Tl.eir tvhu'e Ike is wii Irin ! tiielr home. '().<•> i.e: 1 coulter’s | about them, they bear dainties tn each others lips, they live and move and have their whole being in each other’s love. and. shutting out all the world, live only for themselves. I say I know too many such pairs as these. They are far too plenty. They cannot bear to be torn from their homes for an afternoon. They take no interest in others. They never call friends and neighbors around their board, and they consider it a hardship to fulfill the common offices of social politeness—to say nothing of hospitality. It is not unjust to say that this is one of the most dangerous and most repulsive forms of married life. It is selfishness doubled, associated, instituted, and it deserves serious treatment. Homes, like individuals, have their relations to e ii other, and. as no man liveth to himself alone, no home should live to itself alone. It < through the medium of homes that the social lifeblood of America is kept in circulation through tins medium almost exclusively. Every home should be as a city set i upon a hill that cannot be hid. Into it l should flock friends and friendships, bringing the life of the world, the stimulus and the modifying power of contact with various natures, the fresh flowers of feeling gathered from wide fields. Out of it should How benign charities, pleasant amenities and all those influences which are the natural offspring of a high and harmonious home life. Intercommunication of minds and homes is the condition of individual and social development, and failing of this no married pair can be what they should be to each other. Exclusive devotion to business by day and exclusive devotion to selfish home enjoyments at night will dry up, harden and depreciate the richest uatjires in the course of a few years, and as soon ns the man withdraws from the business, of tile world the world has seen the last of him and his family for life. -They have no outside associations. It is as if they did not live at all. When they die. nobody misses them, for they have been nothing to society. As many doors are open as before, and social life feels no ripple upon its surface when the sand is thrown upon their coffins. There should glow in every house throughout the land the light of a pleasant welcome for friends. On every hearth should leap the flame that irradiates the forms and faces of associates. Neighborhood should ’something more than it collection of dark and selfishly dosed hearts and bouses. A community should be something better than an aggregation of individuals and homes governed by the same laws and sustaining equal civil buadens. Neighborhood should be the ' name of a vital relationship. A community should be a community in fact informed witli a genial, social life, in which the influence of each nature, the power of each Intellect, the wealth of every individual acquisition, the force of every well directed will and the inspiration of every high anil pure character should be felt by all. A neighborhood of homes like this would be a neighborhood indeed, and none other deserves the name.—“ Timothy Titcomb s Letters” in Boston Globe. ■ The Economy of the Bcc.

A GOOD WIDE YAWN. It In a Splendid Reviver For tlie Whole Body. A good. wide, open mouthed yawn Is a splendid thing tor the whole body. A yawn is nature's demand for rest Some people think they only yawn because they are slet'py. but this is not so. Yon yawn because yon are tired. Yon may be sleepy also, but that is not the real cause of your yawning. You are sleepy because you are tired, and you yawn because you are tired. Whenever you feel like yawning just yawn 1 »on‘t try to suppre a it because you think it is impolite to yawn. Put your hand over your mouth if you want to, but let the yawn come. And if you are where you can stretch at the same time that you yawn just stretch and yawn. This is natures way of stretching and relaxing the muscles. Don’t be afraid to open your mouth wide ami yawn and stretch whenever you feel litte it. Indeed, if you are very tired, but do not feel like yawning. there is nothing that will rest you so quickly as to sit on a straight back chair, and. lifting y-uir feet from the floor, push them out in front of you as far as 'p.i-dble, stretch the arms, put the head back, open the mouth wide anil tn ike yourself yawn.
