BOOKS.

Books are the voices of the distant
and the dead, and makes us heirs of
all ages. Tie true university of these
DAYS is IL collection of books. They
contain the garnered wisdom of all
time BY their means the poorest
man can sit at the feet of the worlds
greatest teachers and learn the les
sons of their noblest love- They are
the windows through which the soul
looks out. A home without books is
like home without windows. Let
as pity those poor rich men who live
barrenly in great bookless houses.
Let u, congratulate the poor that, in
our day, books are SO cheap A IL
brary is not a luxury, but one of the
necessaries of life. Yet how many
homes are splendidly furnished with
everything but books. There are
costly carpets, sumptuous furniture,
tables laden with all the luxulies of
life, everything that will pamper the
body, while the soul is starved for
lack of knowledge. Small wonder
| that persons bred in such surround
ings are dwarfed in mind, narrow in
thought, occupied with petty amuse-
ments or small scandal or silly little
tattle. Books give wings 10 the
soul. They enable it to soar above
the sordid cares of life, to rise into
the eternal sunlight of the hills of
God. Read the writings of the great
poets and sages of our race. Or
Dante and Milton, who reveal the
woes OF the neither world and the
joys,of Paradise; of the myriad min
ded Shakespeare, who ro.trays the
human soul in the great crisis of fate,
who reflects its love and longings,
! its agony and despair; of Tennyson
and Lowell, who voice ife's Hottest
aspirations and clothe in thoughts
that breathe and words that burn
its highest and hottest truths; o
Longfellow and Whittier, with theil
love OF the beautiful, the true and
good. Above all, for both instruc-
tion and Inspirations for guidance in (.
life's lowliest walks. and uplifting in
its highest flight, is the word Of God.
In these divine oracles the most High
reveals his will to man in words so
simple that the little child can under
stand; yet are there in them depths
Of wisdom ~hich the wisest pliloso-
pliers cannot fathom.

THE LABoRER AND THE BUM.

How often in life we see men, who,
by their outword appearance are per-

prominent positions in society simply

industrious ancestor But follow
the lives of these young men for just
a few brief years and see what the
end is. Soon they commence to go

marked and blackened by deeds of
atrocity and crime that today form

sHouLp 4 WINE WORK.?

A correspondent asks the question
Should wife work." He intimates
that the Home Circle Department is
partial to the fair sex and thinks we
ought to hit the wives as severe licks
as we do the husbands we agree with
our correspondent, SO here we go:
Yes, certainly a wife should work.
Ever since Eve inveigled Adam 10
eat that Ben Davis apple, her daugh-
tiers have been doomed to toll But
some men are unreasonable about a
wife's work They want her to chop
all the wood when they could save
her lots of hard labor by buying u
sharp saw for her. She can easily
be taught to file the saw and keep it
in good order. We know man who
makes his wife get up and curry the
mules before she gets breakfast. This
is wrong. She should get breakfast
first, as she is not SO apt to shed
mule hairs in the butter. Horse
hairs are bad enough but mule hairs
afe an abomination.
AHcic 10 SIcdJ ucdl III properly
training wife. She should be taught
to mix her bread sponge with pad
die. Ii she uses her hands it is apt
to make them tender and incapaci-.
tate her to some extent from using a
brush scythe effectuaIly. She should
also be taught to split her kindling
and get it in at night, especially in
the winter. If she has to hunt around
in the dark before the sun is up for
kindling it is apt to make her cross
all day. We hope our correspondent
who charges us with being partial to
the fair sex will paste this in his hat
and also send us an apology.

OUR GIRLS AND BOYS. l..

We wonder if every mother who
reads this department is particular
enough about keeping her girls, and
not letting them fill their heads with
nonsense about love and marriage,
when we see, as we do too often on
our best streets, in the residential
sections, young girls of twelve and
fourteen hanging about the walks
and street corners after dark even
up to nine and ten at night, we sigh
for the good old laws about the cur
few bells and wish the legislature
would atone for the lack of sense in
mothers by enacting them over
again
Young girls who are allowed to 90
on the streets alone or with other com
panions after dark, have every ex.
cuse for going wrong" and can
scarcely be blamed if they make mis-
steps. We are almost tempted to
say we do not pity their mothers as
we should 1t is not safe. No mat
ter how quiet and respectable the
street, there are always prowler
after dark, and no young girl is safe.
We will go farther and say no boy
is safe either. The right kind oil
mother keeps her boy indoors al
night and provides him with books
and games and company and music
to make his life gay enough so that
he will not sigh for the glitter of the
street. To be sure it is a little mors
work to guard the children like that
but it is work that yields the best
kind of dividends.
Another thing; don't let them gel
their heads filled with nonsense about
''best girls and best fellows. Be
sides being positively silly, this kline
of talk is positively harmful ASK
any doctor and he will tell you that
trouble oftenest begins that way
We could talk very eloquently or
this subject, if we could have YOU
private ear, but we hope we have
said enough to set you thinking, i
you have not already thought.

The queen who sits upon the throne
of home, crowned and sceptered as
none other ever can be, is mother.
Her enforcement is complete, her
reign unrivalled, and the moral is
sues of her empire are eternal. Her
children arise up and call her bles-
sed. Rebellious, at times, as the
subjects of her government may he,
she rules them with marvellous pa-
thence, winning tenderness and un
dying love. She presents and exem-
plifies divine truth, that it reprodu
ces itself in the happiest development
of childhood, character and life. Her
memory is sacred while she lives, and
becomes q perpetual inspiration.
even when the bright flowers bloom
above her sleeping dust. Scotland.
with her well known reverence for
motherhood, insists that an ounce
of mother is worth Il pound of cler-
-gy. The ancient orator bestowed a
tiattering compliment upon the homes
of Roman mothers when he said,
The empire is at the fireside." Who
can think of the influence a mother
yields in the home, and not be i'm
pressed with its far-reaching resultsl
Mohammed expressed q great truth
when he said Paradise is at the feet
of mothers. " There IS one vision
that never fades from the soul, aud
that is the vision of mother ard
home. No man in all his weary wan
behring's, ever goes out beyond the
overshadowing arch of home. Let
him stand on the surf beaten coast OF
the Atlantic. or roam over the wes-
tern wilds. and every dash of the
wave and murmur of the breeze will
whisper Home. sweet home" Set
him down amid the glaciers of the
north, and even there thoughts OF
home, too warm to be chilled by the
eternal frosts, will float in upon him.
Let him rove through the green,
waving groves and over the sunny
slopes of the south, and in the smile
of the soft skies, and in the kiss OF
tire balmy breeze, home will live
again.
