THE .TRUE HOME.
pHIS ia the true nature of home it is the place of Peace ; .
the shelter, not only from all injury, but from all terror,
doubt, and division. In so far as it is not this, it is not
home; so far as the anxieties of the outer life penetrate in
to it, and the inconsistently minded, unknown, unloved, or
hostile society of the outer world is allowed by either hus
band or wife to cross the threshold, it ceases to be home; it
, is then only a part of that outer world which you have roofed
over, and lighted fire in. But so far as it is a sacred place,
a vestal temple, a temple of the hearth watched over by
household gods, before whose face none may come, but those
whom they can receive, with love so far as it is this, and
roof and fire are types only of a nobler shade and light,
shade as of the rock in a weary land, and light as of the
Pharos in the stormy sea; so far it vindicates the name,
and fulfills the praise, of home. "
And wherever a true wife comes, this home is always
round kct.-iThe stars onlyjnay be over her head ; the glow
worm in the night-cold grass may be the only fire at her
feet : but home is yet wherever she is ; and for a noble wo
man it stretches far round her, better than ceiled with cedar,

Repeatijighotguns
USED IN THE U. S, ARMY.
The U. S. Army authorities know a gun ; that
is why, when they decided to equip some troops
with repeating shotguns, they selected the Win
chester in preference to all other makes. . The
experts of the U. S. Ordnance Board also know
a gun ; that's why, after submitting a Winches
ter Repeating Shotgun to all sorts of tests, they
pronounced it safe, sure, strong and simple. If
you want a shotgun buy the one whose
strength and reliability led . the U. S. Army
authorities to select it and the U. S. Ordnance
Board to endorse it that's the Winchester.
