CONCERNING FRIENDSHIP.


A certain old book which still
circulates more extensively in the
homes of the people than any
other, and which is noted for the
wisdom and truth of its state
ments, declares that che who
would have friends must show
himself friendly" The truth of
this declaration has been proven
by the experiences of men and
W omen through the passing CEN
turtles.
There is another truth in the
same connection. He who would
never be without friends must not
forget to add to their number with
the passing years. He must keep
a young heart within his breast,
m ust be interested in men and
their movements and must show
that interest by his department
towards others. In this world
m en- are mortal. We are admon-
i shed by the events of life that our
best and dearest friends must pass
on, leaving us behind for a little
" lille, and apt to be a little lonely
unless we can excite the interest
and win the friendship of those
who have more recently come in
contact with our lives.
1t is frequently said that there is
no friends like the old friends.
There is much truth in the saying.
Those who begin life with US, or,
perhaps, are a little older, and
with whom III associations have
been of the most intimate and con-
fdential character can never be
replaced. After the long silence
comes to them we feel lonely. We
lack the assistance, the council
and advice, the sympathetic as
ISOLATION which begun in young
manhood, or events b%oyhood, and
continues for many years. The
old friends can never be forgot
ten. Their mem ories will ever re-
main bright and radient in the in,
ner chamber, where our most sac
red motions and feelings are treas
ured.
Yet the new friends must be
made If we would not come to an
old age of loneliness and neglect.
And they are worth cultivating.
Among the rare pleasures of life
is the opportunity of meeting new
people who prove both interesting
and helpful. The world contains
m any of that sort. Be it our am
bition and our fortune to enter in
to friendly relation with some of
these choice spirits with each pas
sing year.

Great cities almost invariably
grow towards the west. One ex-

is concerned, is that the prevail

Women have been criticised for

Club life in developing woman

Some men. after being married
. few years, imagine that all a
wife needs is a home and three
meals a day, with now and then
some new clothes. And yet dur
1ng the process of winning the
love of that wife he told her he
could not live without her. What
is more, he believedit at that time.
Absence cannot chill a mothers
love or can even itself destroy q
mothers kindness. The lowest
degradations of human frailty
cannot wholly blot out the re-
mem berence of the first fond
yearnings of your affection or the
faint memorial of primeval inno-
cense; nay, it seems as if the very
consciousness of the adject state
OF her erring child more fully de-
veloped the mighty force of that
mysterious passion, which can
forget and forgive all things; and
though the youth of her fairest
hopes may be as n cast of from
God and man, yet she will not for
sake him, but participate in all
things save his wickedness.
You are q wife. The who'll
making or marring of your hus-
band is in your hands. A woman
can seldom be elevated by a man,
but a man seldom fails to rise or
fall to the woman he loves. Home
springs up at your feet like flow
ers at the footsteps of rain and
sunshine in the spring-that is, if
you are the right kind of a wife.
Ten thousand men, however brave
of heart, noble of purpose, true of
character and generous of soul
could not make one home. But
one pure, loving, generous, tact
full and industrious woman can
make a home for a thousand men.
Home making is husband making
and child blessing, and this is the
divine distinction that opens be-
fore you as wife and mother. But

OAKLAND, April I9-lt is
understood that Governor Pardee
will issue a call for a special ses-
sion Of the Legislature to relieve
the distress occasioned by the

1t is necessary, however, that
the call should also embody a
provision for the states assump-
ton OF the water front all along
the east shore of the bay to &C

This is evidently absolutely
necessary, for San Francisco can
not, in its present condition, nor
in fact until it is rebuilt, offer
any accommodations to the com
mcrcc from which the state has
been drawing its revenues.

section available and accessible
TO overland railroads and ocean
