HOME LIFE,-The banes of domestic life
are littleness, falsity, vulgarity, harshness,
an incessant issuing of superfuous prohibit
tions and orders, which provoke ranking or
exploding resentments. The blessed anti
dotes which sweeten and enrich domestic
life and refinement are high aims, great
interests, soft voices, gentle manners, mag
unanimous tempers, and generous alliance Of
mutual freedom.
Love makes obedience lighter than liber-
ty. Man wears noble allegiance as gar
land, not as collar. The graces are never
so lovely as when seen waiting on the vir-
tues; and when they thus dwell together,
they make heavenly home.-W. IL. Aiger.

IND1GNATION.-When a man manifests a
righteous indignation at the wrong-doing CT
others, it is not always safe to infer that he
possesses like Indignation at his own
wrong-doing. Indeed, it sometimes hap
pens that the man who is loudest in con-
demning some particular form of evil-doing',
is himself the greatest sinner in some other
form which is just as grossly sinful. Every
human nature, and there is no evil which
others do which he will not find in himself,
as possibility at least, if he looks for it..
One who recognizes this truth will be mora
likely to be merciful in his Judgment OF the
sins of others, and to be stern in his judg-
ment of his own.-sSmday School Times.

goods on time, not even asking the price,
but leaving it to the honesty of the dealer.
These people find, when they 60 to settle
up, that the bill is larger than they expect
ed. Accounts run up faster than we think,
if we do not keep track ; we forget so many
little items that make large sum in short
time. Icall to mind an old farmer who did
not keep accounts. worked for him once,
drawing logs for a man by the load neither
kept account of the number of loads drawn,
and the account is unsettled yet! think we
should teach our boys and girls, as soon as

learn to keep accounts for themselves.

Is the season in which bad or poisoned blood is
most apt to show ITSELF Nature, at this juncture,
needs something to assist it in throwing off the
impurities which have collected by the sluggish
circulation of the blood during the cold winter
months. Swift's Specific is natures great helper,
as it is a purely vegetable Alternative and tonic.
Rev. L. B. Paine, Macon, Ga, writes: "We
have been using Swift's Specific at the orphans
home as remedy for blood complaints, and as
general health tonic, and have had remarkable
results from its use on the children and employ
ees Of the institution. It is such an excellent
tonic, and keeps the blood so pure, that the sys-
tenn is less liable to disease. It has cured some
of our children of Scrofula.''
