HERoIsM AT HoME.-How useles:
our lives seem to us sometimes. How
we long for an opportunity to per.
form some great action. We become
tired OF the routine of home life, and
imagine we would be for happier 10
other scenes. We forget that the
world best5ws no titles az noble as
father, mother, sister or brother. In
the sacred precincts Of home we have
many chsnces of hcroism.
The daily acts of self-denial for
The good OF loved one. tho gentle
word OF soothing for another's trou-
BILE, the care for sick, may all seem
as nothing; yet who can tell the
good thoy accomplish Our slightest
word may have an influence over an
other for good or evil. We are daily
sowing the seed that will bring forth
some sort of harvest. Well will il be
for as il the harvest will be one we
will be proud To garner. IL some in
that dear home can look back in az
ter years, and as be tenderly utters
our name, say, "Her words and ex.
ample prepared me for life Of uses
fulness, to her I owe my present
happiness :" We may well say,"I have
not lived in vain.
