How much better Is a plain, quiet Christian home, where all Is peace ind cordiality, the neighbors heart ly welcome to come and go a/tt will, tnd freed from the pestering, and enseless conventionalities of faah onable life!

If you want, tp keep your children away from places of sin, you can only do It by making your homo attractive. ? ? ? The home, be It ever so humble, is the one sweet spot to which all eyea are longingly turned, and from which all happiness radiates. The proud boi.it of the old Kng lish common law thai "a man's homo Is his castle." ihe foui winds of heaven might '#iow thru its chinks and crannies but the king himself might not cross 4.ts threshold unbidden. Only the law's stern necessity in puraujt of orimo could authorlzo an unwoh.ome intru sion. The sanctity of 'ormcv limes still scrupulously surrounds It, and the sacredness of Its portal has vb?ot) | but enhanced by the advancement of civilization. The modern home need? neither towers, battlements, nor bastions to proteot it from the assaults of the powerful. The humblest citizen to defend his low ly shack can Invoke the protecting arm of the whole nation. The governments of all the world foster the love of home. Liberal lawB are enacted with this end In view. The public domain is gener ously bestowed upon bonafldo set tlers. The various states, without, we believe, a single exception, have exempted the homes' from seizure for even a Just debt. In short, the protection and sacredness of the home goes side by side with that of the person. It Is the commend able desire of every worthy citizen to be the owner of his own home in fee simple, and to encourage this desire have all these beneflclent laws been enacte.d Notice.

Yet who did hot often complain, and certainly she did not remember it against you, for when you were Kick don't you remember how she hovered ov er your bed? Don't you remember how oool and soft her hand felt when she passed it acrons your forehoad? And when your faco was red hot and your Hps parched, 4 she kissed you. She did not stop to think about those modern germs; little she would have cared anyway! Mother always understood your troubles, and she never laughed at you when you took her. into your confidence. ( Of course as you grew older, she stopped kissing you. It wasn't cause she didn't want to; but you were beginning to feel too impor tant and dignified for klssiug, and* she understood. Mothers always understand. Is your mother dead? If she is, you can recall 1,000 things you meant to do to lighten her burdenB ? and forgot. You can I even remember a few cross words you spoke one time ? and doesn't ithe memory hurt? Mother did a great deal for you. She nursed yon i in sickness, prayed for you in temp tation, wept with you in sorrow, an Joyed in your success a^id good fortune. She worked for you at night and by day ? and what have you done to repay her? Let me tell you what you do. If your mother is alive, and I hopo she is, sit down rigl^t now and write her a letter. It has been sometime since you wrote. Tell her how you Btill lovo her; tell her that business cares have claimed your attention, but that you havo J not forgotten her nor all her kind nesses. Thank her humbly for the multitude of her services. There never was, nor ever will be, another woman like mother. Be kind to her. Poplar Camp No. 30U W. O. W.
