Begin early 70 inStii irto life the

beantifYino OF home.
Let him who bcautifes home see
that the child within its walls shall
get the full effect of its beautiful en-
vironments. Acute pocticai percep-
tions and fire sensibilities rising
from the development Of the creative
faculties, are much assisted by the or

It's counterpart in human nature, other
things being equal. Childhood is pc

From the brook that runs through
the picturesque meadow. from the
mossy dell. from the grassy green hill
side, from the cheerful doorNard Of
lawn beneath the benignant s.iade OF
beautiful trees, childhood gathers its
lealgiving romance; lasting impres
sions that, with the passing of time
and people, serve to sweeten the
"stern realities" of later life. These
things are fashioners OF character.
driving out the cold, coarse part of na.
ture and replacing with that tender
ness which, in every phase of life, is
freighted with loyalty to the cause
from which it springs.
Teach the young, both by precept
and example, to take an interest in
home. Teach them to realize the ne
cessity of having homes and OF add
ing comforts to them, and that each
member has duties to this end; and
once the far-reaching results of these
duties are realized. their performance
will be pleasure, just from the fact
of feeling that one has added some
thing substantial to the place that is
most to him.
IncuIcate the idea that home is

titles, annoyances and temptations.
and strive to have each member of
the household not only willing, but
eager to put a brick in this structure
of conf ort and future security.
Thus, and only thus, may we Sc
cure, not simply loyalty to home,
but the perpetuity of home, inasmuch

ages like as ripple started in the
water goes circling to the farther
shore of the lake.
If the safeguard of the home is the
