A MOTHERS OPPORTUNITY
mother who always sends servant to
put the children to bed, or who allows
them to 20 upstairs alone, loses rare
opportunity for learning their true
characters. In the subdued light after
the prayer has been said and the son
or daughter is tucked into bed, the
mother will find them in a mood for
condolences. 1t is easy for them to
make confessions of naughtiness or to
tell their small victories over bad
habit. This begets confidence between
parent and child, and strengthens
them in future efforts to do right.
The errors which have been learned
by contact with other children may be
corrected more easily at this bedtime
hour than in the restlessness of day.
light, when it is more difficult to hold
a child's attention. The mother, too,
often sees the relation of things more
clearly. Perhaps she finds that she
herself has not been without fault in
the governing of her children. By
mutual explanations and apologies, il
need be, everything can be made right,
and new day begun with better
understanding of each other. Let her
not hesitate to apologize if sho has
been hastily unjust. There is no dan
ger of lowering herself in the eyes Of
her children by such a course of ac-
ton, and she will find them more
ready to ask her forgiveness when
occasion requires.

"IT's DONE, Sir" ."-One day an en-
ployer said to youth beginning life
as clerk, "Now, tomorrow that cargo
of cotton must be got out and weigh
ed, and we must have a regular &C.
count Of it,"
He was a young man of energy.
This was the first time he had been
entrusted to superintend the execution
of this work. He made his arrange
ments over night, spoke to the men
about their carts and horses. He re-
solved to begin very early in the
morning, and he instructed the labor
ers to be ready at 4.30 o'clock. His
master came in, and, seeing him sitting
in the contingencies, looked very
black, supposing his commands had
not been executed.
~ thought" said the master, "you
were told to get out that cargo this
morning?"
"It is all done, sir" said the young
man, "and here is the account of it,"
He never looked behind him from
that moment-never His character
was fixed, confidence was established.
He was found to be the man to do the
thing with promptness. He very soon
came to be one who could not be
spared; he was as necessary to the
firm as any of the partners.

WHAT Boys SHOULD LEARN
There are great many things boys,
while boys, should learn. And il
they learn these lessons so we'll as new
er to forget them during life, they will
prove of great help to them oftentimes
when they need help.
Among other things boys should
learn, these may be named:
l. Not to tease boys and girls small
er than themselves.
2. Not to take the easiest chair in
the room, put it in the pleasantest
place and forget to offer it to mother
when she comes in to sit down.
8. To treat mother as politely as il
she were stranger lady who did not
spend her life in their service.
4. To be as kind and helpful to sis
tiers as they expect their sisters to be
to them.
5. To make their friends among
good boys.
6. To take pride in being gentle
man at home.
Z. To take mother into their conf
dence if they do anything wrong and
above all, never lie about anything
they have done.
8. To make up their minds not to
learn to smoke, gamble or drink, re-
membering these things are terrible
drawbacks to good men, and necessi-
ties to bad ones.

BEFORE CHILDREN.

One of the strangest things parents
ever do is to punish their children for
what they have not the strength OF
character to overcome themselves.
Fathers have been known to punish
severely their little ones for profanity
when at the same time they almost
increasingly indulge in it, saying: ~
have become accustomed to using such
expressions, and cannot help it, but l
intend that my children shall form no
such bad habits as I have"
Oh, consistency, thou art a jewel P'
Do they not realize that the whole list
of the little ones doings is an iroita-
ton of the eldersP
If the elder, with his reasoning fac
ulties matured, and with the full force
of will power of their own, cannot
overcome fault, how can a child be
expected to?
Mothers often seat their little ones
at the table containing food injurious
to both parent and child, compelling
the child to abstain while they partake,
afterwards remarking in the presence
of the child: ~ ate too much of that
rich food, but I could not leave it alone,
it was so good"
What kind of an influence does such
an example exert over a childP Does
not the child feel that it has been
wronged, and that as soon as it can
have its own way it will indulge in the
food, or language or other forbidden
thing that seems to be considered so
very wrong for the child, but all right
for older people?
Many times will the child say some.
thing before caller for which it is re-
proved, and in extenuating it's conduct
will say "Why, mamma, I heard you
say So" 1t is important to be very
careful of words and actions before
these little imitators, and do not pun
ish them for what we cannot over
come in ourselves.

READ CAREFULLY AND GO TO WORK TODAY.

DETWEEN this date and the MIDDLE OF
ID MARCH, 1t Is usual for the people OF this
section to select their reading matter for the
following year. Being one OF the cleanest,
most enterprising and reliable newspapers in
the state, 1t IL natural, therefore, that THE
YORKVILLE ENQUIRER should also be
one Of the most popular. Ninety per cent. OF
the families in the county desire # as regu-
lar visitor to their homes, and all those who
can afford 1t, may reasonably be looked upon
as probable subscribers. One Of the most Sc
rious drawbacks, probably, is the tnconven:.
ience OF writing letters, sending money and
attending to the matter Of subscribing at the
proper time It Is this fact that makes 1t es-
pectally desirable for US, Just at this time, to
secure the services Of large number OF intel
ligent and energetic assistants, and to make It
worth their while to give the matter their
attention, we are making the liberal offers
which we will presently explain.
The price OF single subscription one year
is TWO DOLLARS. This is to the individual
who does not give his name to a clubmaker
but sends it direct to this office. In clubs,
however, the price is only ONE DOLLAR
AND SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS. That is the
price which the subscriber pays the clubmaker,
and the price which, under all circumstances,
he is expected to pay us. Now to our propo-
sitiOnS:

FORGING A SALE.

1t was a job to sell old Twister any

to sell him at all, half the time; he
hauled over goods, asked prices, said
they were too high and walked off.
One day our head salesman saw him
coming in, and told the boys to keep
back, and he would certainly sell him
something before he left the store, and
so we stood back and waited.
"What's the price of these goods ?"
said Twister, taking hold of some that
were lying in an open case.
"These, Mr. Twister, are 123 cents q
yard" said the salesman, naming half
a cent rndec the price.
"Twe.w, and a half-too high now

the salesman.
