ADVANTAGES OF CRYING.7-A French phy-
sician is out in a long dissertation on the adj
vantages of groanng and crying in general,
and especially during surgical operations.
He contends that groanng and crying are
two grand operations by which nature aIlays
anguish; that those patients who give way
to their natural feelings, more speedily re-
cover from accidents and operations than
these who think it unworthy man to be-
tray such symptoms of cowardice as either
to cry or groan. He tells of a man who re-
ducod lis pulse from 120 to GO in the course
of few hours, by giving full vent to his
emotions. If people are at all unhappy
about anything, let them 60 into their room
and comfort themselves with loud boo-hoo
and they will feel a hundred per cent. better
afterward. In accordance with the above,
the crying of children should not be t.o
greatly discouraged. If it he Systematically
repressed, the result may be St. Vitus'
dance, epieptic fits, or some other disease Of
The nervous system. What is natural is al
ways useful; and nothing can be more natural
than the crying of children when anything
occurs to give them either physical or mental
pain.

LINES ON THE BURIAL OF AN INFANT.
By G.. F. J.. HoTH.

By G.. F. l.. HoTH.
Little d-grain, now sink deep
To thy lone and silent sleep,
To thy place of rest.
Loan I'll scatter over thee,
Till thou art out of sight to me,
Mingled with the dust.
But not always shall thou lay
Mingled thus with mould and clay;
Thou will rise again,
Grow up bright, and fill the air
With fragrance sweet and rare,
Shine in beauty's train.
Thus thou too, sweet little babe,
Like that seed-grain, now art laid
In this bed of earth,
And like it thou too will rise,
And with angels in the skies
Sing Jehovah's praise.
Therefore friends, o do not weep
For our darling here asleep;
You will meet again
In fairer, better cline,
Wherein never changing time,
All are free from pain.

BEAUTIFUL THINGS.
BY NJ. A. KIDDER.

A gentle voice, heartfelt sigh,
A modest blush, a speaking eye,
A manner unaffected, free;
These things are beautiful to me.
A ready hand, a loving heart,
A sympathy that's free from art,
A real friend among the few;
These things are beautiful and true.
A mothers prayer, an answer mild,
An aged sire, little child,
A happy home, n cheerful hearth;
These things are beautiful on earth.
A joyful sonr, a chorus sweet,
An earnest soul and willing feet,
A day of peace, q night of rest;
These things are beautiful and blest.
A sisters love, brothers care,
A spotless name, jewel rare,
A cleanly tongue, that will not lie;
These things are beautiful-and why?
Because that all are born of love,
And emanate from God above;
An earnest of the heavenly birth,
These things are beautiful on earth.

JETFEEsoN's Ten RULES. Jefferson's ten
rules are good yet, especially so for those
who have the training of the pupils in our
public schools. They are so short and con-
cise and embody so much of value, that it
would be well il they were clipped and put
where we could see them often. They are
as follows:
l. Never put off till tomorrow what you
can do to-day.
3. Never trouble another for what you
can do yourself
3. Never spend your money before you
have it.
4. Never buy what you do not want be-
cause it is cheap.
5. Pride costs more than hunger, thirst
and cold.
6. We seldom repent of having eaten too
little.
I. Nothing is troublesome that we do
willingly.
s. How much pain the evils have cost us
that have never happened.
8. Take things always by the smooth
handle.
10. When angry, count ten before you
speak; if very angry, count hundred.

A ROMANTIC SToRY.-The Hartford, CT.
Post says lady and gentleman are now
living in that city, who were engaged to be
married more than thirty years ago, and
who are still anxiously awaiting the day
when they shall be made one. In 1910
they had been engaged for some time, but
did not marry because each had mother
dependent on him and her for support. The
two mothers refused to live together, and
their children would not leave them, but de-
cided to postpone their marriage until one or
the other should die. Both mothers are still
living, and the gentleman continues to visit
the lady, the flial duty still keeping them
apart. The man has had consumption for
several years, and doubtless ere either of the
now very aged mothers shall take their de-
parture, he will have gone to his last resting
place. Every day trembling old Romeo,
leaning heavily on a cane, with feeble steps,
wends his way to the house of Juliet, a
withered maiden lady, whose hair is silvered
with age and trouble. Truly they deserve
happiness if any couple ever did.

The outrage on English residents Of Yedo,
which We noticed some weeks ago, has been
followed by the assassination Of one of the
principal native Japanese Ministers. This af-
fair, like the first mentioned, has grave sig-
nlfcance for us ~ indicating growing hostility
to foreigners. for the murdered Minister WAS
prominent chiefly for liz liberal policy of
foreign intercourse. These and other Ggnii-
cant incidents previously noticed in our CORE
spOndcncc, indicate sufficiently the disrupted
condition of Japan. IL affords just now Il mel
ancholy example of an Empire doubtful of its
own existence. It's Monarch and Ministry
are the prey of arrogant foreign ambassadors,
impcrtincnt Captains of foreign mon-of-war.
and of their own llotspur Princes. They are
in danger of insult i'll one direction, rcVolu-
ton in another, assassination in another;
and general upiotting and castigating on
all sides. To be monarch of all he
surveys, under such deporable crcum-
stances of constant alarms aud of perpetual
dead, is hardly enticing even To u Mikado
aud the wonder is that he of Japan does nj
resign hi, temporary power To u proper spirited
Tycoon, and Withdraw again into the spiritual
shell from which he was Matched few years
ago. There has been no peace in Japan since
