Pleasant Evening Reveries —A Column Dedi cated to Tired Mothers as They Join the Home Circle at Evening Tide. 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.
