HOME CIRCLE COLUMN.
A Column Dedicated to Tired
Mothers as They Join the Home
Circle at Eventide.

More severing of tender chords and more
wounds that never heal, resutt from the
mother's drath than from any other event
that can take place in any home.
More hearts pine away in secret anguish,
for the want of kindness from those who
should be their comforters than from any
other calamity in life. A word of kindness
is a seed which when dropped by chance
springs up a flower.
There Is a true enjoyment in that friend
ship which has its source in the innocence
and uprightness -of a true heart, A sym
pathizing heart finds an echo in sympathiz
ing bos ms that bring back cheering mus
ic to thejspirit of the loveliest Be all hon
or totrue friendship and may it gather yet
more fragrant blossoms from the dew-bathed
meadows of social intercourse, to spread
along the toil-worn road of life.
With all the, marvelous .drapery in
thought, poetry and song, the worth of
mother love has never been told. After
the zenith of physical capacity has been
reached we hold onto the shattered body
with a miser grasp. When mother comes
how we love to prepare the place for her,
giving her the easiest chair, how we love
to make the way pleasant before her aged
feet. The little children lay the first vio
lets of spring in the withered hands, their
compensation being a loving smile. Some
hearts never grow old and like wax they
are easily impressed. A look of apprecia
tion or a loving word is worth more than
rubles.
As this is leap year it may be timely to
ive a few hints to the young men. We
have known young men to meet a pretty
face in a ball-room, fall in love with it,
marry it, go to housekeeping with it
and boast of having a home and a wife to
grace it. I he chances are he has neither
He has been "taken in." Her pretty face
gets to be an old story, or becomes faded
and as the face was all he paid attention
to, all he swore to honor, love and protect,
he is sick of his bargain. Another young
man becomes enamored of a fortune. He
waits upon it to parties and balls, weds it
and calls it wife, carries it home, Introduces
it to his friends and says he is married and
has a home. He is not married. He has
no home and soon finds it out. If a young
man would escape these consequences let
him shun the rocks upon which so many
have made shipwreck. Let him learn to
look into the mind and heart of the woman
he thinks of marrying.
We have iust been thinkine about pres
ent day "hobbies" and they create within
us a longing for the return of the good old
days of our forefathers; days when callous
ed hands warmly clasped each other and
kid gloves were unknown; days when at
eventide the family gathered at the old
place and enioved the pleasures of home
How different now. Take the average
family to'dayand the servant girl is usual
ly the only one at home after the evening
meal, the father has gone to lodge, tne
mother to her club, Jane to the music circle,
Kate to the card party. Robert has eone
down town for a game of billiards, Peter to
the readme room. If we drop into a strict
ly religious home, where each Jmember of
the family has been taught to tear Uoa and
keep His jommanaments, a knock at me
door brines only the servant, who tells us
the family is all absent. The father has
gone to myer meeting, tne motner to arm
some young ladias for a church concert,
Thomas to a meeting of tin Eptforth
League, Harry to the Junior Endeavor.
Mary to the Young People's meeting and
Sarah to the choir practice. These are
most worthy, places for members of the
family to be, but even the most worthy
societies that take the family from home
two-thirds of the evenings of the week do
not build up that solid Christian character
that is tormed around the old breplace at
home. Unless in these matters, we return
to the good old days of our fathers and
parents and children are educated to enjoy
home and made to realize that there is no
place like "Home, Sweet Home," we can
expect many to fall by the wayside and
our daughters and boys be ruined at the
very threshold of life.
WORD PAINTING OF A HOME.
We recently visited a home and we will
give you a brief description of what we
saw and heard and see If you can guess
whose home It was. We called about the
time for the evening meal as we desired to
see the head of the family whom we knew
would be there promptly for supper.
Upon entering and being seated in a cozy
room we awaited the coming of the hus
band and father. The good wife kept busy
at her work and as kitchen door was ajar
we beheld a picture that sealed itself in
memory's casket. It was evident that the
day had been tull of active work for the
mother. The. children, too. had been busy
before and after school, helping with the
housework, taking care of baby and run
ning about with cheery faces and laughter
that brought happy smiles Into the moth
er'seyes. TheoJor'of good things cook
ing prevaded the kitchen pleasantly. The
night was closing Id and baby was sleepy
ind he crowed and whimpered as mother
undressed him before the fire, stretching
his tiny toes to the warm blaze, Baby
was soqn sleeping In his little crib.' Then
the merry talk commenced and grtw
brighter as the children clustered about
mother's chair. The girls had set the
table; the chores were all done. The oloS
est daughter had a story book ready and
mother -smiled happily at the eager facs
as She began to read to the children . Thls:
w$s the happiest half hour of the day.
Then a heavy step sounds outside; a hand
was on the knob and ruotehr closed the
book with an unfinished sentence on her
lip. ,
A shadow fell upon the bright faces as
a tall, stem-featured man entered the kitch
en. He moved heavily and seemed to
have the effect of subduing the light of
the lamp and even the blazing tire as well
as the children's faces. The mother's
mouth kept Its sweet smile as she greeted
him, but the general overshadowing fell
across her eyes and brow as she placed the
supper on the table and bowed her head for
the long grace. Any attempt at laughter
or pleasant conversation tlw rang through
the house all day, was ched ed by mother's
soft, "Hush, Father does not like a noise."
Do you think this father who has ban
ished joy from his household, was a drunk
ard, a rascal or hard-hearted wretch? He
was what the world calls a good man.
Honest, a member of the church, industri
ous and a good citizen, and yet his wife
who loved and respected him could never
be her natural, cheery self in his presence
and his children hated to see him enter
the household.
