THE HOME CIRCLE. A Column Devoted TV Tired Mothers As ' They Join The Home Circle At Evening Tide. : . -;" ';VT TRIBUTE TO HOME. The English poet James Mont gomery, a jnan of rare and subtle poeticHnjluenceV pays the following beautiful tribute to the home in his famous ode: There is a land ef every land the pride. Beloved by Heaven o'er all the world beside;. Where brighter suns dispense serener light, v And milder moons emparadise the night; A land of beauty, virtue, valor, truth, 1 ime-tuto-ed age, and love-exalted youth; The wandering mariner, whose eye explores The wealthiest isles, the most enchanting shores. Views not a realm so beautiful and fair, Nor breathes the spirit of a purer air: In. every clime the magnet of his soul, Touched by the remembrance, trembles to the pole; For in this land of Heaven's peculiar grace, The heritage of nature's noblest race, There is a spot of earth supremely blest, A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest, Where man, creation's tyrant, casts aside His sword and scepter, pageantry and pride, While in hi3 softened looks benignly blend The sire, the sun, the husband, brother; friend: Here woman reigns; the mother, daughter, wife, Strew with fresh flowers the narrow way of life! In the clear heaven of her delightful eye, An angel-guard of loves and graces lie; Arouud her knees domestic duties meet, And fireside pleasures gambol at her feet; Where shall that land, that spot of earth be found? Art thou a man? a patriot? look around; 0, thou shalt find hewe'er thy footsteps roam, That land thy country, and thai spot thy home. Why not study your wife as you study your business partner? Why not be as tactful and as patient with her as you are with him? Why not entertain and amuse her and the children as you'tlo your customers and -patrons? Those whom we really love we desire to. save pain. But man who ignors the ten things done f ofhis: comf orty and scolds- liis mf e about some little thing she left undone, is neither a good husband nor a good christian. One of the most peaceful homes we ever entered was made so by the sunny-hearted 'wife of a cross-grained husband. The mother's view of life was reflect ed by the Children, and in spite of an unamiable host, -guests found the home full of rest and cheer. Children should be taught the importance of persistency. It is not necessary that they should early choose their vocation; yet it is necessary that, when they do choose it they should choose it for life. An occupation once chosen should be entered upon with a feeling that there is no other occupation. The ships should be burned behind. So long as there is i n the mind a lingering thought that after all some other occupation will constitute the life work, failure is almost cer tain, for the mind is not concen trated, and its acts are like the acts of those who are half in jest. The first law of friendship is sincerity; and he who violates this law, will soon find himself destitute, of what he so erringly seeks i tcrgain; for the deceitful heart o such an one will soon be tray itself, and feel the contempt due to insincerity. The world is so full of selfishness, that, true -LiicllUolup la BC1UUU1 JV i it is often sought for paltry gain by the base and designing. Be- hold the toiling miser, with the; illgotten and worthless treasures; i his soul 'is never moved, by the hallowed influence of the sacred . boon of friendship, which re news again on earth lost Eden's faded bloom, and flings hope's halcyon halo over the wastes of ; life. The envious manhetooj seeks to " gain the applause .of others for an unholy usage, by which he may usurp' a : seat of preeminence for himself. Self love, the spring of motion, acts upon his soul. All are fond of praise, and many are dishonest in the use of means to obtain it; hence it is of ten difficult to distinguish- between true and false friendship. Our best friends are beneath our own roof. A family circle when each member is link ed to the other by home ties, is where you find friendship in its tmadulterated and pure form. One of the saddest sights is that of a young man who, with out ever having asked himself if He possessed sufficient strength of nerve to endure the strain of an intellectual career, has been graduated heavily in debt, and has sacrificed what little health and constitution he had for a college course. No one told him that, even if he should obtain his degree, he would be totally un fitted to excel in intellectual pursuits, and would be doomed to perpetual mediocrity. He thought that if he could only get through college, even if he were broken in health and in purse, he could get on somehow. He is no' longer content with his former lot, his ambition is poisoned by visions of impossible goals, his Vitality exhusted, his energies scattered, and so for the youth who might have become a useful farmer or a skilful mechanic, staggers under his load of pecum iary obligation, ilL health, and unsatisfied ambition, until death relieves him of his misery. There are many, such young men in every community. The par ents and not the young men are to blame for this. Before John is ten years old his parents de cide to make a doctor, a lawyer or a professor out of him. When John developes he will naturally take to the calling he is best adapted to as a duck does t to water. Wait for those develop ments before trying to. mould a lawyer but of natural mechanic or farmer. In this community, like all others, we have a few penurious farmers whose prosperity and happiness is crippled by their Own avarice. Such a' man is likely to be found using a wooden plow which his father left him. He goes barefooted week days in order to make his shoes last two years of Sundays. If he buys a new coat he must pay for it with beans or some product of the farm. He could not think of selling the beans for money and then bying the coat for ' that would be paying money for the coat. Indeed, he has well-nigh dispensed with that instrument of civilization money. He has gone back so far toward barbar ism that he desires to barter in stead of buy and sell with money. His home circle is not a happy one. The business man frowns when he is seen coming into the store or. office. His children do not run to meet him. If he would open his purse-strings for one week the old world would look brighter, his home would seem like heaven and the bright faces that would meet him at the door would more than compensate him for the little money that it re quired to bring about this radical change. This same class of far mers borrow this paper each week oi their poorer, out more happy neighbors. When they come after it this week just mark this article before giving it to ; them.
