Every honest prayer that is breathed,
every cross that is carried, every trial
that is well endured, every good work
for our fellow-men lovingly done every
little task that is conscientiously per
formed for Christ’s glory, helps to
make Christ's glory, helps to make
Christian character beautiful, and to
load its boughs with “Apples of gold"
for God’s “baskets of silver.”

the trouble of wiping up the tracks,

we women should be to se er

Courtesy at Home.
Good breeding, like charity, should
begin at home. The day is past when
children used to rise when their par
ents entered thi room when they were
and stand until they had received per
mission to sit. But the mistake is now
made usually in the other direction
allowing to small boys and girls too
much license to disturb the peace of the
household. We think the best way to
train children in courtesy would be to
observe toward them a scrupulous . po
liteness. We would go so far a3 to say
that we should make it as much a point
to listen to chiljren without interrupt
ing them and to answer them sincerely
and respectfully as if they were grown
up. And, indee i many of their wise,
quaint sayings are far better worth
listening to than the stereotyped com
monplaces of the morning cullers. Of
course, to allow uninterrupted chatter
would be to surrender the repose of the

Parents keep your boys off the street,
especially after dark. You know not
what annoyance these little fellows are,
besides they learn all kinds of mean
ness, picking up all the slang phrases
uttered by other boys who have forgot

mother's knee when they, too, were
innocent little tots like your own boys j
now. If you have nice beautiful yards, . household, but it is very easy, if child

scolding them for their merry laughter, ' spocted, to teach them in turn scru
for ’tis better far to be annoyed at j Piously to respect the convenience of
home than to have them mixed up in an ethers, and to know when to talk and
ugly affair on tfie street of which you | when to be silent,

on every one’s tongue. If you value st » n t exercise of courtesy toward broth-
tlieir education as you should, you will crs un ^ sisters nnd playmates, as well

There is no good reason why a man r en wo ever knew were equeated on
**^~^*w - I the principle of always commending
-«>.>» j them when it was possible to do so, and
letting silence be the reproof of any
wrong doing which was not really seri-
[ ouh. Wo have heard the children of
this household, when their mother had
failed to say any word of commendation
after some social occasion, ask as an
xiously as possible, “What was it,
mamma? I know something was
wrong. Didn’t we treat the other dhild-
ren well, or were we too noisy?” In
that, house reproof was never bestowed
unsought—only commendation, of what
ever it was possible to commend, was
gratutious.
We think this system would be as
good for those grown-up children, the
husbands and wives, as for those still
[ in the nursery.
That Dreary Parlor.
We do wonder why people try so hard
to make their houses ugly, inside and
out. They spend dollars, yes, lots of
them, too—in filling their dwellings
with what is neither useful nor orna
mental, when a few cents and perhaps
a little more serse would have made
them handsome, The best parlor,
what misery sits enthroned within its
1 for bibing doors! When you make a
visit you are invited within its sacred
portals, The door creaks, as if pro
testing against the invasion. A clarn-
! my atmosphere envelops you as you
, enter that makes you involuntarily shud-
! der and wonder if fhe room is haunted.
You sit on a hair cloth chair ar.d clutch
frantically at the arms to keep from
slipping off. The ambrotypc3 of de
ceased uncles and cousins and aunts look
down at you from their oval frames and
j scowl. The whatnot in the corner is
I covered with pric-a-brac intended to ba
ornamental, but which looks more like
some play hou.->c replete with broken
j dishes and empty bottles, and kept in
j the best room in memory of some child,
dead years ago. You feel in your bones
that there has been no one in that room
for months before and that when you
go out it will once more be sealed like
j a tomfc and left to the care of the re
latives on the wall. You long for a
glimpse of the sunlight out of doors.

still in the land of the living, it would
be a relief. You wish you could find a
cat in the room and step on its tail, or
run a pin into the old aunt who looks
lown from the wall with a stony stare
at least fifty years old, or kick the hair
cloth chair right into the whatnot, or
do anothing to cause a little commotion
and an appearance of life. And when,
after a visit of half an hour, about as
cheerful as a funeral, you leave the

presence of the dead. The best parlor,

Managing a Wife.
A New York paper recently offered
a prize for the best thought on “How
to Manage a Wife.” The following
was awarded the prize: "'Manage?'
What is that? Does it mean to control?
We manage a horse. We use our su
perior human intellect to control and
guide has superior physical strength so
us to obtain the best results. But a
wife is not a horse. Where two persons
are well married, the wife i) superior
to her husband in as many respects as
he is superior to her in others. If hap
piness is to be the result of the union
the first business of the husband is to
manage himself so as to keep himself
always his wife’s respectful friend,
always her tender lover’ always her
equal partner, always her superior pro
tector. This will necessarily stimulate
the wife to be always an admiring
friend, always an affectionate sweet
heart , always n thrifty housewife, al.
ways a confiding ward. And this will
so react upon the husband that his
love for liis wife will grow so as to mako
it easy for the husband, with all his
faults, to bear with the infirmities of
hi3 ‘one and only’ wife.” .

THE ‘09 HARRIED CLUB
18 CAUSE BE COMMENT
i
The news item carried last week con
veying information to the public that
an even dozen young men of Milledge-
ville would be married before Christmas
caused much comment, not only in Mil-
lodgeville^, but throughout the state.
Since that time four additions have been
made to the list and it now numbers
sixteen members.
Of course, soma of the eventful af
fairs may not be consummated, but if
the best laid plans of men and women
count for anything they will be realiz-
ed. A movement is now on foot to get
the initiation of the eulb members com
pleted and as soon as this is done their
names will be published.
