PLEASANT EVENINGS.

By Editor

Make the evenings pleasant, mothers, if you wish to keep your husbands and children at home. An interesting book read aloud, or, in musical families, a new song to be practiced, will furnish pastime that will make an evening pass pleasantly. A little forethought during the day, a little pulling of wires that need not appear, will make the whole thing easy; and different ways and means may be provided for making the evening hours pass pleasantly, and a time to look forward to with pleasant anticipations. We visited once in a large family where it was the duty of each sister in turn to provide the evening’s occupation, and there was a pleasant rivalry as to whose evenings should be the most enjoyable. As a natural consequence the brothers were rarely absent from home.
