HAPPY HOMES.
ny MAUD IIETNEE.

Our happiness depends upon our
selves. Ii our hearts are right we
can he happyin a cottage as well
as in a palace. The afflicted often
rejoice on beds Of suffering; the
poor often sing praises to God when
others would think starvation star
ed them in the face. Only tritle
makes many little one glad.
When, therefore, we begin to com
plain Of our lots, of our homes, and
companions, Of what we have here
OH earth, if we would only look into
our own hearts, then We would find
cObwebs and dust that need rcmov.
ing. Let us remove them and note
the effect. Immediately we see
others in a different light Some
times the window panes of our
hearts become so begrimmed that
We cannot see through them at all.
Let us use the broom and the uus.
ter, brush down the cObwebs and
wash the windows. What changes!
AS hOusekeepers feel better after
having put their houses in order,
50 do Christians after having put
their hearts in order. AS the little
Irregularities III housekeeping dis
turb our comfort, 50 do the little
sins that disarrange our hearts dis
turb our comfort.
Happy homes then depend Oh
happy hearts, and happy hearts
are sure to make happy homes.
We sometimes remain at home
long time, until We think we are
worse off than any body else, but on
going about to see our Deighbors
We find that we are as we'll or bet.
ter oil than they; we find that all
the fault is in ourselves.
If our flowers are not quite as
pretty az those of our neighbors,
it is because we have not piven
them the attention that she gave
hers. flour cooking is less pala
table than hers. it is because she
practices that art more or takes
more pains than do we. If she has
more pretty home decorations or
useful articles, tits because she has
beell more Industrious. Thus we
can trace the fault back to our
selves in every respect if we would
only 10 so; but many of us are
blind to our own defects and prefer
blaming some other member of the
family instead of correcting our.
selves. Consequently there is a
continual wrangle, and no improve
ment and no happiness. The in
mates of q home circle that might
be very happy become dissatisfied
and SEEK other homes, till at last
maybe there are but one or two left,
Or maybe all are separated FROM
ono another and are alone in the
world without ties, without homes
without friends.
4 large. united family is the
hight Of human happiness. Love
rules, and each sustains his or her
part aud perfect harmony reigns.
There il. just workenough for each
q gs to 10 and keep off emu, and
2 pIenty Of leisure for each to pur-
sue his or her favorite occupation
of amnsement. Such a home is a
rue type Of heavenly happiness.

They fail to drain that swamp

They do not have thorough
system about their work. They
fail to regard their business as a
piece Of clock-work, which should

They buy inferior seeds because
they are IA little cheaper thar others,

money gain in the operation.

They jog along without any de-
finite ideas as to what crops are
most profitable upon each par'icu-

and what the balance Of profit or
loss may be in each case.
They sneer at agricultural books
and papers, ard at farmers clubs
and institutes.
They take everything they can
get from the soil, and put back
nothing.
They engage in farming without

wits to pull them safely through.
