A BEAUTIFUL SENT IMENT. Sorrow So
bers us ard makes the mind genial. And
in sorrow we love and trust our friends
more tenderly, and the dead become
dearer to US. And Just as the stars shine
out in the night so there are blessed faces
that look to us in our grief, though their
features were faded from our recollection.
Suffering Let no man dread it too
much, because it is better for him, and it
will help to make him sure of being i'm
mortal. 1t is not in the bright days, but
only in the solemn night that other worlds
are seen shining in the long. long distance.
And it is in the night of the soul, that
we see furthest, and know ourselves ma
tlves of eternity and sons and daughters
of the Most High

IDLE GIRLS. -It is painful spectacle
in familses where the mother is the
drudge. to see the daughters, elegantly
dressed, reclining at their ease with their
drawing, their music, their fancy work
and their reading, beguiling themselves
of the lapse of hours, days and weeks,
and never dreaming of their responsible
tiles; but, as a necessary consequence OF
neglect of duty, growing weary of their
useless lives, lay hold of every newly in
vented stimulant to rouse their dropping
energies, and blaming their fate, when
they dare not blame their God for having
placed them where they are These in
dividuals will often tell you, with an air
of affected compassion, for who can be-
lleve it real, that poor mamma is work
ing herself to death, yetno sooner do you
propose that they should assist her, than
they declare she is quite in her element !:
m short, that she would not be happy if
she had only half SO much to do.

there is no longer even a shadow of hope

company. 1t is certain that none Of them
reached even as far as Montreal Island,
and their bones lie scattered along the
coast of King Williams Land, some in
isolated graves, others in camping places,
where they died in companies. The mel
ancholy history has its browning terror in
the knowledge that they died by starva-
ton, through the base behavior of the
Esqulmaux, and that, learning their fate,
Capt. Hall was reduced to the awful neces-
sity Of taking the life of one of his own
mutInous men. Mr. Hall states that the
Erebus and Terror were abandoned. One
OF them consummated the great north

Boys CoMPos1T1oN.-The following
was read in one of our shoots, yester-
day, and was handed us for publica-
ton.
THE FAMILY COW.
Perhaps there is no animal which our
Creator has made which is OF more do
nestle use than the cow. The COW gives
milk; she also gives long walk to the
bow who drives her to pasture, and Of.
ten gives him pair of rosy cheeks, an
appetite for his breakfast; and the cow
gives milk.
The COW Is of many different colors.
She is sometimes white, she is some
times red, she is sometimes yaller; but
the COW gives milk.
There are many different breeds OF
cows; the horny COW, the muly COW, and
great many other kinds of cows. Some
people like the COW that gives butter
milk the best. The cow is used for diff
terent purposes. In some countries the
cow is used as beast OF burden; some
times for beef which we eat; sometimes
for house, as the little girl in the barn
yard said when 1t began to rain and she
got under the COW; and the COW gave
milk.
She is also used as an instrument for
kicking over the milk pail of farm
maid and causing her ire to rise; and
then the COW gives milk. The cow is as
useful after death as before. Out other
hide are made boots and shoes which
are sold by Forgey and Hughes; the
horns are used for powder horns to help
the Red skins; her bones are used to
make buttons and glue; her head for
making soft-sOap to wash the Tax-pay-
ers' clothes; and her feet are used to
make COW feet jelly which is very good;
and still the COW gives milk and for this
composition you are indebted TO your
friend. UNo.
p. S.-Before close must tell you
that if it was not for the COW we would
have TO buy our butter and milk.
