WORK FOR CHILDREN


There is no greater defect in educating
children than neglecting to accustcm them to
work. The parent does not consider wheth-
er the childs work is necessary to the child
Nothing is more true than that future indie
pendence and comfort much depends on be-
ing accustomed to work accustomed to pro-
vide for the thousand recurring wants that
nature entails upon us. If this we're no: so,
sill it preserves them from bad habits. secures
their health, it strengthens both body aud
mind, it enables them better to bear the con-
fncment of .he school room. and it tends more
than anything else to give them just views of
life Growing up in the world without a
knowledge Of its tolls and cares they view it
through false medium. They cannot appre-
ciate the favors you bestow, as they do not
know the tolls they cost Their bodies and
minds are enervated, and they are constantly
exposed to whatever vicious associations are
within their reach No man or woman is full

whatever their mental training & deduction
must be made for their ignorance Of that i'm

Young people who have Seen habitually
gratfied 10 their desires, win not only more
indulge the eapricious desires, but will infal-
IDLY take it more amiss when the feelings or
happiness of others require that they should
be thwarted. than those who have been prac
tically trained to the habit Of subdning and
restraining them, and consequently. will in
general, sacrifice the happiness of others to
their own selfish indulgence To what else
is the selishness of Princes and other great
people to be attributed ! 1t is vain to think
Of eultivatiug principles of generosity and be-
nefcence by mere exhortation and reasoning.
Nothing but the practical habit of overcom
ing our own sel6hness. and of Familiarity en-
countering privations and discomfort OH ac-
count of others, win ever enable us to do il
when required. And therefore | am firmly
persuaded that indulgence infallibly produces
selfshness and hardness Of heart. and that
nothing but pretty severe discipline and
control, can lay the foundation Of magyar.

is remarkable how the mind of the world has

a single steamboat in existence, and the APP

Fulton launched the first steamboat in 1907
Now there are three thousand steamboats,
traversing the waters Of America, and the
time saved is equal to per cent. The riv-

traversed BY steamboats, In 1900 there was
not . single railroad in the world In the

INDIAN SUMMER.

There is time, just ere the frost
Prepares to pave old Winters way,
When Autumn, in reverie lost,
Themellow daytime dreams away
When Summer comes, in musing mind,
To gaze once more on hill and dell,
To mark how many sheaves they bind,
And see If all is ripened we'll.
With balmy breath she whispers low,
The dying flowers look up and give
Their sweetest incense ere they go,
For her who made their beauties live.
She enters meath the Woodland shade,
Her zephyrs lift the lingering leave,
And bear it gently where are laid
The loved and lost ones of its grief
She seeks the shore, old Ocean hcaves
In gladncss huge bis mighty breast,
Prisons his wild winds in the caves,
And basking in their smiles is blest.
And last old Autumn, rising. takes
Again his sceptre and his throne,
With boist'rous hands the trees he shakes
Intent on gathering all his own.
Sweet Summer, signing, flies the plain,
And waiting Winter, gaunt and grim,
See miser Autumn hoard his grain,
And smiles to think its all for him.

Ry@ The Baltimore american says: A
question of unsettled boundary between the
States of Maryland and Virginia remains I'M
settled to tho present day. One Of the diff
culties arising under it was made manifest in
the course of the trial of case which took
place few DAYS since at Cumberland, and is

We may add that, while Maryland has always
evinced desire for the settlement of the mat
