- What a blessing is the Christian
Sunday now, as was the Jewish Sabbath
in ancient timesl Happy is the land,
and blessed is that family, where the
Sabbath is kept holy, and God is loved
and served A week without Sunday is
like country without the smell of flow
ers or the song of birds. 1t is like q
night without morniug-nothing but
sorrow, darkness, death: Sunday is the
embankment which God has built
against which the waves of care and sor.
row. rolling over the heads and hearts of
anxious men and weary women, may
break their fury, and scatter themselves
in harmless spray and beautiful foam.
Most the Washingtous now living
are descended from George Washing toms

fully occupied in being father of his
country and left it 10 Samuel, WHO was
married FIVE times, to father tie family.

Mothers Turn.

"It is mothers turn to be taken care of
now"
The speaker was winsome young girl,
whose bright eyes, fresh color and eager
looks told of light heht'ed happiness.
Just odt of school, she had the mir Of cul
ture, which is an added attraction to a
blithe young face. 1t is mothers turn
now. Did she know how my heart went
out to:. her for her unselGsh words +?
Too many mothers, in their love oftbeir
daughters, entirely overlook the idea that
they themselves need recreation. They
do without all the easy, pretty and
charming things, and say nothing about
it; and the daughters do not think there
is any self.denial involved. Jenny gets
new dress, and mother wears the old one
turned upside down and wrong side out.
Lucy egoes on the mountain trip, and
mother stays at hot1e and keeps house.
Emily is tired of study and must lie dow
in the afternoon; but mother, though her
back aches, has no time fur such an in
diligence.
Dear girls; take good care uf your
mothers. Coax them to let you relieve
them of some of the harder duties which
for years they have patiently borne.
