The HOME CIRCLE COLUMN.
Her Monument.

She built il herself and she did not
know that she had monument She
lived in it, but she did not koow that
il existed.
Her monument was her home. IL
grew so quietly, as quietly as a flow
er grows, and no one knew-she did
not know herself how much she had
done to tend and water and train il.
Her husband had absolute trust in
her. He earned the money; she ex-
pended it. And as she put as much
thought in her expenditure as he put
in his earning, each dollar was doubled
in the expanding. She had inherited
that mysterious faculty which we call
taste, and she cultivated it with iidel-
ity. Every home she visited she stu
died, though always unconsciously, as
though it were a museum OF an art
gallery; and from every visit she
brought away some thought which
came out Of her loving imagination iitt-
ing its appropriate place in her own
home She was too genial TO be an
imitator-fOr imitation is always Of
kin To falsehOOd-and she abh0rred
falsehOOd. She was patient with
everything but a lie. So she never
copied in her home or on her person
that she had seen elsewhere; yet every
thing she saw elsewhere entered into
and helped to complete the perfect
picture Of life which she was always
painting with def fingers in every
thing, from the honeysuckle which she
trained over the door, to the b ureau in
the guests room which her designing
made a new mode Of art for every new
friend, if it were only by new nose
gay and a change Of vases. Putting
her own personality into her home,
making every room and almost every
article Of furniture speak Of her, she

home and so make him his truest and
best self Whittier man or woman Of
the world could long resist the subtle
influences Of that home; the warmth Of
its truth and love thawed out the fro
zen proprieties from impersonated Ell
quette, and whatever circle Of friends
sat on the broad piazza in summer or
open fire in winter knew fora time the
rare joy Of liberty-the liberty OF per-
feet truth and perfect love. Her home
was hospitable because her heart was
large; and any one was her friend To
whom she could minister But her
heart was like the old Jewish temple
strangers only came into the court Of
the gentiles, friends into the inner
court her husband and her children
found a court yet nearer her heart Of
hearts; yet even they knew that there
was a holy Of HOLES which she kept
for her God and they loved and reyer-
ed her the more for il. 80 strangely
was commingled in her the exclusive
ness Of love, its hospitality and its re-
serve.

Reflection.

Yes. when we consider that so vast
a number Of our young people, espe-
cially the boys, make such lamentable
mistakes, we are led TO reflect. The
boys; our boys, how soon they become
FESTIVE under the restraints Of home,
and determine to become independent,
and 90 out to mingle with the promis-
cuous crowd, become familiar with
its ways, listen to its oaths, it, songs,
its obscene jests, learn 10 smoke, to
chew, to drink, to gamble, associate
with evil companions and at last
crazed by the devil rum, commit some
act that brings them down 10 shame,
and disgrace falls on those who love
them best.
All who ill our jails and stand be
meath the shadow Of the gallows, have
once stood where you are standing
now. Have you not seen that mother
kneel and heard her pray that you
may walk Alright, and heard that
fathers warning voice bidding you
beware? Every true friend you have
on earth unite to bid you choose Alright.
We hold the mirror up that reflects
the downward course, the fearful end,
and with no motive save for your
good, and no desire but for your future
happiness.

Of this letter. Mr.. Miller,a gentleman
Of Lynchburg, became deeply inter

Andrews that he didn't have much to

what he could do among his friends
and hoped in a few days TO send her
check for 500 There was much
rejoicing among the friends Of the
League when Mr. Miller sent Miss
Andrews about $500.
4 year ago Dr. Winston, one Of the
best friends of the League gave TO il
$50. Within the last few weeks, Mr..

work by the gift Of 500.
A teacher in the Richmond schools
wrote that as long as she held her
position she wanted to be member
Of the Normal League.
By the help Of friends, the League
has been able TO promise help to eight
girls for the coming session. This is a
wonderful advance on what it has
been able to do in the past, five being
the largest number ever helped i'm one

Deserved Tribute.
Dear Mr.. Editor

Dear Mr.. Editor
May be permitted at this late
hour to bear living witness to the
sterling Christian character Of the late
Mr.. Bigler ;. Jamison, Of Cumberland
county, who departed this life early
last month. IL has been my privilege
10 know him intimately for the past
ten years Of his life, and was always
impressed with his gentle loving dis
position, the result Of a simple and
sure trust in God As his Savior, that
manifested itself in his daily contact
with his feliow-men.
1t was his constant aim TO bring up
his children in the fear and admoni-
ton Of the Lord, aud TO be helpful 10
those among whom II had pleased God
TO place him.
His life was an example OF love to
be followed by all those who knew
him
lie leaves a faithful wife, who loves
her husbands God, and seven loving
children whom it ought to be our
privilege 10 assist in Jesus Name.
"Pure religion and undehled before
God and the Father is this, to visit
the fatherless and widows in their
anliction, and 10 keep himself unspot-
ted from the world
Faithfully yours in the Masters
service. GEO. G.. MATCHErr,
Johns Memorial Church.
