Influence is power we sxer: over
others by our thought, words and
actions. We all of us at times lose
sight of this principle, and apparent
w act on the assumption that what
we do or think or say can affect nc
one but ourselves. But we are so
connected with the immortal beings
around US that we cannot avoid ex
erting most important influence O
yer their character and final condi-
tions. Since we all have a personal
influence and our words and actions
leave well nigh lndellible trace, it
is our duty to make that influence as
potential for good as possible. In or
der to do this you must show your
self woman among ALL How great
a beauty and blessing it is to hold
the royal gifts of the soul, so that
they shall be music to some and ira
GRANGE to others and life to all! Some
women cling to their homes like the
honeysuckle over the door, yet, like
it. sweeten all the region with the
subtle fragrance of their goodness.
oh. it is terrible the power that
we have; the power of influence. No
thought to us is more rife with a
solemn grandeur of interest than
that viii III relates to the influence
we are silently exerting upon our
fellow creature. We rtssd that not
in the earthquake that shook the
mountain pillars. nor in the whirl-
wind that rent the forest was God
found; but in the still small voice,
which like the whisper OF love breaths
into the heart what the loud voice
cannot.

Time has scattered the snowy
flakes on her brow, plowed burrows
in her cheekS-but is she not sweet
and beautiful now? The lips which
have kissed many hot tears from the
childish cheeks are the sweetest lips
in all the world. The eye is dim, yet
it glows with the rapt radiance of a
holy love which can never fade. Oh,
yes she is a dear old mother. Her
sands of time are nearly run out, but
feeble as she is she will 90 farther
and reach down lower for you than
will any other on earth. You can
not walk into midnight where she
cannot see you; you cannot enter
prison whose bars shall keep her
out; you cannot mount Scaffold so
high for her to reach and bless you.
In evidence of her deathleSs love,
when the world shall despse and for
sake you-when it leaves you by the
wayside to die unnoticed-th dear
old mother will gather you up in her
feeble arms, carry you home and tell
you of your virtues until you almost
forgot that your soul is disfgured by
vices. Love her tenderly and cheer
her declining years with holy devo-
ton.

a bone where happiness reigns is
u wealth more to be envied than the
great riches of a nation. Riches are
not essential to happiness, but the
most happy and contented homes are
those in which poverty is associated.
And yet It's sad that so many homes
where everything that is needed, or
can be purchased with money seems
plentiful, should be filled with dis
cord and unpleasantness, its inmates
going abroad to seek pleasure, where
they are surrounded by numberless
evils and temptations.

Do not forget and abandon all
neighborIy courtesy and pleasant in
tercourse with friends. Man is a So
cial animal, especially woman. A
woman needs friends, companions,
conversation, sympathy and neigh
boriy visitings to and fro. All work
and no play make a dull woman. Let
her visit her friends, and receive
them in her home, that her heart
may be lightened and frightened by
an interchange of thoughts and feel
ings. Be neighborly. be obliging, be
kind and courteous, and then when
sorrow and sickness come you will
have sympathy and help.

To make home more agreeable and
attractive than other places to its
inmates requires the utmost care and
thOughtfulness on our part in regard
to the welfare of others, which we
must practice daily, and as there is
pleasure derived from doing ones
duty, we render our own paths more
pleasant through life by assisting in
smoothing the rough ones of others.
In the home should be found the
most delicate and refined society, rs
here it is that we receive our first
and most influential lessons in the
great school of life. These lessons
should partake of perfect honesty
truthfulness. manhood, heroism, pa
triotism and all things that tend to
elevate the human character.

Is it worth while, because you feel
out of sorts, to pull long face, to be
disagreeable and cross to every one
you meet and so make them unhap-
Ply? a Cheerful, smile, a kind word
will not only make your friends and
neighbors lighter hearted, but will
help to cheer you also A cheerful
countenance is duty we owe TO our
neighbors and how much more is it
necessary in the home! Our friends
can get out of our way if we are not
good companions, but GU" family can
not They are helpless victims, shut
up in the same house with us. For
the sake of the children, for the sake
Of the elders, for the sake of all hu-
