is the only foundation for a Republic. In
the family virtues are cultured which are a
necessity for the state; and if there be not
enough moral principle TO make the family
adhere, there cannot be enough political
principle 10 make the state adhere No
home, no free institution. No home makes
a nation of Goths and NandalS, makes the
aomads of Central Asia, makes the
numedians of Africa changing from
month to month and from
place to place as the the pasture hap
pens to change. Confoun6ed be al those
modern Babels that propose to overtop and
destroy the family institution. The family
institution is the foundation OF the right
kind of civil government. The same storm
that upsets the boat in which the family
sails will sink the frigate of the COnstitu-
tiOn. Jails, pcnitentaricS armies, naviCs,
are not our chief deiences. The door of the
home is the best fortress, household uten-
sils are our artillery, and the chimneys Of
our homes are the monuments of safetyand
triumph. No home, no republic.

Make your home the brightest place on

DO not always have the blinds turned the
