Cannon Farrar on Women.

If it be true that the cornerstone
of the Commonw is the hearth
stone," hcw important is the work of
every woman. even in that sphere of
family life which many are tempted
to despise as too narrow for their ener-
gies. Every woman should, indeed,
aim at doing good in wider regions of
life, and should endeavor by the ire
sistible force of sweet and silent influ-
ence, if in no other way, to raise the
whole, tone of national thought and
conduct. = But even if woman,
whether married. or unmarried, be
"neyer heard of half mile from
home," the purity and loftiness of her
ideal, the devoted urselfishness of her
life, may tell with immense and con-
tinuous powerupon every member of
her family. The bright invisible air
produces effects more stupendous
when no whisper of a breeze is heard
than all the fury of the passing hur-
ricane; and the influence, conscious
and unconscious, of thousands of
women, entirely unknown to fame,
may 60 to the ennoblement of the
moral being of generations yet un.
born. Men are, and ever will be,
what their wives and sisters, and
above all their mothers, tend to make
them, by influence which begins with
the grave.

Single Beds.

If these were more numerous than
they are great many people would be
better off. When one is tired, sick,
cross, restless. out-of-sorts, he or she
ought to sleep alone and not commune
icate BY proximity the maladies that
effect him. The brute creatures when
sick go away by themselves till they
die or get over their troubles, and this
instinct great many human beings
have those that have it are best If in.
dulged in it not to the slightest degree
of neglect, howeve. Left to themsel-
YES, they can compose their internal
dissensions, recover their lost equilib-.
rum, and get back their habitual rate
Of vibration :" whereas, if continually
disturbed and "crossed" and interrupt
ed, they are long timein getting back
to the normal. sEG5
Where two children in a family must
share the same room, in great many
cases they would be better off to have
two single beds rather than one wide
double bed. We can share great
many things with those we love, but
solitude clings to us from birth
to death. We come into the world
alone, we 60 out Of it alone,
and we live in it alone, in certain
important sense, and to get and keep
our bearings" we must sometimes be
left alone. 1t is good that we should
be. He who has his bed to himself
may be essentially alone for portion
of the twenty-four hours, may have
himself to himself, and adjust his in
ternal mechanism to his own satisfac-
tion. For great many woes and ills
solitude is balm-what we call soli-
tude-for when alone the immaterial
asserts itself, the actual fades, the real
is present with US. t.a

The Education of Girls.-Few sub
iects are receiving such wide and vari
ed discussion, both here and abroad,
as that of the education Of girls. Or
the one hand there is grave doubt eX'
pressed as to the efficacy of the pre-
sent system; on the other it is eXtolleo
as perfect and satisfactory. We fino
the schools abused by some, and tile
home censured 10y others, rs RESPONSE
BILE for any defectin The character OF
girls training. Teachers and books
are not the maili factors in the educa
cation of girls. 1t is the character
and disposition of their parents and
associates which WELD the most pow
erful influence. Ifyou live with vol.
YES you must learn 10 howl, and all
high standards of education are usu.
ally fertile when the atmosphere oi
the girls home and her associations
are the reverse of refining and intelli'
gent. 1t requires peculiarly strong
will on her part, then, to refuse to howl
when her tribe is wolfish. And it is
lust here where the moral obligations
of parents must be emphasized to COM
plement the school by associations not
necessarily of wealth or luxury, but
of culture and religious principle.

Laying Up.

For those with narrow incomes Iay-
ing up to about synonymous with
going without. One can't have bis
cake and eat it, too. If one who has
| 500 week spend 500 week, what
is there left to put in bank? The great
fortunes in this country have been be-
gun on small savings. The fortune
makers went without a great many
Things their fellows indulgedin.
Not very long ago a young man
married and set up his own home.
He had good Income from his pro.
fession, and could live In modest eie-
gance but the temptation to spend
kept growing. and he found that
at the end of the year there would be
nothing laid aside for a rainy day. so
he and his wife had a consultation,
and decided that so much should be
put in bank every month, and they
would live on the remainder. OF
course, this meant inexpensive excur-
sions on holidays, non-indulgence in
high-priced amusements, plain clothes,
a plain table, and cheap luxuries. It
meant, also that they should find their
friends, so far as possible, not among
those for whom during one two or three
life-times somebody had been laying
up. 1t meant that they should find
their greatest happiness in each other,
in their home, and in such recreations
as could be had without any large pc
cuniary outlay. ....,.
Of course, it required courage to de-
eide upon such scheme of living, and
it required persistence to the point of
ohstinacy to carry out the scheme Of
living; but they were sure the posi-
tion they had taken was sound and
sensible and one never to be reviewed /,
or regretted, aud they held to it steadi-s
ly. Wise investments of their savings
enabled them after n few years to live
in a house of their own :but the scale
of living was not increased. The sim
pie habits they had formed were suffi-
cient for their happiness, and had pre-
screwed them in health and vigor;
and they looked forward to declining
years without apprehensions Of hav-
ing to work beyond their strength or of
going without necessary comforts.

