some christian gentlemen, in most chris

have ruined your credit broken up your
business and forced you into bankruptcy.
Talk about tattle, twas born in the lowest
caves OF hell.
There was false system of ethics which
was running many young clerks in stores.
That employer who asks a young man to
hurt himself for time and for eternity,
who expects him to make wrong entry,
or change an invoice, or say goods cost so
much when they cost less, or impose upon
the verdarCy OF q customer or miSrepre-
sent Il style OF fabric. How dare he de-
mand of you anything so insolent? There
is one
Style of Temptation

and that l. upon those who are engaged in
what is called drumming. Now, that occu.
patton is Just a. honorable as any other. II

and II. Louis through the dch,uCheries OF
that great town, in orlcr to secure their
custom Tor the store. There are in the
stores in New York and Brooklyn drawers

clerks are TO 20 Ia and get whenever they
want to conduct these people through
the Slums OF the city. This goes on until
with pallid cheek and sumkcn eyes the
clerk one morning comes in and is met by
the employers. who says: I'VE have no tut
ther use for YOU. Here's YOUR money
They first stole his health and honor, aud
now that they have Gsed him, kick him
out.
Another big blundcr is
Excessive AmuscmCnts.
He was otgoing 10 "Say anything against
amuSemCntS. Those trees which bnrc no
flowers in spring had no fruit. Ball was
grand Srort, and after tea when the family
were gathered around the tireSide and the

Down again. Here then. let him alone.
And the horses. Nothing surpassed 4
dash over the hills. when the hOofs ring
out as the horse spans the dull earth; or
quiet peaceful drive through shaded lanes
and peaceful villages. And he never saw
Il man 80 out with a fishing rod without
wishing him good luck.
In world where tod sets The stars in the
SKY, when the moon sheds her soft rays
over valley and hilltop, when streams
ripple over the pcbbly brooks and the
flowers make love to each other in the quiet
dell, we know that these things were
meant for our pleasure and enjoyment,
and We could enjoy them in our own way,
with laughter and music, or i'll silence, Tor
silence was only music asleep. He did
not believe in that thing which made a
man. 5 face the counter on which TO measure
religious goods.
Still it was fact that too much amuse-
mCnt was injurious. Many of the clergy
lost their religion in the fox hunts, and
others had it kicked ont by the fayOrite
race horses.
As a principle all those amUSementS are
innocent which do not interfere with busi-
ness, or distract the attention and attec-
tions from the home, and all others were 10
be avoided as not only useless, but wicked.
One Kind Of Home,
But few have a just appreciation OF what
q home should be. We remember avoiding
but a short time since, with the bridal
march and the air scented with orange BIOS

love and cherish each other until death. Now

midnight hour. See the face which greeTS.
What q record of suffering that face pre-
sentS. Then again, when the poison
clutches its victim, see her 20 TO the place
where his ruin was wrought. and opening
the door, stretch forth her trembling, cma-
Ciated arm. and crying out: Give him

Another Kind.
The true home i au earthly paradise. 1t
an unknown, but sweet melody that
charms the heart. HOmel | hear the soft
flow of the meadow brook, the Soug of
birds, the sharp hiss,of the scythe, the Crcak
of the hay rack. Home, Upon that word
the sunshine OF boyhood days comes back.
Home, When sec it in book or paper, |
the word seems 10 rise and sparkle. and |
whisper, and cheer, and weep 1t springs |
like fountain, and tril!S and sings like a |
bird. 1t glitterS like sunset and sings |
like an angel. Ii it were suggested to cast |
this word forth from the earth the children |
would hide it amid their flowers, the |
women would cover it with their jewels, |
md kings with their crowns, and after the |
search had been given up it would flash |
from the flowers, glitter from the jewels and /
end halo TO the crowns, and somewhere |
md always be TO us that sweetest word.
Home! Home, Home,
DiSsgreeable Homes.
Another big blundcr was the formation
u the wrong kind OF domestic relation.
There were thousands of homes in the
'ountry, where you could find men who
we're too Stingy to get drunk. They were
ross, querelOus. and disagreeable, until |
me would think it were better they should
