In the home life never forget ?that the children have social Vlghts, and the chief among these is the right to laugh when they are happy, to cry when they are unhappy, and |o make a noise. - ? ? ? ? The sphere of the woman is to preside over the home as its. light and inspiration. No charms so cap tivating, uo grace Bu irresislable, no / spirits so exuberant, no wit so cheer no ^conversation so fascinating, no culture so varied but can find in ?ried charms. ? ? ? Character makes the man; char ts act er plus culture makes the gen tleman and the true gentleman is the real nobleman of this world. Cu itire is the rose on the breast of character. Wear It that you may make life not only useful and hon orable, but high, sweet and helpful, noble and divine. ? ? w Why is it that good mechanics of almost every kind are so scarce, and are commanding their own price, while so mauy young men are turning their backs upon their fath er's calling, and lying in wait for oppojptunlty to measure calico be tween dingy walls, fourteen hours a day, for a mere pittance? ? ? ? The mothers ~of this town who are responsible for the girls who gad the str should stop and think what they are doing. These ? girls are nO longer children. They are- at - the tmpresBlonabfe- age. (Where will you have their impres sion come from ? from the riff of the street b r from home? It is for the mothers of this town to settlo the~*questlon, ? ? ? The house ^and home require & head the dame as any other busi ness. No study is of greater im portance to a girl; after marriage she often wishes she knew more of cooking' and less of Latin. Money and love combined does not form a safeguard where there Is domestic incapacity. A woman who is capa ble of filling her home In every fcense of the word Is worthy of more true applanse^thaa if she possessed r- many- accomplishments. Every good act. Is charity. An ? exhortation of your fellowmen to virtuous deeds is equal to aims giving; yourputtlng a wanderer on the right track to charity t your re moving stones and thorns and other (obstructions from the road is chari ty. A man's true" wealth hereafter is the good be does in this world ,to his fellowmen. When he dies people will say, "What property has he left behind hi^a.'; But the angels who examine him in the grave will ask, "What goqd deeds hast thou sent before thee?" ?* . ? * There- is an opportunity for ev ery young man to become an honor ed cltlxen, and &o many, oh so many precious boys, are allowing them selves to be carried along, apparent ly caring but little about their fu ture* We do admire a manly boy, one who triefa to become a man, and we alwaya feel like helping him nlong. Tt\e boy whb steps out from among evM associates, gives tobac- j co the go'by, has the true grit and j deserves ? to be helped. It takes considerable to turn one's back up-j ' cn those whom he has been asso ciating with and we admire the , pluck of one who does so. NEWS AT CAS8ATT. I Casaatt, S."0., Sept. 27. ?

He realises that they re quire different lights, soils, mois ture, uhade and attention. The treatment that would make a rose win a gold medal at a horticultur al show might kill ap orchid. He studies the plants, their habits, needs, peculiarities and Individuali ty. He seeks to discover how eaoh giows naturally. He does not for?je his process on Nature;- but seeks humbly to follow her guidance and revelation. He realises that Nature not only deals but leads. Parents uo not always realise that in show ing us how children grow most naturally. Nature is revealing to uh the best methods of training them. r~s:..r Girls that have not the smallest vestige of taste for music, apprecia te by the strongest microscope of optimism or charity, are often com pelled to sit for hours practicing, punishing the piano and the neigh bors, subjecting themselves to a menial Irritation that is ruffling and destructvle of clear thinking. Then when the day of reokonlng forties and an account of stock is taken , the parent, not finding the dividends proportioned to the In vestment, mercilessly callB the poor k irl'-s attention to the hundreds of Iciiuis spent in her musical educa tion and accuses her of Ingratitude in not heing equal to her opportuni ty. It was really the parent that was not equal* A small fraction Qf the amount spent ins this penal ser vitude to music, if expended in art, language, or some power or taste in the direction of the girl's Indi viduality, might have made her hap py for. years and have broadened her entire mental and- moral - devel opment. Children lostl lost! lost! ? Harken to the startled cry. Children lodtl lost! , Oh men, your cities are full of them; and they are your children your own tender little ones; moth ers, the babies that in smiling in nocence upon your bosoms; the dear, brave boys that looked up to you in perfect confidence aud warm impulse love. Your homes are lone ly without them, your hearts sire hungry for their love. Oh, you mis them now; the darlings of other years; you want the little hatyds in your own once more; you want the warm kiss upon your aching brow. But life hurries on, and lost! lo*t! ever ringsv through the darkened aisles of time. One by one the drunkard's graves yawn wide an somebody's darling Is gone,. The midnight revel add the gambling den covers Its ghastly dead, and the homes are in sackcloth and aor i*>w sits a familiar guest by many a heartstone. Brave beloved boys, noble men, fair browed maidens and mature womanhood. Oh, how the> fall and perish; and the land is full of "Rachels, weeping for their. chil dren who will not be comforted be cause they are not." " IiUGOFF ITKM8. Lugoff.f.S. C. .Sept. 27. ?