Mr.. Grady's Prohibition tendencies
were well known and We're considered
remarkable in O man of his tempera-
ment and surroundings. He was more
over one of the few Prohibitionists
who did not hesitate to avow that he
loved drink. Probaly no better state
ment of his position was ever made
than that which he wrote to his yonng
friend (afterward his successor), Mr..
Clark Howell. In q letter inclosing
a birthday present, he wrote:
My son will be just about your age
when you are about mine, and he will
enter the paper when you are about
where l am. have got to looking at
you as a sort of prefigurng Of what
my son may be, and of looking over
you and rejoicing in your success, as l
shall want you to feel toward him.
Let me write to you what [ would be
willing for you to write to him:
Never Gamble-Of all the vices
that enthrall men. this is the worst.
the strongest and the most insIdious.
Outside of the morality of it, it is the
poorest investment, the poorest busi-
ness and the poorest fun. No man is
safe who plays at all. 1t is easier nev-
or to play. Inever knew man, gen
tleman and man of business, who
did not regret the time and mon
ey he had wasted in it. A man who
plays poker is unfit for every other
business on earth.
Never Drink love liquor and l
love the fellowship involved in drink
ing. My safety has been that never
drink at all. 1t is much easier not to
drink at all than to drink a little. Ii
I had to attribute what I have done in
life to any one thing should attribute
it to the fact that am teetotaler. AS
sure as you are born, it is the pleasant
test, the easiest and the safest way.
Marry Early-There is nothing, that
steadies o Young fellow like marring Il
good girl aud raising family. by
marrying young your childrengroW up
when they are Il pleasure to you. You
feel the responsibility of life, the sweet
ness of life and you avoid bad hao-
its.
If YOU never drink, never gamble
and marry early, there is no limit to
the useful and distinguished life you
may live. You will be the pride OF
YOUR fathers heart and the JOY OF your
mothers.
| don't know that there is any happi-
ness on earth worth having outside OF
the happiness of knowing that you
have done your duty, and that you
have tried to do good. You try to
build up. There are always plenty
Others W ho will do all the tearing down
that is necessary. You try to- live in
the sunshine. Men who stay in the
shade always get mildewed.

Several "United States"

When we say 1.-THE United States"
we ALWAYS mean our own country,
which is the United States because it
is the oldest and greatest Of them all.
But there are others, and because our
free government is so prosperous, the
exam pie may be followed by other ma:
tions; so there will be yet more United
States made from countries that are
now Kingdoms or empires. Here are
the names of the United States now
in existence, and the years in which
they were born: 1776, the United
States of America; 1924, the United
States of Mexico; 1861, the United
States of Columbia; 1864, the United
States of Venezuela; 1889, the United
States Of Brazil.

BROOKLYN, N. Y. Nov. 25, 1887.

Brooklyn, N. Y. Nov. 25, 1887
One of the pluckiest and most satisfy
ing things that ever transpired IN any
community occurred in this city few
DAYS ago. 1t is beautiful because it
shows the existence Of a strong moral
sentiment in at least one circle, and
the possession of good common sense
and splendid courage on the part of
q young lady who has been long es'
teemed for her beauty and accomplish
ments. The girl in question was In:
vited by her lover, to whom she had
lust become betrothed, to take a drive
behind his fast horse. This animal
was perfectly docile with his owner,
but not to be depended upon when
other hands manipulated the ribbons
After q spirited trip down the Coney
Island road the lover informed the
lovee that as he had a cold he thought
he would stop for q moment and brace
upon a cocktail, if she felt that she
had nerve enough to hold the relns..
"Certanly," said the young lady. ii
am not in the least tinid. Get your
cocktail by all means" The thirsty
traveller stepped to the curb, care
fully covered the quivering beast,
and was soon lost to sight. The young
woman thus deserted quietly waited
a moment, then deftly drew in the
blanket, turned the horses head. and
at the risk of her life started for home.
But any thing was preferable to the
companionship of man who would
leave her at the entrance of public
house while he drank a gin cocktail
at the bar. She arrived safely at the
stables, gave the horse into competent
hands, and then proceeded to the tel
egraph office: This was her message
'Horse, carriage and driver safe; A
word to the wise is sufficient" Nat
urally the young man tried to make
excuses and plead his cause, but every
effort was useless. "The man who
could so far forget himself before mar,
riage, would be q brute afterward," " was
the uncompromising argument of this
sensible grid. Oh, for lot more OF
this kind of leaven.

doing now? / never saw a girl that

to dow

ready beforehand; that's all"
And this little thing that had been
persisted in by Rose until it had be-
come a fixed habit, saved her more
trouble than she herself ever had any
idea of; more time too. Ready before
hand try it.
AS surely as you do, faithfully, you
will never reliquish it for the slip-shod
timeenough when its wanted way Of
doing.
