A The Persian proverb wisely saith, r "A lengthy tongue, an early death." V Or sometimes take this form Instead; W "JDon't let your tongue cut off your head." 5 "The toneue can speak a word whose W speed," 0 Says the Chinese, "outstrips the steed." ^ While Arab sages this impart; . m "Tne tongue's great storehouse is the \ heart." m From Heorew wit tne maxim sprung: \ "Though feet should slip, ne'er let the T tongue." 4 The sacred writer crowns tbe whole: J "Who keepB his tongue doth keep his soul." 5. $ CORNER CREEK.

W THE DINNING BOOM. v? Bhnnlil ho Mmln Attentive to the Eye?And tbe Conversation Should be Sweel to the Sonl. Human nature is so susceptible to externals, while good digestion is so depeendent upon tbe conditions surrounding us, tbat all tbe accessories ot pleasant environment?neatness, cheeriness and good breeding?should be brought into requisition for the daily gathering of the family at mealtime. The dining room should oe one of the. airiest, pleasantest rooms in the bouse. Let plants, flowers and pictures have a place in its appointments, tbat the association with things bright and beautiful may help to set the keynote of our own lives in cheerful accord. Let the table around which the family meals are taken be at all times a model of nestness and simplicity. Says a writer upon this topic: "There ia no silent educator in tbe household that has higher raDk than the table. Surrounded each day by the family who are eager for refreshment of body and spirit, its impressions sink deep, and its influences for good or ill form no mean part bf the warp and woof of our lives. Its fresh, damask, bright silver, glass, and china give beautiful lessons in neatness, order and taste; its damask soiled, rumpled and torn; its silver diugy; its glass cloudy and china nicked, annoy and yex us at 1 fiirst, and instil their lessons of carelessness and disorder. An attractive, well-ordered table is an incentive, to good manners, and being a place where one is invited to linger, it tends to control the bad habit of fast eating." The hour of meal service should be made cheery wnn origin, sparKiiug, and appropriate conversation, that the only attraction about the meal may not be merely the food. It seems to me that the table conversation, if properly directed, can be made to serve as a most efficient help in educating children to understand that the purpose of eating is not merely the appeasement of hunger or gratification of the palate, but the acquiement of strength for labor or study, that we may be better fitted for usefulness in the world. If of all the family gatherings that of meal-time is made the most genial and pleasant, and one in which the children csn participate, the meal-time will be haHed with delight because of the social pleasure it affords, while the mere pleasure^ of eating will take a second place. The benefits which will thus accure from such a "feast of reason and flow of soul" are many. Not only will it help in making appetite subservient, but it will aid digestion, and, if properly planned, the table talk may i be an excellent means of stimulating thought and conversational power in the children.
