THE IDEAL HOME.


Love AIast he the Pivot on Which IL
Machinery Turns.
We may build a house. enter it. and
call it home. but unless it is the place
above all others for soul-culture ant
mental growth. it seems almost sacri
legious to give it that endearing name
An ideal home may be in an unpre
tending cottage as we'll as in palace
In either case love must be the pivo
on which the intricate machinery o
home duties turns. II we desire Z
model home we must be willing to
work for it-with brain and heart as
well as hands.
Children should receive their first
lessons in usefulness around the fam
lily hearth-stone. Very early should
they be taught that their own desires
mus: be made subservient to the com.
fort OF the family. We're this rule gen.
orally followed there would be fewer
selfish exactions, and the home life
would be largely filed with generous.

more time and pains were taken
to make homes-hOmes worthy of the
name-the wrOng-dOings OF sons and
daughters would not SO often plant
thorns in the pilloMs of their parents
during their declining years.
Though the mother should take q
certain portion OF her time for social

seems dreary and cheerless when
mother is away. There are no sweet
smiles and loving words OF welcome;
no one to inquire about the successes
and failures OF the work undertaken.
The remembrance of a loving word or
smile will often gladden. the whole
day. Mother-tact will do much to-

interest the little flock growing up
around her. but. to have real home. the
father must contribute his part towards

RESIGNATION IN LIFE.

Reflections Of Man Who Has Passed the
SprinG-Tims 0f Life.
The gray curtain of mist has spread
itself again over the town: every thing
is dark and dull. The bells are ring
ing i'm the distance for some festival;
with this exception every thing Is
calm and silent. Except for the crack
ling of the fire, no noise disturbs my
solitude in this modest home. the
shelter of my thoughts and Of my
work. where the man of middle age
carries on the life Of his student-youth
without the zest of youth. and the pro-
lessor repeats day by day the habit
which he formed as n traveller. What
is it that makes that charm of this
existence outwardly so barren and
empty? Liberty! What does the alb
sence of comfort and of all that Is
wanting to these rooms matter to me z,
These things are Indifferent to me. I
find under this roof light. quiet, shell,
ter. ! am near to sister and her
children whom love: my mate
rial life is assured-that ought to
be enough for a bachelor. Am / not,
besides. a creature OF habit?-more at
tached 10 the ennuis l know. than In
love with pleasures unknown to me. 1
am, then, free and not unhappy. Then
am well of here. and should be un-
grateful TO complain. Nor do l. 1t is
only the heart which sighs and seeks
for something more and better. Tho
heart is an Unsuitable glutton, as we
all knOw--and for the rest. who is
without warnings? 1t is our destiny
here below. Only some go through
tOrments and troubles in order to
satisfy themselves. and all without
success; others foresee the Inevitable
result and by a timely resignation
save themselves u barren and fruitless
effort Since we can not be happy,
why give ourselves SO much trouble?
1t is best to limit ones self 70 what is
strictly necessary, to live austerely. to
content ones self with little aud to
attach no value to any thing hut peace
OF conscience and a sense of duty done.

Returned From Mexico.

Messrs. Isaac NJ. Michael and Joe
Sinner, have returned from their trip
to Mexico, having some three week
in the land of God and Liberty. They
express themselves highly pleas ed
with their trip, and were especially
impressed with the grandeur Of the
city Of Mexico, and the surrounding
country. They say they were most
cordially treated by the Mexican
citizens, who offered every induce
ment to make their stay pleasant and
agreeable. The city of Mexico, they
say offers a great many advantages
for American investment and enter
prise.

The Business Display.

At Casino hall yesterday afternoon
the 80 young ladies of the Cleaners
society of the Methodist church re-
peated their drill and entertainment.
The mum Der of spectators present was
nearly as great as upon the first rep
resentatiOn. The young ladies, if pos
| sible, looked prettier in the light of
the day and drilled better, under
Capt. Green, than upon the first
night, and their many different
marches and military movements
drew forth bursts of applause. The
admission fee was quite small, but as
only the drill was given this was
very popular. Among the young
ladies present was Miss Bette Chew,
whose name was overlooked previous
ly by the reporters. She represented
the firm of Young Il Arnold, as The
Dude,n in becoming style.
Another lady whose costume de-
serves more than a passing mention
was Miss Helen Bennett, who faith
fully represented the well known gro
Gerry firm of Wilson q Moss. Attired
in a becoming dress of red calico, fast
ened at the waist by imitation silver
girdle, she made pretty picture. De-
pending from the girdle was a chate-
laine, to which was attached various
articles of the grocery line, while her
dress was ornamented generously
with nick-knacks, clothes-pins,
onions, potatoes, ETC., and draped very
artistically with clothes-line. The
article Of starch was IavishIy used to
whiten her hair. Epaulettes of scrub
bling brushes, and military style of
cord across the front, composed of lit
tie prejZels, finished off the costume.
The name of the firm was cleverly
shown in enigmatcal form, "WilsOn"
being printed upon the lower breadth
of the left side of the skirt, and under
it was plentiful supply of Spanish
moss, while the lower edge of the
skirt was covered with this pretty and
suggestive decoration.

A Political Association to be Organ
lied by all Races for
Public Good.
There was a meeting last night Of
earnest workers in politics for discus
sion of the lessons taught in the re-
cent election, and of taking action In
! the near future in organizing a cosmo-
politan association that shall teach
the workingmen OF all nations and
cOlors the value of reform, what re-
forms are desired, and the best way
to accomplish the required reform,
binding all in tie for the common
good. Several addresses were deIiV-
cred by well known citizens, the bur-
dens of which was that the people
should rule, elections be honestly con-
Quoted, and that the officers should be
servants, not masters of the people,
combining for their own personal
good. Ultimately it was decided that
Mexican, Colored, German, Italian,
Irish, French, and American sections
be organized, each section to con troll
itself inject to the constitution of a
representative executive council
which shall have supreme control of
the workings of the order. A COM
mittee was appointed to draft a con-
stitution and to name pro ten the eX-
ecutive council that shall take charge
of the organization of each section, and
then the meeting adjourned until
Monday evening next.
