I want all the boys, and all the girls, too, to read this and see if they are JlKC liarry. IJO iney iry uu iimivc things easy for mother? Do they help to carry mother's burdeus? Do you notice if there is any water in; if mother has wood to cook the dinner? Oh, children, do try to make things easy for mother. Now read thisslowly. "Come, Harry! it's seven o'clock, and snowing fast," called his mother from the foot of the stairs. "Yes, mother. Why didn't you call me before? There'll be the paths to sweep before school, and I like to do them before breakfast." "I thought you were tired, dear, and needed a morning nap." "Please do not humor me in that way, mother; you know I'm the one to take care of you." It did not take Harry long to dress that morning, although he did not slight his simple toilet; neither did he forget to kneel down and ask God's help upon the beginning of the new dav: but he was out of bed with a bound and bis fingers flew fast. "Nodrones in this hive, are there, mamee," he said, running down stairs, and giving his mother a resounding kiss. "Shall I have time to do anything before breakfast?" 'No, dear; the bell is just going to ring." "Excuse me, please, mother, this morning," Harry said, as he fiuished before the rest. "I want everything easy for you before I go to school." A happy smile was her only answer : but she said, as the door closed behiud liim: "Dear boy! I believe that is the motto of his life-I want to make things easy for mother. He's never too tired or busy to help me. He's solid comfort." "iice soiia goia; a ooy worm Having," said Uncle Ned; "I wish there were more of them." Harry found the broom, and began sweeping the snow away on either side of the path with a will. Suddeuly looking up, he saw a lady watching him from across the way. "Good morning, Mrs. Martin," he said, lifting his hat. "Isn't this a royal morning for work ?" "I should think you thought so, my dear," she replied. "You seem to make easy work of everything. How does it happen?" "O! I don't know ma'am. Boys ought to be ready for everything. I thiuk. Work comes easy to me; I'm 1 M yOllllg UIIU HirUUKi juu Miun, "So is Jamie; out he makes a fuss over everything he does. I wish he could catch some of your spirit.? You'll make your mark "in the world i if you keep on as you've begun, Har- j ry." "And I mean to Mrs. Martin, if God spares my life. I must make things easy for mother, you know." Mrs. Martin sighed. "I wish Jamie felt so," she said. "Perhaps he don't feel the need of doing, because you're rich, Mrs. Martin. We're poor, you know; but we ahant always be so," and Harry's broom flew faster and faster over the frozen ground. "Excuse me if I talk and work, too," he said. "Mother needs me in the house before school. I have to be boy and girl too, you see." "Don't you find that pretty hard, my child?" "O, no! I dou't like wiping dishes as well as sweeping snow, to be sure; but that's no matter. I never stop to thiuk what I like; it's what's got to oe cone to save moiner. "Bless you, my boy! "Don't you ever think of yourself?" "O, yes, indeed ! I'm a selfish cub any way; but I'm trying to do better every day, and it's easier since I asked God to help me before I begin." "Areyou a Christian, Harry?" "O, yes'm!. I've belonged to the army of the Lord just a year, and it's been the happiest year of my life.? Fighting Satan and sin is great fun when a boy sets about it. I don't mean he shall conquer, Mrs. Martin. I like to knock him a blow whenever I can. Good morning." Mre. Martin stood looking after the brave, bright boy, who had already begun to be a blessing in the world, uutil he disappeared out of sight. | "Those are the boys who are wanted," she said; "Those are the boys, who are wanted." I ^ t Tbe JLltcHen. Last in the thoughts of many, the kitoben should come first in the thoughts of all who wish to keep house successfully. Far from being an unimportant factor in the comfort of the family, it plays a part really superior to the parlor. Yet how much is lavt ishly spent to make that room beautiful ana attractive in houses where the kitchen is damp, dark, small, and insufficiently supplied with conveniences for doing the nousework. See to it, friends, that the kitchen utensils are whole, in good order, and handy to use. If you cannot have the new chair, the dainty vase, the longed-for . rug for the drawing-room, have at least enough spiders, sauce-pans, pots and grid-irons for the easy preparation of the meals. Let the kitehen be wellgpf* T lighted aud cheerful, with a painted floor if possible, or a