The Curse Of OyerWOrk.

There can be no sadder sight than
that Of q broken-down, over-worked
wife and mother-a woman who is
! tired all her life through.
If the work of the household cannot
be accomplished by order, system and
moderate work, without the necessity
of wearing, heart-breaking toil-toil
that is never ended and never begun,
without making life treadmill of la
bor then, for the sake of humanity, let
the work 20. Better to live In the
midst of disorder than that order should
be purchased at 50 high p:ice-the
cost OF health and strength and happi-
ness and all that makes existence en-
durable.
The woman who spends her life in
unnecessary labor is untitled for the
higher duties of the home. She should
be the haven of rest to which both hus-
band and children turn for peace and
refreshment. She should be the care
full, intelligent adviser and guide ofthe
one, the tender confidant and help
mate Of the other.
How is it possible for woman, eX-
hausted in body, as a natural conse-
quence in mind also, to perform either
of these offices? No, it is not possible.
The constant strain is great. Nature
gives away beneath it. She loses
health, and spirits, and hopefulness
and more than all, her youth-the last
thing a woman should allow to slip
from her, for, no matter how old she
is in years, she should be young in
heart and feeling, for the youth Of age
is something more attractive than
youth itself.
TO The over-worked woman this green
old age is out of the question old age
comes on, sere and yellow, before its
time. Her disposition is ruined her
temper is soured her very nature is
changed by the burden which, too
heavy to carry, is dragged along Us
wearied feet and tired hands can do
their part.
Even her affections are blunted, and
she becomes merely q machine-a wo-
man without the time to be womanly,
q mother without the time to train
and guide her children as only mother
can, q wife without the time TO sympa-
thize with and cheer her husband, so
overworked during the day that when
night comes her sole thought, the
most intense longing, is for rest and
sleep, that very probably will not come;
and, even if it should, she is too tired
to enjoy.
Better far let everything 60 unfin-
ished to live as best she can than TO
entail on herself and family, fhe ours"
of OverwOrk.

Seeking, which is not accompanied
by forsaking self and an evil past, is
no genuine seeking, and will end in
no finding. But this fOrsaking is only
one side of true repentance the other
is to turn to God, as is expressed in
the New Testament word for it, which
implies Il change of mind, purpose,
and conduct. The faces which were
turned Godward and averted from
earth. Whosoever thus seeks may be
confident of finding, and of abundant
pardon.
1t is vain to think we can take any
delight in being with Christ hereafter,
f we care not how little we are in his
company here.
A settle is comfortable thing about
the kitchen, as it can be used for
many purposes and yet do lis best
