Sensible Wife And Mother.

A lady received the following
reply from a neighbor in answer
to question why she allowed her
children and husband to litter up
every room in the house and the
sentiment will find lodgment in
the heart of every home loving
person in the land: The mark
of the little muddy feet upon the
floor can be easier removed than
the stains when little feet go into
the highways of evil. The prints
of the little fingers upon the
window pane can not shut out the
sunshine half so much as shadow
that darkens the mother s heart
over the one who is but name in
the coming years. And if my
John finds his home refuge from
care and his greatest happiness
within its four walls he can put
his boots in the rocking chair and
hang his coat on the floor every
dav in the week. And if ! cal
stand it and he enjoys it can not
see that it is anybody else's bust
ness,
