PEACE AT HOME.

PEACE AT HOME.
~ know by the smoke that SO gracefully
curled
near,
the world,
A heart that is humble might hope for IL
there.
1t is just as possible to keep a
calm house as a clean one, a cheer
full house as a warm one, If the
heads sets themselves to do so.
Where is the difficulty of consult
ing each others weaknesses as
we'll as each others wants; each
others tempers as well as each
others health; each others COM
fort as we'll as each others char
acter; Peace rules the day when
reason rules the mind Oh! it is
by leaving the peace at home to
chance, instead of pursuing it by
system that so many houses are
unhappy. 1t deserves notice, al
so, that almost anyone can be
courteous and forbearing and pa
tient in a neighbours house. If
anything goes wrong or is out of
tune, or disagreeable there, it is
made the best of, not the worst;
even efforts arc made to excuse it.,
and to show that it is not felt, or,
if felt, it is attributed to accident.
not design; and this is not only
easy but natural, in the house of q
friend. l will not, therefore, be-
lieve what is so natural in the
house of another, is impossible at
home, but maintain, without fear,
that all the courtesies of life may
be upheld in domestic society, a
husband as willing to be pleasant
at home, and as anxious to please
as in a neighbours house, and a
wife as intent on making things
comfortable every day in her FAM
lily, as on set days to her guests,
could not fail to make home hap
Ply. Let US not invade the point
of these remarks by recurring to
the maxim by allowing for tenn
per. 1t is worse than folly to re-
fer to our temper, unless we could
prove that we ever gained any
good by giving way to it. Fits of
illhumor punish us quite as much,
If not more, than those they are
vented upon, and it actually re-
quires more effort and inflicts more
pain to give them up than would
be requisite to avoid them"
Then
'Since tribes make the sum of human
things,
And half our misery from our foibles spring!
Since life's best joys consist In peace and
And though but few can serve. yet all may
please
oh, let the u~ngentle spirit learn from hence
A small unkindness is great offense."

mon decency tells us that only the
best and good enough for mother
that her devotion, which sur
passes all other love, is deserving
of the deepest respect aud affec-
ton, and that to forget her is the
blacklist and basest crime that
man a commit. Mothers are
love incarnate, and because love
is the highest thing a man may
know, and the most precious gift
a man or woman may receive, he
who disregards or woundsi it is the
lowest and most despicable of
created things.
Have we not all seen young
girls wounding the very soul of
love by disregarding a mothers
council and by refusing to share
the burden of housekeeping with
the tired mother? Have we not
known young men who wrung the
mother heart by rudeness or by
dissipation or by neglect?
Every mother should take the
time and the money to keep her.
self and her children neatly and
becomingly dressed. 1t is espec-
tally necessary that children
should be taught both by precept
and example the value of dress.
In childhood habits are formed.
The children who are accustomed
to seeing their mother with her
hair becomingly arranged and q
pretty gown, and who are them
selves compelled while young to
pay attention to little details of
cleanliness and dress; will never
grow up into sl~atternly men and
women.
-
From the cradle to the grave it
is the lot of. humanity to follow
phantoms that elude the grasp.
The little child catches at the sum
beams gliding the floor; he opens
his tiny hand expecting to behold
a bright treasure, but it is mot
there. He learns only by repeat
ed disappointments they have no
tangible form. Such are life's
scenes. Change and disappoint-
ments are written on every page
of times book. Life, however,
has many sunny spots, but they
who seek happiness only from the
world find but few of them. The
desolate soul, looking upon this
evil and that, must, like Noah's
dove, be forced to return into it's
ark of safety.
Bow low the head, do reverence
to the old man, once like you.
The vicissitudes of life have sill
vered his hair and changed the
round merry face to the worm vis-
age before you. Once the heart
beat with aspirations, crushed by
disappointment as yours, perhaps,
is destined to be. Once that form
stalked proudly through gay
scenes, the beau ideal of grace,
now the hand of time, that withers
the flower of yesterday, has bent
that figure and destroyed that
noble carriage. Once, at your age,
he possessed the o u s a n d
thoughts that pass through your
brain, nov wishing to accomplish
deeds equal to a nook in fame;
anon imigining life a dream that
the sooner he wakes from it the
better. But he has lived the dream
very rear through, the time to
awaken is very neal at hand; his
eye never kindles at old deeds of
daring; and the hand takes q
firmer grasp of the staff. Bow low
the head, boy a q you would in
your old age be reverenced.

A County Fair.

