a bright young journalist once told the
writer that in order to impress fset
upon the minds of people 1t was necessary
20 keep "hammering at it." Thinking OF
this, We have mstaphorlcallY taken out
the hsmmer and are going to hammer at
81 Oft told tale 1t the risk OF being
charged with repetition or want C orig
inality, whichever the critics may term 1t.
| Selishness IN manhood is preceded by
selfshness in Coyhood, and when the wife
| signs St an exhibit Of it in her husband
she right!ully charges the mother with
some share il its existence, but when she

is she mindful that she is
herself sowing thorns in the path
way Of some sister to be reaped
in disappointment snd in tears?
, With many natures Indulgence towards
others is so much easier than discipline
that the latter is seldom enforced, and
shy little pricking Of conscience is sllayed
by the theory OF outgrowsl. It may be

there Eny assurance that the feeling lying
back Of 1t has become changed, or that

selhshness will not be intensified and eX.

on the psrt OF wife end mother is often
the easiest thing to do, but Is it the
wisest? That mother who exacts nothing
in the way CT devotion, who SLOWS her
children to ignore her happiness in the
pursuits OF their own, who yields to every
within and never allows her wishes
to be paramount, Is likely
TO be left out Of her fsmily's
calculations, and at sometime t. expert
ence the bitter pang OF being forgotten
while she yet lives. More than this; such
se!t-ebnegation Is not 8 virtue; it is even
g neglect OF duty. take it that one
duty Of the mother is teaching that hon.
or1ng which it is the children's duty to
render. A neglect Of this trsining devel-
ops sel6shness instead Of thcugntfulness
in the beloved ones whom she serves, and
1t too often happens that the wife and
mother who denies herself constantly n
waiting upon others, and demands no
consideration for herself, wakes later in
life to find tnat she has msde mistake.

given more than she ought for the sake

The daughter whose comfort has al
wsys been consulted before that of her
mother, the son whose hours of study or
play must never be interrupted for his
mothers sake, the husband who knows
tlst his wife is 8 saint for unselflshness,
impose unconsciously upon her goodness.
They develop dizziness OF sympathy, an
unresciness TO think OF her needs, which.
is as hurtful TO their own morsl growth
ss it is heartbreGking and incomprehensi-
BILE to the woman who has uselessly laid
down her very life for them.
Whatever saintliness such sacrifice may
exhibit, this world is not heaven for there
ell are angels, there is no marrying or CIV
ing in marriage, and while well ordered
home is the nearest approach to 1t posi-
BILE, that home must be the common c-ea-
ton of its inmates and can only be made
SO by eSch prefsrring one another, and
rendering due difference to those who
preside over it. Bsr,sh selfshEess

presence that permes.es these dwellings
