In looking over the expenditures of the Brit
ish Government, for 1885, we find that about
$40, 900, 900 were paid to lI4,752 NoN-Er-
FlcrlvE men in the Army, Navy and Ordinance
Department, embracing, probably, half pay OIL
GERS and other pensioners. The expenditures,
during the same year, for the Civil Government,
Including all allowances to the several branches
Of the Royal Family, and to the King of the
Belgians; for the establishment Of the Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland salaries and expenses OF
both Houses of Parliament, includig printing,
for the whole Judiciary Department, sincluding
the expenses of the Police and Criminal Prose-
%cutions, and all the salaries and approximation
allowances to foreign ministers and %consuls, and
for all other pensions and a%nnuities on the civil
rfist, did not amount to $I3, OO0, 000M scven mill
ions of dollars a year less than the sum paid
to these non-edcctive, dO-nothing men connected
with the British Army and Navy. There are
1868 Judges in the United Kingdom. whose sal
aries amount to 81, 7S5, O22 per annum. Nor
are they aon-efectiuc men in their department,
but men that honor the British name and give
dignity to human laws throughout Christendom.

lador, they do not receive in eeUcn gears what
is paid in one to the dO-nOthjngs of the British
Army and Navy!
But let us come back to this model republic
and see if like abuses exist in its economy. In
looking into the Register of the u. S. Navy, we
md that to be a fact with regard to the actual
service and pay of our naval officers in the ear
lest periods Of our national existence. From
1915 TO 1928, a period of about 8 years, there
were % Captains, whose average time of SER
vice, during this period, was less than two vears;
thirty Commandants, a little over two Years. one
hundred and seventy-two Lieutenants, less than
three and a half; and eight Chaplains, less than
one and a half year. In the Naval Register fol
1845, it will be seen that, of l 1871 naval officer.
under pay Of the government, 800 were waitina
OrderSH Their salaries, at the fixed allowance
for officers thus waiting orders, amounted tt
$444,l70l! Add to this the salaries of s Ma
rine officers and Engineers, waiting orders tn,
same year, we have the sum of $44S,336 pait
to the noH-efsctiUe officers Of our navy. Nov
thesum paid in 1916 to 27S members of Con

"Can you send these to some place where
they will do good?" said little girl in the Sab
bath school to her teacher, presenting at the saH5e
time two Testaneuts. 81 think | can, " replica
the teacher; "but where did you get them7"
81 bought them, said the little girl "with MT
money" On inquiry, the teacher learned that
her father had told her, if she would not use
sugar in her tea or coffee, he would give her
three cents a week, and it should be her W
money to do what she pleased with. She denied
herself the use of sugar, and laid up her cents
until she had enough to purchase the two Tes-
taments.

500, less than the amount received by these ma
val officers while waiting orders. 1t would be
easy to prove that the non-effective men in this
department alone receive annually more pay than
is allowed to all the members of the Senate and
House of Representatives, and to all the Judges
of the Supreme and District Courts of the Uni
ted States.
Is not this fact worthy the consideration Of
our national Legislature2 b. b.

Love 10 a Mother.

A little Irish boy, the son of a poor widow.
once repeated to his teacher four pages in the
spelling book, and four chapters in the Tesla
ment. A kind gentleman who was present.
was so much pleased, that he called him to him.
and gave him his choice of a pair of blankets
for his mother, or a suit of clothes for himself
Although he was dressed in tattered garments.
and much needed a new suit, he did not hesi'
tate to choose the blankets. The gentleman
then gave him the clothes too, as a reward fer
his kindness to his poor mother YOath''

The Mothers Tablet.

The mother writes with a pen of steel on the
tablet of the young heart of her child, and these
characters are deep, original and indelible. They
are hardened by time, and exert an influence
with the power of first lessons. Through the
long vista of r%eceding years, that mother is seen
by the eye Of ilial affection. Onward through
coming time, the same image is presented like a
bright star at the beginning and end of life, con-
nected with the first recollections and last hope,
then bending over the cradle-pillow, now looking
down from heaven. Oh, a mothers love 1t
conquers all. 1t is identified in the mind with
its first knowledge of God. She is contemplate
ed as with God. Next to the divine efficacy, her
influence is al-pervading aud most powerful
Such is the pIous mother, who has made right
impressions on the minds Of her babies, and
been to them the messenger and minister ofGod.
For veal or for woe, she writes a page, teaches
a lesson, and moulds the mind into durable forms.
Such, says a clergyman, was the mother of my
children. Her influence is still visible, palpable,
controlling. Her image is wildly present. Her
lessons are written in living lines, and the SEN
timeats Of my mother" are the law of her chill
dren. They regard her as now in heaven, What
an inspiring motive to seek an inheritance there!
They read her Bible, and have received it from
her as the infalible rule of life. The highest
earthly influence they can feel, thus comes in
aid of the divine. They remember her prayers.
How hallowed the recollection of such mother!
How controlling the rules she gave! how well
remembered and deeply treasured in their hearts!

memory. The retrospections the mind are as

THE FERE-SHDE.
DON'T GET CRUSTY.

