DON'T BOX THE CHILDREN'S
EARS,

EARS.
Children's ears ought never to be box
ed We have seen that the passage of
the ear is closed by a thin membrane,
especially adapted to be influenced by
every impulse of the air, and with moth
ing but the air to support it internally.
What then, can be more likely to injure
this membrane than sudden and forci-
BILE compression of the air in front Of it :?
Many children are made deaf by boxes
on the ear in this way. Nor is this the
only way: if there is one thing which
does the nerve Of hearing more harm
than almost any other, it is sudden jar
OF shock. Children and grown persons
alike may be entirely deafened by falls
or heavy blows upon the head. And
boxing the ears produces similar effect,
though more slowly and in less degree
1t tends to dull the sensibility of the
nerve, even if it does not hurt the men,
brane knew pitiful case once of a
youth who died from terrible disease
of the ear. He had had discharge
from it since he was child. Of course
his hearing had been dull: and what
happened was that his father had often
boxed his ear for inattention Most
likely the boxing ON the ear, diseased as
it was, had much to do with his dying.
And this brings me to the second point.
Children should never be blamed for be-
ing inattentive, until it has been found
out whether they are not a little deaf.
This is easily done by placing them at a
few yards distance, and trying whether
they can understand what is said to
them in rather low tone of voice. Each
ear should be tried while the other is
stopped by the finger. I do not say
that children are never guilty of mat
tention, especially to that which they
do not particularly wish to hear; but !
do say that very many children are
blamed and punished for inattentlon
when they really do not hear And
there is nothing at once more cruel and
more hurtful to the character of chill.
dren than to be found fault with fol
what is really their misfortune. Three
things should be remembered here:
That slight degree of deafness, otter
lasting only for a time, are very com
mon among children, especially during
or after colds. 2. That slight deaf
ness, which does not prevent person
from hearing when he is spoken to, will
make him very dull to what he is no
expecting; g. That there is kind o
deafness in which person can hea
pretty well while listening, but is yer,
! hard of hearing when not listening

WISE USE OF MoNEY.-If money
comes, let it come. He who sends it
does not mean it to hurt us. We need
not fear it wish feeble terror, though
no one sin has ruined SO many souls as
covetousness. We will not spring at it
with futter of excited joy, for it is a
grevious trial to the humblest and simp-
lest. u
And if money goes, let it 60. Only
let us see that it does not 60 through
folly or sin of ours. Job lost his one
way, and Lot lost his in another. The
end of Job was crown of glory. but
the candle of Lot went out in hideous
night. Probably there are few of us
who have lived to middle life, very few
of us who have lived to middle life, very
few indeed who have passed it, to whose
door could be laid no error of judgment
in spending their money, no faint of
conscience in making it. In this great
est of great trusts, who has not some
times failed? Conscience has said,
"Give," and we have not given We
have steeled our hearts, and summoned
our coolest judgment to Justify us in re-
fusals, which now we would gladly get
back; but it is too late. Witnesses to
our self-indulgence surround US in every
room we enter if we have done some
thing for our Lord, our heart whispers
we might have done SO much more
But there is time in front; and He
who gives us power to get wealth will
also give us wisdom to use it, if we real
ly ask Him. Let us be wise, simple and
kind.

A prisoner standing at the bar in the
time of his trial seemed to smile when
heavy charges were laid against him.
One that stood by asked him why he
smiled. "Oh," said he, cit is no mat
ter what the evidence says, so long as
the judge says nothing" 1t is no mat
ter what the world says, so long as God
approves.
A story is told by certain Deacon
Giles, who proposed to change his resi-
dence so as to avoid the constant troub-
lie In which he was involved with his
neighbors. His daughter suggested to
her father, that she was afraid Deacon
Giles would 60 with him. The denizens
of mans own heart are often his most
troublesome neighbors, and are the hard
est to get away from.
Here is pleasant item. Governor
Leslie of Kentucky has had a class of
twenty-five young men in Baptist SUM-
day School for six years, during which
time sixteen have been converted, and
become active members of the church.
and honest, prosperous members of soci-
ETY..
Since 1871, the children of the En-
glish Wesleyan churches have raised fol-
missionary purposes 204,26O pounds
more than million dollars. See what
little hands can do, with good organi
cation.
Philosophy is proud, sullen detectol
of the poverty and misery of man. L
may turn him from the world with +;
proud, sturdy contempt; but it canno
come forward, and say, Here are rest

Well arranged time is the surest mari

RHUBARB PIE.-Prepare the stalks by
peeling off the thin, reddish skin, and
cutting in half or three quarter-inch
pieces, which spread evenly in your
crust-lined tins. Sift on little flour,
to which add bit of butter and tea
cup of sugar, if for a large pie. How
ever, it is desirable to economize sugar,
or when a very sharp, sour taste is not
relished, pinch of soda may be used to
advantage, with less sugar as it goes far
toward neutralizing the acid. eve
would here add: save all the surplus
pie plant, prepare as for use, and dry in
the sun, as stove-heat turns it dark.
Soak and stew for winter use, with sugar
and soda as above for pies. 1t makes
also nice sauce for tea.)

SMALL HoRsEs.-The Southern Far
naer says: "The arguments may all be
in favor of great size, but the facts are
all the other way. Large horses are
more liable to stumble and be lame than
those of the middle size. They are
clumsy, and cannot fill themselves SO
quick. There is nothing more surpris-
ing to western men than to visit Montre-
al and see the small but stout Canadian
horses hauling large two-seated carriages,
full Of people, with apparent ease. A
horse weighing 900 pounds in Maine
takes chaise or Concord wagon, with
two men in it, and makes fifty or sixty
miles day over hills that might have
terrified Hannibal. But their weight is
where it ought to be. It is compact,
and not lying around loose. 1t is mus
Gle, not pulp, what we want IN horse. -

HAVING TooLs.-Thousands of far
mers under whose eyes this item will
fall will find it peculiarly addressed to
themselves. Its object is to induce them
to make use of the first stormy day to
overhaul their moving machines, ted
ders, horse-rakes and forks; see that
every worn part is renewed and every
weak part made strong, and that every
thing connected with them is in first
rate running order, duplicates being pro-
vided of such pieces as are liable to
break in the field. A dollar spent now
may save many dollars in lost time and
damaged hay. There is no more I'm.
promising sight than that of farmer
driving five miles to town in the height
OF the haying season to repair last sum
mer,s damages to his hay-rake.

There is nothing more cruel than to
strike, kick and speak harshly to young
animals; they have an instinct that
teaches them to comprehend kindness
and its opposite. The best COW we ever
had was a pet with the children, and,
when calf, was MIXED by them, fed
and caressed, and there never was a
more gentle animal or better mixer.
