A HAPPY HOME.

| have peeped into quiet parlors
where the carpet is clean and not
old, and the furniture is polished
and bright, into rooms where the
chairs are neat and the floor car
peted, into kitchens where the
family live, and the meals are
cooked and eaten, and the boys
and girls are as blithe and joyous
as the sparrows overhead, and
see tn at it is lot so much wealth,
or learning, or clothes, or servants,
or toll, or idleness, or town, or
country, or station, as tone and
temper that render homes happy

that shall never decay, nor wax

FAITH IN WOMANHOOD.

Henry Ward Beecher once said,
81 think am more grateful to
God for the sense that came to
me through my mother and sisters
OF the substantial integrity, purity
and nobility of womanhood, than
for almost anything else in this
world. After long life 1 can say
that have not lost faith in wo-
men. The longer live and observe
the more chivalric is my regard for
them. | should look upon it as
fatal canker in my soul if fell
from my confidence in the general
trusthworthiness, honesty, honor
and charity of womanhood. There
fore, when l hear young men, or
men in middle life, or old men,
cast gross aspersions on the char
acter of women, l feel as if l were
in den of Kissing serpents. My
soul, come not into communion
with such men; abhor them, pass
by them, for they are themselves
far down in corruption. If | hear
a man speak contemptuous words
of woman, my heart sighs at the
thought that he had a mother
whose memory he insults"

There is vast difference be-
tween house and a home. The
house is but the building and fur
niture, the outward shelter and
gathering place of the household.
The home includes the kindly
family affection, the thoughtful
care and ready sympathy and mu-
tual confidence and trust of the
members. A true home breathes
the atmosphere of love. A child
should be made to feel that his
home is indeed home, the hap
piest place in the world to him;
not merely an outward shelter and
resting place, but a center of en-
Joyment, sanctifed and purified
by love, the thought and remem-
brance of which shall be the safe
guard of his life as he goes forth
into the world, giving strength and
proportion to his character, and
turning his thoughts to all that
may prepare him for the heavenly

Swear off, young men, on guz-
zling beer; the times are hard and
YOU should save; this vile decoc-
ton never gave to any one last

Joke that wounds another's breast
is no more like a jest than yonder
lanterns like star. Swear off on
selfish thoughts and deeds; his
life who lives for self alone is like
a swamp that's that overgrown
with deadly vines and noxious
weeds. Swear. off scowls, that
dark and deep, distort the brows
and draw them down; a smile is
better than a frown, and you will
find it Just as cheap. Swear off on
blowing IN dime for every nickel

mourn and grieve; and swear off
buying things on time. Swear Off

IT. The HonE NEST
Cheerful Evening Reveries for Tired
Mothers

DON'T WORRY.
Whatever you do, don't worry;
IF you fret, the wrinkles will grow;
A bright cheerful smile will trouble be-
guile
And dispel even mountains of woe.
There's nothing so catching as laughter;
1t drives death oft back to its lair;
It acts on the nerves-it good health pre-
And annihilates loads of despair.
Then let it come out when you feel it;
Don't check it, but give it full play;
1t will drive away grief if there's any
around,
And illumne like sunshine your day,
'Tis like silvery moonlight at evening;
1t lights up ife's dark, stormy way
Does good honest laughter, tits that that
we're after
Then let us all give it full play.

The best way to extend charity
to persons who are in need is to
give them work Don't give any
able bodied man penny or a
mouthful unless he works for it.
By this the man retains his self
respect, and the profession of the
tramp is not encouraged. If a
man needs help and is able to work
and you are tempted to give him
something, don't you do it. But
instead, give him work. Odd jobs
can always be found, and set him
at these We do not advice re-
fusing to relieve hunger, but we
do advise that it be done in man
ner that will not breed depend
ence in men. If everyone would
do this all over the land, this
country would soon cease to be
the paradise for tramps that it has
been.

A room without couch of some
sort is half furnished. Life is full
Of ups and downs, and all that
saves the sanity of the mentally
jaded and physically exhausted
forture-hghter is the periodical
"good cry" and momentary loss
of consciousness on the upstairs
lounge or sofa in the sitting-room.
There are times when so many of
the things that distract us could be
Strengthened out, and the way
made clear, if one only had long,
comfortab bic couch on whose soft
bosom he could throw himself,
boots and brains, stretch his
weary frame, unmindtul of tides
and tapestry, close his tired eyes,
relax the tension of his muscles
and give his harassed mind
chance Ten minutes Of this sooth-
ing narcotic, when the head throbs,

less, eternal rest, would make the
vision clear, the. nerves steady,
the heart light and the star Of

THE NEW Y. NJ. c. A.

At meeting to be held next Tues
day evening, the directors of the Y. M.
c. A. will appoint a building committee
to take up the work of plans for the
new home of the Association. Until
this committee gets to work, all plans
carrying details must be regarded as
tentative only. The deal for the Wa
terhouse site next to the public IL
brary remains in its optional state.
In the meanwhile, the effort to Sc
cure the library property is being vi
gorously pressed, with better hopes
than ever of success. The hope of as
sistance to the library by Mr.. Carnegie
has been given a great boost by private
information recently received; and if
this ends well, the Y. M. c. A. will
have no difficulty in getting
the property required. Otherwise there
may be a serious hitch, inasmuch as
the library association has the power
to part with its property for library
purposes only.

STEAMERS THIS WAY.

The Washington Post publishes the
following, which is of particular inter-
est locally for the reason that any
steamer line crossing the Pacific fir m
the Philippines would probably call az
Honolulu:
1T is probable there Will soon be
established new line of steamers from
this country to the Philippines" said
II. M. Miner, of New York city, at the
Arlington.
This will be brought about, if the
line be established, by the recent action
or the Treasury Department which
ruled that in order to enter this coun-
try duty free Philippine products will
nave to be shipped direct or in bond
through foreign territory on their way
here. For instance, the same duty
would have to be paid on merchandise
from Manila transshipped at Shanghai
as on merchandise coming into the
United States from any foreign coun-
try.
This ruling will seriously hamper
the operations of the scores of foreign
owned steamers that have been carry
ing Philippine trade from the islands
to this country, by the way of foreign
ports in the Far East, and is bound to
result in the establishment shortly of
a direct line of steamers from the Phi
ltppines to Africa"

One feature of the attorneys outing

of Hon. Charles f. Johnson of Water
vile at his camp on the shore of Great

game between the Assinines and the
Benines, two teams which were chosen
from the talent present and in which
Augusta figured prominently The per-
sonnet of the teams was as follows:

that 1t was the greatest exhibition Of
the kind that had ever been played on
those. grounds. 1t was\ marked b.
dignity throughout and an occasional
demonstration that led the audience to
believe that some of the participants
had played ball before
That it was close was shown by the
score, 10 to s, which was in favor of the
Assinines, and the ultimate result was
in a great measure due to the efforts ii
the umpires, Herbert M. Heath and
stephen S. Lancaster, who brought I'D
every point of law that could IN any
way aid in winning a score for theit
respective teams.
The features of the game were Hes
elton's long catches and spectacular
slide to THIRD base, the work of Knight
and Titcomb at first base, Fosters two.
rom Heselton and Atkins work at
third base. During the progress of the
game Fisher struck out six men and
Harrington seven.
Umpire Lancaster saved the game
from coming to an abrupt climax over
close decision, by ruling that if joe
Williamson was out on account of a hit
he would give the game to the Benines.
Other features OF the game which
came near being left out owing to the
lateness of the hour, were a three