Good nature is gem which always shines
brightly in whatever ground it is set 1t cheers
the darkness of misfortune, and warns the heart
that is callous and cold. In social life, who has
not seen and felt its influences! If you want to
be happy yourself and make every one else hap
Ply, be good-natured. Don't let little matters
rufle you. Nobody gains anything by being
cross and grabbed. A friend has injured you;
the world goes hard; you want employment, but
can't get it; or you cant get your honest dues;
or fire has consumed, or the waters have sWal-
lowed up the fruit of many years of hard toll; or
your faults magnifed; or enemies have traduced,
or friends deceived Never mind; don't get mad
with any body; don't abuse the world Or any Of
its creatures; keep good natured, and our word
for it, all will come right. The soft south wind
and the genial sun are not more efectual in
clothing the earth with verdure and sweet flow
ers of spring, than is good nature in adjoining
the hearts of men and women with blossoms Of
kindness, happiness and affection, and those
flowers, the fragrance ofwhich ascend to heaven
By the way, and aside, we would whisper word
in the ear of the sovereign people who are inter
ested in political matters, as well as those who
belong to the church, the Importance and beau
ty of good nature. The church ever has its trl
ais to contend with, butthe professor should bea
patiently with the scoffer and the sceptic, anC
the many stumbling blocks thrown into his path
the greater his amiabity and good nature, TIN
more certain and abiding his victory. In cleo
ton contests, we would suggest to wings anC
democrats, nothing will be gained by either par
y by manifestations Of ill-will or quarrelling witt
each other. Most men are honest, some are nj
, better than they ought to be, and some are
I good deal worse Well, we must take them a
we find them, better or worse, but don't shoN
any ugly temper-keep cool-keep good natuI
ed Fight this, and all other battles Of the SORT
: manfully and pleasantly. Smiles are more pow
erful than frowns; friendly, good natured cor
versation-a kind, honest expression of opinio
will do more towards achieving conquest, @
retaining those that have gone astray, than a.
the harsh epthets or irritating expressions thu
were ever resorted to- To be good natured
: is not necessary to submit to imposition or insul
but it will generally be found that man VIII
will resort to such means is coward and ne
= worth noticing in any way, unless it be to laug
= at his inconsistencies The good natured ma
. is generally brave, generous, loves his felo
i man, loves his country and protects and provide
! for his own household.

The FiODcrS of Spring.-Seo the beautiful
flowers that deck the brow of the virgin Spring.
How fair Nature paints her charms, adorns her
varied scenes, and lends enchantment to every
prospect. Here is the garden, rich in fragrance
and Wonder the woods and meadows smile inyi-
tipgly with the flowers of Spring Look at their
mutitudinous forms, sizes and colors; count
their numerous appendages; taste their fragrance
and let the eye delight itself in viewing the skill
full workmanship ofthe great Creator, and ther
tell me if there is aught so fair. The grandeur
of the revolving spheres strikes US with silent ad
mration; the mighty ocean fills US with terror anc
awe; the tall pine waves in sublimity over tn,
everlasting mountains but these more humble
glories of the Creator, at once lovely and beau
tiful can charm, elevate and fill
IT'S flowers that can render home pleasan
and inviting, give enchantment to domestic life
and often awaken in the bosom inexpressible e
motions. They too, above all, kindle in tn
heart of the devoted, deep aspirations to the foun
tain source of all benehcence and delight
would rather Gull the wild wood flowers of Spring
nhale the fragrance Of the flower garden, gathe
the daisy and cowslip, count the beauties of tn
tulip. and the glories of the lily, and as the bee
that draws sweetness from every flower, read tn
wisdom Of God, and learn some instructive lesso
from each floral emblem, than to revel in tn
gaudy splendor the saloon, and have the ar
plause of thousands. IT'S the God of creatio
that gives the tulip its beauty, that fills the ros
with sweetest fragrance, and clothes the lily i
all its glory

bread has large per centage ofoil in it, and for
this reason it is rather too freely used at the west
and SOUTH Rice is much used at the south for
bread, and should be placed before corn Of
vegetables, beans and peas stand far higher than
any other within our experience; mealy potatoes
come next on the muscular list; but as to most of
the other kinds of vegetables, they are too watery
and should be eaten sparingly during the hard
working season. Cheese is good, especially that
made from skim-milk, as it abounds more in
caseine than the other kinds. Butter should be
avoided as too fat, Milk is not solid enough for
hard work.
The best drink we ever found to quench thirst,
was water slightly sweetened with sugar, and
then made a little tart with cider-vinegar 1t is
also one Of the most wholesome of drinks
Weak tea or coffee, with milk and sugar in it,
is usually heathful drunk with breakfast and sup

Half an hour to an hours rest should always
