the human character.
The father returns to his home af-
ter a weary day at business. He is
tired in body and mind. Coming
back. as his latch-key turns in the
home door he throws off care; he is
joyous at the thought OF the dear one
he will meet after hours Of absence.
His young daughter in a pretty
gown, with the bloom and freshness
only girlhood wears. should be ready
to give him the attention he loves
the kiss, the CHEEKY word--to help
her mother and the rest in letting her
father see how much he is loved at
home.
A true marriage is the souls Eden.
It is the visiting place of angels. 1t
Is not given to words to express the
refinement Of pleasure. the delfcdcy
OF JOY and the Astounding fullness of
satisfaction that those feel whom God
hath Joined in a high marriage Of
spirit. Such a union is the highest
school of virtue. the souls convent
where the vestal fires Of purity are
kept continually burning. May only
such happy unions attend the young
men and maidens OF Hickman and
vicinity who may even now be plan
ming their wedding garments.
Let a wife and mother love her
home and her children with the most
absolute answering devotion, and
serve them with the most unselfish
fidelity, there are nevertheless times
when she is weary. She knows bet
ter than anyone else the steps and
the stitches, the same things done
over and over, and the pettiness OF
the trials that come TO the nursery
and kitchen. They are so insignifi
cant that she is ashamed TO talk a
bout them, and we fear she sometime
forgets to tell her Savior how hard
they press her; and so. bearing hel
cross all alone its weight becomes
crushing.

ones, to my earliest recollection.
see a woman with an eye that flash
es swift as an archangel's wing and
a mouth that breaks with laughter
and hardens at sight of wrong, sing
ing lullabies; a woman who, with
hand graSping the Unseen Hand
walks the brier-bordered paths of
life unashamed, unafraid, unframed.
She is clad in garments of beauty
for me, and age does not soil them,
nor years make them cheap and taw.
dry. Her tongue is without guile,
having never been the messenger of
a lie. 1t is seventeen years since
her soul went home to God and ner
fingers became for me the finger of
an angel, but l have not forgotten
all she said. She told me there was
a Santa Claus, and l believe her. H

But he still brings to me the vision
