Among her numerous other
possessions, our town has
tier full share of old bachelors,
although they are by no means the
past redemption kind, just why
these men travel alone is not quite
clear, especially to a goodly num
ber of the tender sex who are
simply chasing their heads off in
an effort to catch a man.
Do you know that boys are
much more particular who they
go with than girls are! You maj
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 drunk he wont go with
her. We wish the girls of our
i town would be particular about
l whom they go with as the boys
I are.

These are the days when the dis
contented farmer’s fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of moving. The
great railwa}’ systems of the West,
flood the mails with manuals set
ting forth the beauties and virtues
of this and that region, each claim
ing to be par excellence the house
keeper’s paradise. Agriculture
has in this aspect taken the place
of mining. In former times the
“new country” that offered the
most attractions to settlers from a
distance, was that in which gold
was taken out of the ground in
big yellow nuggets or infinitesi
mal dust; in these later days the
search is still for a quick fortune,
but the medium exploited is the
growing crop, which can be turned
into gold, or green backs, by the
slower processes of planting, cul
tivating and harvesting; and the
pioneer now has for his emblems
the gang-plow and the reaping
machine, instead of the pick and
pan. Now, the advertising circu
lars teem with prints in which the
settler’s comfortable homestead
and happy family are shown, pro
jected against fields of heavy-head
ed grain, trees groaning under
apples and peaches proportionate
ly as large as watermelons, and
the cattle of a thousand hills
grouped in a pen by the side of
the railroad, awaiting rapid ship
ment to markets where buyers
stand in line, longing for the
chance to draw fat checks in pay
ment. While these pictures at
tract the eye, few, if any, have
ever bettered their condition by
leaving our own fair county, of
Woodruff, and few who have left
would only be too glad to be back.

The roots of nine-tenths of the
failures in integrity, the depar
tures from honesty, the deceits,
the trickery, lies in the false
standards of the home.
Some men say they are perfect
ly willing to spend their whole
lives in making their wives happy,
but they don’t spend any money
for the same purpose.

There is perhaps no place where
courage is more needed thau in
the home life by the tired house
wife and busy mother. Her daily
work is but a reputition of many
a yesterday. She is but human
and must sometimes feel worn and
discouraged, but a quiet confidence
that we shall be able to perform
whatever is right and necessary
generally carries us safely through
difficulties, keeping us strong and
calm amid the most trying duties.
No one fills a place of greater re
sponsibility, nor one more worthy
of the highest honors, than the
wise and faithful mother and
housekeeper, who loves her work
and acts on the principle that “it
is not what we do but how, that
makes us great.” Her example is
worthy of imitation by the noblest
of earth. There is nothing more
beautiful in life than the brave
spirit who thus lovingly performs
her part of the labors of earth,
asking no greater reward than the
consciousness of having done her
duty well and led her household
to Christ. Priceless, indeed,
must be the peace that stills her
heart in the hour of death, and
endless rest awaits the tired hands
when life is done.

The way never to have cloudy
weather is to have the sun inside
of you.
Home is where the heart is, a
place our feet may leave but not
our hearts. Home is where peace,
joy, comfort and happiuess .reign.
Where father whistles merrily,
where children are happy, joyous
and gay : where the family gathers
around the evening lamp, busy
with books, the needle, the papers
and the playthings and bask in
the sunshine of each other’s love.
“Home is not merely four square
walls Of wood and brick and
spacious halls. ”
THE JOY OF HOME.
Home life is the source of ex
quisite blessiug. There is noth
ing more attractive, refining and
uplifting than its simple joys and
fireside pleasures. The world has
pleasures gay and bright but noth
ing exceeds the joy of home and
bliss of our own fireside. It is the
place of gladness where burns the
firelight bright. We cross the
doorsill and enter its threshold to
find the garden of paradise. We
cannot be indifferent to the sweet
attractions, simple pleasures,
pleasant conversation and sweet
songs of the family circle. None
are more bright, more pure and
none more like the love of highest
heaven. It is more like heaven
than any spot on earth.
Some one has said, “It is a
---—_1
special creation of Christianity.”
There is no other spot on earth so
j dear. How men long for its
quiet and repose. “I long to see
home,” feels the sailor lad as he
: climbs the mast amid the storms
! on the ocean wave. “I am going
home,” says the business man as
he bars the door and shuts the
blinds after a day of vexatious
cares.
“Home,” shouts the school boy
when the day’s studies are over.
| “I must hurry home,” feels the
fond mother as she passes along
the crowded street thinking of the
ones who need her watchful care.
“’Tis sweet to hear the watch
dog’s honest bark,
Bay deep-mouthed welcome as
we draw near home;
’Tis sweet to know there is an
eye will mark
Our coming and look brighter
when we come.”
