Our Home-The boys Room.
rom Rural New Yorker.

ouE F1Ouae-AAe BOY s lIOOn.
From Rural New Yorker.
Beautiful homes are now seen, where
forty years ago stood the log cabin of
the energetic pioneers, who by industry
and perseverance founded the "sweet
home" Of to-day. The old house has
been removed. The logs, and shakes,
and puncheons have crumbled to dust
or been made into ashes. The door,
with its latch-strjng, tells no more Of
hospitality. The shade trees are nearly
as large as the forest trees The fruit
grandpa planted is now gathered by
the children, who in many instances
Rise up and call him blessed"G e. il
the trees were grated. The sweet old
fashioned lilac and SNOWFALL, that we're
sent to grandma from 'the East" and
watched by her so tenderly, bloom
each year and happy children
love the flowers grandma
secs no more. The new house differs
from the old one in every respect, ex-
cepting the kitchen, the work manship
of which is finer. There is no fire place,
or "dutch oven," or no poles overhead
on which to dry pumpkins or apples. no
peg on which to hang the per]o rated tin
lantern with its tallow candle, which
has gone out, never to shine again; but
the plan of the kitchen is in other re-
spects the stereotyped edition of the old
house. / mention this room first, as it
is usually the first room seen in the av-
erage county house. The dining-room,
sitting-room, parlor and sleeping rooms
are usually tastefully furnished, bright
and cosy, excepting the "boys ROOM"
which very often is the most STABILITY
furnished room in the house. "The
polishing their room, and see if it will
not take some OF the roughness from its
occupants Ragged quilts must be onthe
bed, "the boys tear them So" Put on
good bedding-make the bed look nice,
and they will have too much respect
and good sense to destroy things. A
carpet. Wash5tand and all articles con.
sidered essential in other sleeping apart
ments ought to be in the boys, room.
Some of the fancy articles the girls have
made, and wondered where in the world
to put them, would brighten up this for
lorn looking place. A piece of sand-pa-
per with something bright around the
edge, fastened to the wall near the
match holder, with a burnt match re-
ceiyer fastened below it, will save the
wall from being ''all scratched up by the
boys" # a button comes off when they
are dressing, box with needles and
thread will save running all over the
house to find some one to sew i on. but
with the material right at hand can sew
it on himself. Make their roo1a look
nice and you VIII not be tro uble,t with
muddy boots tracking ali the way to tn e
"boys' ROOM" Even the lower animals
love clean nest. The average boy is
not lower than the brute I know.
