THE UNFORTUNATE THINGS OF LIFE.
Everybody comes to a | oint in life
■where tilings to 1 c regretted will cross
their pathway. The beat of men must
■sometimes resent apparent reflections
on their manhood, their honesty and
their character. It is deplorable that
thin is necessary, that such affairs must
occur. There is in the Good Hook a pase-
.ige where the divine injunction is giv-
.en that when one asks you to go a mile
with you, you should go '.wo, and if one
t<mite you on one cheek then turn to
him the other,
-It's a great pity that human nature
can’t stand this tort. How few there
atre on earth who would not, even tho
ar. the throes of unger, drop their heads
*n shame and usk forgiveness if tho
brother so approached would present

immaculate purity suggests to us the holiest of life's relationships,
love is purer than a mother’s? It contains no taint of selfishness. Both in
essence and in origin it is something divine. It recoils from no sacrifice.
It complains of no labor. It outlingers all lie oilier loves of earth.
The father may turn his boy adrift. He may deny him the shelter of
the ancestral home. He may disown him belore the whole world.
But mother's love is spun of finer silk.
In texture it is even more delicate than the finest thread in Penelope’s
loom; but it grips us like the cables of the Great Eastern.
The jears have sped since we knelt at childhood's altar to lisp the sweet
est of earthly prayers. Some of us are bent beneath the weight of life’s
fjurdms. The shows have begun to gather thick. The furrows of care are
d rep.
But we have found no holier shrine at which to bend tli^n mother’s
knee.
And the inlluence ol the fireside! Who can weigh or measure them?
We are fitted to forget maty things. But there are some accents which
ring in our ears Id c the music of silver bells. We hear them above the
r jar ol the loudest cataract. On the darkest day they pour laughter and
s inshinc into our hearts, and they are sweeter thin bugle echoes because
they arc mother's.
Who can equal the pies which she used Intake?
Or rival the wonderful stories which was wont to tell on the evenings
long ago, when she unlocked for us the realm of the fairies with the mystical | AllSWCP One Written Question
key ul “once upon a time?”
We have often wandered abroad in the harvest season, but we have
scented no musk in the autumn fields which can equal in sweetness the
memories ot childhood; and the reason is locked in one short word, “moth,
er.” Enough.
Whether she he here or yonder—among these blossoms of an earth
ly springtime or beneath those boughs of fadeless evergreen—she is with us
still in ten thousand hallowed recollections.
Aye, wc will wear the white rose for mother.
For when all the keys have been touched and when all the chords have
been swept and when all the minstrels have sung, it still remains that the
sweetest of life's lingering strains is the one which tells of her—
And he who fares the best may say
With him who fares the worst,
Man’s truest sweetheart after all
Is she who loved him first—The Georgian.
What somP time to mingle with others,
some time to Improve her mind, some
sympathy and love. A horse thrives
without all this, but a woman can’t.
The farm home by right should for all
be the most comfortable, home-like
homo in the world. The men don't
mean to be cruel or unjust; they Just
didn’t think.
I hope they can be made to realize
that the women cannot work eternal
ly overtime In the deadly monotony
of the farm home without some recre
atton—some fun. It la this never-end
Ing grind—this unending round ol
tasks, will wear the toughest nature.
This steady grind of monotonous work
acts upon the mind and works upon
the nerves, bends the shoulders, puts
crooks in the spine, lime In the Joints,
brings gray hair and wrinkles before
theli time. It robs life of Its Joys
and sunshine, and drives the girls to
cities and towns.
