The Dear Old Names.

Everyone will, recall the old-fash-
ion Of naming girls after flowers. A
time was when Lily and Rose were as
generally used for names as Mary or
Jane. But now the old names are de-
cidedly the correct thing, and to alb
breviate or nickname them is wretched
form in the sacred Four Hundred.
1t is better SO. Rose and similar
names are pretty enough when carried
by bright-eyed little one, but how
laughable incongruous when you hear
a large, hearty woman, weighing
about 200 pounds, called Lily. The
poetry vanishes instantly.
Come back TO Mary, the sweetest
name on earth; Ruth, reminding you
Of the pastoral book Of that name in
the Bible and its perfect story; to
Esther, Rebeka and many others famed
in scripture, song and story.

The Sister.

No household is complete without a
sister
She gives the finish to the family.
A sisters love, sisters influence
what can be more hallowed?
A sisters watchful care-can any
thing be more tender?
A sisters kindness-does the world
show anything purer?
Who is happy without q sister?
sister is a sort of a guardian angel
in the home circle.
Her presence condemns vice.
She is the quickener Of good resolu-
tions, the sunshine. in the pathway of
home.
To every brother she is light and life.
Her heart is the treasure-house of
confidence.
In her he finds a safe adviser, a char
table, forgiving, tender, though often
undeserved friend.
In her he finds a ready companion.
Her sympathy is as open as day and
sweet as the fragrance of flowers
We pity the brother who has no sis
ter--no sisters love.
We feel sorry for the home that is
not enlivened by a sisters presence.
A sisters Office is noble and gentle
one.
Her duty is TO persuade to virtue, to
win to wisdonrs ways; gentle to lead
where duty calls; to guard the citadel
of home with the sleepless vigilance of
virtue; to gather graces and strew flow
ers around the home altar.
To be sister is to hold sweet place
in the heart of home.
1t is to minister to a holy Office.
