lis your father rich?” someone asked a five year old girl;
and the little one replied confidently, “Why, of course, he’s
got me.” And she was right, too, for the father of a sweet,
loving, helpful little daughter is richer than some millionaire
whose money cannot buy them the love of a single heart.
llow about your father? Does he think he is a rich man
beeause of the daughter at home? There are households
where “it is hard to make both ends meet,” but where there
is plenty of that better wealth of love and kindness and loy
alty. Is yours one of them?
The true home maker is a happy combination of the “Mar
tha” and the “Mary” sort of women, for while not “trou
bled about many things,” she leaves none of the essential
things undone, and yet, “chooses lhe better part,” and gives
to love the first best place. Her house is healthfully clean
from cellar to attic, but painfully nea nowhere; she is or
derly and sympathetic enough to keep the machinery run
ning smoothly, and not so prim that any one is afraid of in
curring reproachful looxs or words by misplacing a chair ;
and if books and papers are now and then left scattered a
round, one is not told of it next morning at the breakfast ta
ble. The meals are well cooked and served on time, the beds
thoroughly aired every morning, and sunshine and fresh air
coaxed into the farthest corner of every room.
A cheerful, happy home is the sweetest place on earth,
and the greatest safeguard against temptation for the young.
Parents should spare no pains to make home a cheerful place
There should be pictures to adorn the walls, flowers to cul
tivate the finer sensibilities, entertaining books, instructive
newspapers and periodicals. These things, no doubt, cost
money, hut not a tithe the amount that one of the lesser
vices costs, vices which are sure to be acquired away from
home, but seldom there. Then there should be social pleas
ure, a gathering of old and young around th* hearthstone, a
warm welcome to the neighbor who drops into pass a pleas
ant hour. There should be music and reading. In this way
each member of the family looks forward to the hour of re
union as the brighest one of the twenty-four.
Let not the young man, who is living beyond his income,
deceive himself with the sophistry that he will retrieve his
position. Let him not build air castles of future successes
that will redeem the past, only to be crushed beneath their
ruins. Out of your present you are building your future and
as surely as night follows day you will reap that which you
you have sown. He not deceived. The law is Inexorable.
You cannot escape the consequences of your case. If you
sow tares in the springtime of your life, these will make your
harvest jif good fruit, then will the autumn fill your grana
aries. Remember, too, that there is but one seed time, and
that lor you is fraught with weal or woe. There is but one
garnering time and it rests alone with you alone whether
you shall garner honor or shame, success or galling pover-*
ty, righteousness or unrighteousness.
Our young people must be tanght that “all is not gold that
"litters,” and “that tine dress does not make the man or wo
man.” We must Degin right if we expect to rear our chil
dren up to contentment and happiness. Teach them to be
industrious and not idle away their time. There are so many
young people todav that are living only in the present, danc
ing away golden hours, when they should be thinking, stud
ying and working. Girls should be taught how to manage
and <eep house while with mother. Af she grows older, let
the mantle gradually fall from mother’s shoulders onto hers,
and when she is called to a home of her Ovvn she will not
j feel at a loss. She will know how and where to begin. We
know there are mothers now toiling to keep grown girls from
work when they are able and would willingly do it, had they
not been brought up with the idea instilled into their heads
that young ladies must not mar their beauty by work.
Nothing impresses us more than the lack of enjoyment
some parents have during the children’s happiest days. Eith
er conscience so tyranizes over them that they have no real
pleasure, or they are haunted by a fear that some evil will
befall their darlings, or the cares of life are so clamorous and
incessant that they have no respite from their stress and
While the children are young and vve are young with them,
let us take the sweetness which belongs to us.
