THE BRAVE AT HOME.
BY II. BUCHANAN READ.

The maid who binds the the warriors sash
With smiles that well her pain dissembles
The white beneath her dropping lash
Zone starry teardrop hangs and trembles
Though Heaven alone reco ras the tear,
And Fame shall never know her story,
Her heort has shed drop as dear.
AS ever dewed the field of glory.
The wife who girds her husbands sword
Mid little ones who weep or wonder,
And bravely speaks the cheering word,
What though he heart is torn asSunder--
Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear
The bolts of war around him rattle,
Hath shed as sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon the plain of battle
The mother who conceals her grief,
While to her breast her son she presses,
Then breathes few brave words and brief
kissing the patriot brow she blesses,
With no one but her secret God
To know the pain that weighs upon her,
Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod
Received on Freedoms field Of honor!

How to Make Homes.

Make your homes pleasant. Have
your houses warm and comfortable Tor
the winter. Do not build a story-and-
a.half house. The half story is simply
an oven IN which, during the summer
you will bake every night, and feel in
the morning as though only the rind oi
yourself was left. Decorate your
rooms, even if you d. so With cheap
engrovlOgs. The cheapest are far better
than none. Haye books, have papers.
and read them. You have more leisure
than The dwellers 10 the city. Beautify
your grounds with plants aud h)Sers
and vines. Have good gardens. Re-
member that everything OF beauty tends
10 the elevation of man. Every LIT lie
morning glory, whose purple bosom is
thrilled with lhe umorous kisses of The
ssh, tends to put a blossom Ia your
heart. Do not judge Of the value OF
everything by the market reports
Every flower about the house certiies
to the refinement OF somebody. Every
vine, climbing, and blossoming, tells Of
love and Joy.
Make your homes comfortable. Do
not middle together in a little room
around . red-hot stoYe, with every win
dow fastened down. Do not live in
this poisoned atmosphere. Have plenty
of warmth. Comfort is health. DO
not imagine anything is unhealthy
simply because it is pleasant. This is
aud old an foolish idea. Let your chill
drsn sleep. Do not drag them from
their beds in the darkness OF night. d o
not compel them 10 associate all that
is tiresome, irksome, and dreadful with
cultivating the soil. In this way you
bring farming into hatred and disrepute.
Treat your children with Infinite kind
ness, treat them as equals. There ia no
happiness in a home not filed with
love. Where the husband hates his
wife, where the wife hates the husband;
where children hate their parents ano
each other, there is a hell upon earth.
