If mothers could only realize
what a critical period their children
are passing ihrdigh from the third
to the sixth year, they would exer-
cise more ihan ordinary care dur-
iiiR ihai lime. Not only physically
j hui menially and morally are they
undergoing a change for better or
! worse, according id the care and
i attention they receive from their
j mothers and fathers. A father is
i no more exempt from certain du
j ties toward his offspring than a
mother. He should always bear
' in mind that his assistance in the
i control of the children is of more
value to his lire J wife than the pre-
sentation of a costly gift. It is at
' this time that children begin 10 no
! tice papa's and mamma's bearing
; toward one another; let (his always
I be one of perfect courtesy and re
i spect. Nothing so tjuickly de
! stroys respect lor parents as con
I statu bickering in the presence of
j their children. The first thing a
j child should be taught is respect
j for his parents and elders; alrec- j
j tion comes naturally with most chil- j
; dren, and is a most valuable aid in
gaining control of theiractions;nexi
to that is respect; without ii very
little can be accomplished for the
child's action. Parents should
bear in mind that children lose re
spect very soon on hearing ihcm
disjgree; using bitter, cutting
words to each other. This is in
flicting the first actual pain the
baby hearts have been called upon
to bear. In the presence of this
the child experiences conflicting
emotions which ends in pity for
one parent and contempt for the
! other. O parent, pause, consider,
before you lose the hold on the Utile
! being who has heretofore consid
; ered you perfect. Let there be
unanimity of purpose in act, word
j and deed before these little creat-
ures, who are so susceptible to ev
' ery impression, if you would pre
! serve their love and respect.
t ONEOF"NICK" LONO WORTH'S
STORIES.
Mere is one "Nick" Longworth
is telling some of his colleagues in
the House:
An old negro was stopped on
the street on election day by a
white man who psked him if he
had voted.
"Yas, 'ndeed, I'se voted," re
plied the negro.
"Did you get anything for your
vote?"
"Oh, yas, sah. I got paid foh
mah vote."
"What did you get?"
"Well, sah, it was laik dis. De
Republicans come ter me and dey
says dey give $1 1 if me and my
three boys vote de Republican tick
et, and I took de money; an' de
Democrats come ter me and dey
says dey give me $7 foh mah vote
and mah boys' votes, an' I took de
money."
"You took the money from both
sides. Then which ticket did you
vote?"
"Oh, I voted the Democratic
ticket."
"Thy so? The Republicans
gave you the most money."
"I voted foh de Democrats foh
jes' dat reason dey wasn't as cor
rupt as de Republicans." New

Out of the tomb of night a day has risen; be not anxious, this day
is all your own; do not hurry, for in time it is like all other days; neith
er delay, for NOW is passing. Lat ly turn your face to the dawn and
let its fresh beam;- bathe away all the stains of night, then should the
noon be dark with storms, your smile will wear the rose lints of the
morning. This new day can be saved only by spending it; therefore,
in its care be enduring; in its confusion be patient; in its sorrow be
trustful; in its trial be noble; in its peril be heroic. Step softly among
human hearts and leave so much of kindness along life's pathway, that
gladness shall spring up bearing tribute in the cool eventide of the
world's glad Paster. D. E. Croft.
Just Imprint On Her Lips An Oc
casional "Lovers' Kiss.''
Where one wife is now kissed
with some pretence at regularity by
the man who was always swearing
before marriage that he would eat
her up before the year was out, it
is sale to say that ninety seven
other women go moping around
j the house with lips parching from
neglect, burning biscuits and run
ning down shoes in sheer despair,
For the want of that encourage
ment an occasional kiss would
j probably give. This is not as it
should be for a kiss after marriage
is relished equally with those be
fore and if you want to see your
wife tripping about with melody in
her soul and feet like cork just im
print on her lips an occasional
"Lovers' Kiss."
All that most married women
need to make them beings of light
and jewels of gladness is more
kisses from the old man and less
growling about how the potatoes
are fried. No woman can be an
angel without a slip of nectar now
and then, and the husband who
Fails to grant a supply of ambrosia
to the sprites in hushii, who make
paradise on earth a possibility, de
serve to be "henpecked" all his
j days.

I last night."
I "I don'i see why"
"No; neither could we. It nev
er stopped before this morning,
because it stopped at 7 o'clock last
evening, and so I set the clock by
it, and that was wrong, and my
husband missed the train to the
city, and the children were late to
school."
"Not pleasant, of course, but"
"Oh! but I haven't told you.
You see, my husband, after miss
ing his regular train, concluded to

furniture."

THE OLD BUCK MAMMY.
'Tis easy to wander oft' from my theme
When traveling over the ground;
Thro' evergreen pastures across the bright stream
When in fancy I wander around.
And see in the picture which never grows older
Tho' age chills the blood which never grows colder.
In fancy I see those good old negroes again
I loved in the days long ago,
As they worked in the fields of cotton and grain
And sun as they chopped wiih the hoe;
1 can never forget, wherever I roam,
The scenes ot my childhood and home.
The dear old black mammy, so gentle and lender,
So faithful a"lid true to her trust
I loved her so well 1 dared not offend her;
She is gone, yet 1 honor her dust.
From the wells of my heart arise tears of regret;
Tho' she sleeps 'neath the sod, I can never forget.
She was lovely to me in her colored bandanna
With which she unbailed her head;
Her songs were far sweeter than flute or piano
As she put me to sleep in my bed;
Her soft crooning voice 1 can never forget,
Like an angel, in dreams, she comes to me yet.

ONE FAIR FACE,
The might of one fair face sublimes my love,
For it hath weaned my heart of low desires;
Nor death I heed, nor purgatorial fires.
Thy beauty, aniepasi of joys above,
Instructs nie in the bliss that saints approve;
For 0, how good, how beautiful, must be
The God that made so good a thing as thee,
So fair an imagine of the heavenly Dove !
Forgive me if I can not turn away,
From those sweet eyes that are my earthly heaven,
For they are guiding stars, benignly given
To tempt my fooisicps to the upward way;
And if I dwi.ll too fondly in thy sight,
1 live and love in God's peculiar light.
