THE WINTER EVENINGS.

Mrs. NJ. Pugsley, Of Owosso Writes
an Interesting Article About Them
The snort winters day, SO cold, SO
full OF hardships Is all prose, but the
long evening In the bosom OF the farm
home, how different Happy faces are
gathered about the lamplight and low
ing voices cheer the heart while a
merry wood fire laughs at the angry
wind without
In families where there are young,
character must be built and in all
families, even If composed of mono.
genarians, it should be sustained.
Then those hours between twilight and
bedtime should he spent In way
that will be productive OF good as well
as of pleasure.
First, let there be reading, not OF
the desultory kind; one night "Uncle
Tom s Cabin, and next the "Adven-
lures of Aeneas, but follow system
attic course. II 1t be "Uncle Tom" do
not lay him aside for another until the
last chapter is finished; or II "Aene
as" follow him until Prince Turnus
is slain and the Latins defeated.
Some members Of the family should
read aloud for a stated period each
evening. 1t not only will benefit him
from an Evolutionary point OF view,
but will give the others an opportuni-
ty TO use their fingers If they choose.
Mother can mend and Arabella can
make design for her embroidery.
Let the books read be such as will
please as we'll as instruct; for then all
appeals to the sentiment, the pride, or
the sense of duty will have more d.
rect aud lasting effect.
Next come the games. Always select
those that serve to sharpen the wits
and keep the memory alive. What a
happy hour may be spent with authors,
great cities or memography. Even the
popular ping-pong has its advantages
as muscle developer.
In nearly every home there is some
kind OF musical instrument. OF
course Arabella can play; she has
learned the latest song, it has caught
the fancy OF the boys and they call
for IT, Mother asks for "Swanee Rib
ber," and all, even to Baby Jane, join
their voices. Arabella feels that she
is appreciated aud practices an extra
hour the next day.
1t is getting late, father takes down
the family bible and all gather about
him. Now the precious teachings OF
Christ are read aloud to that silent,
reverent circle. They sink deep into
every heart; though sin and crime may
in time overpower, yet they cannot
quite crowd them out. Even the
youngest child who comprebends not
the meaning of the words feels that
something solemn and beautiful is be
ing read.-Detroit Tribune.
