|We dedicate this comer of TWx Coxsrmmox
to the ladlca They are Invited to express their
opinions herein—to tueitss their own. The cell
If the poem that la selected for oar King'
dom each week could only carry some lesson
home to the hearts of my readers, I. should
feel I had' accomplished a noble end. Tho
beautiftl lints gtren helow can bnt conic home
with force to many a heart. How often we
reproach ouraelvet for haaty or unkftid words
to “our own," though wo Ioto them boat; yet
the impatient speech le given to them, and tho
sweet emlla and gentile word la kept, for the
“stranger and cometlmo guezt.” There is no
pain that canequtl reproach. True, we often
■peak harshly to “our own” end aak their
forgiveness end receive the “kits oi peace,”
but the time might come when that would be
impossible, and then what would be our grief!
Let us give only kind and gentle wordi to our
loved ones es they go ioith in the morn to
mingle in the bney scenes and temptations ot
every day life, that they may entry them as
sweet incense in their hearts, cheering them
as the sunlight doss tbs. ilowers; and never
■ forgetting that “many go forth in tho morn
ingthat never come home at night, and
hearts have broken for words spoken, that
sorrow can never sot right.”
Bow wearily all the day
The words unkind
Would trouble my mind.
I said when yon went away
I bad been careful darling.
For glTcn you needless pain;
Bnt we vex • our own”
With look and tone—
Wc might never take beck again.
For though in the quiet evoniog
You may hive me the kits ol peace,
Yet it might bo
-That ncTer for mo
The pain ol the heart should cento.
Bow many go forth in the morning
That never come homo at night;
and hearts have broken
For harsh words spoken
That sorrow can never sot right.
We have careful thoughts for the stranger,
And smiles for tbs som e tf me gneat'
But oft lor "our own”
Tho bitter tone.
Though we love "our own" th s best.
Ah! lips with curve Impatient,
Ah I brow with that looaot scorn;
Twcreuciuel (ate
Were tbeuighttuolele
To undo tho work oi mors.
1 celled on a friend a few mornings ago and
was ushered inftfone of the cosiest,hrlgbtest.lll-
tie roome that It was ever my fatyto enter. It
wee not a homo of wealth or luxury, butthaic
was an air of oomfort and refinement that was
more pleuisg to the eye than anything alas.
There may bars been and I think theiro were,
some exptniive snd beautiful ornaments scat,
tend around, but my attention was not attrac
ted to them; bnt what I did ace snd what
mado tho moat impression was the arrange
ment of tho curtain* that fell biefore-ths only
window In this little love ol a room. Juit
opposite the door was.a large wind** and the
lecc curtain# that eovorod it were caught to-
gather by a lovely spray of autumn leavsi.
Borne tasty hand had arranged them, and as
the etlmeon, gold and brown leavee rested
upon the white lace it was very boautiful, and
yet simple. That liltlo spray ol ontumn leaves
gave me lood for thought. How easy it it to
adorn our hornet wbero we havo the desire.
Many imagina that il they have not the means
it ie useless to try and make homo look bright,
bn! sometimes the eimplo, natnral and home
made ornament Is the most attract! ve. There
ie no greater evidence ol rofinoment and cul
ture than this desire to decorate our homes,
and tho rapid progress that decorative art hae
made all over tho country epeake well for
the women ol our land. It It true that the
rich Indulge In many extravagances that the
lees fortunate ctneot, but when ws think of
it these things srs at lait equally divided.
Ged give* lome the means of gratifying all
their tails and when those who hare the
means look upon the beautilul ornaments
their rich neighbors have, they at ones osH
into uts til their inventive faculties that they
mey Imltatswhatthoy see and cannot obtain,
and In this way talanta are often developed
that would otherwise bo dormant. So God
gives tome money, snd others teats, and one
often accomplishes what the other does not.
Money could not have bought, nor art aup-
plitd, au ornament half so beautiful at that
hunch of antumn leaves gracefully plaesd
upon thoee curtains. And so there are many
wayeofdecorating our homes and making
beautiful things out of inexpensive material
and at the earns time giving ourwlrts useful
and pleasant employment, and feeling that
cur own tuts snd ingenuity has aecotsplishtd
ta much ai money could bars dons. For ws
sppreciate, tlwaye, mors highly, snylhing
that cost us trouble and labor. What ii
easily obtained le eeldom valued.

than lost. However, let us wait and hope for bet*