bright, thick oil cloth. Have one strong, large table, aud a couple of smaller ones, with chairs that are comfortable, as well as ^ serviceable. I believe in making the kitchen an inviting place, and in keeping its appliances up to the times, just as a farmer insists on having the latest labor-saving contrivances in his fields and barns. Far too many women * spend their energies wastefully in "making things do," after the things in question are worn out and fit for the junk-shop. This is mistaken economy.? Christian Intelligencer. When we are most filled with heavenly love, and only then, are we best fitted to bear with human infirmity, to live above it and forget its burden, i . "Pact." No one with a delicate touch will' try to polish a piece of wood by rub-j bing it against the ^rain. Jseither will any one considerate of u cat's feelings stroke pussy's fur the wrong way. Men and women are of more value than mahogany or cats, and should be treated with a more delicate touch, or tact?for tact is moral touch?even when we do them good, or confer on them a favor. A man of tact is one who readily ap- j preciates and gracefully does what isj required by circumstances?no morej and no less. If he does a neighborly | act, he takes care that it does not bur- j den the neighbor with a feeling of ob- j ligation. Should he be made the confidant of, angry friend, he listens, but guards! his lips. For he remembers the prin-1 ciple of the worldly-wise author ofj "Lacon": "Never join with your friend when he abuses liis horse or his wife, unless the one is about to be sold, t or the other to be buried." The world is not so pleasant a place | to live in as it might be, because there! are so many good people who have an ! idea that the more bitter the mediciue : the more virtue there is in it. We all j live by the side of some Turk who] thinks he honors us by putting the; food into our mouths with his greasy! fingers. j A robust old gentleman gave hisseat; to a lady who entered a crowded street-! ear. "Take my seat, sir, please; J i never like to see an old person stand," j said a young miss, jumping up and of-: fering her seat to the old gentleman. Her motive was kind, but her manner wa9 patronizing. It rebuked the lady for taking the old gentleman's seat, and it emphasized her own youth and the old gentlemau's age. Had she been a girl of tact, she would have risen with the old man, and said, "Allow me, sir, to ofl'er the lady my seat." An elderly lady, standing in a streetcar, was offered a seat by a young lady, who, rising, said, "I am younger than you; I will stand." "Suit yourself," replied the lady, with emphatic brusqueness; for the drawing of the line between her own age and the youth of the other touched her pride. She remained standing, and the young lady wondered, becauseshe was not sufficiently sensitive to be conscious of herowu want of tact. ? Various Auswers. The questions. "What shall I teach my daughter?" i3 one of the questions of the day, and one that receive almost as many answers as there are parents. A Southern exchange says the question was propounded at a social gathering iu a Southern city, and received the following answers: Teach her that one hundred cents make a dollar. Teach her how to arrange the parlor a??u uic jiuiat j Teach her to say "No" and mean it, or "Yes" and stick to it. Teach her how to wear a calico dress, aud to wear it like a queen. Teach her how to sew on buttons, darn stockings, and mend gloves. Teach her to dress for health and | comfort as well as for appearance. Teach her to cultivate flowers and toj keep the kitchen garden. Teach her to make the neatest room j in the house. Teach her to have nothing to do with ! intemperate or dissolute young men. i Teach her that tight lacing is uncomely as well as injurious to health, i Teach her to regard the morals and ! habits, and not money, in selectingI her associates. Teach her to observe the old rule:! "A place for everything and everything in its place." xeauu ner mat iiiusiu, uiudhi^, ???