England il not likely to swervc from her
policy of neutrality. A powerful Prussia is less
threatening to Great Britain than an omnipotcnt
France or Russia, aud this will, in reality become
the safest guarantee for the future peace Of
Europe. German civilization is akin to that Of
England and Of the United States, and is des-
tined TO elevate the standard Of thought all over
the world Nor can Germany ever become a ri.
val Of England on the sea- She viii always re-
main inland country, and q little additional
seacoast would not make her great maritime
power. Even in the event Of complications in
Belgium and Holland, it is probable that England
will find pretcxt for keeping out of the
fray. The old treaties which are invoked
by the Opposition, chiefly from q desire
to bother Gladstone's Administration, have
long since lost their vital force. The fact,
moreover, is that England has become more
Of All Asiatic than European power. Sac would
now hardly unsheath the sword and man her
feet excepting to defend her interests in the
Orient, and her possessions in India. Her stake
in European politics is rather OF traditional and
conventional than practical and vital character T;
and if she has winked at all the cnormties Of
LOUIS NAPOLEON for the sake of peace, it is not
at all probable that any attempt of BISMARCK
would impel her to break it, England
will no doubt avail herself Of any oppor.
tunity that may promise to pave the way
for peace between the coniendng par

indulge this luxury Of playing the good Samari-

tangling her in The meshes of the strife. Good
old England is full of fine phrases on such oc-
casions; but she will keep out OF harms way

KIND TO ALL THINGS.
MRS. u. A. KiDEER

Little children, bright and fair,
Blessed with every needful care,
Always bear this thing in mind.
God commands us to be kind.
Kind not only to our friends,
They on whom our life depends
Kind not only to the poor,
They who poverty endure,
But in spite Of form or feature
Kind TO every living creature.
Never pain or anguish bring,
Even to the smallest thing
For, remember that the fly,
Just as much ms you or !,
Is the work Of that great Hand,
That has made the sea and land
Therefore, children, bear in mind,
Erer, erer, to be kind.
