HOME INFLUENCE.

The home influences is either a bless
ing or a curse either for good or for
evil. 1t cannot be neutral. In either
case, it is mighty, commencing with our
birth; going with us through life. cling
ing to us in DEATH and reaching into the
eternal world. The specific influences
of husband, wife, or parent and;child, of
brother and sister. of teacher and pupil
united and harmoniously blended, con
stitute the home influence. Like the
calm, deep stream it moves on in its
silent but overwhelming power. II strikes
its roots deep into the human heart, and
spread IFS branches wide over our whole
being. Like the lilly that braves the
tempest and "the Alpine flower that
leans its cheek on the bosom of eternal
snow" it is exerted amid the widest
storms of life and breathes a softening
spell in our bosom even when a heartless
world is freezing up the fountains of
sympathy and love. 1t holds the empire
Of the heart and rules the life. Our
habits, too. are formed under the mould
ing power of home The "tender twig"
is there bent the spirit shaped, princ-
pies implanted, and the whole character
is formed until it becomes habit. The
gray haired father who walks in the sec
ond infancy, feels the traces of his child
hood home, in his spirit, desires and
habits. The most illustrious statesmen
and eloquent ministers owe their great
ness to the fostering influences of their
homes. Napoleon knew and felt this
