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

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.

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.

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-

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.

to its height. He had always mistrust-

conscious, as he hal never been be-

for it all, the strayed pony,.leasing

Then silence, a rhythmic pause, and

by and by his fevered eyes lifted in
a prayer, slowly, up to the drowuiug

This done his gaunt figure swayed
a bit as he stood for a moment and
looked down at the helpless, whis-

been “bigger and stronger than he,

his steps forward to the dim, white
trail, tangling and twisting its tor-

the point of disappearing uncertainty.

fixed upon a dark spot directly in

It grew large and distorted, that
spot, to the eyes watching; which
opened wider, staringly, flashed and

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! He never meant—
