rSx. The cdltres* will answer quesrieas or accept
mfieadsmawlth pie wire. I
V.’c would atk every woman who reads these
ctlnmnr, to especially given few moments to
tie reading of the beautiful lines given below,
they wen written by an Atlanta lady; a re
ined, intelligent, Christian woman; she sends
the contribution with the hope, "that it may
encourage some weary mother fainting under
tho bordons and perplex! tiea of every day
life.”
"Duty It the mbUmest word in our language,
General R. Lea]
] think 1 hear some gentle woman say,
'Ha well for heroee in tho club of strife
To speak of duty's grand sublimity,
But J, who hsvc to spend the whole ofltfe
in vexing household ceres, that day by day
Repeats the same unvarying dull routine,
] cannot tot e grind or noble scene,
in sheltered nest of home, I know 'lit true
The stage Is smell, end hid from public view,
A woman's duties are but little things,
A household angel ne'er can use her wings,
gte hu ro many weary steps to take;
And while all else may sleep, aha still mutt wake,
To meed the little garments laid aside
Trom restless forms that scarcely can abide
Cue momentum, from mom 'till even tide,
Ail of bar time seems filled with trifles, yet
Poor tired patient mother, ne’er forget.
The smallest act, if done because 'lla right.
Is never held u trivial la His sight,
It may he, standing la thatworld of light,
Before tho Xing upon hit great whim throne,
Whose vision clou so far exceeds our own—
The life, however, thet.ti spent
In deny acts of self denying love,
May In ths aggregate, outweigh above
The deed whose praise o'er the earth was sent.
And there, ths heroes who were men's just pride
May reverently have to step aside,
And while heaven rlnga with an excultant psalm
Ths tumble mother take* the victor’s palm.
Atlanta. CAR run a Goodman.
One very important dnty devolving upsn
mothers, seem in these days, to bo sadly neg
lected; viz., the cultivation of good manners
in their'childres. Soma mothers have an idea
that children iatintlvely learn these things as
they.grow older, but this la a sad mistake; a-
child neglected in ita early training will never
really overcome the many careless habits then
formed;’the only way le to begin early and
form the mshnerr for tho home circle as if
they were for the eyesof tho whole world; And
first, and most Important, Is their tablo mam
*era; nothing impressM ona more with’ the re
finement and cultivation of a person thin the
manner In which they eat. Show ms a lady or
gentleman at the table and I can toll you at
once from their table manners how they have
been raised, and whether they are really en
titled to be admitted to good society. Hence
the importance of beginning early to form a
child's manners. Children, as a niual thing
come to table (first) Just as they coma from
play, when they should be required always to
follow the good example set ua by the Jews,
end never eat without first washing; they
should he taught to have their hair neatly
bruehed and hands and nalla clean; but how
often is It otherwise; they wait nntll their
elders have taken their teats then rush in urn
tidy and noisy and in a Horry, demand this,
and want that, and neually one fools as if Bed
lam had broken looae. I remember a remark
1 heard an old lady make once that Impressed
me very forcibly; she lived with her daughter,
who bad quite a family, and they were all
great talkers, and when they assombled around
the tablo the oonfhiion was dreadful, and the
dear old grandmother said to me once:
“Btally tho children make so much
noise and talk so much that I don’t
taste a thing I eat; my meal does
me so good.” 1 laughed at the time at the
queer idea, but I have been at tables and truly
felt tbe force of the remark, A little girl with
whom I am dally associated, and often re
proved at the table for any breach of etiquette,
was tailing me once of a little friend with
whom she bed been spending ths day; tho hsd
been very much shocked at her behavior at
table, and she said to me: "She had the worse
table manners I ever saw, they were even
worse then mine;’’so she thought the could
give me an idea of just how bad they wore,
and from that time the child began to im
prove, for abe had been made to feel by seeing
in another how diigracsfbl bad habits were;
whit she would never have realized other
wise. And so it would be with many mothers,
if they could only realise for a moment now
their children appear to others; we become as-
enstomed to tbsir ways and often allow them
to do things that era not altogether proper, for
tie simple reason that it is too mnch trouble
to be continually correcting them, but this is a
great mistake; children can he so easily trained
if taken early. They are so quickly impreseed
and first impressions always last longest. A
child’s mannsa to older persons should be
watched. How refreshing it la to go into a
room and see a child come forward politely
and offer their hand and speak pleasantly, or
offer the best seat In the room to a visitor; I
ay refreshing because It Is a sight wa seldom
behold, it oftener occurs that a child draws
back and refuses to speak and is an annoyance
to the mother during the stay of her visitor.
How.we uk,whore fault Is this state of affaire?
the child’s or mother’s? Lab the mothers
answer the question. I do not bolieve in ex
cluding children from tho room whoa visitors
