A Column Dedicated to Tired Mothers A | Join the | Home | Circle at | Evening | Tide. Depart- | ment. Young man, did you ever think that it is not manly or noble to make your- self appear tough? If you are tough, people will find it out soon enough without your trying to make it so prominent. A gentleman is always respected by a gentleman, while a tough is respected by toughs. Do you know that boys are much more particular who they go with than girls are? You may think this is a strange statement, but it is so. A girl will go on the streets with a boy that gets drunk, but if a boy finds out that the girl gets dronk, he won’t go with her. We wish our girls would be as particular about whom they go with as the boys are. Be as careful to keep the weeds out of the minds of your children as you are to keep them out of your garden. But remember something will grow there. If you don’t plant them with good grain, the tares will take root in spite of you. Keep a library of "good, clean books, and by all means keep your home paper before them. If young boys and girls could only understand how happy it makes their parents when they are doing well and conducting themselves like ladies and gentlemen, it seems to us they would make a greater effort than they do to avoid evil deeds and acts. A greater part of the pleasures in this life, to parents, is found in the success and welfare of their children going out of their home. And much of the misery is caused by waywardness and misdeeds of sons and daughters. If there is one thing above another a young man should be ashamed of do- ing, it is loafing without aim. purpose or profit, on the streets or in stores, day after day, all week. If you have nothing to do, stay at home—a part of the timeat any rate. No young man with any self respect will content him- . self with aspiring to no higher reputa- tion than that of a chronic loafer and a store box magnate. Nothing will so blunt the higher faculties of the mind as inactivity ; and no inactivity is so baneful and malevolent in its effect as that voluntary idleness termed loafing. Let us say to benedicts, young and old, if you did but show an ordinary civility toward those common articles ‘of housekeeping—your wives—if you would give them a hundred and six- teenth part of the compliments you al- most choked them with before you were married, fewer women would seek for other sources of affection. Praise your wife, then, for all the good quali- ties she has, and you may rest assured that her deficiencies are counter bal- anced by your own. We have great respect for the woni- an who knows how to spare herself. for the one who knows when she has work- ed enough. We haye respect for the one who has the courage to say, “I am not strong enough to sew for the heath- en and do my home duties also, and my home is first,” and who dares sit in her house and see others conduct sewing societies. This is no plea for idleness, or for selfishness that is like a canker to the soul, only a plea for a knowledge of one’s own powers and limitations, for a courage according to the con- victions, for a judgment that is en- lightened and generous, not only to- wards others, but towards herself. . It is the daily life that tests us, the manner of men we are. It is not our prayers. it is not our profession, but it is the tone of daily intercourse and conduct that decides how we stand. AGED LOVERS, A writer tells of a pleasant evening he once spent with an aged couple, and in his account of it he says: Although this couple was basking in the sunset of a well spent life, they were as de- voted to each other as when the “‘honey- moon” first shown in their pathway. We could not but compliment our friend upon his devotion to his aged . companion, and in reply he said to us: “You mistake me if you think. age has blotted out my heart. Though silver hair falls over a brow all furrowed, yet I love all nature, and Ilove yon aged dame. Look at Her face is careworn, but it has ever held a smile for me.. Often have i I shared the same bitter cup with her, : and so shared, it seems almost sweet. Years of sickness have stolen the fresh- ness of life ; but like the faded rose, the perfume of her love is richer than when in the full bloom of youth and : maturity. Together we have wept over : graves. : we have clung together, and now she Through sunshine and storm sits with her knitting. her cap quaintly “ frilled, the old style kerchief crossed . white ang above the heart that d true for me; the dim shrinkingly front the ight throwing a part- her brow and leaves of wrinkles, an- 3 Bo NT * I gelic radiance. I see, though no one else can, the bright, glad young face that won me first, and the glowing love of forty years thrills through my heart till tears come. Though this form be bowed, God imparts eternal life within. Let the ear be deaf, the eye blind, the hands palsied, the limbs withered, the brain clouded, yet the heart—the true heart—may hold such wealth of love that all flowers of death and the vic- torious grave shall not be able to put out this quenchless flame.” As we meandered home we eould but think what a heaven upon earth this would be if such devotion existed be- tween all who had taken the marriage vow. To such a couple the mellow rays of life’s sunset are the most beau- tiful of any on the long journey from the cradle to the grave. CRIMINAL COURT. A Long List of Cases Scheduled for Next Week.

