The Sense of Honor in Boys.

There is great confusion in boys no.
tions of honor. You should not go to
the teacher with tales OF your school
mates, but when questioned by those in
authority over you, parents, guardians,
or teachers, it is your duty to tell who
did mischief or broke rule, no mat
ter what results to yourself, or how I'M
popular you become.
Boys have.a false honor which hides
mean and skulking actions in each other,
which ought to be ridiculed out of them.
The most cowardly injuries and injustice
among boys go unchecked, and the weak
er are abused and bullied in way every
decent boy should resent, because this
false notion of comradeship leads them
to lie, prevaricate, or keep silence, to
screen the guilty.
Teachers and friends ought to put
down this Ignorant, petty "sense of hon
or" for something more intelligent and
upright. When. you know of a wrong,
and keep silence about it when asked,
you become partner in the wrong, and
responsible for its original meanness. 1t
is pity that boys and grown people do
not carry the same strotness of princip' e
they show in screening DULLES and frauds
into points of genuine honor and courage.

OId-Fashioned Mothers.

Thank God, says correspondent, some
Of US have an old-fashioned mother. Not
woman of the period, enamelled and
painted, with her great chignon, her curls
and hustle, whose white, jeweled hands
never felt the clasp of baby fingers; but
a dear, old-fashioned, sweet-voiced moth
er, with eyes in whose clear depth the
love-light shines, and brown hair lust
threaded with silver, lying smooth u pom
her faded cheek These dear hands,
worn with toll, gently guided our totter-
ing steps in childhood, and smoothed our
pillow in sickness, ever reaching out to
US In yearning tenderness. Blessed is
the memory of an old-fashioned mother.
1t floats to us now like the beautiful
perfume of some wooded blossoms. The
music of other voices may be lost, but
the enhancing memory of hers will echo
in our souls forever. Other faces may
fade away and be forgotten, but hers will
shine on. When in the ftful pauses of
busy life our feet wander back to the old
homestead, and crossing the well-worn
threshold, stand once more in the room
so hallowed by her presence, how the
feeling of childhood, innocence, and de-
pendence comes over us, and we kneel
down in the molten sunshine streaming
through the open window-just where
long years ago we knelt by our mothers
knee, hsping Our Father" How many
times when he'tempter lured us on, has
the memory of those sacred hours, that
mothers words, her faith and prayers,
saved US from plunging into the deep
abyss of sin. Years have filled great
drifts between her and us, but they have
not hidden from our sight the glory of
her pure, unselfsh love.-Erchonqe

some flowers in pots and some in beds,
Just like the gardener, and then you can

spade on his shoulder. But when, after
an hour, mamma went to see how he was
getting on, she found him lying on the
grass with the ground untouched.
Well, jamie, where is your garden ?"
I was just lying here and thinking
how nice it will look when it is all done, !"
