en-. One of the letters is signed
Anna. The writer declares that she
loves Schieb better than his wife does,
and she says she hopes to have him

A shirt wrapped around the wom-
ans body is said to have been identi-
fed by laundry mark as belonging

boys think they are having good
time. In short, live with your
boys. A little fun and good nature
will go far towards turning work
into play. When you get a boy so
that he will love his home and his
parents, you will have a strong arm
to rest on as you go down the slope.
=
Home! One is more than ever
impressed by the significance of
that word, when even in the rough
est hamlet and most desolate look
ing hut, it may mean so much to
those who were born in it. 1t is a
beautiful trait, this clinging to the
very soil of ones birthplace, sterile
and unattractive as it may be to
those who have no such associa-
tions.
We do not care how poor a young
man be if he has good heath,
sound principles, is respectful of sa-
cred things, is temperate in his hab-
it's, and is not afraid to work and
work hard, and face the world with
a determination to succeed That
young man can be trusted with the
best and sweetest girl ever reared
in home. Marriage and all that
a good, loving wife means is the
developing power of such man.
Praise the work of your children,
no matter how trivial the act. It
will give them an honest desire to
do better next time.
The stern realities of life permit
only short season of recreation, and
it is only by planning judiciously
the arrangement of time and di-
visions of labor that busy mother
can fnsures a child MS righCfuE Por-.
tion of her company.
Home should be so truly home
that the weary, tempted heart could
turn to it anywhere on the dusty
highway of life and receive light
and strength. What a blessing it
is when weary with care and sor-
row, to have a home to which we
can 90, and there in the midst of
friends we love forget our troubles
and dwell in peace and quietness.
Home is the chief school of human
virtue. It's responsibilities, joys,
sorrows, smiles, tears, hopes and
soTicitudes form the chief interests
in human life.
No heart is insensible to words
of praise or the kindly smile of ap-
probation; and none are utterly
above being affected by censure or
blame. Children are particularly
sensitive in this respect. Nothing
can discourage a child more than
a spirit of incessant fault finding;
and perhaps nothing can exert a
more baneful influence upon both
parent and child. If your little
one, through the day, has been
pleasant and obedient, and you say
to him, MY son, you have been
good today, and it makes me very
happy" and if, with more than a
usually affectionate embrace, you
say, Goodnight, my child. a.
throb of suppressed feelings fills
his breast, and he resolves on earn
ing such approval.
