The truest, best and sweetest type of the girl of today does not come from the home of wealth, she steps out from the house where is comfort rather than lux. ury. She belongs to the great middle class, that class which has given us the best wifehood, which has given helpmates to the fore most men of our time; which teaches its daughters the true meaning of love; which teaches the manners of the drawing room and the practical life of the kitch- en as we'll as teaches its girls the responsibilities of wifehood.

will be no neglect and harshness to haunt you in after years. Your little ones will die and go hence with your words and spirits plant ed in their eternal nature. Sons and daughters will go from you into the great world, to live as you have taught them, to be strong or weak according to the spirit you have engrafted upon them. How you will yearn for them whether living or dead. How sweet or how bitter will be the days when they prattled about you in the home from which they have gone forever! So live with them and train them now that when they are gone you and they can look back on the past with thankfulness and not regret.

HONOR THY MOTHER.

Honor the dear old mother. Time has scattered the snowy flakes upon her brow, plowed deep furrows on her check, but is she not beautiful now? The lips are thin and shrunk, but those are the lips that have kissed away many hot tear from the childish cheeks and they are the sweetest lips in the world. The eye is dim, yet it glows with soft radiance of holy love that can never fade. Oh yes yes she is a dear old mother. The sands of time are nearly run out, but feeble as she is, she will go farther and reach down lower for you than any other on earth. You cannot walk into midnight where she cannot enter, prison where bars will keep her out, you can never mount a scaffold too high for her to reach and bless you with her deathless love. When the world shall despise and for sake you, when it leaves you by the wayside to die unnoticed, the dear old mother will gather you in her feeble old arms and carry you home and tell you of all your virtues until you almost forgot that your soul is disfgured by vice. Love her tenderly and cheer her declining years with holy devotion.

It will be very awkward for you to be obliged to reap that crop one of these days; and if you marry him you will have the most of it to gather in.
 Don't marry a man whose linen is more spotless than his character, whose shirtcollar is more infexible than his integrity, and whose neck tie is the only immaculate thing about him. Collars and cuffs and neck-ties are all very well; but they do not make up a good hus- band, tho they do very we'll on 8 tailor's dummy. Integrity of character is as much more import ant than these things as a man is of more importance to the world than a dude.

MATRIMONIAL DONT'S.

Don't marry the young man who leaves his mother to find her way home as best she can on a dark night, while without thot or word of apology to the old lady, he looks after you. One of these days when the novelty is worn off, he will leave you to go alone as best you can, while he seeks his enjoyment at the club.
 Don't marry man who curls a scornful lip when religion and the Bible are spoken of, and who has all the mistakes of Moses and the misdeeds of Solomon on his tongues end. A copy of Inger- sols lectures on his parlor table, instead of the family Bible, is a very poor guarantee of happy family life.
 Don't marry a man whose friends smile at each other when his name is mentioned, and say, "Well, we hope he will come out all right, but he is sowing few wild oats now" Remember that what is sown before marriage, is often reaped after marriage.

Did you ever know a woman to regret that she knew how to do ex- quisite fine needle-work or plain sewing, to bake light, wholesome bread, or delicious pies or cakes7 Did you ever know one who was ashamed of her skill in picking and preserving, or who was un- willing to admit that she could ar- range a table, order a course din- her, and if need be, do the cook ing herselff No, indeed, but many a woman has spent years in trying to acquire the knowledge of household affairs of which she should have been mistress before she was fairly in long dresses. The mother who fails to instruct her daughter in such branches de- frauds her of woman's best right, the right to a knowledge of how to make a home. Perhaps only a home for herself, but, oh, how pretty and pleasant it can be if the tact, the skill, the grace of 8 trained hand and eye and taste are there to bring it into perfect sym metry.
