Some Evening Reveries.

governments, if one would have
them flourish, must have their roots
beneath it's altar. Let no wife who
would be loved, honored and happy
forget that home duties must ever
stand first. No matter what high
ambitious aspiration may have i'm
pressed her before marriage, OF
how high she may be conscious her
talents and influences are capable
OF reaching, when that solemn vow
is taken that makes the twain one
for better or se''-before
all else, she must give all the ener-
gy and love she possesses to build
ing a perfect home, and she must
never lose sight of this high voca-
tion. She must be it's mistress but
never it's slave. That she has made
it immaculate in cleanliness and re-
splendent in beauty is not enough
She must feed the love and truth
which should unitedly govern it.
What power or dignity can reach
higher? What is the ability to
sway large audiences over a home
with such skill that husband and
children shall rise up and call her
blesseds To be the ruling spirit in
such a position is a more sacred
honor than to rule an empire.
Woman's rights!" Has man any
higher or more noble? And when
husband and wife see eye to eye
and heart to heart, one in the inter-
ests of home, they have reached as
near perfection as we are allowed
to hope for while on earth.
You look at the housewife who
has place for her things, and
these things in their places, and
you find woman who is systematic
in her work; and when she needs
she can put her hands on
it in a moment. She plans and
calculates whenever there is to be
extra work, extra cooking, extra |
ETC., and she knows be-
forehand just what there is to do, |
and what she wants to do it with. |
Her work moves along like clock
work, and when the clock strikes
;welve she is ready to put the vic
;uals on the table. The men are
lot hindered-they eat and get out
If the way, and her work goes on
to programme, and no.
oody's time is wasted by her pro-
rastination. She is on time, the
,lory of her husband, the beloved
# her children, the admired of all
Who know her. And this same
so exact in her doings,
,ets more time to rest and
cad and instruct her children in
he paths of right and the social
uties they owe to all. Ladies, we
ope you are of this class receiving
he blessings of your husband, and
ne praise of all who know you. {
Poverty is uncomfortable, but +
inc cases out of ten. the best
hing that can happen to young
ian is to be tossed overheard and ,
to swim for himself or
nix.
Boys, do not forget that profan- C
y is a mark of low breeding. \
how us the man who commands h
le best respect; an oath never \
embles on his tongue. Read the
dialogue of crime. Inquire into -
e character of those who depart h
om virtue. Without a single ex- q
ntion you will find them to be .
Ofane. Truth is one of the rar- ti
t gems. Many a youth has been
st to society by allowing it to i;
rniSh and fooIishly throwing il
