THE HOME CIRCLE COLUMN, Pleasant Evening Reveries—A Column Dedioated to Tired Mothers as They Join the Homo Circle at Evening We all know the man, the mere grip of whose hand puts new life and strength into us. and the woman whose brave, cheery smile—amidst disappoint ment and trouble—makes us ashamed to dispair and to give up. And why should we not resemble them? It ^s, tell him some of the trials of the day. Oh, yes women must always be sweet and pleasant and make the home happy, and see that the children don’t worry- poor tired papa. She can bear it all day and half the night, but business is so much harder than worry, and work is surely, better to be like a bright, cheer- j on th* wife. Of course there are ex- ful fire, at which our friends can warm eeptions to this picture, yet we know that there are a multitudo of caese that are no exception, and in the cause of humanity and justice we write, that, peradventure, we might make some thoughtless one think, and remedy this great injustice to one that God made for a helpmate, but not for a slave. and revive their drooping hearts, than have the proverbial wet blanket which can effectually put out the Dame of love tynd hope. o o o A storv is told of a married lady who compared her husband to a handsome piano lamp that he had presented to | her.

Have your standard and live up to it" Sat that standard according to your own income-and your own judgement of what is best for you and yours. This trying to live up to the standard of others is what destroys the happiness of many households. Families with an income of $1,000 a year make a desper ate effort to live up to the standard of those with $1,300 and those with $1,500 try to imitate those with $3,000 a year, we have such a foolish fear of what our neigl bur* will do or think, or say. We have not the moral force to fix our own standard and live up to it as we ought. The courage of one’s convictions, the independence of one’s sense of what is best for one’s individual self and fami ly are valuable possessions of this age of artificiality and striving for effect, o o o Tlie Home Alter What scene can be more lovely on •arth. more h'ke tho heavenly home, and more pleasing to God than that of a pious family kneeling with one accord around the home altar, and uniting in concealed. It comes to light someway or another. The most common skele ton is poverty. Poverty is a great secret, kept at any painsbv one half of the world from the other half. When there is nothing laid by—nothing saved to relieve sickness when it comes— nothing to alleviate the wants of old age, then is the skeleton hidden away in many a cupboard. Wo do not value money for its own sake, and we should be the last to eneouruge a miserly desire to hoard among any class, but we can not help recognizing in money the means of life, the means of comfort, the means of muining an honest in dependence. We would, therefore re j commend every young man and woman who read this paper to begin life by learning to save; to lay up for the futuie a certain portioil of every week’s earnngs, be it little or much; to avoid consuming every week or every year tho earning of that week or year; and we counsel them to do this, ns they would avoid the horrors of dependence, destitution and beggary. It is a true saying that a penny in the purse is hotter than a friend at court. The first penny saved is fa step in tho world. The fact of its being savel rnd laid up ndicates selfdenial, forethoug if, pru dence and wisdom.

For 40 Years the Most Instructive and Entertaining Paper for Southern Farm Families. 5U Cents A Year One Copy Free heaven! How sublime the act of those parents who thus kneel and pray for the blessing of God, upon their house hold. Jfow lovtly the scene of a pious mother who gathers her little ones around her at the bedside and teaches them tne beauties of prayer! And what a safeguard is this devotion against all the machinations of satan. It gives tone and intensity to their aiFections and sympathies; it throws sumihine around their hopes an 1 interests; it in creases their happiness, and takes away the poignan-y of their gries anJ sor row. It availeth much, therefore, bath for time and eternity. Its voice has sent many a poor prodigal home to his father’s, house, Its answer has often been, “This man was born there!’’ The child, kneeling beside its pious mother, and pouring forth its innocent prayer to God, must attract the notice of the heavenly host, and receive into its soul the power of a new life, o o o The Adam Yet Alive- Old Adam is still alive, and as ready to put all the blame of his failures on the woman as he was in the garden of Eden. They would like to marry if they could only find some handsome little lady just suited to their mini, and that is to stay at home while he is away having a good time, gassing on the street or at the lodge or club room, and if those wives could follow their liege lords they would find where their lodges met oftenest. So many men have to be away on important business so wifey and children just gee to the chores and see that the stock is all fed and water ed, for business is pressing and 1 must be off.
