all over again, and as they seperate each

hesver in the cellar to the maid in the top
room of the gsrret, all are aware OF the
defamation, and that evening all who
leave the house will bear it to other houses
until autumnsl fires sweeping across Hi
nois prairies are less raging and swift than
that fame Of consuming reputation
blszing across the village or city.
Those of US who were brought
up in the country know that the
old fashioned Matching of eggs in the hay
NOV required foar or FIVE weeks OF brood
ing, but there are now modes of Matching
by machinery. which take less time and do
the work in wholesale. So, while the pri-
vste home NAV brood into life an occa-
sional falsity and take long time TO dot,
many of the boarding houses and Family
hotels afford swifter and more multitudi'
nous style of moral incubation, and one
old gossip will get off the nest after one
hour bSoodiug, clucking flock of thirty
lies after her, each one picking up its little
worm of Juicy regalement. 1t is no ad-
vantage to hear too much about your
neighbors tor your time will be 80 much
occupied in taking care of their faults that
you will have no time to look after your
own. And while you are pulling the chick.
weed ont OF their garden yours will get all
overgrown with horse-sorrel and mullen
stalks.
One OF the worst damage, that comes
from the herding Of 80 many people into
boarding houses and family hotels, is
INFLICTED UPON CHILDREN.
1t is only another way OF bringing them
up on tie commons While you have your
own private house you can, for the most
part, control their compsnionship and their
wheresbouts; but by twelve years of age,
in these public resorts, they will have picked
up all the bad things that can be furnished
by the prurient minds of dozens of people.
They will overhesr blasphemies, and see
qusrrels, and get precocious in sin, and
what the bartender does not tell them, the
porter or hostler or hall-boy will. Besides
that, the children will 60 out into the world
without the restraining, anchoring, steady
ing and all-controlling memory OF home.
From that none of us, who have been bless
ed Of such memory, have escaped, 1t grips
q man for eighty years, if he lives 80 long.
Il pulls him back from doors into which he
otherwise would entsr. It smites him with
contrition in the very midst Of his dissipa-
tions Aa the fish already surrounded by
the long, wide net, swim out to sea,
thinking they can 60 as far
as they pleaGe, and with gay
toss Of silvery scale they defy the sports
man on the beach, and after while the
fishermen begin to draw to the net, hand
over hand and hand over hand. aud it is p
long while before the captured fus begin
to feel the net, and then they dart this way
and that hoping to get out, but find them
selves approaching the shore and are
brought up to the very feet Of the captorE,
so the memory Of an early home sometimes
seems to relax and let men out further aud
further from God and further and further
from shore-fve years, ten years, twenty
years, thirty years; but some day they find
an irresistible mesh drawing them back
and they are compelled to retreat from
their prodigslity and wandering, and
though they make desperate effort to es-
cape the impression, and try to dive deeper
down in sin, after while are brought
clear back and held upon the Rock Of
Ages.
If it be possible, o. father and mother!
let your cons and daughters 60 out into the
world under
MEMORY OF G CD. PURE H:ME.
About your two or three roons in 8
clearinghouse or a family hotel, you can
cast no such glorious ssuctity. They will
think of these public caravsnsaries as an
early stopping place, malodOrous with old
victusls, coHees perpetuaily 0tesraing and
meats in everlasting stew CT broil, the air
surchsrged with carbonic acid, and corri-
dors along which drunken boarders come
staggering Of enc o'clock in the morning.
