EDUCATE THE HEAD, HEART AND HAND
Every boy should have his head, his heart and
his hand educated Let this truth never be
forgotten. BY the proper education of the
head, he will be taught hat is good and what
is evil what is wise and what is foolish, what
is right and what is wrong by the proper
education of the heart we will be brought to
love what is good, wise and right and to hate
what is foolish and wrong. And by proper
education of the hand, he will be enabled to
supply his wants, to add to his comforts, and
to assist those around him. The highest OBJ
jects of good education are to reverence and
obey Con, and to love and TO serve mankind.
Everything that helps US in attaining those
objects is of great value and everything that
hihders US is comparatively worthless. When
wisdom reigns in the head, and love in the
heart, the man is ever ready to do good, and
peace regns around, and sin and sorrow are
almost unknown.

MY BROTHERS, THREE.

We shall miss our absent brothers,
When the snow flakes fall Ground
And the wind in mournful whispers,
Echos forth doleiul sound.
When the stars are brightly shining,
Shedding forth their golden light,
When the sable robe of evening,
Covers earth with darkcn'd night.
When we breathe our prayers at evening,
We remember brothers dear
Asking COP to guide and save them,
Through all dangers that are near!
On the CORY fields of battle,
Where the shells and bullets fall,
Guard them. Father-shield, protect them,
Save my brothers, one and all.
When we gather round the freside,
By the old familiar hearth,
Then. perhaps, my three dear brothers,
Rest upon the cold damp earth!
Who can tell the griefa and sorrow,
That a sister holds concealed,
When, perhaps, her noble brothers,
Sleep upon the battle field?

A CHMD's FAuH-In the Highlands of
Scotland, there is a mountain gorge twenty
feet in width, and two hundred feet in depth
Its perpendicular walls are bare of vegetation,
save in the crevices, in which grow numerous
wild flowers of rare beauty. DESTROYS of OBJ
tanning specimens of these mountain beauties,
some scientific tourists once offered Highland
boy handsome gift if he would consent to be
lowered down the cliff by rope, and would
gather little basket full of them. The boy
looked wstfully at the money, for his parents
were poor, but when he gazed at the yawning
chasm, he shuddered, shrunk back and declined
But fal love was strong within him, and af,
ter another glance at the gift, and at the terri
BILE fissure, his heart grew strong, his eye flash
ed, and be said:
" | will go If my FATHER 1cW h0ld the rope"
And then with unshrinking nerves, and
heart firmly strong he suffered his father to
put the rope about him, lower him into the
wild abyss, and to suspend him there while
he filled his basket with the coveted flowers
1t was daring deed, but his faith in the
strength of his fathers arm and the love of
his fathers heart gave him courage and pow
er to perform it.
