Some Evening Rsverios.

of the contracting pair. In nine
cases out of ten he has married a
woman great deal too good for
him; he has (speaking of the lot of
the great majority Of wOmen)
gained a house-keeper, cook,
seamstress, laundress, and in later
married life a nurse and governess;
he has gained deferential listener
and firm believer in all he does and
says, for of course a wife has i'm
plicit faith in her husband; he has
gained q valuable waiter, for early
in married life he develops help
Iessness in a remarkable degree; he
never can find anything, even after
his wife has described the exact
location of the desired article,
neither can he put on collar or
necktie without her assistance.
Goodness only knows" how he
did it before marriage. For all
this he expects to give and she to
receive board and clothes.
She has lost her freedom and her
name; she has to work twice as
hard as in her girlhood, even if she
then earned her own living. Then
she always had money of her own
to spend as she pleased; now, in
addition to home duties, she many
times works for others-'It is so
nice to have a little money for my
very own," she says. Of course
she does not do anything at home
to entitle her to part of her hus-
bands earnings as her very
own"
By the time she has been
married ten years, she looks ten
years older than the sister who is
only two years her junior, and her
husband is usually the first to re-
mark it, but of course he is not to
blame.
There are many happy homes,
thank God, in every community,
and when they exist there goes out
from them a blessed influence,
which can hardly be overestimated.
"A real home with a mother in it, !"
whose hospitable doors are ever
open to those not so blessed, is a
wonderful power for good. If the
boys and girls are made welcome
they will not be slow to tell it, and
there will be an attraction in the
sweet amenities of home which will
draw them from other and less holy
influences. It is not possible in
this world so full of care and trOu-
BILE to be always merry It is
quite possible to be always loving
and kind. If the business cares of
the father and the never ending
struggles of the mother with dirt
and disorder, cooking, washing,
ironing and mending, cannot be
banished, they can be wonderfully
toned down by the loving sympa-
thy and help which each member
of the household can and should
give to the other. A home where
the golden rule is lived is the near
est possible approach to heaven.
The day comes all too soon when
the household is scattered-the boys
and girls, alasl girls no longer
are gone to make homes for them
selves, elsewhere; when some, per-
haps, are laid away from our sight,
out of reach of kind words or help
full deeds. Happy are we if no
sorrowfuI thoughts haunt US, of
hasty words and unkind deeds, if
only pleasant memories remain.
We may, if our means allow, make
our homes beautiful and attractive,
and it is well to do so. But with
out the true spirit of home, it, will

Scouts at Valley Forge.

Last Saturday was an ideal day for a
ramble In the country, and the twenty
five boy scouts of st. PauPs Church
greatly enjoye d the trip to Valley Forge
under the guidance of Rev. Dan E. Clair,
who is all ideal chaperon. Postmaster
L. E. Hunt and w. A. Summerill also ac-
c~ompanied them and greatly enjoyed the
trip as well as the sights of that famous
historic camping ground where Gen.
George Washington and his colonial army
spent the darkest days of the American
Revolution in government.
Valley Forge is along the schuylkill
about twenty-five miles from Phiiadel-
phia. The State of Pennsylvania pur-
chased five hundred acres for a park,
much of it rolling woodland which is
beautiful OH ali autumn day. Near the
station is all old colonial house in which
Washington had his headquarters and
from which was a tunnel to the river
thru which he was to escape in case OF a
surprise capture OF the army.
The tramp of two miles to the memorial
chapel and museum gave all all appetite
for lunch. In the museum is Washing
toms tent and various relics of the Revol-
ution and colonial day. Another tramp
OF three miles brought them past the hos
pital to the colossal statue of Gen.
Anthonv Wavne. which is one of the
great objects worth seeing. A grand
view of the surrounding country can be
seen from the observatory or Mt. Joy.
The thirsty enjoyed the crystal waters
from Washington and Colonial springs.
From the latter large amounts OF water
are sold in Philadelphia for drinking
purposes.
The Dominic had provided a private
car for the party, and the boys rode in
state with two seats for each from Phil
odelphia. On the way back some Phila-
delphia school boys got into our car with
up. Their singing and counter cheering
made a Jolly time. The trip down the
river ON the Wilson line and across on
the Ulrica was a very pleasant ending Of
the days outing.
The Dominic is a most skillful tourist
manager, and any IL who wants to be
well cared for in touring this world, or
the next, will do well to follow his leader
ship.
