A mighty defence for young man is a good home. Some of our readers look back wiih tender satisfaction to their early home. It may have been rude, rustic, hidden among the hills and architect or upholsterer never planned or adorned it. But all the fresco on princely walls never look ed soenticing to you as those rough hewn rafters. You can think of no park or arbor ol trees planted on a I'ashioii.ilile country seal soalttac live a 1 1 it plain lnouk that tan in front of the old farm house and sang under the weeping willows. No barred gateway adorned with siaitie of brone, and swung open by olisetuous porter in lull dress, has half the glory of the old swing gate. Many of you have a second dwelling place, your adopted home, toat also is sacred forever. There you built the first family altar. There your children were born. All those trees you planted. That room is sacred, because once in it, over the hot pillow, llappd the wing of death. Under thai roof you expect, when your work is done, to lie down and die. You try with many words to tell of excel lency of the place, but you fail. There is only one word in the En glish language that can describe your feeling. It is "home." TEMPTATION. It may be that 1 dreamed a dream; it may be that I saw The forecast of a time to come, by some supernal law. It seemed to dwell in this same world, and in this modern time; Yet nowhere was there sight or sound of poverty or crown. All strife had ceased; men were disarmed; and ttuict l'eace had A thousand avenues for toil, in place of War's grim trade. From east to west, from north to south, where high ways smooth broad Tied State to State, the waste lands bloomed like garden spots of God There were no beggars in the street; there were no unemployed, Tor each man owned his plot of ground, and labored and enjoyed. Sweet children grew like garden flowers; all strong and fair to sec; And when 1 marveled at this sight, thus spoke a voice to me: "All Motherhood is now an art; the greatest art on earth; And nowhere is there known the crime of one unwelcome birth. lrom rights of parentage, the sick and sinful are debarred; For Matron Science keeps our house, and at the door stands guard. Vl'e know the cure for darkness lies in letting in the light; And Prisons are replaced by Schools, where wrong views change to ; ims done in th right. The wisdom, knowledge, study, thought, once bent on beast and sod Vl'e give now to the human race, the highest work of Cod; And, as the gard'ner chooses seed, so we select with cate; And as our Man Plant grows, o give linn soil and sun and air. There are no slums; no homeless poor, all men arc opulent, For mother earth belongs to them, as was the First Intent." It may be that I dreamed a dream; it may be that I saw The forecast of a time to come, by some supernal law. lilla Wheeler Wilcox, in (iood Housekeeping. THE MODEL HUSBAND.

He took the gum habit after a conference of Iowa physicians had warned hint that he must either stop smoking or till a grave. They suggested chewing chip as a substitute for my .day Nicotine. The only time he has smoked in ten years was on a hot day last summer while out campaigning. He stopped to talk with an old far mer who was putting at a corncob pipe. The smoke got into Hep resenative Prouty's nose, and as soon as he reached town he rush ed into his olfice, grabbed his sec retary by the arm, and almost shouted: "l-'or goodness sake dig out that pipe of yours and give me a putt!

It's getting time o' year now when May swings into bloom, And all the peach and apple trees are reeking with perfume. A panoramic glory gilds the morning in the east, With an iridescent glamor of a mighty sumptuous least. The blackbird in the hollow and the robin in the tree, Are shouting halleujahs up to heaven and to me; The forest trees are budding with a freshness rich and rare, And pronounce a benediction through the blossom-scented air. The south wind in his rambles, searches every shady nook, And gathers sweetest perfume from the blossoms by the brook. The sun in gorgeous splendor smiles upon the sprouting grain; The flowers nodding to and fro are welcoming the rain. I love to hear the droning of the husky bumble-bee, As he tumbles through the meadow in a muffled ecstasy. 1 love to hear the ripple of the bustling little rills, And the music of the breees as they kiss the daffodils. There is something that is pleasing ev'ry minute of the day, When May-time brings the blossoms out and flaunts her banners gay. All the glories of the seasons in a single bunch appear For the blossoming of nature is the sweetest time of year. It's a part of my religion I would like to have you know, That a loving smile's an antidote for ev'ry human woe. It's a trite and useful saying and its secret I'll impart, When your thoughts are with the flowers there's no winter in the heart.

Yet there ! are fewer good husbands ihan good wives, take the land over. !
