CHEERFUL HOMES.
Retreats Garnished with Grace and Sweet
ened with Love and Smiles.

A single bitter word may disquiet All
entire family for a whole day. One
surly glance casts a gloom over the
household, while a smile, like a CLEAN
of sunshine, may light up the darkest
and weariest hours. Like unexpected
flowers which spring up along our path
full of freshness, fragrance and beauty,
SO the kind words and gentle acts, and
sweet dispositions make glad the home
where peace and blessing dwell. No
matter how humble the abode, if it be
thus garnished with grace and sweetened
with kindness and smiles, the heart will
turn longingly toward it from all the
tumults Of the world; and home, if it be
ever so homely, will be the dearest spot
under the circuit of the sun.
And the influence of home perpetuate
themselves. The gentle grace of the
mother lives in her daughters long after
her head is pillowcdi in the dust of death,
and fatherly kindness finds its echo in
the nobility and courtesy of sons who
come to wear his mantcl and to fill his
place; while, on the other hand, from
an unhappy, misgoverned and disor-
dered home 60 forth persons who shall
make other homes miserable, and per-
petuate the sourncss and sadness, the
contentious, the s%trifes, the ratings,
which have made their own early lives
so wretched and distorted.
Toward the cheerful home the children
gather 'as clouds, and as doves to their
windows" while from the home which
is the abode of discomfort and strife and
trouble, they fly forth as vutures to
rend their prey.-Furmaers' Home.

One of the strangest sights to be
seen in New York is a blind violinist
led by a beautiful spitz dog. The mu-
steal beggar claims to live in Five
Points. The spitz leads him safely
about the city by day and at night
guides him home. When pennies are
dropped into his masters tin box the
spitz wags his beautiful tail in a thank
full manner.-M Y. Tribune.
