Don’t think that inoney is wastei in buying^ pretty paper and bright' colored paint for the decorations of the nursery.

Don’t shake or scold a child who Wakes up and cries mc in the night.i Oft^.n night terrors are a purely nerv ous affection.. and any harshness only makes matters worse. Don’t say “dosi't” id your liitle one Remepilwr to tell the child w’hat ho is to t!o, not what he is not to do. _0 — REVERIE OF A YOUXG FABMEB 0.\ A WJNTER yiGBT. 't *—0—^ E| C. Fo.=;ler in St. Louis Republic. —0— The evenin’ fire is buriiiii’ low. And as I sit alone A-watchin’ it my heart goes out To him without a home. My wife and babe are in their beds. But on a night like this I like to sit and watch the fire j ^ And hear the elm hiss. It fills my room with ruddy warmth 'Though through the trees outsid. The cold wind wails as moui’nfully As though someone had died. Above the patter of the rain 1 hear the lowing kine— The borj^es stamping in thtir stalls— My l»ty grunting swine. ¥ D’you know ther’s ioniethin’ creepy . , ’bout Tlie sounds that *'p^p throiigh |is o njyht ?
