Tie long evenings are now here and
will afford pleasure indoors for the
family circle. Home amusements are
calculated to dc a vast amount OF good,
aud if every family would cater to the
enjoyment of their younger members
there would not be 20 much wondering
where the beys were tonight. Music,
dancing. charades, puzzles and even
parties are all good in their way and
will often enlist the earnest attention
of all. Do not begrudge the children
an entertainment of pleasure for fear
of spelling them. They must have it
and will have it, II not at home then
elsewhere. Parfor fheatricals are
another source of amusement which
affords pleasure for old and young, and
can be moved from house to house,
and thus several families n become
interested.-Er.
