ing to man than to go home with
something on his mind he wants to
scold about, and find company there,
and be obliged to act agreeably.
There is no fault so hard to over
come at the hasty temper. We may
make any number of good resolutions,
and then the first time we have any
provocation away we go without an
instant's warning and before we real
ize what we are doing the unkind
words have been spoken, and no mat
ter how much regret we feel they
cannot be unsaid.
Let our homes be places of love, Joy
and brightest sunshine, places of en-
during love that ou.lasts the wedding
day, and which produces a life of one
long unbroken honeymoon, the mold
ing place Of character. a place where
the child breathes an atmosphere per-
fumed by the choicest flowers of heay-
en-, where it finds the greatest earthly
security in mothers loving, fostering
care.
There is nothing more convenient
for the lonely dwellers of the rural
districts as we'll as for the more citi-
fed inhabitants of a town than than
the telephone. 1t is really a most
obedient and faithful servant, ready
to carry your important or unimport-
ant message without a murmur. 1t
brings and keep practically the butch
er, the baker, the candlestick maker
as well as the doctor, the preacher
and the merchant at your door.
There is only villinous denominations
in the doctrine that leads creature,
called by courtesy man. to announce
that transfer of his affections war
rants breach of loyalty and deser-
tions of one who has become his wife
and the mother of his children. No
guise Of prophecy can cover so vile a
principle; no charm of poetry gild so
hateful a treason, and the breath of
perdition is on the lips of all such as
advocate anything else than loyalty
to wifehood and manhood.
Thara aro a tbouSond pratty annor
ing little ways, which every person
may put on without running the risk
of being deemed affected or foppish.
The sweet smiles, the cordial bow, the
earnest movement in addressing a
friend, the inquiring glance, the grace
full attention which is no captivating
when united with self-possession-
these will insure us the good regards
of even a churl. Above all, there is a
certain softness of manner which
should be cultivated. and which, in
either man or woman, adds a charm
that almost entirely compensates for
lack of beauty, and inestimably en-
hances the latter where it does not
exist.
Children are very observanr and
even the tiny little ones notice the
difference between the smile and the
frown on the parents face. Year by
year, as children grow older, and the
souls, minds and hearts begin to ex-
pand under the influence of the en-
vironments, sensitive children usually
cultivate unconsciously the mothers
disposition. The child will be sad and
melancholy if the mother sighs and
complains. If the child is independ-
ent and self-reliant often under such
circumstances it will become stub
born and defiant. When the child
leaves the childhood behind and be-
comes a young man or woman then
the evil effects of the sad mother be-
comes still more apparent.

1t is in the home that women rises
to her truest heights and wields her
widest influence. Every home is a
miniature world and the wife is a
crowned queen. The wife who makes
society the field of her accomplish
ments soon finds her husband de-
voted club man. The woman who fills
her head with many of the ideas and
pleasures of much that is called So
ciety, soon wants to entertain her hus-
band any evening she may not have
some other engagement with cards
She plays just as she did to win some
prize at progressive euchre or whist
parties. She cheats little. and they
have little spat oyer it, and then an
other and another, and presently she
fires something at his head, but miss
es it and hits the motto oyer the door
"God Bless Our Home" There LITTLE
boy says: INA, you missed pas head
but you gave the motto hail Colum
