A KISS FOR A BLOW.

=, VlSIter once went to a Sa bbath School in
Boston, where he saw boy and girl on one
seat, VINO were brother and sister. In mo-
ment OF thougtIess passion the little bow struck
MS sister. The little girl was provoked. and
raised her hand to return the blow. Her face
showed that rage was working within, and her
cIenchod fist was aimed at her brother. when
her teacher caught her eye. Stop, my dear"
SAID she, ''you had much better kiss YOUR broth.
er than strike him.''
Inc look and the word reached her heart
Her hand dropped. She threw her arms around
ms neck and kissed him. The bow was moved.
lie could have stood against blow: but he
could not withstand sisters kiss. He COM
pared the proVocation he had given her with
the return she had made, and the tears rolled
down his cheeks This affected the sister, and
WIthher little handkerchief she wiped away his
tears But the sight of her kindness only
made him cry the faster; he was completely
subdued.
Her teacher then told the children always to
return a kiss for blow, and they would never
get any more blows. If men and women, fam
lies and communities, and nations, would act
IN this principle, this world would almost cease
o be vale Of tears; "nation would not lift
Up the sword against nation, neither would
hey learn war any more.

INAUGURAL ADDRESS

OF THOMAS JEFFERSON, PRESIDENT OF THE UNI
TED STATES, MARCH 4, 1901.
Friends and FELLOW Citizens:
Called upon to undertake the duties of the
first Executive Office of our country, avail
myself of the presence of that portion of my
fellow citizens which is here assembled, TO ex-
press my grateful thanks for the favor with
which they have been pleased to look towards
me, to declare a sincere consciousness tina: the
task Is above my talents, and that approach it
with those anxious and awful presentiments
which the greatness of the charge, and the
weakness of my powers SO justly inspire, A
rising nation, spread over wide and fruitful
land, traversing all the seas with the rich pro
auctions oftheir industry, engaged in commerce
with nations who feel power and forget right,
advancing rapidly to destinies beyond the reach
of mortal eye; when ] contemplate these trans.
cendent objects, and see the honour, the happi-
ness, and the hopes Of this beloved country
committed 10 the issue and the auspices of this
day, shrink from the contemplation. and hmm.
bic myself before the magnitude Of the under
taking. Utterly indeed should | despair, did
not the presence Of many, whom | here see,
remind me, that in the other high authorities
provided by our constitution, Shall find re-
sources Of wisdom, Of virtue, and Of zeal ON
Which to rely under all difficulties. To Won.
then, gentlemen, who are charged with the
sovereign functions of legislation, and 10 those
associated with you, look with encourage.
ment for that guidance and support which NAV
enable US to steer with safety the vessel in
which we are all embarked, amidst the cgn0Ic.
ing elements of a troubled world
During the contest of opinion through which
we have past, the animation of discussions and
OF exertions has sometimes worn an aspect
which might impose on strangers unused to
think freely, and to speak and to write what
they think; but this being now decided by the
voice of the nation, announced according to
the rules Of the constitution, all will of course
arrange themselves under the will Of the law.
and unite in common efforts for the commonI
good. All too will bear in mind This sacred
principle, that though the will Of the majority
IS in all cases to prevail, that will, to be right
tu, must be reasonable; that the minority pos
sess their equal rights, which equal laws must
protect, and TO violate would be OPPRESSION
Let us4hen, fellow citizens, unite with one
heart and one mind, let us restore TO social in
Iercourse that harmony and affection without!

EXTRACTS FROM THE JOURNAL OF j
BALLOONIST.

Passing cloud, put out my hand and took
a piece Of it, and squeezed it like sponge, ana
the water run out. The sun went north about
but never set. AT the distance of about filtv
leagues above the earth, we saw white swan
sitting on the corner of the cloud. we had
! had gun we could have shot it. Passing BY
the moon we saw fellow selling land at auc-
ton. lie wished US to give bid but we told
hm zoe had not come to buy lands in the moon.
We come across comet, but it was asleep. 1t
looked like terrapn, but had tail like a
fox.
We came near hail-bank, and filled hat to
bring down with us. The hail stones we're
about as large as pigeons egg.
thousand miles above the earth, we passed
through field ofturkey buzzards This would
seem to be their region, and accounts for the
circumstance, that no one has ever found a nest
OF one of these. These rookeries are out of
sight IN the atmosphere.
As we approached one of the heavenly bod
les It appeared like an island. We struck up.
on planet but Blanchard got out and pushed
oil the'balloon. We supposed it to be Mercu-
ry, as we heard orators harranguing, and a
multitude of tongues
mere were marriages going on in Venus,
and IN Mars we heard the drums beat
Ia Jupiter we heard swearing-O Jupiter
by Jupiter, etc.
We meant to have pull at ore of Saturn's
rings, but were blown Of the coast, and found
ourselves In the latitude ofIIerschell. Proyis-
Ion' we thought proper to shape our course to-
wards the earth again.
The first thing we saw was the forest of Ar
tennes, which appeared like a Shamrock
The Pyrennian mountains seemed like bed of
parsley; and the Atlantic Ocean about as large
as Loeb SwIey.
Within furIong Of the earth Blanchard gave
ne the parachute and came down.
