mother, when the child is well
again, will sometimes exhibit an
impaticucu that borders on the
ridiculous. It is noisy, boisterou*,
inquisitive, cureless, as all healthy
children are apt to be, and the
mother wtars out her soul in scold*
ing it. This is often a case of cause
oud effect. The child has recov*
ered its nervous forces, but the
mother has not. During the ten
weeks illness of a child its mother
may expand the entire icscrvc of
»'tal energy, and ccntrnct a large
debt in that line besides, jrlilcb she
may be years in liquidating. She
may never liquidate it, but live on
fretful and irritable to the end, for
a mother seldom passes a whole
year without incurring some new
drain upon her resources. It is
fur tho reason that, in all tho xr»
rangements of a home, the esse
and comfort of tho mother should
be coniidcd before all thiugs.—
This Is her right. Nor is it less
the interest of the family, for their
happiness depends chiefly upon
health and cheerfulness.

Woman*! Power.
From bis cradlo to his grave
man relies for his happiness upon
the love of woman, says a South'
ern writer. Ills light, bis joy, his
very life, depends bliudingly and
trustingly upon the mother love
that nurses bis infant years, tends
his childhood, trains his youth,
and rejoices in his manhood. In<
finitely holy, utterly self* sacrifice
ing, pure, noble, beautiful is the
“maternal instinct”—and kuowing
the heights of it, proving its
strength, seeing its abnegation of
self, men call it divine—and so
realize tho love of God unto all
humanity. Yet even from this
fount of exquisite tendorness they
turn their steps to a love inoro al
luring, more entrancing, more ab
sorbing} they leave all and cling to
their wives, possessing in them
everything. Wonderful and pecu
liar is the great mingling of hu
man hearts, of organisms irresisti
bly attracted, of souls that feel
with and for each other, of two
brains forming ono mind, of two
lives and luves from which spring
other lives and yet another love—
parental affection.

Her affection is frank and free, and

she finds a thousand ways to cheer

Cultivating Integrity of Character.
There is a wide difference iu the
estimate of justice and right among
men. Some have an instinctive
seme of justice; others always have
distorted or shaded views of right
and wrong. The difference is not
that there is an intention to do
wrjng, hut that each baa learned
to view all moral questions from
his particular standpoint. Yet
right and wrong are immutable.
Each is stamped with its peculiar
characteristic, and three do not
change. Hence if different views
of the moral quality of a giveu act
are taken it is evident that one
or the other is wrong. Hence
right view of justice aud all the
moral issues is a matter of train
ing. How may it best be done?
We answer, by inculcating dear
perception* of tbo fundamental
principles of right. These are *im
pic and plain. It is right to tell
the truth to deal honestly, to ro<
spect others* ilghtrand to observe
tho ruh.Ni of eommgrc’iil morality.
To injure another’s reputation is
wrong; and to dospoil another of
property, even it legally done, is
rong. Tho oiigitml, fundamen
tal principles of right and wrong
are simple and plain. Iris when
obscuro them by special influ
ences that wo are befogged. There
is always a special plea for an ad
of spoliation, whether of character
roperty. And, as a rule, there
is a willingness to allow this special
nlea peculiar fnmo. !• :« tints
men’s views of right nro warped.
Hy nice turns of expression, men
convey a fslso impression, when
they would scorn to openly lie.
By shrewd turns they manage to
complete a satisfactory business
transaction, when they would ut
terly refuse to directly and boldly
cheat. It is t’.ie inicretionj in
morals that need to ho watched.
These are often dungcrou*.
When the minds bf children arc
plastic und habits arc formutivo
these great principles cm be solid
ly inculcated. And if wisely and
caiefully done, they will unswur
foi years after. Tho host educa
tion a parent can imparl is that
which leads to Integrity of charac
ter that command confidence, and
in tbc main sccuro success. A
rough, hard man in Australia cauic
to tho celebrated Henry Kc» d.—
He had managed to place hiniHoli
on tho pension rolls of the British
army by fraud. IIo lived in n
poor way on Ins ponsiuii /»u bi«
energies were blunted by his sense
of wrong, aud be did not succeed
in life. Reed, boat ing his story
and his wish to reform, said to him
that first of nil he mint surrender
bis pension, and that as soon
able he must return nil ho had
drawn, principal and interest. The
man did so. Under his relieved
senso he was ublo to arouse his
energies, and attained wealth and
position.
There arc many lives, liko his,
blighted by false positions, taken
In moments of weakness, and from
which there is not moral courago
to escape. It is wiso to guard
children from it, and, inasmuch
contjngcnoio: cannot be watched,
it is best to inculcate fundamental
truths. These are like the polar
star to the sailor, a guide amid
storm aud sunshine. All else can
be made to conform if the essential
principles are right. If these are
unsettled wo may as well seek to
watch the wind ns to keep guard
over the weIBbeing of children.
Hence lo instil integrity of cbarac
ter in a child is tie best legacy
that can possibly be conferred.—

Tho growing of a town depends

but wo wish to call attention to

refer to tho grumblers who run

men who refuse to stand hy their
own town nro notafew in number,
and their influence is n had one.
If r stranger cornea along to invest
in some buiiin-ss he is told by
these croakers tho placo is '“no
good,’ nnd if they could get away
tllomiolve. they would be glad to
do it. Thcro is too much compe
tition already, and they did not
believe a business man in town
was making money. Thoy tell
tho new comer that ho makes a
mistake if ho invest., they wonld
adviso him not to. Buch talk Is
enough to discourago tho roost en
thusiastic investor and drivo him
away. Tltero are few towns whicli
have no representation of this class
of croakers. They may menu no
harm, and no doubt would liko to
see their places advance, but they
