The Throne of Woman.

The well-bcing of society rests on our
homes, and what are their foundations
Zones but woman's care and devotion
A good mother is worth an army of ac-
Guaintanccs, and n truc-hcarted, noble
minded sister is more precious than the
''dear five hundred friends" The love
we experience for domestic blessings
increases faith in an infinite goodness,
and 10 ~fOretaste Of a better world Ia
come.
Our homes, as one well observes,
are the support of the Cover 'mo'' md
the church, and all the associ:. ,ons and
organizations that give blessings and
vitality to social existence are herein
originated and fostered.
Those who have played around the
same doorstep, baskcd in the same
mothers smile, in whose veins the
same blood flows, are bound by a sa-
cred tie that can never be broken. Dis
tance may separate, quarrcls may oc-
cur, but those who have a capacity to
love anything must have at times a
bubbling up of fond rccollections, and
a yearning aftcr the joys of by-gone
days.
Every m has a mission on earth.
Be she of high or low degrec-in sin
Gle blesscdness or double-she is re-
creant to her duty if she sits
with folded hands and empty head

That soul is poor, indeed, that leaves
the world without having cxertcd an

Ter she passed away.
There is little beauty in the lives OF
those womcn who are drawn into the

sanctuary of home life can she be most

She was going now down to meet
