Home Life.
Home life is the sure test of home
character. Let the husband grow cross
and surly, end the wife grow cold and
unamiable. The children grow cross
and savage as voung bears. The fath
er becomes callous, peevish, hard, kind
of a two-legged brute with clothes on.
The wife bristles in self-defence. They
develop an unnatural growth and sharp
ness of teeth and the house is haunted
by ugliness and domestic brawls. This
is not what the family, circle should be
If one must be rude to any, let it be to
some one he does not love—not his wife,
brother or parents. Let one of the
loved ones he taken away, and memory
recalls a thousand sayings of regret.
Death quickens recollections painfully.
The grave cannot hide the white faces
of those who sleep. The coffin and the
green ground are cruel magnets. They
draw us further than wo could go.
They force us to remember. A man
never secs so far into human life as
when he looks over a wife’s or mother’s
grave. His eyes grow wondrous clear
then and he sees as ho never saw before,
what it is to love and ho loved. It is
a pitiable picture of human weakness
when those we love best are treated
worst.

A Senseless Habit.
The young lady that habitually uses
si mg in her conversation cannot have
a very exalted opinion of herself. The
estimate placed upon her by those who
hear her use it is certainly not a high
one. It sounds coarse and vulgar when
used by a man, but when used by a
woman its tone is degrading and re
pulsive. How often one hears a young
lady speak of children as ‘‘kids.” That
word comes from the slang of English
thieves. No exactly a proper word for
a lady’s use, is it? “Mash” is another
word in common use by young ladies
of both high and low degree. The word
originates in the immoral relation
sustained by a thief and his mistress.
It is essentially foul, and when issuing
from the lips of innocence and purity
gives a startling shock. Even thieves,
toughs and disreputables, of either sex,
who|know the whole vocabulary of slang,
seldom, if ever, use a single word of
it in the presence of honest people.
Slung, in English, has but two sources—
thieves and showmen; and any young
person who imitates those classes, eith
er in conduct or conversation is plenti
fully endowed with a lack of sense.-
o o o
Lack of Courtesy.
Trifling discourtesies of speech and
manners constantly indulged in do more
to destroy the peace of a household
than an occasional war of words which
lasts for n hi ief period and is then at an
end. Chief among the enuses to create
a murky home atmosphere is the habit
of “nagging” one another. Hu«ban s
and wives give expression to every
petty feeling of irritation, and bandy
words hock and forth till some molehill
assumes the proportions of a mountain.
A tendency to nag goes unchecked
among the children, and almost before
the parents are aware there is a chronic
condition of unpleasantness in the home.
Young married people, especially, need
to learn control in this direction. An
other disagreeable trait to he guarded
against is the habit, peculiar to some
people, of always being on the opposite
side of a question. Call attention to

Beauty.
What is beauty after all? Each eye
makes it for itBelf. You think Smith's
lady-love raw-boned and hardfeatured.
He calls her a "magnificent woman.”
and wonders what you see in your little
aogc,’ with her baby face and stature.
So it ia the world overhand yet, we
would each give something to be beauti
ful after our own fashion. How the
powders and lotions which ar e to
beHtow upon poor billious mortals skins
of satin and snow, and the hair-dyes
and pomades and cosmetics of all sorts,
sell, we need not mention to prove the
facts. In France old ladies are being
made over, at the cost of half their
fortunes. Yes, we all wane to be
beautiful; and, if only our ideas of
beauty were what they should be, we
might accomplish our desire easily.
Meekness and love make all faces pleas
ant. Wure we good we should be
beautiful. We all feel this. There are
plain features so charming with the
sparkle of good numor, that we love
them. There are blemished faces so
' sweet that they are pleasanter to look
upon than the most perfect. After all,
it is in the expression that the actual
charm lies. So that were some one to
promise the secret of beauty for twenty-
five cents and a post-paid envelope, he
would scarcely be an impostor should lie
return the golden rule with instructions
to learn and praciice it. if we only
could do this earnestly and truly for one
generation, the next might wonder
whether it were not a fable that such u
thing as ugliness was ever known upon
earth.

A Woman's Work.
Could anything be a better illustra
tion of the way woman do their work as
compared with the way men do theirs,
than to look over a village of say, a
thousand families, on Monday? In a
thousand tlittle kitchens a thousand
women would he seen thrusting wood
into a thousand little cook stoves, heat
ing a thousand little wash boilers, bend
ing their backs oyer a thousand, little
washl.oard3, and hanging their clothes
in a thousand little clothes lines. If,
by some singular social revolution, the
men of such a village were to under
take to do the work, their first step
will he to get up a stock company, in
vest capital in building and machinery,
so organize the work that about a half
dozen men would do the work for the
whole town,receive good salaries there
for,and the rest of the men would go
about their own business on Monday
just as on any other d^ys.
