5eH. Garfield' TOetlier.
Every mother should read a re
cently published volume entitled
"From the Log Cabin to the White
House," by William M. Thayer,
which js dedicated to the boys of the
United States. It is a familiar Bay
ing that 'the mother molds the man,'
and this book proves it Those who
read if and it should be read by
every boy as well as his mother
will not be at all surprised that the
son of such a mother should, by in
heritence and example, possess the
noble character, the indomitable en
ergy and courage, and the purity of
life that has characterized General
Garfield from his youth up to this
time. Mrs. Garfield's maiden name
was Eliza Ballou. She was a de
cendaut of Maturin Ballou, a IIu
geuot of France, driven from his
country upon the revocation of the
edict of Nates.
lie joined tho colony of Roger
WilliatnB, came to America, and set
tled in Cumberland, R. I. There he
built a church which is still care
fully preserved as a relic of the past.
It is known as the Elder Ballou
meeting-house. When it was built
there were no saw-mills, no nail9,
and few tools in the country. Its
galleries and pews, even its floor,are
hewn out of solid logs, and put to
gether with wooden pegs.s Jlere,
Maturin Ballou preached the gospel,
and his son, and grandson, and gr.cat
grandsons after him to the tenth
generation. A race of preachers
sprang from this pioneer minister
as well as many lawyers, doctor.",
and other public men, eminent for
their talents and force of character.
Some of them figured in the Amer
ican revolution, as heroic in war as
they were renpwncd in peace.
Abram Garfield and Eliza Ballou,
both emigrants from the state of New
York, were married in 1821. They
had gone, in 1830, to Orange, Cuy
ahoga county, Ohio, where a year
later their Bon James waB orn, be
ing their. fourth child. Their log
house was built when tho heavy for
est was but partly cleared away.
The fences were not yet made about
the fields when the father, in fight
ing a forest fire that threatened the
destruction of their home, overheat
ed himself, was suddenly chilled,aud
in a few days died. His last words
to his wife, as he looked upon his
children, were: "I have planted four
saplings here iu this forest. I mast
now leave them to your care."
A happier family never dwelt in
a palace than had been in that cabin
home. Little James was but .18
mopths old when his ather died
too young to understand his irrepar
able loss or feel the pangs of grief
that well nigh crushed other hearts.
The neighbors came only four or
five families iu a radius of ten miles
and wept with the widow and
fatherless. With their assistance the
lifeless form was inclosed in a rough
coffin and buried in the corner of the
wheat .field near by. No sermon,no
prayer except the silent prayers that
went up from aching hearts. Win
ter was approaching. Could human
expeiicr.e be more dreary than a
woman left a widow with her chil
dren in a wilderness swept by win
try storms? The howl of the. wolves
and the cry of panthers never souud
ed so terrible as during 'those long
desolato winter nights. It seemed
to the weary ones that spring would
never come again. But at last it did
come, and swept away the snow and
ice. The dead things of the field and
forest returned to life, save only the
dead in the corner of the wheat field,
aud hope was not revived in the
cabin. There was no money in the
house, there was a debt on the farm,
and the food supply was limited.
Then Mra. Garfield Bought the ad
vice of a neighbor, who had been
kind.in her timeof trouble. He ad
vised hereto l8ell the.Jfrray the
debt, had retnrn to hec'rieods, Je
lieviBgirapadire Jfor hjto Aup

reply was characteristic :

him. With the resolute courage of
his race, he gladly promised that he
would plow and bow? cut wood, nnd
milk the cows, if she would only
keep the farm. So this brave moth
er and her son commenced their
work. She sold part of the farm,
and paid every dollar of the debt.
Thomas procured a horse, plowed,
aud sowed and planted. The moth
er, with her own hands, split the
rails and completed tho fencing.
But the harvest was still far away,
and the corn was running low. The
mother carefully measured her pre
cious grain, counted tho days to the
reaping time, and finding that it
would be exhaused long before that
time at their present rate of con
sumption, she resolved to live on
two meals a day herself that her
children might not suffer. Then, as
the little store rapidly disappeared,
she ate but a single meal herself,
concealing her self-denial from her
children, until the blessed harvest
brought relief. That year it was
very abundant, and the wolf of
hunger never came so near their
door again.
Still, there many years of hardship
and self-denial, in which the brave
woman had to be father aud mother,
teacher and preacher to her chil
dren. Sho was the wise and tender
friend, guiding them iu the right
way, and inspiring them to choose
tho best things in life. Sho still
lives to see her great reward, "and
her children rise up and call her
blessed."
The nation's capital, honored as it
has been by uoble women, has never
received within its doors a grander,
more heroic, and nobler woman than
it will have in the person of the
mother of President Garfield, and
she is not only an object of tho
nation's admiration, but the recip
ient of its-homage.
JLoviBg; Home.
Nothing to us appears so beauti
ful in human experience as the re
ciprocal affection of parents and
children, especially after the latter
have attained maturity, and, it may
be, formed new relations in life. We
have seen the loving and lovely
daughter, after Bhe had become a
wife and mother, seizo every oppor
tunity of visiting tho paternal home
to lavish her affectionate attention
upon her parents, and, by a thou
sand graceful and tender kindnesses,
assure them that though she was an
idolized wife and a happy mother,
her heart still clave with ever
strengthening fervor to father and
mother who watched over her in
fancy and guided her youth. It has
been our privilego to know such,
and as we have witnessed the out
pourings of lovo and happiness be
tween these devoted aud glowing
hearts,. we have, felt that Burely much
of heaven might be enjoyed here if
all families were equally attached.
And would r that every,, daughter
knew what pure joy alio might creato
iu the parental bosom by a constant
keeping alive of the spirit of filial
devotion, and seizing frequetit op
portunities to make it manifest in
little acts of gentleness and love,
notwithstanding tho child may have
become a parent. It is always the
same dear child, and never so dear
as when it keeps up the childish con
fidence and love of its earliest youth.
Breaking: off Had Habits.
To break off bad habits, under
stand tho reason and all the reasons
why the habit is injurious. Study
the subject until there is no linger
ing doubt in your mind. Avoid the
places, the persons and the thoughts
that lead to, the temptation. Fre
quent the place, associate with the
persons, indulge in thoughts that
lead away from the temptation.
Keep busy ; idleness is the strength
of bad habits. Do not give up the
struggle when you have broken
your resolution once, twice, a thous
and times. That only shows how
much need there i for you to strive.
When you have broken your resolu
tion, just think the matter over, and
endeavor to understand why it is
you failed, so that you may be on
your guard against a recurrence of
the same circumstances. Do not
think that it is an easy thing that
you have undertaken. It is folly to
expect to break off a bad habit in a
day which may have been gathering
for long years.
Slightly sarcastic was the clergy
man who paused and addressed a
man coming into church after a
sermon had began, with the remark :
"Glad to see you, Blr ; come in; al
ways glad to Bee those here late who
can't come early." And decidedly
self-possessed was the man thus ad
dressed in the presenco of an aston
ished congregation, as he responded :
"Thank you; would you favor me
with the text?"
A Chicago young lady Bays that
when young ladies in fashionable
society get tired of their set they do
not want to marry young men of
that circle, but really look out for
poor young men who do not care
for dancing parties, and who want
to stay at home for the rest of their
lives.
Tardy recognition insults the
genius which it starves and then
crowns.

