THE. HOME CIRCLE.
A Colurrn Devoted Tos Tired Mothers. As
They Join The Home Circle At Evening
TiJ' ' ;
The path of life runs so crook
ed that we cannot see around the
curves.
The home is the place where
all the joys of life may exist in
their ripest fruition.
The leaving of home is an ex
perience in- one's life freighted
with momentous consequences.
Mother! your life is not insig
nificant. It is not and cannot be
isolated from universal signifi
cance,.' for your boy shall bear it
into the great -Jide that never
ebbs.
Every soul in-jthe . universe
ves alone. :There is a dark "cur
tain dropped before the windows
of the house which hides it from
the view of all. Everyone has
felt this" l6neliness even in the
midst of crowds.
Without a -fireside, man's
domestic nature, from which he
derives by far the largest amount
of his earthly enjoyment, cannot
but remain cold and almost en
tirely inactive. This'department
of his nature can be kept alive
only by, the best of hearthstone.
Tuee is something grand, and
inspiring in a : lyoung man "who
fails iquarely, .after doing his
level best and then enters the
contest again and again with un
daunted qqrage' and. redoubled
energy. , We Shave no fears 'for
the youth who is not disheartened
at failure. "
The world, it is said, is always
looking for men who are not for
sale: men who are honest, sound
from t center to circumference,
true jto the" hearts core; men
whos consciences are osr steady
as thi, needle to the pole; men
wno will stand for the right if the
heavens totter and the earth reels;
men who can tell the truth and
look the world and the devil right
in the eye; men that neither brag
nor run; men that neither flag
mr flinch; . men who can have
courage without shouting to it;
men in whom the courage, of
everlasting life runs still, deep
and strong; men Who know their
message, and .'tell. -it: men who
know their places and fill them;
men who know their own business
and attend to it; men who will
not lie, shirk nor dodge; men who
are not too lazy to work, not too
protilxitKe'poor men who are
willing tiT feat what they have
earned and wear what they have
paid for; men who' are not afraid
to say "No' with emphasis, and
who are' not ashamed to "say "I
can't afford it ' We have a large
number of boys growing up in
this community who will make
just such men and also not a few
who will make the opposite.
Young man, in which class shall
we register your name?
ABUSE OF PUBLIC TRUSTS.
Our daily papers are now filled
with . details, p f corruption i n
public places. The most promi
nent men in the land : are being
tried for -abuses :and graft."
The cities of Philadelphia and
Chicago are just now furnishing
us some object lessons-. Young
men who read the daily papers
will naturally think that to be a
leader of men one has to be cor
rupt. "' Such is hot the case.
There is not a land on earth which
has so many moral men i n
authority as this land. - There is
i tot a session of a legislation or
congress but in jt jare thoroughly
good and honest men -men whose
fingers never touched a bride,
whose cTfteek r ha s v never been
flushed tfaittf intoxication, whose
tongue has never. been smitten of

blasphemy or stung of a lie.
These times are not half so bad
as times that are gone. We know
this from the fact that Aaron
Burr, a man filled with iniquity
until he could hold no more, was
a member of the legislature, then
attorney-general, then a senator
of the United States, then vice
president and then came within
one vote of the highest position
in the natiom ; More than a half
a century ago the governor of
New York had to adjourn the leg
islature because it was too corrupt
to sit in council. There is a tend
ency at the present time to extort
the past Jto the disadvantage of
the present, and we have a right
to think, taking the .past . as a
guide, that sixty years from how
there may be persons who will
represent some of us. as ; angels,
although now things are so un
promising and we see much cor
ruption in high places. But the
evils of the past are ho excuse for
the public wickedness of today.
Those of us who occupy editorial
chairs should not t hold back the
truth. If we keep back the truth
what will we do in the day wlien
the Lord rises up in judgment
and we are tried v not onlv for
what we have saidi but for what
we have declined to say.
When we open up the scroll of
public wickedness we find incom
petent men in office. It is no sin
to be ignorant of medicine but -if
ignorant of medical science it is a
sin to piace yourseu amonsr
professional men and trifle with
the lives of others. Our states
men are more wise than in form
er years. At one time in the con
gress of the United States a tariff
was placed upon linseed oil and
another tariff upon flaxseed oil,
and those wise congressman did
not know that they were both one
and the same oil. We have had
and still have a few in our legis
lature, who did notfcnow whether
to vote y es 6r "not 'until ? they re
ceived the sign from their leader.
Incompetency in office is one of
the greatest crimes of this day,
but : we are improving. The sen
ators who were more celebrated
for -their; drunkenness" than for
their statesmanship are dead or
compelled to stay at home. Brib
ery is cursing this land. Some
of the finest houses of our cities
are built out of money paid for
votes in t h,e legislature: But
with all th$ rottenness that exists
we are growing better and if the
mothers of this land will spend
: . ?-i . ' . t
more evenings witn tneir sons
than they do at clubs, and read
to them the Honie Circle Column
in this paper, and other good
reading matter, we may look for
greater - improvements in the
jers in every walk of life.