E. H. Miller. 3-1 ————————————— DISCIPLINE. We have geen schools that were as quiet as a room full of horrors. We have seen the pupils sitting in strained positions, with head erect, hands by side, or arms folded, turning neither to the right nor the left, or, if moving, moving slowly, almost wearily with downcast eye, on tip-toe, with hands clasped behind the back, whispering not. similing not, with the light of the eve dull, and all the joyousness of of the petty tyrant in charge. formatory institution and we can remember how glad we world, where child smile and hear the merry laugh and earnest, happy voices of those who were free. We have heard such schools praised as models of excellence, as schools of faultless discipline, whose teachers, so earnest, so skilled, were worthy of me- morials in brass or marble. We never heard what became of those teachers. We are inclined to think that the progressing waves of modern educational thought have over- thrown or overlapped them, and have left to us no trace of their doings or existence. Tt was not discipline, it was cruelty, torture. or deviltry. It was the ope pression of a wenk child by a strong man or woman. It developed neither strength of character, nor nobility of purpose. It drove out all joyousness, all love, and made the child worse by far than if it had trained with the gam- Who ean ins of the gutter. say lives have not been pet cruelty of some petted or <ullenness, the petty spite been the result of acts of oppression, er of his byhood? Too much discipline. too much rule ne in the formalities of the school- room is far worse than the absence of all restraining rules. For, if a child is guided properly, carefully, thought- fully, it will develop for good, but if it is continually and forcibly held back, if it is deprived cf all freedom of speech or action, it will place itself in antagon- ism to the teacher, to the authority of the school, to society. The antagonism wins in the contest, but it is at the ex- pense of society. The bad boy, so made by this faulty discipline, becomes a bad man. Who is responsible? Many of the so-called disobediences of children are not willful. Many of their bad deeds are the results of un- controllable impulses. Very few of their bad acts are the results of delib- erate thought. Many of them are the results of parentage—of home training and surroundings. Should we not, then, carefully and patiently guide a child into the right path, if we suspect such influences? Shall we beat it back, or seold it back? Or shall we, when it wanders from the path, place it again on the track untll the little feet, by constant going, have worn a path from and for its own traveling.

The full moon rose over the wide desert, turning the chaperal into tawny beauty. The man got to his feet unsteadily, with a look of fear in his eyes. Hig glance stared across the grim level, down the faint, white line of the trail, then back, to fall upon the face of his companion, and the look deepened. Sleeping? He knelt feebly, aguin placing his hand upon the face of his companion and the look deepened As he did so the always smoulder- ing wrath of his soul toward taat other man-—milee ahead now—tuat man who had robbed them, swelled to its height. He had always mistrust- ed him, but his hate had never as- sumed strength as this. He became conscious, as he hal never been be- fore, that that man was responsible for it all, the strayed pony,.leasing water bottle, even to the crowing horror and certainty of his—and tii.8 his brother's—death.

A groan choked past the lump in the. throat of the man listening, and by and by his fevered eyes lifted in a prayer, slowly, up to the drowuiug deeps. “Save him, oh, God!—not me.

It grew large and distorted, that spot, to the eyes watching; which opened wider, staringly, flashed and steadied, and a great cry rose to the man’s lips—choked—soundless; while a sudden gpasm, wild and glad, swept his face, and he dropped weekly to his knees. “Jim—it's Jim!
