We should therefore strive to nake them always as pleasant as possible. So far as oar means permit we should seek to adorn our homei with all that is bright and pleas ant. We are all familiar with the boarding house advertise* menta which promise “all the comforts of home” for a few dol lars per week, and though auch advertisements are sadly delu sive, yet they are the strongest possible tribute to the faot that civilized man’s highest ideal of happidess is in the life of the home. The secret of success in life is to keep busy, to be persevering, patient and untiring in the pur suit or calling you are following. The busy ones may now and then make mistakes, but it is* better to risk these than to be idle and inactive. Keep doing, whether it be work or recreation. Mo tion is life and the busiest are the happiest. Cheerful, active labor is a blessing. An old phil osopher says:—the firefly only shines on the wing. So it is with the mind; when once we rest, we darken. ble, no matter what line of life he may adopt, and that no mat ter how bad his lot may seem he can always find many whose sit uations is infinitely worse. The farmer whose sheep are killed by dogs, whose peach and apple blossoms are lrost bitten, and whose children have the ague envies the minister who, he thinks, has nothing to do but write one or two rermons a week and enjoy himself the rest of the time, when the good man of the ministerial cloth, with his floor barrel and his woodshed empty and his salary far in arrears, wishes his parents bad made him a farmer. Ask yourself hard questions about yourself, find out all you can about yourself. Ascertain from original sources if you are really the manner of man you say you are; if you are always honest; if you always tell the square perfect truth in business deals; if your life is as good and upright at eleven o’clock at night as it is at noon; if you are as good a temperance man on fish ing excursions as you are at a Sunday school picnic; if you are as good when you go out to the city as when you are at home; if, in short, you are the sort of » man your father hopes you are and your sweetheart believes you to be. REAL HOMES. There are husbands and wives whore love is so deen that each cares only to have what will do b^st for the other and for their children. These men and women belong to no particular class, are'to be found among the high ly educated and luxurious classes, in the great middle class and among the laboring people. Sufch folks are honest in their affec tions, honest with each other and honest with the world. Their homes are not places for show, but what the name implies— place of rest, happiness and in spiration of good work, These homes may consist of only two or three rooms, or may be palaces, yet the influence is always good. It is always such homes that make the world sweeter afid bet ter, and experience shows us that they are common in our country. The chief cause of unhappiness in life is discontent. It is a pe culiar foible in human nature seldom or never to be satisfied with our own lot and to be al ways envying that of some one elfee, entirely losing sight of the fact that no one can escape trou- THE MAN WHO LAUGHS. The man whose "hat hat” reaches from one end of the street to the other may be the same fellow who scolded his wife and spanked his baby before he got his breakfast, when he misses the train, when his wife goes visiting, and he has to eat a cold supper; the man who can laugh when he finds a button ofi his shirt, when the furnace fire goes out in the night and both of the twins come down with the measles at the same time—lie’s the man that’s needed, He never tells his neighbor to have .faith. Somehow he puts faith into him. He delivers no homilies; the sight of his beam ing face, the sound of his happy voice, and the sight of his bless ed daily life, carry conviction that words have no power to give. The blues flee before him as the fog before the west wind. He comes into his own home like a flood of sunshine over a meadow of blooming buttercups, and his wife and children blossom in his presence like June roses. His home is redolent with sympathy and love. The neighborhood is better for his life, and somebody will learn of him that laughter is better than tears. The world needs this man. Why are there so few like him? Gan he be created? Can he be evolved? Why is he not in every house, turning rain into shine and winter into summer all the year round until life is a perpet ual season. HUSBAND AND WIFE. Oh, the union of husband and wife, which is the most intimate and confidential relationship on earth, there must be something more than superficial admira tion, the one for the other. These two have pledged to one another a life-long consecration. Their interests are to be in com mon. Nothing can affect one without equally affecting the other. For weal or woe, they have joined hands, and to the whole outside world they present a united front. And yet if testimony should be taken, it would be found that many married people have not been perfectly happy during the years of wedlock. There has been friction. There has been disappointment. The little rift has been suffered to open the way for estrangement. “We decided,” said a man whose long life has been singu larly tranquil and satisfactory, “we decided, my wife and I, when we were married, that we should never let the aun go down on any lack of peace between us. We would ask one another’s par don if necessary, but we would never guarrel. One or the other ■hould always give up a point on which both could not agree, and whatever else came to us, we re solved to have no discord.” Lend a helping hand. If a man is unfortunate, try to lift him up. The people who knew this or t|iat was going to happen, the "I told you so” people, are a detriment to the community. If they would always say a good word instead of a discouraging one, how much better things would be. Study and know the interest of your home. Buy of home merchants. Stay at home nights. Attend some churoh, look forward to good times and all will feel better, be happier and enjoy life better. A Tomb for Tramps, The population of the town of Holland, Maas., is small. It has U voters. By word of mouth and by tramp hieroglyphics it baa been widely advertised among the fraternity as a desirable stop' ping off place. One night an unusually bold man of the tramp species ap peared at the town hall and de manded a bed. He was told to follow as a councilman led the way toward the cemetery. The tramp was thinking of the luxury of a warm New Eogland bed, when his guide halted before the reception tomb. With the words: "Some of the best citi zens Holland ever had spent more than one night here,” the tramp was directed to enter. He took the hint and fled. The town is no longer visited by wandering loafers. Your money refunded If after iihg- Ing three fourths of (8-4) of a tube of ManZan, you are dissatisfied.

