you see said Innocent w., when
counting his money before Thomas
Aquinas, you see that the church is
no longer III an age when she can say,
silver and gold have I name The
evangelical doctor replied, 'True, holy
father; nor can she now say to the
lame man, rise up and walk The
wealth of Innocent however was sur
passed by Clement v, the first of the
Avigon popes. The historians relate,
on the credit of Sism ondi, that he died
immensely rich, through the sale of
benetices and such other traffic; and
the moment that he was known to
have expired, all the inmates of his
palace are stated to have rushed with
one consent into his treasury: not a
single servant remained to watch the
body of his master, insomuch that the
lights which were blazing round fell
down and set fire to his bed. The
flames were extinguished; but not till
they had consumed half the body of
the richest pope who had yet govern
ed the church. (Waddington, p.
3S4. He was surpassed however by
his successor, John XIII, who died
in possession of 100000 Of gold
forms. Ifhe has not been slandered,
he raised this immense sam by taxing
kingdoms, cities, castles, bishoprics-
the officers of the church and state, and
the sins of priests and laymen. God
says he, has con6ded the Empire of

PHILOSOPHY OF TOYS.

Give child a small box, and it will
probably examine it all round, and in a
very short time toss it away. The
sight gratifed little, a change of i'm
age was desired, and this was the most
obvious method of procuring change.
By this act the child brings up the con-
sclousness of exertion; and the sight
of moving thing reproduces former
images of motion and activity. Show
it that the box opens, and it resumes
the study-shuts it itself, opens it a.
gain; thus revertlng from image to I'M
age, and delightirg in the TRANSFORMED
ton, as the work Of its own hands. 1t
will not be long ere it resorts to the
extreme step of throwing it a.
way, and seeking it back to throw it
away again. From this and all other
observations on childhood, we can see
that a toy, which has nothing movea-
bic or changeable about it, is a very
imperfect thing; it has little source of
thought in 1t. With finely finished
toy-an efigy of a man, a dog, or
bird-a child will not lose much time
ere it treats it as it would stick, a
spoon, or an old canister; namely, beat
the table with it to produce melody,
and the ideas of life and motion, and
seIf-exertion--toss it away, or apply it
to its mouth to restore part of the plea
sure of sucking the breast. 1t is very
common error to confound toys with
ornaments in amusing children. We
hear nurse, on holding up pretty
bauble to an infant, saying, See, such
pretty as if the chiId's capacity of
enjoyment as yet contained nothing but
love OF dazzle. 1t is common, too,
to present to the eye what is not given
into the hand-a very thankless induI-
gence. The sense of beauty and of
NICE imitation are of late growth
What childhood needs is copiousness
OF images, resembling and fit for resto-
ring those broad palpable ideas which
it has been able to gain-to keep the
faculty of identification and recovering
OF the past working all the day long.
1t is thus preparing5itself for the high
est operations of intellect in mature
life. By indulgingit in noises and ra-
pid motions of all kinds, we are, be-
sides breeding happiness, cultiva,ing
ideas ofsactivitv, hustle and life, which
aresthe foundation Of the habits of the
smart AMI active workman or man Of
business, the animated vehement orator,
or the stake-all enthusiast. Westmin-
ster Review.

TIMING 1T.

A minister in the highlands of Scot
land, found one Of his parishioners IN
toxieated. The next day he called to
reprove him for it.
"lt's very wrong to get drunk, ''ssIa

81 ken that" said the guilty person,
shut then | dinna drink meikle as You
dot''
"What, sir! how is that" asked the
other in surprise.
"Why, gin please ye," eontinast.
the other, "dinna we aye take glass
o'wiskey and water after dinnere'
"Why, yes, Jenny, to be sure, I
take little whiskey after dinner, mere
ly to aid digestion!''
can dinna ye tax glass o'whiskey
toddy every night, before going to
bed!"
eyes, TO be sure, just take little
toddy at night to help me to sleepp'
"WeeI," continued the parishioner,
CHATS Just fourteen glasses week, an
about sixty per month. | only get
paid off once month, and then if I'd
take sixty glasses, it would make me
dead drunk for week; now you see
the only difference is, ye time 1t better
than | dol"
This is pretty much the view most
people take off this matter; moderate
drinking clergymen may talk to his
drunken parishioner TIL doomsday, bus
he will never make him sober man as
long as he drinks himself.
