j There is no better way 10 ruin
young man than to give him to UNDER
stand in early life that his future sue
cess will not depend upen his own in
dividual efforts. There are cases L.
which young men, who have had such
/ teachings, have overcome their preni-
ciOus effects, but as compared with the
J whole, these are exceptions and not
/ the rule. The parent, who thoroughly
impress.s upon the mind OF his boy tho
idea that he viii be dependent upon his
own exertions-that the responsibility

selLwill find that a good work has
been wrought, the effects of which will
be seen only when the boy enters upon
| the grand struggle which is to result i'm
| triumphant victory or lamentable de-
feat. A boy thus taught feels that he
has duty to perform-that while he
may have the support and influence Of
| a parent to assist, still, upon his own
energies and efforts will depend his sue
cess. He recognizes, therefore, that he
is a power within himself, and this
knowledge puts q restraint upon i'm
moral tendencies, and prompts to hab-

pride of the moment when he found

rely upon themselves. Teach them to

when they incline to vacillate or waver,

THE HEARTsEAsE.-There is good
fable told about kings garden, i'm
! which, all at once, the trees and tiOw-
ers began 70 wither away; the oak, be-
cause it could not yield any fair flow
ers; the rosebusll, because il could bear
no fruit the vine, because it had to
cling to the wall, and could cast no cool
shadow. -.. ..r. 80. -r.

oak.

bush. ....r. Il.
"What good can I do~ murmured
the vine.
Then the king saw little heartsease,
which, all the time, held up it, little
cheerful face, while all the rest were
sad.
And the king said, "What makes you
SO bright and blooming when all the
rest are fading"
"I thought said the little heartease,
"you wanted me here, because you
planted me; and so thought would
try to lie the best little heartease that
could be-" ~.

THE WRONG NERsE.-Little Char

comrades, feeling the dignity of his po-
sition very much.
One of the exercises of the school
was reciting verses. As each little one
arose and repeated some little text ar
motto, Charlie was asked if he could

! WHAT A BRITISH WoN.AS DID,
During the reign of Nero q part Of Brit
ain was subjugated by the Romans un-
! der Paulinus. But soon after the free
spirit Of Boadicea, Queen of the Iceni.
a Britanic tribe that inhabited the re-
gion about Norwich, unable to bear the
yoke of q conqueror, excited her people
to revolt, and made noble effort to
gain her former freedom. Marching To
London, then q fiourishing Roman
town, she destroyed it, and was follows
ing this up with other successes, when
! she was defeated in sanguinary bat
tie by the Roman general; and rather
than surrender to her hated foes, she
poisoned herself. Here We have ano-
ther proof that the "sphere" OF woman
/ Is not that given to her by men Dut
that it is as wide rs her talents. II the
81 sphere of some women does not ex-
tend beyond the limits of silly fashion.
