try will be in no danger from the vile tricks o.
demagogues.
How much more intelligent and respectable
and refined and superior in every way, do the
members of family, that have enjoyed the
reading of books and papers, appear, than those
that have had no such advantages. The former
are able to converse inteligenty on almost any
topic; the latter are ignorant of the world, and
are unable to reason on any subject of. general
interest. This is true in cases in which wealth
has nothing to do in the matter.
Now fear that those who most need to read
this article, will not see it. | would therefore
earnestly request the reader of it, who is sub
scriber to the paper, to hand it to his neighbor
who does not take it, with request that he will
read it, and subscribe at once for the paper, and
pay for it in advance. A. AW.

The Family Circle,

NUMBER EIGHT.
Every family should take at least one religious
and one political newspaper. Let no family say
that they are not able to do this. Isay no fam
lily is able to do without papers One reason
why so many are poor all their days, is because
of their ignorance. Let almost any poor man
take paper, and pay for it, and read it atten-
lively, it will so arouse his mind, and set him to
acting for himself that he will soon become a
man of business. But suppose taking papers
does not help family to gain property, there is
something Of more value to us than dollars and
cents Who could not annually sacrafice little
sum rather than remain in ignorance all his days?
Parents can, if poor, give their children what is
far better than wealth. What is 50 valuable as
knowledge-the right kind of knowledge From
a good paper that comes into a family weekly, a
vast amount of knowledge can be gained in the
course of year, The influence, too, of rell-
ligious paper is very great, and of inestimable
value in family 1t is of value in two ways at
least 1t gives information and instruction on
many topics, and likewise occupies the time Of
younger members of the family and gives them
employment when they would otherwise spend
Papers that come periodically are more certain
to be read than books. The youngest child that
can read, loves to read little in the newspaper
as it comes. And even those that are too young
too read, will often carry the paper to their moth.
err to have her read some story for them. Thus
they get thirst for knowledge, and likewise are
weekly treasuring up some useful informant on
The benefit which they thus derive is beyond
our estimation, The knowledge thus gained is
like seed sown upon good ground it will al
some future day bring forth hundred fold.
In country like ours, where the people make
their own laws, it is of immense immportance
that all be well instructed in the politics of oul
nation. As soon as children are old enough tC
begin to understand the subject, they should have
instruction. Every family, then, as said above
should take political newspaper. Unless they
do this, they will remain ignorant of the grea
events that must be known in order to act intel
ligently as citizens. Hundreds and thousand o
voters at the present day, are no more qualified
to vote inteIIigently than an infant They VOTE
as their leaders tell them, and that is all they
know about it. They hear much said about Tar
if and AntiTariff, and perhaps vociferPte loud,
in favor of one side or the other, while a
the same time they know no more about the sub
iect than a man in the moon. This gives ou
base political demagogues every advantage tina
they can desire. Surely such things ought no
so to be- The remedy for this state of things
is, making the family circle what it ought to be

papers, and have them well read, and our coun

knowledge cannot be poured into child's
mind like fluid from one vessel into another
The pupil may do something by intuition, but
generally there must be conscious Effort on his
part. Though much may be done by others to
aid, yet the effective labor must be performed by
the learner himself 1t must be remembered
that he is not passive recipient, but an active
voluntary agent;nay more, it is not enough to give
admission and welcome to knowledge, but he
must reach out and grasp and bring home.
1t is the duty of the teacher to. bring knowl-
edge within arms length of the learner, and he
must break down its masses into portions so min
ute that they can be taken up and appropriated
one by one; but the final appropriatng act must
be the learners. knowledge is not annexed tc
the mind like foreign substance, but the mind
asslmilates it by its own vital powers. 1t is fal
less true that each one must earn his own breaC
by the sweat of his own brow, than it is thai
each one must earn his own knowledge by the
labor of his own brain; for strictly speaking
nature recognizes no title to it by inheritance
gift or hnding.-HOrace Mann.

Practical Goodness,

"The animal man discerneth not the things Of
the Spirit of God, neither can he know them
because they are spiritually discerned" and this
effect must be felt Just in proportion as the ami
NAL nature gains power even in those who are
renewed. Our great aim, therefore, must be tc
bring up the tone and vigor of practical godli
ness in the church; to prepare her clearly to see
the sin of war and slavery, and, at the same time
to give tenderness to the conscience and reso-
luteness to the will, for the destruction of these
enormous crimes.
And who ought to be foremost in the Church
but its pastors If the Church is the light Of
the world, they are the light of the Church. In
stead of sinking to the level of the people, they
should draw up the people to their own instead o
a hmld, shrinking tlme-servng spirit, and acting
upon the law of expedency, let them in the spir.
it of martyrdom, and what else, or less, is the
spirit of the gospel proclaim from the pulpit
and, if need be, from the prison, and the stake
the sin of whatsoever opposeth itself to the king
dom of God. When the Church is what il
ought to be, the world will be converted and
the church will be what it should be, when it,
ministers are. A better church will make a bet
ter world, and better a ministry will make bet
ter church. Let this be sounded forth through
all lands.-ReU J. A. James,

The SignS Of the Times,

A new comprehension of the Christian spirit

common Father this is among the signs of our
times. We see it do we not feel it? Before
this, all expressions are to fall Society, silently
