!. The Home Circle,

1.-The Home Circ|e...
He is happiest, be he king or peas
ant, who finds peace in his home.
God pardons like q mother, who
kisses the offense into everlasting for
getfulness.
The heart that we have first laid
near is the only one that cannot for
get that it has loved us.
The future of society is in the
hands of the mothers. If the world
Was lost through woman, she alone
can save it.
The love that makes memory happy
and home beautiful is that which
forms the sunlight of our earliest con-
sciousness, beaming gratefully along
the path of maturity, and it's radiance
lingering till the shadow of death
darkens it altogether.

God sends us children for another
purpose than merely to keep up the
race; to enlarge cur hearts; to make
US unselfish and full of sympathies
and affections; to give our souls
higher aims and to call out all our
faculties to extend enterprise and 'ex-
ertion; to bring around our firesides
bright faces and happy smiles and
loving, tender hearts.
In all ages the search for happiness
has seen the ultimate aim and desire
Of human effort-happiness here and
hereafter. To tnose searchers in
every station in life, this column will
ever be beacon light guiding all by
pleasant paths to the true temple of
whence flows those delecta.
BILE streams that refresh the hearts and
rejoice the souls of all who, enter the
quest with pure and reasolute pur-
pose. Happiness is equally attainable
to the poor and the rich, the youth
and the veteran; and the multitudes
have missed the path the Home Circle
Column willslead them back and point
the way by which they may surely
find it. May they in turn extend
loving help to other struggling way
farers on the same journey.
We always know the cheerful man
by his hearty good morning. AS
we'll might fog, aud cloud, and
vapor hope to cling to the sun illu-
mined landscape, as the blues and
moroseness to remain in any counten-
ance when the cheerful one comes
with hearty good morning. Do
not forget to say it. Say it to your
parents, brothers, sisters, playmates.
It costs nothing. Say it cheerfully
and with smile; it will do you good
and do your friends good. There's a
kind of inspiration in every good
morning." heartily and smilingly
spoken that helps to make hope
fresher and WORK lighter. It seems
nearly to make the morning good, and
a prophecy of good day to come
after it. While this is true of the
good morning, !" it is equally true of
all kind, cheerful greetings. They
cheer the discouraged, rest the tired
one, and somehow make the wheels OF
time run more smoothly.
We hope the Home Circle Column
will spur the perplexed youth TO act
the Columbus in his own undiscovered
possibilities; we urge him not to brood
over the past nor dream over the fu.
ture, but to- get bis lesson from the
hour; we should encourage him to
make every occasion great occasion,
for he cannot tell when fate may
take his measure for higher place;
to show him that he must not wait
for his opportunity but make it.
This column tells the round boy how
he must get out Of square hole into
which he had been wedgeu by cir
or mistakes; to help him
find his right place in life; to teach
the hesitating youth that in land
where shoemakers and farmers sit
in congress no limit can be placed to
the career Of the determined youth
who has once learned the alphabet.
The standpoint Of the Home Circle
Column cannot be measured I'M gold
but in character. # 1t should open
