The Baby on the Other Side.
Who took him on The other side ?0

WHO took him on the other side ?"
a pair OF soft blue eyes, full Of tenderness
and tears, looked up into mine. Sorrow lay
on the lips that asked me-
"On the other side What do you mean
my darling ?" and looked at the child.
Baby, | mean" The little ones voice
trembled. "IIe was so small and weak, aud
had to 90 all alone. Who took him on the
other side2"
"Angels," l answered, as steadily as
could speak, for the child'i question moved me
deeply. Loving angels, who took him up
tenderly, and laid his head softly on their bo-
SONS, and sang to him sweeter songs than ne
had ever heard in this world
F." But every one will be strange to him.
I'm afraid he'll be grieved for mother and
nurse, and me-"
No, dear. The Saviour, who was once a
baby in this world, is there and the angels
who are nearest to Him take all the little
children who leave our side, and love and
care for them Just as if they were their own.
When baby passed through to the other side
one Of these angels held him by the hand all
the way, and he was not in the least afraid ;
and when the light Of heaven broke upon his
eyes, and he saw the beauty Of the new world
into which he had entered, his little heart was
full of gladness. The Lord, who tenderly
loves little children, who took them in His
arms and blessed them when He was on earth /;
who said that their angels do always behold
the face of My Father, is more careful Of
the babes who go to Him than the tenderest
mother could possibly be-"
I'm SO glad ~ said the child and it
makes me feel so much better. Dear baby !
| didn't know who would take him on the
other side."-Selected.

BE Social at Home.


Let parents talk much and talk well at
home. A father who is habitually silent in
his own house may be in many respects a
wise man but he is not wise in his silence.
We sometimes see parents, who are the life
of every company which they enter, dull,
silent, uninteresting at home among the chill
dren. If they have not mental activity and
mental stores sufficient for both, let them first
provide for their own household. Ireland
exports beef and wheat, and lives on potatoes;
and they fare as poorly who reserve their So
cial charms for companions abroad and keep
their dulness for home consumption. 1t is
better to instruct children and make them
happy at home than it is to charm strangers
OF amuse friends A silent house is a dull
place for young people, a place from which
they will escape if they can. They will talk
or think Of being " shut up" there and the
youth who does not love home is in danger

A Word for Wives.

Little wives if ever half-suppressed
sigh find place with you, or a half.unloving
word escapes you TO the husband you love,
let your heart 60 back to some tender word
in those first love days remember how you
loved him then, how tenderly he wooed you,
how timidly you responded and if you can
feel that you have not grown unworthy, trust
him for the same good love now. If you
feel that you have become less loyeable and
attractive than you then were, turn, by all
that you love on earth Or hope for in heaven
turn back, and be the pattern of loyeiness
that won him be the dear one" your at
fractions made you then. BE the gentle,
loving, winning maiden still and doubt not,
the lover you admired will live forever in
your husband. Nestle by his side, cling to
his love, and let his confidence in you never
fail and my word for it, the husband will
be dearer than the lover ever was. Above
all things do not forget the love he gave you
first.

Show me a boy who obeys his parents, who
has respect for age, always has friendly dis
position, and who applies himself diligently
to get wisdom and to do good toward others,
and if he is not respected and beloved then
there is no such thing as truth in the world.
Even when parents are ill-tempered and
unreasonable they should be treated with re-
spect and forbearanee by their children.
Olympia, mother of Alexander the Great,
was woman Of ambitious disposition, aud
occasioned much trouble to her son. Never
theless, when pursuing his conquests in Asia,
he sent her many splendid presents out Of
the spoils he had taken as tokens OF his affec-
ton. He only begged that she would not
NEEDLE with state affairs, but allow his king
dom to be managed peaceably by his COVER
nor, Antiper When she sent harsh reply
to the request which he had made, he bore il
patiently, aud did not use sharp language in
return.
On one occasion, when she had been unu-
sually troublesome, Antiper sent him letter
of her in very greyious terms.
Alexander only said; "Antirer does not
know that one single tear Of my mother is
able to blot out six hundred of his epistles."
A boy was once tempted by some of his
companions to pluck ripe cherries from tree
which his father had forbidden him to touch.
You need not be afraid" said one of his
companions " for if your father should find
out that you have taken them he is SO kind
he would not hurt you"
THAT is the very reason" replied the boy,
" why would not touch them. Ii is true
that my father would not touch me, yet my
know, would hurt my father,
and that would be worse to me than anything
else"
A boy who grows up with such principles
will be man in the best sense Of the word.
1t shows a regard for rectitude that would
render him trustworthy under every trial.

Perseverance and, no doubt, With considera-

&c. Solely, Of the United Btsees Navy, at
tached to Admiral Porter's staff, arrived yes
terday with dispatches from San Domingo,
accompanied BY Cohen, Commissioner for
exchange Of ratification Of the treaty. The
latter SAYS the vote in favor of annexation
was conducted In most peaceable way all
over the country. The agricultural districts
we're almost unanimous for annexation, the
people only wishing for tranquility, security
and order, TINT they may devote themselves
to Industry. The question of annexation to
Spain, which has been discussed during two
years, was carried BY only 400 votes. Cabra-
els election, in 1866, was effected through
universal suffrage, by a majority of $4,000;
but the vote in favor of annexation to the
United States, taken in less than fortnight,
without any kind of interference on the part
Of the Government, or the presence of sin
gle soldier, was decided BY majority of
5000 with an opposition Of only two PEI
cent. Everything was quiet when the Com
mission left, and the merchants were await
ing anxiously the decision Of the United
States. Not only in San Domingo, but in
the surrounding West India Islands. it is
considered that annexation is necessary to
their salvation as means Of future welfare.