It was rainy day In the country. and
sometimes a rainy day can be as dreary
as a lecture for doing something you did
not dol II this has ever happened to you,
you know just how dreary that is Well,
there were four of them. and though they
had very pretty names like Beatrice and
Kenneth, they preferred calling themselves
Jack and jill and Robin and Jenny. be-
cause they thought these names fitted the
farm where they were staying better than
the others.
.sWhat shall we do? What shall we dog"
each kept asking the other. The rain pat
tered down on the roof of the old garnet
which was their playroom, and swished
against the little diamond panes in the cor
ner windows.
At last Jack. the younger of the two
boys, said. ''Goodness ALI the folks who
went to the county fair today must be
having worst time of 1t than wei"
This gave Robin an idea and he said:
Lets have a county fair of our own"
but, howl" asked the others
Robin explained hurriedly, and away
they all scampered down the ladder, soon
returning with -four paste. q lot OF card
board boxes ana several pairs OF scissors.
In the corner of the garnet was pile of
old agricultural papers, with pictures OF
horses, cows, chickens. dogs, sheep and
pigs. All were cut out neatly and pasted
on the cardboard with lips left at the feet
to bend back so that the animals could
stand. Fences. stalls, pig sites. poultry

course, 1t was all a story that he had told
the fox of his having caught his crawfish
In that manner.
Old Fox, however, was not so well ac-
quainted with the pranks of his tricky
cousin and readily believed all that had
been told him. He hurried to find the
place where the little airholes were in the
ice. He was not greatly pleased to note
when he came to the place that 1t was
under the north side of the hill and right
where the freezing wind had clear sweep.
Thinking, however, only of the nice lot of
fish that he would catch, he soon decided
on which one of the airholes would be the
best He put his tail into 1t, squatted him

patience. licked his chops at the imaginary

was not toilette. but it was her friends,
the fairies OF the wood. Eagerly he fol-
lowed the singing voices till they led him
to large rock in the wood and there,
beautiful and lovely as ever was Toilette.
Only the dreamy stirring of the pine trees
broke the silence of that meeting And
they fingered there, exchanging vows again,
sure that some day would see their hopes
fulfilled. Suddenly there came sharp
sound, there was angry exclamation,
and there before them stood the seigneur.
Behind him were armed followers. ready

for a moment but that he would catch a
finer lot of fish than his cousin, for had not
that cousin himself said that hts brush was
longer. thicker and better In every respect
than his own. 1t was not great While
until what with the bitter wind and wealth
err that the water in the airholess began
freezing and as 1t did so the twings and
pulls at his tail caused by the ice freezing
around 1t led him to think that goodly
lot of crawfish were fastening themselves
to 1t. He was quite jubilant and said to
himself:
I'll just wait until there is a great many
of them there before I'll jump Cousin
Coon thought that l would not have the
patience to do this, but I'll show him that
I can beat him at his own game. - So the
old fellow waited on and on until his tall
was fast frozen in the Ice.
At last he thought that there must be
dozens of crawfish fastened to his tail since
it was beginning to pull not little; and
remembering his cousins last words, Ito
leap high" he gave mighty spring, only
to suffer a dreadful wrench to his tail and
to fall back on the Ice GREATNESS and

and then the truth dawned upon him, that
he had been tricked by his rascally cousin
To tell you how angry he was l will not

him back for this If I get out with whole
or a half of my poor tail.
After making several vain EFFORTS to re-
lease himself from the uncomfortable
scrape that he was in and causing thereby
only severe pain TO himself, he happened
to glance toward one OF the larger air
holes under the river bank and saw dark
muzzle and some peering eyes gazing Won
deringiy at him.
"Oh, Uncle Beaver he cried. Can you
not help me out of this great trouble that
has befalien meY'
Old Fox then related the whole story of
the coon's trickery. Uncle Beaver listened
quietly to the poor fellows troubles, and
trying very hard to smother a grin which
seemed determined to come. he darted I'M
der the water and swan out under the ice
below the fox.
He worked for some little time and finally
succeeded In loosening the Old Fox's tail
from the frozen airhole. He then bobbed
up to the surface again and told the fox
that he thought that he could now pull
up his fshline. He cautioned the fox that

reason that there might not be any one
around to help him out at another time.
Old Fox listened attentively to this good
advice and thanked his wise old uncle. He
wished to do something whereby the great
service that had been done for him might
always be remembered. so he scraped UP a
handful OF the soft, light snow which COW
cred the ice around them and carefully
rubbing 1t over the fur around Uncle Beav-

the rest.
Again thanking his uncle he trotted sadly

a way to play even with Cousin Coon for
the beggarly trick that he had put upon
