without giving the editor thy name, for
thy name oftentimes secures publication
TO worthless articles.


Thou shouldst not rap at the door of

the rap sneereih in his sleeve and loseth

Never do thon loaf about, nor knock
down type, or the boys will love thee as
they do the shade trees when thou
leavest.


Thou shouldst never read the copy on
the printers cases or the sharp and
hooked container thereof, or he may
knock thee down.


Never inquire of the editor for news,
for behold il is his business to give il to
thee at the appointed time without ask

1t is not right that thou shouldst ask
him who is the author of am article, for
il is his duty to keep such things unto
himself.


!. When thou dost enter his office, take
heed unto lhyselfthat thou dost not look
at what coucerns thee not, for that is not
meet in the sight of good breeding.


Neither examine thou the proof sheet
for il is not ready to meet thine eye that

Thou shouldst not delude thy self with

tial or humble, to find this object of
life. Ifthere were some patent method
for obtaining it, or if it could be pur-
chased, what demand there would bel
And yet when it lies at our doors, or is
placed in our hands, we hesitate to
pick it up and fail to grasp it. The
fact is, too many are looking for great
things and great events, when the sum
of human happiness is almost wholly
made up of the little and apparently in
significant things about us. 1t has
been said that familiarity breeds con-
tempt" This can only be true between
husband and wife and parents and
children, when the nobility Of manhood
and womanhood has been forgotten
and laid aside, and selfishness and
vulgarity have taken its honored place.
If the occupants of some of the homes
who have seen happiness departing
during the past year, would, in turning
the new leaf, remember some of the
lessons they once well understood, the
change would be magical. Let the
husband try for three months to enter
the house and leave it as he did in the
days of his wooing. Let the wife
practice the easy charms that won the
lover. Neither has forgotten, and
there is more than millions in it.' 1t
Won't be a costly experiment; and if the
trial of year does not make every
room of your home, humble though it
may be, ring with happiness, then you
may set it down that the devil has
mortgage and will likely foreclose, and
the sooner the better. But do not give
up too easily, for of all desirable and
beautiful things of this life, happy
home stands first. tits kind of fore
taste of the home beyond, whose ''gates
are never shut, = and ''whose glory no
man can estimate AS our sons and
daughters grow up and go out from
their homes, although they may scat

spot that sheltered them, and the

croaching upon it along this entire

Houses and farms, bank stocks and
bonds are all good things to have, and
especially when the dividends fill the
capacious pocket-book, and promise
comfort, ease and luxury. But it has
been observed by thoughtful people
that wealth is not an unfailing source
of happiness; nay, it has often proved
an annoyance and even burden to life.
There is something that often comes
with wealth that mars the joys that
should accompany it; and, before the
owner is aware, it has sapped his hui
manity, and he stands out soured, vain
and selfish; a being to make angels
weep and devils laugh and chuckle.
When the Savior of men was upon
earth He gave an impressive lesson to
one who came and inquired what he
should do to have eternal life. He said
he had kept all the commandments
from his youth up, and asked: ''What
lack l yet?' The answer was: go
and sell that thou hast and give to the
poor.' The advice, we are assured,
made the young man sorrow" But
the further impressive words were ut
cred: II say unto you, that rich
man shall hardly enter into the king
dom Of heaven.'' Under such teach
ings, and with the experiences that
wealth brings many evils in its train, it
seems strange that the human family
should jeopardize every hope, and tire
the limbs and worry the brain, and
stain the hands in the eager chase
1or riches. The question should come
to-day to these merchants on Change,
the business man in his counting-rOom,
the professional man in his wearisome
study, "What am | striving for at this
opening Of The year 1892" Aside from
morals and religion, which we leave
to the pulpits, what ideas have we
formed for a years happiness? We take
it for granted that our readers agree
with US that the world was made for
happy men and women. Its beauty and
variety and bountiful supplies of COM
forts and lnxuries teach us the fact
more forcibly than words can express
it. Happy men and women are not
found outside of happy homes. We
pity the millionaire who smiles at the
simplicity of the proposition, and
equally the man who boasts in his pride
that he can purchase with gold this
precious commodity. 1t is something
that gold will not buy, and any amount
of wealth will not prevent bankruptcy
and its Punishment from the home. If
single reader at the opening of this
new year feels that his home is not
the ideal place he has in theyears agone
cherished and anticipated, it would
be well to stop and inquire into the
reason.
