Get Out Of Old RutH.

There once lived man who was the
owner of fine field Of corn. AS the
last days of summer gave way to the
milder days of autumn and the slant
ing rays of the sun changed the white
and milky grain to radiant bronze,
he, with proud thoughts of the coming
bountiful harvest, CHANGED to stroll
through the field one fine morning. To
his dismay he found his neighbours
swine had been making frequent raids
upon the lower end of the field
Confident that his fences were in
prime condition, he tried to discover
the reason for these annoying visits.
and was not long in solving the mys-
terry by finding hollow tree which had
fallen across the line fence from the
neighbor's field, thus making con-
venient path through which the
marauder had entered
eThis must STOP" said the farmer,
and accordingly he hitched on his team
and drew the log back into his neigh
boris field
Passing that way a few days later he
was Mortified by finding the wasted re-
mains Of his former thief stretched at
full length beside the log. Poor beast,

the corn field by the old and well-worn

gress Tor man or woman, it is true that
nothing ever comes to rs that = Is
sweet rs the life Of home. Let women
seek largest culture, the broadest free
dom. the highest service, but, with all,
inseparable from all, they should keep
the home love warm. When that love
waivers and home is less to us because
OF our work in and for the world, it Is
time to pause. We are building our
nests in the wrong place. Singing birds
are to make melody, first, for those God
has given to be nearest, and when our
best is too good for the home, we are
placing our nests too high.
For some of the bravest and sweetest
OF our daughters and sisters there is a
creeping danger here Not danger that
they shall be too brave, too strong. too
learned, that their weapons shall be too
heavy or too sharp-but that, in the Joy
OF welding them, they forget all their
gifts and powers must ultimately be
used for homes, if not for their own,
woman may build, but she cannot for
very long dwell above the home. In
her hands is its regeneration, and it's
exaltation into the noblest institution
OF God.She may not herself hold there
in the place of wife, mother or daughter
but so long as in her heart she holds it
most sacred, and devotes her highest
powers to the objects that will uplift all
homes, her nest is low and her voice
shall be to the world as sweet as the
song of the birds.

Their Rema rkable Record.

1t would be we'll if all families could
point to as creditable a history in point
OF freedom from domectic broils as that
of Deacon Kendrick of Dashrville.
The good deacon and his wife were
celebrating their fiftieth wedding ami

and friends had assembled at the old
homestead, splendid dinner had been
served and eaten, and the speeches,
without which no anniversary Of the
Kind is considered to be complete, were
in progress.
I'm all these so years, my friends .
