MOTHERS LIFE.

One of our valued exchanges most
truly says your mothers life has not
been Gays. Your father was poor man
from the day she married him.; stood by
his side, fighting as a woman must fight.
She worked, not the eight or ten-hour
day of the union, but the twenty four
hour day of the poor wife and mother.
She cooked and cleaned and scrubbed and
patched and nursed from dawn until bed
time and in the night was up and down
getting drinks for thirsty lips, cover
ing restless little sleeperse, listening for
croupy coughs. She had time to listen
to your stories of boyish fun and frolic
and triumph. She had time to say the
things that spurred your ambition on.
She never forgot to COX the little dishes
you liked. She did without the dresses
she needed that you might not be
ashamed of your clothes before your fell
lows. Remember this now while there
is yet time, while she is yet living, to
pay back to her in love and tenderness
some of the debt you owe her. You
can never paw it all.

HOME

Our nature demands home. It is the
first essential element of our social be-
ing, which cannot be complete without
The home relations There would be nc
proper equilibrium of life and character
without the home influence. The heart,
when bereaved and disappointed, natur,
ally turns for refuge to home life and
sympathy. There is mothers love and
a fathers influence, the loving brothers
and sisters. Oh, what is life without
these? Our habits, too, are under the
moulding power of home. Every young
woman should feel that just what she
is at home she will appear abroad. If
she attempts to appear otherwise, every
body will soon see through the at
tempt. All the duties and labors of
home, when rightly understood, are SO
many means of Improvement. To love
home with a deep and abiding interest,
with a view to it's elevating influence,
is to love truth and right, heaven and
God. The grand idea of home is quiet,
secluded spot, where loving hearts dwell,
set apart and dedicated to improve

ARE YOU READY7

The days are here when every citizen
of this place can bring ou5 his brush
and paint pot, hoe, lawn mower and
other humble implements and do his
part in developing the beauty of the
city. And while about it don't forget
to clean out the cellar, tidy up the out
side premises and clean away the tin
cans, old boots and shoes and the other
thousand and one things that gather
during the winter. Doing all this will
not cost much in hard cash, but it will
add to the attractiveness and health
of the place. Do it now, or at least be-
fore the rush of spring work comes ON
or the summer comes with it's heat If
left to then the work is generally only
half done, and besides it is taking risks
with disease. A beautiful and healthy
town makes for greater happiness, fos-
ters self-respect ans; local pride, and at
i, tracts visitors-and all these are ele-
ments making for growth and prosper
ity.
This country appears to be incorrig:
BILE in it's habit of pnoclaiming special
days and weeks Tor rescuing itself from
the trouble it gets into during the ord!-
nary days ard weeks of the year. We

and then we oicefully observe "clean up

Dity for century, more or less, and