Happily Harried,
Widow White's daughters had
just taken their first lessons in in
strumental music, nud the young
professor who had lately located, in
in Snobdom, stopped o the porch as
be withdrew from the parlor, and
said to their mother as Bhe sat darn
ing stockiugs :
'I am happy to inform you, Mad
am, that your daughters evince a de
cided musical talent and I consider
myself very fortunate iu securing
such apt pupils.
'Indeed I' exclaimed the widow,
jerking the large darning needie
with double yarn spitefully through
the heel of an old sock; 'indeed!
well, I am most happy to hear you
say so. I wish to give my daugh
ters every advantage possible. I
want to fit them for some other po
sition besides farmer's wives. I
would rather see one of my daugh
ters laid iu her grave than to see her
marry a farmer. No, neither of my
girls must ever marry a farmer.'
'Why, Mrs. White! I should think
that with your pleasaut surrouudings
you would be so much in love with
farm life that you would never con
sent to your daughters marryiug
anybody but farmers,' said the pro
fessor, glancing at the neatly kept
yard, aud out over at the shrubbery
into the corn field beyond, where
two men were plowing.
'Oh, yes, our surroundings are
pleasant enough near town as we
are but, I tell you, Professor, there
never is any rest for a farmer's wife,
It's work, work, drudge, drudge,
day out and day in; and wheuevcr
there's one minute to sit dowu there's
always patching or darning to be
done;' and the widow looked at the
stocking basket significantly, while
the Professor smiled gravely as he
saw the ragged heels of several
pairs that must have lined coarse
boots iu many a days journey be-,
hiud a plow. The smile, however,
was soon superseded by an expres
sion of sadness as he said :
'But what can be drudgery in a
home like this. There is something
to drudge for here is independence.
Moat of tho laboring people in towns
drudge to keep the breath of life in
themselves. They havo no nice
homes of their own a" the reward
of the drudgery. A poor music
teacher, for instance, must go a beg
ging to get up a class, and depend,
not unfrequently, upon exacting and
fault finding patrons for the incaus
by which he barely subsists. I say
to you Mrs. White, that could I to
day follow a plow behind a team of
ray own, my lot in life would seem
a heaven compared with what it is at
present. And I say this, not be
cause I do not love and honor the
profession of music, but because I
hate dopondenco. 1 should like to
work and be my own driver, but I
despise begging, even if it's for
something to do.'
When Mrs. White's husband died
ho left her the nice homestead which
she occupied. This was under a
fine state of cultivation, free from
all incumbrance, and wholly at her
disposal. To each of his daughters
he left oue hundred and sixty acres
of prairie, unimproved, except be
ing fenced and used as pasturage.
About two years after the preced
ing conversation between the Pro
fessor and Mrs. White, Isabella
White'was offered five thousand six
hundred dollars for her prairie farm,
nnd her mother hastened her accep
tance of this offer by saying :
Take it, Bell; if you don't sell
before you are married, the Profes
sor will waut to go to farming, and
you'll always be a drudge just as
I've been.'
Then Bell assented, the papers of
conveyance were signed, aud widow
White congratulated herself that she
had saved her daughter from the
hardships of farm life.'
Very soou after the transfer of
this property the house ot Widow
White was filled with wedding
gnests, and a few weeks later when
the committees for the Christmas
Tree were appending the holiday
gifts in their respective places, Jok
ing Jerry, the church humorist, un
did a heavy, carefully wrapped
package, and calling the attention of
bis associate workers, read in a very
ostentatious manner, 'Presented to
Mrs. Professor BItts, by her mother.
Price $534.
'Why didn't she add, 'Please put
this in a conspicuous place,' contin
ued Jerry, as he set out carefully
the separate pieces of the shining
silver set.
