the story and wakes interest in those
who would not otherwise listen. The
reader should bear in mind that Sc
lection is as important as good read
ing. Something must be found which
the whole circle can enjoy. The read
er cannot afford to follow his or her
w particular tastes; nor is the
reading of trash ever justifabIe. Per
haps the wisest plan in leading a
household into listening to books of
any informatr. is to begin by read
ing s~piritedly something humorous,
and here one has a wide range, APP
pealing to a mixed audience, of any
education whatever, and, if you can
once get your listeners dependent on
you, you can induce them to share
your own taste should they run to
graver things. Far the best way with
growing children is. to oblige each
one to read a few pages in turn every
evening. It is dangerous work let
ting one naturally smooth and quick
reader monopolize the whole, for that
will tend to cause others to give up
any attempt at reading, even to them
selves. Keep the best readers turn
till the last, and the others will hear
the poor ones patiently in anticipa-
tiOn.-C. j. Harrow.

The Old Boy.

Mrs. @. was Mortified to discover
that her little seven-year-old daugh-
ter was rapidly acquiring the habit
of abiding very freely to the devil,
and at last she told her determinedly
that a repitiOn of the obnoxious word
would bring severe punishment.
The child knew that her mother
was in earnest, so she set a seal OF
her lips. At last she seemed to have
forgotten it; but one Sunday Mrs.
c., who had been too i'll to go to
church, asked her if she could tell
what the minister had preached about
in his sermon.
ooh, yes'm," she answered; che
preached about Our Lord going up
into the mountain and being tempt
ed by-by-by-by the gentleman who
keeps hell!"
She didn't intend to run-any risks
of being punished.-Lippincott's.

A Scene in Eastern Carolina.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-I have been
thinking about joining the Social
Chat Circle for some time. I live
near a beautiful little village s%ituat-
ed neal a large lake. The village
gets its name from this fact, and is
called Catharine Lake. The lake has
a beautiful boundary and is without
visible inlet or outlet. It's water is
clear enough for any one to e the
bottom at all times. The shore in
places is as white as the seashore.
This lake covers eighty acres of
ground, and is partly o~verspread
with pretty white pond lilies. The
village is in a large and beautiful
oak grove. Some of the oaks are
covered with long hanging MOSES
which nearly reach the ground. One
mile from here is a large mineral
spring, from which flows two thou
sand gallons of fine sulphur water
per minute. The water is as clear
as crystal. [ live on a farm and like
farming very much, and am going
to school.

ed for the letters time and again,b but
wishes were of no value. So if I am
out of date, the Chatterers will
please pardon me.
In a late number of the Cosmopol-
itan, appeared an article headed,
"What a Father Can Do For His
Girl" or something to this effect,
and The Progressive Farmer, think
very wisely, copied the best para
graphs of this article. Since reading
the sketch I have been thinking about
the fathers position in the family,
more especially the place he should
hold in the estimation of his chill
dren. It may be true that mother,
home and heaven are the sweetest
and dearest words in our English
language, and I think father ought
to be added to this list. Mother is
dear; yes, we all love her more than
we can express, but here we fail to
see that father is equal to mother in
sharing troubles and making us hap
Ply. Home is not home without faith
er and mother, and we scarcely even
lift our eyes ~heavenward without a y
ing, "Our Father"
Listen to the father as he pleads
with God to bless each boy and each
daughter. See how hard he works
and tolls to start his children off we'll.
Notice his tender caressing of the
little ones. Watch his warm vel
come to his older ones when they
come to see him.
If any have lost mother and turned
to father for mothers protection,
they have surely found it. They ask
for advice; he gives his best. They
ask for sympathy and he sympathizes
with them. They ask for help; he
aids them. A thousand other things
could here be mentioned, but if each
of you know the man of whom I
write, I have said enough. He is
your father and my father.

Horace Greeley's Broken Heart.

Senator Depew introduced an ac-
count of the disastrous close of HO-
race GreeIey's life into his eulogy of
the late Representative Amos Cum
mings. of New York, in the Senate
recently. He said:
Il have seen many a death-bed in
nv life: | have seen life go out under
conditions that were sad or sweet,
hopeful or despairing. | never but
once saw a man die of a broken
heart. and never do l wish to see such
a tragedy again.
L made a speech with Mr.. Greeley
in his Presidential campaign. just
before its close. We spoke from
the same platform, and both of us
knew that he was to be beateH. We
went back to his home, and he was
iccred upon the train and at the
depot when he arrived. We went in
to his study, which was Uttered with
those famous caricaturcs of Mast,
representing him as the embodiment
Of all that was evil or vile in express
sion or practise in life. Mr.. Greeley
glanced them over for a moment,
and then said:
"'My life is a failure. l never
have sought to accumulate a fortune.
| never have cared for fame, but
did want to leave a monument of
what | had done for my fellow men,

Aunt Jennie's Letter.

March has come and April will
soon be here with her smiles and
frowns. This is the season when we
wonder each morning what we shall
see before night. Every thing in
nature is changing and we live In
constant expectation of new birds,
buds and flowers. For years a little
wren has been my friend and lived
neal me, so CHEEKY, Industrious and
musical. A good example for most
housekeepers, and [ oftentimes feel
the weight of it, more 50 perhaps
when it rains and everything gets
musty and damp; then when sud
denly amid my worry I hear her song,
my burden is lightened and I know
that the sun will shine, if not soon,
at least Sometime" The fruit
trees are blooming and we feel a lit
tie nervous as to the crop of fruit
and fear more cool nights yet.
What have you planted in the gar
den? Of course you have left a
space for one if you are a new man
at the business of providing conve-
nience for a wife. I care not how
good a cook you have, unless you help
her to provide for the table you may
persuade yourself that after all she
does not know as much about it as
you thought she did. A garden is a
necessity in the country away from
market and a luxury in town in that
one can always have fresh vegetables
for the home table.
Oh, how I long for you all to have
an abundance of flowers this sum
mer, and if you can't plan for many,
do have a few. There is an indescrib-
able enchantment in the beauty and
fragrance of flowers. They awaken
emotions in the human breast that
are not touched even by music. Now
If you have patiently plOdded and
learned to play, the labor you per-
formed you alone can appreciate.
Your music is enjoyed by others, but
you cared not for the sunshine and
the rain. A flower isLGOd's creature,
and no amount of exertion on mans
part can produce one living blossom
unaided by that divine spark which
we call life. It is something which
is intangible. No man can give life
to flowers, but he can aid in sustain
ing the life it has already and help
it to perfect its beauty and by SO do
ing aid materially in identifying his
surroundings and the place he calls

usually are. I hope that our depart