* . painting are real accomplishments in I I he home, and are uot to be neglected , if there be lime and money for their; use. Teach her the important truism thatj "the more she lives within her income | the more she will save, and the further! she will getaway from the poor-house." | Teach her that a good, bteady, i Church-going mechanic, farmer, clerk,; or teacher without a cent is worth I more than forty loafers or non-produc- j ers in broadcloth. Teach her to embrace every opportunity for reading, and to select such books as will give her the most useful; and practical information in order to; make the best progress in earlier as! well as later home and school iife. Separate Beds.?The London: JLtClTlQCl guys luai inert; IS uuiuiii^ inai will so derange the nervous system of! a person who is.eliminative in nervous [ force, as to lie all night in bed with an-| other who is absorbent of nervous force. The latter will sleep soundly! all night, and arise refreshed in thej morning, while the former will toss; restlessly, and awake in the morning! fretful, peevish, faint-hearted and dis-j couraged. No two persons, no matter; who they are, should habitually sleep j together. The one will thrive, the' other will lose. This is the law. The j grandmother with her little grand-i child is a case in point. The aged one j keeps strong; the little one pines - ftw/J Krv/v/\r*? AO r\Y\ fnnKloH A lcw1\T ttWUJ auu UCWIUW VUH-VUIWU, iwuj | in middle life informed us tliAt she ha-i bitually arose in the morning nervous, j worried and weak, while her husband! would sleep soundly all night. The; touch of his foot, eveu, would awaken j nervousness and discomfort, while he; seemed to be wholly unaffected. To some of extreme susceptibility j the fact that one sleeps with 'the bed : pointing east and west is ominous. It i is said by some scientific men to bej little less than suicidal for certain par-! ties thus to locate their couches. The proper position of the bed, they say, is north and south, In harmony with the magnet currents. Aside from this admitted law there are other reasons why this plea for separate beds should be heeded. It is a matter of cleanliness, health and morality as well. Each person should have his own couch as truly as his own seat at the table. Nothing teaches patience like a gar-1 den. All have to wait for the fruit of the earth. You may go around and i watch the opening bud from day to day; but it takes its own time, and you cannot urge it on faster. If fore- j ed.it is only torn to pieces. All the) best results of a garden, like those of life, are slowly but regularly progress- j ive. Each year does a work that noth- j ing but a year could do. "Learn to la bor and to wait," is one of the besti lessons of a gardeu. All that is good ; takes time, and comes only by growth, j There is a time in every man's edu- j cation when he arrives at the convic-; tion that envy is ignorance; that imi-! tation is suicide; that he must take I himself for better or for worse, as his ( portion; that, though the wide uni-i verse is full of good, no kernel of: nourishing corn cau come to him but j through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given him to till. Consult thy duty more than thy difficulty. ' " *. r*: % To the Bojs. Whatever you are. l>e brave, boys!

But whatever yon are, be true, boys! he visible through and through, boys; Leave to others the shamming, The "greening" and "cramming," In fun and in earnest, be true, boys! In Marrying a Poor Max.?An advantage over a poor girl that the rich one had in marrying a poor man is that a woman of the world, who has seen much of society, rarely suffers from that morbid sslf-consciousness which is the most frequent form of snobbishness to be found among small gentlefolks, and which makes them ever prone to take offence and to think that every little action of their neighbors is the result of deliberate intention. Half the "slights" and "insults" of which such people complain are quite unintentional, and are caused by that forgetfulness which is the natural outcome of the hurried existence of those busy bees of fashion or of hard work, who are the most usual offenders. The adaptability of women is truly wonderful, and the poor man's wife will if clio hue di'aii mnHprMfp infplli genee, in a short time emerge from the anxious, over-careful period of her early married life ; and having discovered the scale at which her new income will permit her to live, she will find that her previous knowledge of how things ought to be done will enable her to become that most excellent type of a housewife, one who can combine elegance with economy. We do not mean to assert that every rich girl is fitted to be a poor man's wife, or that every poor girl is unsuitable. In every position there are women unlikely to be good wives to anybody, and others who could hardly fail to do their duty in any stale of life to which they may be called. But taking girls of average goodness and intelligence, it will be found tint the rich ones are more often happy and contented in small houses than those who have never lived in anythingelsc.