call; it is not only pleasant tosses clean wall
behaved child, but it le good for thoehildto
be thrown into good society, and' they are
easier and less embarrassed in tbsir manners
by being allowed to be In the society of elder
people, bat they should be early taught to be
quiet, gentle and poilte,'not “seldom seen and
never heard,’’ but rather , often' seen end
seldom heard would bo mnch more te s child’*,
advantage. A child often JialBg.oBV'topam,
the boon pleasantly away. A correspondent
of the New York Feet writing from France
(peaks of the good manners of tho boy land
girls and aay they ero remarkable in this re
spect, and goes on to aay among other things:
"It seems to me that I nsver saw a cross, or
uncivil, or disobedient French child. Then
la no fretting among the girls and no fighting
among the boys. They era nicely mannered,
too; lees shy and awkward than the Anglo-
Saxon youngsters Is apt to be; qaicker in
speech, in salutations, and in the small courte
sies of their age. It was pretty to tee these
boys and girl* greet each other of e morning.
Marcello, who was twelve years old, put out
hex cheek to be kissed by Henri, who was
' eleven years old; then, without any blushing,
without any awkward consciousness they
linked hands and ran to join thatr comrades.”
Let our mothers take this subject to heart,
they can scarcely realize the Importance of it,
and they have been negligent in the past; be
gin at once to correct errors and be more care*
fnl is ths future in regard to tho manners of
theix children.
I would Ilka to call tbe attention of tho cor
respondents again to the sending of letters to
he forwarded and not Inclosed stamps. I now
held seven Icttarsand cards to be forwarded,
bat mo stamps. I mention this that thoie who
fail to receive answers will understand tie
csn!e. Alee, that hereafter nothing will be
inUiikcd axiom the xame ef the suiter is
sent to the editress, it esn be withheld from
publication, bnt must be signed to tba trticle.
A few weeks since there appeared a communi
cation from "Lennie,” Galveston, also one
from A. L. B., Lisbon, Texas, and although
they have been requested to send full address
have not done so; there are twelve letters
(with postage enclosed,) now welting
“Lennio’s” address, and aa many or more far
A. S. B. I trust that three rules that govern
this department will hereafter be strictly ad
hered to. First, no communlcatiou published
without foil namo sent with it. Second, no
letter accepted written on both sides of tho
page. Third, no letter forwarded or answered
without stamps enclosed. These rales ere so
simple that wo hope all will read and be
governed thereby. -
TVhat Shall the Children Read?
This la a question that every mother ahould de
cide for herself, end judge whether It Is good or
■nd before the child reads the first line. Don't
ssy you've not time-take tbe time to retd a large
share ef the hook, or glance over the paper, before
it is laid on the table for public uie. A quick. In-
telligent eje, and a mother's eye, also, prill do
woudtrsinaturalntororof leaves, reading bore
and there a few words, seeing if tbe languid la
pure, the style gracetnl, and the moral healthful.
Much of harm is done to the young people by their
reading sensational stories or tbe "blood and
thunder” style, smuggled In end retd secretly, or
In seme esses, openly. In illustrated weeklies hare
caused many boys to rob end fly from their
homes, reeking for “worlds to conquer,” bring
mg up in a railroad station and returned home.
Much of the blame la to bo laid to tho mothers-
too much indulgence from a mother hu ruined
more families than a father’s harshness—bad books
and had companions being easy stepping stones to
wickedness. A good mother will dot great deal
towards forming her children’s character. Tho
first few years they are wholly under her influence
and she la all to them; then the school life begins,
and teacher and schoolmates broaden tba view,
but the mother must not ralinqnlsh her watchful
ness but interest herself In their studies, plays,
companions, and make herself necessary to their
bapplneu. Keep hold ofthechlldren, don’t let
them grow array from you. A mother should
never grow old to her sons and daughters: bo one
of them and gain their oonfldenoe; be their com
panion, even If yon lose the acquaintance of some
of your own age. Uetter make rood men and wo
men or your chlldren ibin be a leader of fashion.
But about the reading. "What shall they read?"

For Ornamental Planting.
1 never knew the efibetivenea of foxgloves untl
I raw them recently in great numbers standing
agalnit a background of shrubbery or maswd on a
lake border in low, rich ground. Canterbury bellr,
too; are admirable border plants. The seeds can
now be sown and the plants covered slightly
through the winter for next year's flowering.
The common white ascension lily to'comlng well
into bloom and each year it seems more pure and
fragrant. The green btckgronnd also brings out
this flower finely, and an occasional atalk in a
mass of tall blue larkspurs makes a combination
to remember.

every other morning for a week, and, with an
Interval of three days, taken again during another

complexion. Early and long sleep will aid mite-
rlally in giving a healthy tone and glow to the
complexion.
A fine cosmetic can bo made by taking O'
