Now It happened, as is common, that the
miller's wife set number of ducks eggs un-

incubated. and Of course, as soon as they came
forth. ran with natural instinct to the water;
and the hen was in a sad pncker, her'materni-
ty urging her 10 follow the brood, and her
scl6shness disposing her TO stop on dry land
In the meanwhile up sailed the goose, aud
with noisy gabble, which certainly (being
interpreted) meant. Leave them to my care,
she swan up and down with the ducklings
and when they were tired Of their aquatic ex-
cursion. she consigned them to the care Of the
hen. The next morning down came the duck.

were not at all sure that the goose invited the
hen. observing her maternal trouble but it
is fact that she being near the shore, the

ducklings swimming, and the goose and hen
after them, up and down the pond. And this
was not solitary avent. Day by day the
ben was seen on board the goose, attending

The newspaper, quite as much as our pub
lie schools, is in America the great creator Of
a nation Of thinkers and debaters. The
American editor aims not at the choice die
tion Of an essayist. and pays little attention to
mere distractions and vain theories He
writes as If he would give The greatest guam

The pulpit must first labor to effect an i'm
provement in the character of the religious
press The religious wpapers are far be-
hind the secular press. in breadth Of views
and comprehensiveness and liberality Of ac-
ton. and he might venture to say, in religion
itself. They take most Of their news from
the daily press. and even their reports Of re-
ligous meetings-whilc it is not unfrequent
for them to turn around and charge the re-
poriers with ireligion. The religious pre-
is too often narrow -minded-it does not seem
TO understand its true policy and duties; and
The violencs and animosity that peryaie its
columns are even worse than that Of political
editors on the eve Of an election.
