THE HOME.


II is not the province of daily
newspaper to try to usurp the
function Of the preacher, says the
Nashville American, but it is its
province TO influence public
thought, and this it does, directly
and indirectly, whether it would
or no, and hence it is as much its
duty to influence the thought Of
the public it serves upon social
and domestic questions as upon
those bearing upon political and
commercial topics.
The most indifferent observer
must have noted the change that
has come over the home life in
the large cities OF the country,
and to some extent in the moder-
ate sized cities and towns. The
home life is fast disappearing and
in its stead is the society life.

are many women. too, who are

and if they find little time hang

hasten to form new club for
additional social dissipation.
