the oompanioneip of a little child
has carelessly passed by one of
the greatest pleasures of life, as
ore passes a rare flower without
plucking it or knowing its vafue.
And to you whose homes are
blessed with the little prattlers,
have patience and enjoy them
while you may. They will not
trouble you long. Children grow
up—nothing on earth grows so
fast as children. It was but yes-
terday, and that lad was playing
with tops, a buoyant boy. He is
a man and gone now. There ia
no more childhood for him nor
for us. Life has claimed him-
When a beginning is made, it is
like a raveling stocking, stitch
by stitch gives way until all are
gone. The house has not a child
in it—there is no more noise in
the hall—boys rush in pell-mell;
it ia very orderly now. There are
no more skates or sleds, bats,
balls or strings left scattered
around, things are neat now.
There is no delay now for sleepy
folks; there is no longer any task
before you lie down, or looking
after any body and tucking in the
bedclothes.
Oh for some children’s noise!
We wish our neighbor wouldlend
us an urohin or two to make a
little noise in these premises. A
£iom« without children is like a
garden and no flowers. We v.ant

hear children at work with aii its

kisses them good-night with

Hen of Courage Wanted.
More men of courage. Surely
that is what the world needs to
make it better.
Not the courage to fight and
die on the field of battle, but to
live in one’s daily work whon
there is much to depress; to keep
on in the struggle whan failure
attends the footsteps; to utand at
the post of duty when it iw an ob-
scure one and no voice of kind
appreciation ia heard.
We need men with courage to
tell the truth at the counter, even
if a sale be missed, to rebuke
him who utters a profane word
in a public place; to speak on the
unpopular ©ids of a question,
and to vote, from deep convic-
tion, with a small majority. We
need men with courage of refuse

end. Work, play, study, what-1
ever it is: take hold at onoe and
finish it up squarely; then to the
next thing, without letting any j
moments drop between. It is
wonderful to see how many hour
these prompt people contrive to
make of a day; it is as if they
picked up the momenta that tbe
dwadlers lost- And if you find
yourself where you have so many
things pressing upon you that
you hardly know how to begin

the rest all fall into file, and foi -

drilled soldiers; ami though work
may be hard to meet when it
obarges in a squad, it is easily
vanquished if you can bring it
into line.
What is seeded most of all in
bringing up children is example.
What they see and hoar and
take ia by absorption in their
young years will, in most oases,
become the ruling traits of their
lives. Parents rarely fully real-
ize to what extent they stand as
models to their children.
