Temperance And The Home

(Conductedby the n. C. T. U.) The iirst safeguard of which I want to speak is a love of home. iTliere are thoee who have no idea of rthe pe isures that concent ate around ttat word "home." l'erhaps your e.irly abode was shadowed with vice or poverty. Harsh word and petulance may have destroyed all the anctity of that spot. Love and telf-sacrifice, which have built their altars in so many abodes, weie trangers in your father's home. God pity yon, young man ; you never had a 'home. But a multitude can look back to a epot that they can liever iorget. It may have been a lowly roof, but you cannot think oí it now without a dash of emotion. Another sa:eguard ior young men is industrious habits. Oh ! young man, you must have industry of head, of hand, of foot, or perish. Do uot have the idea that you can get ulong in this world by genius. The curse of this country to-day is geniuses- men with large BeL-conceit and nothlag e'se. Tlie man who proposeü to make his living by his wits, probably has not any. I would rather te an ox, plain and plodding and useiul, than to be an eagle, high-flying and good for nothing. Even in the Garden of Eden it was not safe ior Adam to be idie, so God made him a horticulturalist ; and if the married pair had kept busy dressing the vines, they would not have been sauntering under the trees, hankering after fruit tliat ruined them and their posterity. Anotlier saleguard is a respect for the Sobbath. Teil me how a young man spends his Sabbath, and I wiU teil you what 'are his prospects ior this and for the etemal world.
