Baptismal Hymn.

!Sung at the baptism Of child OF Mr.. B. Thorn
as and Mrs. Cclestla c. Stevens of Glover, ant
written for the occasion by the mother.
o Thou. the oy'nant keeping God, we come
To dedicate to Thee our little one,
In love Thou gayest him to Us, and we
In heart and faith would give him back to Thee
We ask not for him honor, wealth, or power
Bubbles OF earth that perish in an hour;
We ask not for him length of days on earth,
But o, we pray Thee, grant him the new birth.
Keep him from sinful pleasures fatal lure
And plant his feet upon foundation sure,
Fen on the Rock of ages" cleft for sin,
Such the petitions we would crave for him.
If Thou dost grant him here, with us, to stay
Help US 20 lead him IN the narrow way,
Or if Thou takest him while life is young
Thy praise, in grief, be yet upon our tongue.

HIS LOVE FOR CHILDREN.

The Beccher children were the life of
the father. There was always an unre-
strained freedom of intercourse, and most
exuberant independence in the expression
ofopinions. The family circle was often a
debating society, and woe to the luckless
one who had no opinions or who could not
defend those he had. Nor were they limi-
ted in the range Of subjects. Their field
was the world, whether of mind or matter;
whether Of nature or the supernatural. In
the family it was that the Beechers got
their root-hold and their primal develope-
ment; and as the girls did not go to col
lcge nor a convent boarding school, they
retained their individuality, and maintain
ed a progressive Development which has
by no means ceased to this day. The boys,
especially Henry Ward and Charles, were
so vigorously natural that teachers could
not make them over, and therefore they
were not spoiled in making--as boys gen
orally are.
This freedom of the family it was, which
made father and children so fresh. indie
pendent and impelling. And not merely
an intellectual freedom was this of the
Beechers, but social as well. Parent and
child were playmatcS as well as school
mates in the house. Exercise and amuse-
ment, play and fun was as freely participant
ed in as prayer and preaching. Gymnas-
tics, outdoor and indoor, kept blood and
brain, nerve and muscle all astir. The best
room in the house was not too good for
practice. | well remember calling upon
the family with two little girls to see the
young Beechers. We were seated in the
front room" until the children appeared.
As soon as they saw who had called, they
jumped with joy, saying, Come into the
sitting room, we are having such fun with
fatherW And sure enough, there he was
the great DIR. Beecher of half century
in years-going it on all fours from end to
end Of the room, with one and another, and
all on his back riding horse! Now, he
would throw them, and then they would
throw him. What cantering, jumping and
tumbling! When down, the children wol'C
take him by the legs and drag him back
and forth, and roll him over and over, un
til an upjump and a runaway of the horse
and ringing shout and scamper of the
children to head and hold him.
How unlike all this was the practice q
minister's and deacon's families forty year
ago. And how unlike the results. Aye
how different the practice of today in near
ly all of our homes. Henry Ward has wei
said that "There is no place for boys now
a-days." The parlor is too good for them
and the street is too bad for them, and tn
grand old kitchen has been abolished, am
where can boy-nature have fair play? Bo
naturel Who knows or cares anything alb
out it? And yet is it not the greatest of al
studies? Oh, for parents and homes tha
will develop noble boyhood into noble
manhood,

By the side of a ripping brook in one of

The VICTIMS OF THE FRENCH Rev.
OLUTION.-A recent number Of the
Paris Monde newspapers gives the
following curious statistics:
"The French Revolution, which
certain writer's have set themselves
the task of justifying, was not, as they
say, the work of the people, who suf,
fered as much or even more than the
wealthy from the odious excuses for
which efforts are now made to render
them responsible. The following sta
tistics are eloquent on that point !:
Mobiles executed, 1918; women of the
same class, $50; together, POPS.
Nuns, $50; priests, 2135; together,
24S5. Females of the laboring class
es, 1867; commoners of all condi-
tons. 1888; together, 1900. Wo-
men of the people killed in La Ven
dee, $4,000; children, $4,000, to.
ge.her, 900. At Nantes the unmber
of Carriers victims was $4,000, of
whom the mobiles and clergy formed
only very small proportion-namely
mobiles drowned, 400; priests shot
800; drowned, AGO. In recapitula.

Grass or No Grass

Mr. Quinn, the author of Pear Culture
for profit, has a great tondness for making
experiments. \ certain editor of one of
our horticultural journals has been advo-
eating for several years the abandonment
of the practice of cultivating orchards af-
ter they have reached bearing size To
practically test this nO-Culture system, Mr..
Quinn selected six rows of strOngand heal
thy pear trees, and seeded down the land
about them with grass and the result has
been anything but satisfactory. Although
no grass has been removed from the land,
it being cut and allowed to rot and return
to the soil, vet thctrees have almost entire
" ceased growing and when we saw them,
a few days since, the fruit upon them was
not half the size as upon trees adjoining
that were cultivated, and the general APP
pearance of the trees was picture of fee
bleness. This experiment has cost Mr..
Quinn several hundred dollars in loss Of
fruit but he has the satisfaction of proving
| the falsity of this -cultivating theory.
