunate,
unless there is a spirit that is sadly per
verted. Ii is the case, however, that
young men see nothing in such attract
ions to keep them from the street, the
billiard room, the dancing hall, or
some other places no less Objectionable,
and that young women flee away from
such domestic brightness to seek what
their nature Graves in many kinds Of
questionable associations. Many of
them, too, if compelled either by the
authority that is o fer them or by cir
cumstances they cannot control, live in
a state ofhabitual unrest, dull, lanquid,
peevish, d" lonesome, and as miserable
as their unhappy dispositions can make
them. It ought to improve such per
sons to contrast their happy surround
ings with the unattractive ones of their
neighbors, or others of whom they
know. For there are thousands of
homes where brightness rarely comes,
and where, if it DO come at all, it is
but for a brief stay and hasry depart
ure.

Christmas Song.

Ger the hills night shadows steal,
Scarce a light breeze slirs,
See the Virgin mild
Clasp her new born Chi.dl
Round the mane~r shepherds kaeel-
HrmbIe worshippors.
Hank aug Is sing
Round their heavenly King
lis for man, and not for them,
Sleeps The Babe IN Bethlehem
TEou whose head TO earth is loWly
Bow ell in woe and shame,
When no help seems nigh
TO Thy piteous cry,
Think il Was lot for the holy
The Redeemer came.
Hank angels sing
Round Iheir helyesly King
For ear,L's sinful aud d.6lsd
Comes tonight the Saviour Child.
lie who TO the cradle brings
One pute generous thought,
To tile iu'aut there
Brings a gift more rare
Than the gold and myrrh the kings
or the Orient brought.
Hark ! angels sing
Round their heavenly King
It's for man, and not for them.
Sleeps the B Zoe in Bethlehem.

BIC! HACK HACK Why IS it
that men and women will keep a trou-
blesome cough ON hand for weeks, and
even months at a time? Perhaps they
become accustomed to the disagreeable
noise themselves, and yet they ought
to remember that not all are blessed
with the same obtuseness as themselves
AT church, mill or market you can
hear the inevitable hack ! hack hack !
Why not buy bottle of Smiths Cough
Compound and put a stop to such an
annoyance
