You will find out he knows q great

how he ever equipped himself with the

always the one to give to the world the
fact that his sister uses powder. wears
false teeth, and is 80 years old. If there

hears you speak of it, and then goes
around talking about it as though it

If you say the clergyman's sermons

The old adage that boys will be boys

half dozen girls. The boy is always
in mischief. When he is In school he
is studying up some kind of deviltry to
perpetrate when school is out. Or else
he is playing tricks ON the teacher.
When he is at home he is twisting the
cats tail, or disturbing her hearthstone
dreams with bean-shooter. If there
is no cat to torment he will torment his
little sister by making faces at her OF
dressing the dog up in her dolls clothes.

That which gave New England such
prominence, such pesce and honor in
her early history, over the continent
and across the seas, was not the cult
ure Of her schools and colleges half so
much ~ the character Of her homes.
You may say that schools and colleges
make the home. bat the truth is homes
with their stanch integrity and un-
faltering fidelity gave birth to these
educational advantages, creating q
necessity for them. Never on the face
of the whole earth was there found o
deeper devotion to principle, loftier
conception of the marriage covenant, a
sublimer vision and confession of mu-
tual relations than in the early homes
of New England. II was then that hus-
bands and wives rested in each other
then that children grew up in habits of
thrift and virtue, as impossible of es-
cape as memory itself.
We sometimes talk about the forbid
ding features of those times, as If the
homes of our fathers were forlorn,
freezing every affection. checking every
aspiration, holding to sternness and
stoicism. To me, as look back, and
as read history, and as reason from
causes to consequences, the grandeur
of home life in the days of our fathers
has never been equaled, certainly never
surpassed. Those households, which
some sneeringly call Puritan" held in
them the germ of our national great
ness, and dark will be the day when we
despise them.
Two generations ago marriage was q
union so sacred as to receive announce
ment in the church Of God on Sunday,
weeks before its contamination. The
family was so sacred that its peculiar
wants were presented for remembrance
in public prayer. The children had
something more than lodging and
boarding in the home. All the in.
mates there, of whatever age or occu-
patton, came together in pleasurable
intercourse and worship. Have you
forgotten the Thanksgiving days, and
the anniversary gatherings of your
fathers, when parents and children
and grandchildren played together
Have you forgotten the churches OF
your fathers. when parents and chill
dren and grandchildren sat together
in the old family pew? There were
not parties then for the "old folks,
and the children" and the "babies. v
The healthful influence of parents was
felt on children in Their sports and
studies, and the exhilarating influence
of youth was felt on age. The home
was never forgotten, whatever the
pleasure or toll. There, by the oper
Fireplace, was the center of love
cheer, hope, life. The highest Joys
the highest helps, the sweetest RESI-
were found at home; and so all par
ties were comparatively stakeholder

An Awkward Resurrection.

1t occurred one night when Nelson
and Compton had been playing Romeo
and Juliet" at one of the provincial the
aters, and happened in the scene which
closes with the killing of Tybalt by
Romeo's sword. "As this scene is usu-
ally closed in we'll up the stage to
allow Juliet's chamber to succeed i'm
mediately, the representative of the
fiery Tybalt' is always asked to die in
the third or fourth entrance. e., at
the back of the stage-and to lie close
until the flats are run on and he is hid
den from view. Tybalt received the
sword-thrust in the usual effective fash
ion, and, treating the audience to tre-
mendous 'back-fall, dropped down stiff
and stark and dead. The prompter at
once gave the signal for the flats to be
pulled on, but alas the scene-shifters
were pulling at something else, and
did not respond, the only movement be-
ing the shutting of feet caused by some
of the employees rushing next door to
fetch the delinquents. Having heard
the whistle and the subsequent shutting
of feet, Tybalt concluded that all was
right, and, calmly sitting up, he very
methodically put his collar to rights,
fidgeted with the button at his neck,
quietly pulled down his Shakspearean
shirt, and, shaking the dust off his wig.

enlistment and dismay, he encountered
the amused gaze of the large audience
intently fixed upon him. With hor-

Immediately run on amid the uproarious
laughter of every spectator before and
