The Others Heart
BY "WILKIE.

How oft do we stop to think of the
other hearts we are treading upon as
we stalk through this life careless
and Indifferent to the loved ones a.
round US. Man do you ever think Of
that good noble woman you so much
admired once in your life? who 1t
seemed held every heart string Of
your manly breast but since has be-
come 30 common that it is only the
Old Lady now; DO you know that
heart today feels the awful careless
ness in you, do you ever tell her as Of
yore how you love her? how dear she
is to your How you would miss her
were she gone. DO you think of
her at Christmas time with a little
token, only to be thought Of? re-
membered not cast aside that's all
1t is not the costly present, the dis
play of wealth. She only wants you
to let her feel that you love her and
remember her a woman What are
you doing to make your home the
most pleasant place upon earth for
your husband when lie comes home
tired and undone, do you put your
arms around HIM and tell him you
are sorry he has such hard work TO
dol DO you get the very best easy
chair for him, a drink of water, or
nice warm dinner? DO you smoothe
back the hair from that careworn fore
head, and place a kiss saying Sim
sorry for you dear all these and
thousands more little affections too
dear to throw away can be used to
make happy heart in that husband
aud a feeling of content, a welcome
at home, sad but true not felt in all
homes. Boys:-What are you doing
to make that father and mother proud
of you? They have lavished upon
you their fondest hopes, nothing
they failed to do for your welfare,
How are you paying them? BY COM
ing home beastly drunk? BY spend
ing your time in an clubhouse, gam
bling away the spare change your
father gave your Keeping company
with women who make your sainted
mother bury her face for shame and
spend her nights praying for you and
shedding tears over you when she
needs the rest due her after a days
hard work trying to make something
for you, to keep you from the hard
ships of life. We would ask you to
stop right here, and think of the
hearts you are so ruthlessly treading
upon. Oh how much they love you,
and how little you care for them.
Boysl what about that dear little
sister who think so much of her broth
ers, there is nothing sweeter than
that young tender heart, love for a
brother, they lavish all on brother.
Now, brother, be careful about this
poor little heart? can she say my
brothers are noblest of Gods crea-
lures. Do you ever come home with
your breath tainted with that curse
liquor with faultering step with eyes
all Redeemed. Oh! how that poor
little heart sinks within her, how can
she bear such reproach upon that
dear brother, the very idol of her
heart. How about the company you
keep for you sister sake, do you
think she cares to see you come to
church or leave it with some one be-
meath the dignity of good people,
thus dragging her to level with the
brothers company. God forbid boys
you are what you want to be, you
can be the life, the happiness of the
father, mother and sister, or you can
drag them down to shame and dis
grace, which will you be? If you
have done wrong and caused these
heart-aches IN you family, just stop
and think, to continue, continues the
heart-aches, to quit mends the broken
hearts and makes life a plseaure, in
stead of a hell. Girls what do you
do for your parents to make them
happy? are you obedient and kind2
