Occupation for Children.

The habits ofchidren prove that occupation is
a necessity with most of them. They love to be
busy, even about nothing, still more to be useiuly
employed. With some children it is a strongly
developed physical necessity ;and if not turned to
good account,wll be productive ofayil thus verify
ing the old adage, that 'idleness is the mother of
mischief Children should be encouraged, if in.
cined to do it, or, if not inclined, should be dis
clplined into performing for themselves every
little Office relative to the toilet, which they are
capable of performing, They should also keep
their own clothes and possessions in neat order,
and fetch for themselves whatever they want in
short, they should learn to be as independent Of
the services of others spossible, fitting them a
like to make good use Of prosperity, to meet
with foititude any reverse OF fortune that may be-
fall them. We know otno rank, however exalted,
in which such system would not prove bene.

God bless We, brothers I'm the fight

Forget ye how the blood of Vane
From earths green bosom cried
The great hearts from your olden time
Are beating with you, full and strong;

And glorious round ye throng.
The bluff, bold men of Runnymead
Are with We still in times like these;
The shades of EngIand's mighty dead
Your cloud of Witnesses
The truths We urge are borne abroad
By every wind and every tide;
The voice of Nature and of God
Speaks out upon your side
The wea,ons which your hands have iounu
Are those which Heaven itseIfhas wrought
Light, Trth, and Love your battle-ground
The fire., broad field OF Thought
No partial, elhsh purpose breaks
The simpl beauty of your plan,
Nor I've from hrone or altar shakes
Your steady laith in man.
The languid pulse of England starts
And bounds beueath your words OF power
The beating Of her million hearts

To bind the long lost soul to Heaven,
BY the eternal power, which leads
The spirit to the Cross it needs,
The Holy Word, spare, critic, spare,
Nor touch Que jol, one title there.
Ii is the loutest, dearest name
That ever woke the minsuePs fame;
No music, since the world began,
Fer spoke like this to ruined man;'
Through the dark valley of the dead,
Its echo tells where angels tread.
Though from our classic temples torn,
Time honored relics we may mourn;
Though, round Cathedral walls thy hand
Lets not one Ivy.tendril stand,
Yet this great name should rest forever,
Unmarrd unchang'd-oh touch it never.
Dearer than life--gurpasing word
In those aral hymns, 6rst heard,
When Angels left their native skies,
With golden harps from Paradise,
Oh, Saviour let thy grace divine
Dwell In this sorrwing heart Of mine.
Though we forget our mother tongue
While Yandsls rage-where seraphs sung
Yet my soul recks not grief nor care,
Write but thy name, bless'd Saviour, there; (;
In Him, may U and bear sway
Though heav'n and earth should pass away.

dren either by corpOreal punishment, or by re-