A preacher came at a news paper man in this way: You editors do not tell the truth. If you did you could not live; your newspaper would be a failure. The editor replied: You are right and the minister who will at all times and under all circum stances tell the whole truth about his members, alive or dead,, will not occupy his pulpit more than one Sunday, and then he will find it necessary to leave town in a hurry. The press and the pul pit go hand in hand with white wash brushes and pleasant words, magnifying little virtues into big ones. Tne pulpit, the pen, and,the grave stone are the great saint-making triumvirate. And the great minister went away looking very thoughtful while the editor turned to his work, and told of the unsurpassing beauty ot the bride, while in fact she was as homely as a mud fence. “Pineules” (non-alcbollc) made from rosin from our Pine Forest, used for hundreds of years for blader and kidney diseases.

Oratltud* and OraatiMM, Gratitude may be termed the noblest trait of mankind. The grateful man give* proof of up rightness, truth, generosity, un selfishness and loyalty, qualities admire;} in all agea and all coun tries. The man who easily for gets a favor is justly looked on as cold and selfish; but he who remembers a kindness done and strives to make return is never denied applaure. Gtatitude is a quality becoming the large soul and the big heart. Years ago the Hon. Alex. H. Stevens, of Georgia, one of the most illustrious sons of the South land, in hia lifetime Congress man, United States Senator, Governor of Georgia, and Vice- President of the Confederate States, stood before an audience in the State which loved to heap honors on his worthy head. He was speaking for au orphan asy lum and a free school. Be re lated an anecdote. A poor little boy on a cold pight, with no home oi roof to shelter him, no paternal or ma< ternal guardian to protect or guide or direct him on hta way through life, reached in the dark ness the home of a planter, who took him in, treated him kindly, and in due course sent him foith a renovated youth, strong in faith, both in God and man. These kind attentions of the charitable planter so cheered the boy’s heart and encouraged him to fight the battle of life that he feared no defeat. As years rolled on, success came to the young man’s en deavors. He reached the legal profession, and soon in that try ing aretia acquired fame. His host had meantime died. A band of conspirators then pro ceeded, under forms of law, to wrest his property "from the wid ow. She sent for the nearest counsel to assist in maintaining her rights. That counsel proved to bo the orphan boy, long years before sheltered under her hos pitable roof. The sentiments of a warm and tenacious gratitude added fervor to the ordinary mo tives of professional activity. He undertook the lady’s cause with a will which no obstacle could resist. He won his suit. The widow’s estates were secur ed to her in perpetuity. Then Mr, Stephens, drawing himself before his audience, added with an emphasis that thrilled and electrified all his hearers. "That boy now stands before you.” Inseparable from noble souls is gratitude. George Washing ton loved lus mother, not alone from the ordinary filial motives, but out of gratitude for ths ser vices she rendered him from the first dawn of reason. It was the ingratitude of Benedict Arnold to him, his friend and benefac tor, which wrung the heart of the Father of His country, even more cruelly than Arnold’s treas on to the infant republic. Grat itude marked a notable degree. Abraham Lincoln, who remem bered in his fame the very humblest benefactions of his earliest and obscure days. Grat itude it was that led General Grant into faults of administra tion, for which his countrymen, when they came to understand his motives, generously forgave him. Gratitude is the insepar able attribute of true greatness. -Fayette, (W. Va.) Sun. Two days treatment free.
