THE MOTHERS SPIRIT.

When the mothers spirit is impatient,
petulant, and fiery. can she expect her
children to be gentle? When she gov
ems by shouting, scolding and threaten
ings, can she expect them to speak
gently to one another, or even to herself?
Will she not see in the carriage and
demeanor her children a reflection of
her spirit and life? II a mother is worldly
minded and fond OF ornamental dress
and show, can she expect her family
to grow up in humility?
If the mother is in the habit, in her
common conversation, of coloring facts,
of exaggerating what she hears and re-
lates can she expect her children to
grow up with love and reverence for
the truth?
The tempers and the dispositions OF
the parents whether lovely or hateful,
make such impressions on. the souls OF
her children that they are like seeds inn
/ planted within them, which shall take
root and grow, and form part of their
future character. Many an angry fret
full passionate mother is propogating
these evils in her children; she does not
wish to do so; she does not intend to do
so, and she is frequently trying TO check
! these unhappy tempers when she sees

A woMAN's ESSAY ON MAN.

A boy can sit still on a sled six inches
square, tied to a sleigh moving eight
miles an hour; but he could not sit still
on sofa, five minutes for dollar bill.
A man will sit on an inch edge of a board
and talk politics for three hours; put him
in church pew for forty minutes, gets
nervous, twists and turns, and goes to
sleep. A man will pouch his cheeks with
filthy tobacco juice running down to his
chin, feels good, but hair in the butter
will kill him. He stays out until mid
night, and his wife don't know where he
is, he comes in when he pleases, but if
meal is not ready just on time, pouts
and says things. Evidently man is a
strange animal. He gets beastly full, i'm
AGNES that he is rich, and great man,
bets on the losing horse, goes broke,
quarrels, fights, lands in jail, eyes
dressed for Easter, face frescoed and
morals depraved, yet he is Lord OF
all creation and monarch of all that he
surveys" Strange animal this man.

WHAT TO FORGET.

If you would increase your happiness
and prolong your life, forget your neigh
boris faults. Forget all of the ISLANDERS
that you have ever heard. Forget the
temptations. Forget the fault finding,
and only remembering the good points
which makes you fond of them. Forget
all of your personal quarrels or histories
that you may have heard by accident,
and which, if repeated, would seem a
thousand times worse than they are.
Blot out. as far as possible, all of the
disagreeableness Of lie; they will come,
but they will only grow larger when you
remember them, and the constant
thought of the acts of meanness, or,
worse STILL malice will only tend to make
you more familiar with them Obliterate
every thing that is disagreeable from
yesterday start out with a clean sheet
today, and write upon it for sweet men,
ory's sake only those things which are
lovely and lovable.

WOMAN AND HOME.

The chief anxiety is not that woman
have other rights accorded her. but that
she, by the grace of God rise up to the
appreciation of the glorious rights that
she already possesses. First, she has the
right to make her home happy. That
realm no one has ever disputed with her.
Your abode may be humble, but you can,
by your faith in God and your cheerful
ness of demeanor, gid it with splendors
such as an upholsterer's hand never yet
kindled. There are abodes in every city
humble, two stories, four plain, unpa
pered rooms, undesirable neighborhood,
and yet there is man who would die on
the threshold rather than surrender.
WHY? 1t is home. Whenever he thinks
of it, he sees the angels OF God lowering
around it. The ladders of heaven are
let down to that house. Over the child'S
rough crib there are the chantingS of an
gels, such as those that broke over Beth
elhem. 1t is home. These children may
come up after awhile, and they may win
high positions, and they may have an
aff1uent residence, but they will not
until their dying day, forget that humble
roof under which their father rested, and
their mother sang, and their sisters
PLAYED. On, II you would only gather
up all OF the tender memories, all of the
lights and shades of the hearts of the
banquetings and all the reunions, all
filial, fraternal paterna and conjugal
affections, and you had only just four
letters with depth and length and
breadth and magnitude and eternity of
meaning, you would with streaming eyes,
and trembling voice, and agitated hands,
write it out in those four living capitals,
HOME.
1t takes but little push to start a
stone rolling down the hill, and many
heavy hearted human being has been
sent into the depths because Of push in
the wrong direction. 1t may be because
it is easier to push than to pull that we
move along with the crowd, saying in
wardly, leach one for himself" and
scarce think it worth while to lend
helping hand where 1t is most needed.
