The Home Circle
By Mrs. Mary Mitchcll.
Worrying over the shortcomings
of our neighbors is a bad thing, for
we all have a job at home that needs
our attention.
Touch not, taste not, handle not,
anything in the home that is iutoxi-
k-.catiug; for rum feasts the thought of
robbery and makes it appear feasi-
ble; nourishes the conception of mur-
der and gives courage aud strength
to the shrinking murderer; it impels
every year, inyrids of men aud wo
vmeu across the bounderies of virtue
into the territories of brutal vice and
hopeless guilt.
