Evenings at Home,

From the Signal.
The long evenings. which follow the
short days, are made in some families the
happiest of all happy times. The cares OF

family throw themselves with zest into
the Innocent pleasure of the home circle.

evenings at home are the strong antidotes
to the practice of looking for enjoyment
abroad, and seeking for pleasure in by
and forbidden places; for relaxation and
recreation will be INDUCED in somewhere
