9th. Its force is so great, that at n dis.
lance of two hundred feet, the ball will pass

7th. 1t is the cheapest gun to use, because
it never misses FIRE, and requires but a little
more than one half Of tho usual expense ioi
ammunition.
Sth. 1t is perfectly waterproof, may remain
loaded or empty under water for week
without danger, and can be carried any where
and in any position with perfect Safety.

Parents must never put away their own
youth. They must never cease to be young.
Their sympathies and sensibilities should be
always quick and fresh. They must be sus-
ccptable. They must love that which God
made the child to love. Children need not
only government, firm and mild, but sympa-
&y. warm and tender; So long as parents
are their best and most agreeable companions,
children are comparatively sale, even in the
society Of Others.

MAKING BnoNNG-If you do not begin
you will never come to the end. The first
weed pulled up in the garden, the first seed
set in the ground, the FIRST shilling put in the
savings bank, and the first mile travelled on
a journey, are all important things; they
make beginning, and thereby give hope,
promise, q pledge, an assurance that you
are in earliest with what you have under
taken. How many poor, idle, erring, hes
