THAT BOY.


Is the house turned topsy turyy
Does it ring from street to roof?
Will the racket still continue,
Spite OF all your mild reproOf?
Are you often in a flutter
Are you sometimes thrilled with Joy
: Then 1'haye my grave suspicious,
That you have at home that boy.
Are the walls and tables hammered7
Are your nerves and ink upset?
Have two eyes, SO bright and rOguiSh,
Made you every care forget
Have your garden beds prowler,
Who delights but to destroy
These are Well-knOWn indications Tax.
That you have at hOme-that boy.
Have you seen him playing circus
With his head upon the mat,
And his heels in mid air twinkling-
: For his audience, the cat
Do you ever stop to listen,
When his merry pranks annoy
Listen to voice that whispers,
You We're once just like-that boy. y
Have you heard of broken windows,
y And with nobody to blame t?
Have you seen trowSered urchln
Quite unconscious of the same
Doyou love a teasing mixture
OF perplexity and JOY
You may have dozen daughters,
But know you've got-that boy.

Methodist-The ProDat ton System

The Methodist Churches, South, have
abandoned the "probation system"
and Rev. DIR. Edwards makes the fol-
lowing report of the success attend
ing the change:
The transaction was easy and with
out any friction. Pastors became more
careful and guarded in receiving mem
bers. The fruits of our revivals were
gathered in with caution and with
solemn and impressive ceremonies,
and the result has been that COM
paratively small percentage of their
additions to the church is lost. Tue
experiment has proved perfectly salts
factory, | have never heard,
to my recollection. solitary preacher
or lnymen express any regret that the
probation system was abolished IN
our branch of the great Methodist
family; but, on the contrary, in inte--
changing views with pastors and peo-
pie, have everywhere. heard unquali-
fed qualification expressed at the
change.-TN. Y. Observer.

Emigration of NIennonites.


On Friday last delegation of near
ly hundred Menonnites, from the
Crimea, arrived in this city on thier
way to the West to make arrange
ments for an extensive emigration to
this country They are from the vii
lages of Friedensteig ("Stone of
Peace'') and Bruderfield ("Brothers'
Field in the Crimea, five miles from
the shore of the Black Sea. 1t is now
five weeks since they left Russia, jour
neying to this country by way of Fec
dessa, Odessa, Berlin and Hamburg.
They are essentially german, speaking
the language of Fatnerland. They
emigrated long time ago to Russia
on account of their religious princi-
pies, one of which is that they cannot
perform any military service. Repre-
sentatives of this sect ara found in the
Netherlands, Germany, Russia, Switz
erland, France and America The
whole valley of the Vistula is scat
tered over with them. In W Crimea
they have their own church schools,
which their children are obliged to at
tend from the age of six to fourteen
years. They have also their higher
schools, up to the grade necessary for
teachers of the children's schools.
They are nearly all agriculturists. In
settling on the steppes of Southern
Russia every colony planted forest
and fruit trees, and now every house
is surrounded by an orchard, with a
piece of woods in the vicinity.
By q Russian edict of the 4th of
June, 1871, they, with all the colonies
in Russia, were allowed to choose be-
tween emigration, or, not having emf
grated at the end of ten years, to he
come subject to all the laws and obli-
cations of ordinary Russian subjects.
The Canadian Government held out
inducements to the Mennonites to set
tie in Canada, promising them com
plete immunity from military service :;
but the people refused, saying that if
they were obliged to emigrate they
would prefer to come TO the United
States. This advance guard is prin-
cipally composed of young mep, with
