where brightness will never end

never intended for any one to be
idle. The more work you do the
sweeter will be your sleep and
brighter and happier your Holt
days. Take of your coat and
make a dust in the world. But we
would not repress your buoyant
spirits or shut you out from all
that is glad and happy in this
beautiful world. We would like
to pass an ordinance for each
neighborhood to have q large
play ground, where the boys
could meet, at least once a week,
and enjoy a holiday. We would
have it just as pleasant az it could
be made, shaded by lovely trees,
plenty of soft grAss to tumble on
and singing birds overhead. This
will be so much nicer for our boys
than lettering on street corners.
We would have the old fashioned
games our grandtathers played
and all modern improvements for
developing the muscles. But, liz

common talk about the beauty and
glory of motherhood, but very lit
tie practical appreciation of the
beauty and glory among the talk
ers. The accepted formulas would
lead one to believe that the whole
thing was a mere exhibition and
enjoyment of loneliness and ten
derness without responsibility, or
work, or WEAKNESS, without a mo-
ment of terror, or agony, or dis
pair. Art has so far taken up the
fancy and helped it forward that
its perpetual presentation of the
motherhood is either the blisful
young being aureoled with hap
piness, and holding her young
babe in her arms, or else the saint
ly old woman who with her silver
hair and serene smile, sits down
for q placid breathing spell at the
end of her journey. But with the
intermediate mother, the real
mother, the mother of many cares,
of constant effort, of daily and
nightly anxieties, neither art nor
poetry occupies itself; and though
her children may some day rise up
and call her blessed, yet for long
and weary years her virtue is her
own reward.

afflicted than we, and SO we may

Do not wrap up all your interest,

Whatever be your disappointment
