Love is the best and strongest thing on earth, but impatience . can kill it. ' ; Speak kindly, it encourages the downcast, cheers the sorrying and f ten wakens the erring to earnest resolves to the better. Parents are indebted to their children for the constant incentives to noble living; for the perpetual re minder that you io not live in your self alone; for their sakes you are ad monished to put from you the debas ing appetite, the unworthy example of impulse; to gather into your lives every noble and heroic quality, every tender and attractive grace. must endure misfortunes, trails and disappointments. We cannot avoid these things, but we should not allow the harsh experiences to deaden : pur sensibilities or make us stoical or sour. The true problem of living is to keep oar hearts sweet and gentle in the hardest conditions and experi ences. If you remove the snow from the hillside in the late winter, you will find, sweet flowers growing there beneath the cold drifts, . unhurt by the storm and by the snowy blankets that have covered them. So could we keep our hearts tender and sensi tive beneath life's fiercest winter blasts, and through the longest years of suffering, and even in injustice and wrong treatment. This is true victorous living. For a home to be a home in the highest sense of the word, and not merely a place to sleep and eat, each member of the family must contrib ute his or hex share. There most be forebearance, sympathy and love. A great deal depends on the parents. They should in jfcbe eajely childhood of their children teach tftem jto make the iiome the dearest place pa earjtb.

It is where the giol 1b ever weloome, wheis fAehds delight 'to come and come again. Those that shut themselves from the world become selfish and narrow minded. It requires inter change of thought to expand the mind. And what is more delightful than the happy interchange of thought between friends in a happy home? POLITENESS. What is politeness? It consists of a sincere and honest, desire to pro mote the happiness of those around us, and not of false smiles and flat tering words. The word politeness i i i i t. means re u Kinaness, Kinaiy express ed and also good breeding or ele m gance ot manners. It is a trait which everyone admires and which confers upon its posessor a charm that does much to pave the way to success. It has been "said that "a plan's manners form his fortune." W&j$er this is really so or not, it" is Gertaio that his manners form his reputatioPt If hit; manners come di rectly from a kind hear, they will please to'h they be destitute of graceful polish. Politeness is as muSH required at home as elsewhere. We should do things willingly and cheerf ully.

He rushed upstairs to find out what was the matter. Galllfet heard him coming and endeavored to grab the carp and throw It out of the window and thus destroy the evidence of his poaching in the Imperial pood. But the slippery thing was hard to nold. so he tossed it into a bed and ''covered it up with the bedclothes. When the emperor entered the room, he noticed Immediately the quivering bedclothes. lie pulled them down and uncovered the floundering fish.
