her daughters are but genteel
loungers in the household. The
work which could be SO easily and
quickly done il each bore share,
is left for the hands already weak
ened by heavy burdens, and at last
the poor household drudge dies at
her post, she is remembered with
pity not unmixed with contempt be-
cause she resigned the post of ruler
Of the household to become it's
slave, and her daughters are left to
ruin other homes with idleness and
Ignorance. But there are no such
daughters among Laclede house
holds.
10 the true man or woman there
can be nothing more agreeable on
earth than the business Of home
making; and all who are not home
makers miss the best part of their
mission in life. Whoever makes a
home, in the best sense of the word,
is read benefactor to the race; for
every true home is the abode of
joy, peace, happiness and security
to these that share in it, and exerts
an influence that is incalculable for
the amelioration of the whole hu-
man family. Many prodigal has
been led by the thought of home,
and the makers of his own particu-
lar home, to repent of his sins and
to change his course in life; and
many an unfortunate one has been
saved in the evil hour from suicide,
or worse, by the tender recollections
of home, fond mothers prayers,
an indulgent fathers counsels, or a
sisters or brothers tenderness.
Yes, whoever helps TO. make a
true home confers d benefit on man
kind that no man can fully esti-
mate. Indeed, the influence of the
true home for good is absolutely IN
calculable, and reaches many even
that never enters its inner circle.
Simply to get glimpse of it is to
receive an impulse toward better
things, to obtain a more exalted
view of life, and to feel an access of
faith in God and in the immortali-
y Of the human soul. It is like a |
vision Of the glories Of the New
Jerusalem and the everlasting habi-
;ations, and no one can be wholly
,ad who has seen such things.
No boy, no girl, can ever come to
,e utterly bad who remembers only |
owe and tenderness and sweetness'
is associated with father and moth
II in the old-time home. Give them
manly and womanly example, give
hem training, give them the in
piration of devoted lives, give
hem these higher, deeper things.
10 not care so much as to whether
on are accumulating money, so
hat you can leave them fortune. II
We really believe that the chances
re against that being a blessing
Or boy. But leave them an ac-
fortune of memories and
aspirations and examples and
opes, so that they are rich in brain
nd heart and soul. Then if you ,
appen to leave them a fortune be-
des, if they have all these, the
,rtune viii be shorn of its possi-
lIities of evil. and will become an
Istrument of higher and nobler .
pod.
