Home.

A happy home! What sweet thoughts
these simple words call up. A pleasant
ia :nly circle, cheerful surroundings;
pt ace. plenty a: sunshine. But while
We all SO love and appreciate home
like this, how few of US are doing our
level best to crea such one.
We are born into home; we find
father and mother, shelter and food
there as our birthright. We expect as q
matter of course, that the needs of our
lite will ne supplied to us by our parents,
both as an act of duty and Of love. But
how many Of try to make all the returns
possible or what is given US? 1t is just
as much our duty to give what We can as
it is that Of our paren 6. We must not
take all and give nothing for that is pure
selhshness. We must return love Tor
love, service for Service and content
ment for what is ours. To be happy
cheerful, helpful and useful, is the duty
of every menner Of Il home. No home
will ever be unhappy where these four
things are needed. The one who does
most to make home happy, deserves
our warnest admiration. 1t is not plen-
~ or poverty that wins the b essiny, but
it is the mind, soul and heart of those
who dwell IN the home. Il is mo1e
blessed to give than to receive, 20 The
o,;ewno cIltivates a generous, benevolent
spirit. and gives the most Of love, labor
and sunshine to the home, will be its
most biest inmate. Liberty and free.
dom are vain words if they be not used
as wei! as ourselves. To do as
nj s.v,1~
SO long as We please to do our best. A
mother has no right to scold, fret and
fume, making all around her unhappy.
even though she feels weary, worried
and worn. Far better leave some of the
work undone than to have tidiness at
the sacrifice Of peace and happiness.
The husband has no right
to demand further obedience, service
and love of the wife than
he is willing 10 give in return. Nor to
to use LIQUOR ,r obaco if she objects to
it, because these two substances are
wholly evil in tendency. Thew pollute
the breath, blunt the moral perceptions
and waste the finances, all of which
should DC the mutual property of each
resident of the home.
Economy should be a home-virtue be-
longing to every member Of the fami y.
Not mlserliness or meanness, but c .re-
fitness that allow OF no waste or undue
sp'ndiDg. Make home comfortable
fist, and then as the combined efforts
of the whole family will allow of.
so let us live that If liz isforlune's blast
Come like a whirlwind to our hesrths at
last,

Of blue,

alluding to set of diamonds a young
lady had just taken away with her.

Potts and Lightni ng rod Men.

The lightning-rod man haun,s our
county As he does the rest OF the civil
lied portion of the country; and al
though occasionally he secured a victim,
sometimes it happens that he gets
worsted in his attempts to begui.e his
tellow-men. Such Was his fate upon a
recent occasion in our village.
The other day lightning rod man
drove up in front of handsome edifice
standing in the midst of trees and
shrubs in MiIburg, ard spoke to nv.
Potts, who Was sitting on the steps in
ront. lie accosted Potts as the owner
o. the residence. ana said:
81 see you have no lightning. rods Oh
this house"
NO." said Potts.
Are you going to put any on?"
swell, hadn't thought Of it," replied
Potts.
"You ought to. A tall building like
this is very much exposed. I'd like to
run you up one Of my rods; twisted
steel, glass tenders, nickle plated tips
everything complete. May I put up
one to show yca? I'll do the job cheap"
"Certain!v YOU may. ifyou wan: to-.
! haven't the slightest objection" said
Potts.
During the next half hour the man
had his ladders up and his assistants at
work and at that time the job was done.
He called Potts out IN the yard to adj
nlire it. He said to Potts:
Now that is vi! we'll enough; but If it
was my house. I'd have another run on
the other side. There's nothing like
being protected thoroughly"
That's true, said Potts; lit would
be better"
''I'Il put another, shall ~" asked the
man.
"Why, ofcourse, if you think it BEST"
said Potts.
Accordingly tho man went to work
again. unh soon had the rod in its place.
"Thats first rate job," he said to
Potts US they both stood cycling it. Il
like such man as you are. Big hearted,
liberal, not afraid 10 put dollar down
for a good thing, There's some pleasure
in des,in' with you. like you 50 much
that I'D put couple more ro1s on that
house, on the north end and one on the
south, for almost nOthin.'
1T would make things safer, 1 sup
pose," said Potts.
"Certain'y it would. I'd better do it.
hadn't 1. hey?"
''Just as you think would be proper"
eaid Potts.
So the man ran up two more rods,
and then he came down and said to
Potts, There! that's done. Now let's
settle up"
''po WHAT"
"Why, the jobs finished and now III
take my money"
"Yuu don't expect me to pay you, I
hope?"
''Oi course I do. Didn't you tell me
to put tho@e rolls on your house?"
my house," shouted Potts. Thunder
and llxhtning!" never ordered you to
put those rods up. 1t would have been
ridiculous. Why, man, this is the court

court to assemble. Pm on the jury. You
seem to DO anxious to rus out your
rods; and as it was none OF my business,
let you 20 on. Pay for it! Come now.
