THE HOME CIRCLE.
Column Devoted To Tired Mothers As
They Join Th Home Circle At Evening
Tide
Patience is a flower that does
not grow in every, garden.
It is easier to keep a friend
than to recover him when lost.
Your character cannot be
essentially injured but by your
own acts. v
Hi
The beautiful is needed 1nlti6i
community life. We all -have
characters to build, strengthen
and maintain. We need the
beautiful. Dress and live as
savages in action. The city or
village totally void " of beauty
would-be the abode of the sen
sual, immoral and lawless. A
community of taste and beauty
must necessarily be composed of
refitted and cultured people, and
truexulturt leads to higher mor
ality. There are about our vill
age many things that commend
it. There are things that are
capable of improvement. " Public
sentiment jwill do much jtoward
beautifying our dwelling, our
streets and alleys. Neatness,
taste and beauty help us all.
Our moral life would be higher
and our social life purer.
After all that has been said
about rare treasures of art and
nature that may lead attraction
to a home and its surroundings,
it remains that the fairest home
ornaments are bright joyous faces
and where these are wanting, all
else goes for little. Bright and
joyous faces always accompany
warm and loving hearts which
all true homemakers must
possess. Hence all who intend
making homes should look care
fully into their own hearts: for
only when these are right can
they expect their homemaking
to ! prove -satisfactory. Warm
hearts make bright and cheerful
hearts, but the warmest heart
cannot thaw the icy heart. Love
is the great homemaker, that
makes even the' drudgery of
house keeping a pleasure, and
home life a foretaste of the bliss
of heaven. One cannot get too
much love into 'one's homemak
ing, but easily too little. ;
RETURNING HOME.
! I
ar.d realize one's dream. It is
wholesome, may be for a man to
return after many years to a
community which he left for his
fettle with the great world, but
he is apt to have had knocks
l Ul.Uie iUCUtt W11CIC
w r.d take, without exposing
.. roselr when he leaves the
line, to "wounds in the
' -: of his friends." Certain
ied illusions in the mind of
ian who goes back are
id to die like golden butter
- bitten of the frost they
: things of the bright day
' ;he warm sun, and cold kills
E very man, however old,
kept a place in his heart
w'I're abide his recollections of
ins native town, and the place is
young and fresh as a glade over
which the soft April sun has
passed. He runs a; sad risk of
1 ' ' - ' . JS 1 1
having the youth ot mm , cnmea
and withered when he takes the
pilgrim's staff and scrip and
starts on his sentimental journey
disheartening to go back; it is
satisfying, maybe, just maybe,
4 nevertheless.
As I wandered round the homestead.
Many a dear familiar spot 1
Brought within my recollection
Scene I'd seemingly forget;
There the orchard meadow yonder
Here the deep old fashioned well,
" no us old moss-covered bucket,
Sent a thrill no tongue can' tell.
Though the house was held by strangers -All
remained the samp' within;
Jusf as when a child I rambled ' "
I Up and down and out and in. i
the vital Question.
, The great national question of
the day is not, "What are we
going to do with the negro" or
"tariff ' It is more vital, more
individual and more spiritual.
It is what are we going to do to
vitalize the minds of ' our boys
and girls at home and make it
the nightly throne of inspira
tion? We hear some one say.
' 'You are all theory, give us a
basis to work upon." If you
are looking for a fixed set of
rules for making a home happy
and attractive, you are looking
in; vain. The government of no
two homes is likely to be the
same Homes are as varied in
disposition as the minds of men.
What makes one laugh 'might
cause- tears for another. Have
the making of home a place of
joy, pleasure and profit, as any
other part of our daily, work.
Do not save the frownsof busi
ness worry for your fireside;- Do
not encourage common gossip
among your children. Do not
teach them to measure manhood
by the man's capacity to make
money. Do not teach them that
money makes you a good man.
Oftentimes the first question
asked about a stranger is. Ho w
much money has he. " We try
not to be pessimistic, to think
we, as a nation; are growing'
stronger in the iattributes of
ideal manhood, yet it is hard to
do. It. is hard til do. In the
mighty struggle for power,'
fame and position we have been
led astray by false gods.
Let us go back to find the old
trail marked out by our pioneer
fathers, and with one mighty
voice say. "I had rjather be
right than president." 'j
No place is more suitable for
this than the fireside, and no
fireside more than around which
is gathered a goodly number of
robust,; rosy-cheeked country
children, unsophisticated uncon
taminated, they will drink in
knowledge. , Why not teach them
to do right.
Oh, woman! thank God that
you have a home and that you
may be queen in it. Better be
there than wear a Victoria's
coronet. Better be there than
carry the purse, of a princess.
Your abode may be humble, but
you can, b y your faith in
God, and your cheerfulness of
demeanor, gild it with splendors
such as an upholster's hand
never yet kindled. There are
abodes in 'every city humble,
two stories J four plain, unpapered
rooms; undesirable neighborho6d;
and yet there is a man- who
would die on the threshold rather
than surrender. Why? It i s
home. Whenever he thinks of
it he sees angels of God hovering
about it. The 'ladders of heaven
are let down to that house.
Over the child's rough crib
there are the chantings of
angels that broke over Bethle
hem. It is home. These chil
dren may come up after awhile,
and they may win high positions.
and they may have an affluent
residence; but they will not un
til their dying day forget that
humble roof, under which their
father rested, and their mother
sang, and their sisters played.
Why should hearts spend
years on earth growing into one,
knitting life into life, blending
soul into soul, for a union that is
not to reach beyond the valley
of shadows? Husbands, you are
the head of the home, why not
be the head of the home for
eternity. ,
