THE OLD HOMESTEAD.

So surely as the years roll onward
that home In which you now dwell
will be gone, the property will be
turned over into other possession; you
yourself will be in other relationships,
and that home, which only a few
years ago, was full Of c,ngratulation,
will be ext!nguished When that pe-
rioi comes you will look back to see
what you did do or neglected to dc in
the way OF making home happy. If
you did not SIN 9th the path Of your
parents toward the tomb; il you did
not make their last days bright and
happy; IL you allowed your younger
brother to go out into the world un-
hallowed by Christian and sisterly in
lluences; If you allowed the younger
sisters Of your Home Cir:le to come up
without feeling that there had been a
most worthy example set them son
your part, there will be nothing but
bitterness OF lamentation. That bit
terness will be increased by all the
surroundings of that home; by every
coair, by every picture, by the ole
time mantel ornaments, by every
thing you can think Of as conn c.e
with that home. Young woman,
have you anything to do in the way
OF making your fathers home happy? =?
Now is the time to attend to it, or
leave it forever undone. Time is
flying very quickly away. We sup.
pose you notice the wrinkles are
gathering and accommodating on
those kindly faces that have SO long
looked upon you; there is frost

its step as it used to be, and they will
soon be gone. The heaviest clod that

Dear grandma gently rocks,
And knits her daughters baby boy

But sometimes grandma shuts her eyes
And sings the softest lullabies.
Across her face the happy smiles
All play ut hide and seek,
And kiss the faint and faded rose
That fingers OH her cheek,
While thoughts too sweet for words arise
When dear grandma shuts her eyes.
Yet, sometimes, pictures in her face

And then perchance he softly sighs

And those she knew in grlhood's years

And sweet old songs fecbly tries

The while the smiles would all about

chestnut burs on wild rose bush, but
occasionally, if you are an observanL
boy or girl, You will discover some big
round, green growth surrounding the
stalk of the fragrant sweet briar, that
on account of their dense covering Of
spiny ''prickles" look very much like
burs. But inside you will find that the
resemblance ceases, for instead of a
shining trio of fat brown nuts, you will
find series of compact little cells where
in are curled up, each mite in COM
partment of its own, number of small
white larvae. They secure sufficient
amount of nourishment from the walls
OF their tiny chambers, which are COM
posed of succulent matter.
Now when you have discovered that
this funny growth is not the fruit of the
sweet-smelling pink rose you will be in

home of small insect family. In the

An inquiring and aspiring person
once asked Beaconsfield to tell him
the secret of social success. Never
discuss the authorship Of the Letters
of Junius," was the reply.
Beaconsfeld's latest biographer, Mr..
Wilfrid Meynell, adds something posi-
tive to this witty negative rule for
getting on in this world. A distin.
guished member of parliament begged
the Victorian statesman to tell his
young son something to remember;
something that would help to make
him an agreeable and popular member
of society.
Beaconsfield hedged. "Model your
self after your father" he said to the
lad.
This was not entirely satisfactory,
and the M. P. insisted upon a definite
rule of conduct.
"Well. my boy" said Beaconsfeld.

They came now to the gate of the
stockade, and there Pembroke stood
for moment in surprise and perplex-
ity. He was not prepared to meet this
dark-haired. wide-eyed girl, clad in
metals at wrist and ankle, and on her
feet the tiny, beaded shoes. For her
part, Mary Connynge, filled with
woman's curiosity, was yet less pre-
pared for that which appeared before
her-an apparition, as ran her first
thought, come to threaten and alright.

Her eyes stared in terror, and beneath
her dark skin the blood shrank away
and left her pale. She recoiled from

instinctively the babe that lay on her
arm.
Sir Arthur bowed, but found no
word. He could only look questioning
