SUNDAY SCHOOL SCHoLARs.-Upon the
precise nature of the answers by the little
children in the Sunday School, to questions
put by their teachers, it is not altogether safe
to count. At Nazareth, on Sunday last an
assistant superintendent was engaged in ad-
dressing the children. His subject was the
Promised Land. "'You see, children" he
continued, after explaining the exodus of
Moses and the sandy character of the desert,
"you see,my dear children, how Moses brought
them into land flowing with milk and hon.
ey. How nice that was all of you like
honey, particularly on your buckwheat cakes.
Just think of it-not land where the milk
and honey come like they do here, but land
flowing with them. Just think, in the prom
ised land, what a good time the little boys and
girls must have had. Now let US see how
we'll you remember what have told you.
"Who led out the Israelites %
"Moses," was the prompt reply.
"From where did he lead them ?"
From bondage" answered number of
them.
"Where did he take them ?"
''ro the promised land"
"rhat's right, my little dears-now what
did that land flow with!'
"With honey" said three or four.
"What else?'
Here was stick-no reply.
"Come, children, some of you surely remem-
ber. When you were babies, what did your
mother give you? What else did the prom
ised land flow with ?"
Again blank pause.
II know thir," said FIVE year old, rising
to his feet, and elevating his little hand. 81
know what it was, thir, l know thir."
"What was it, my dear?"
"Why, it was titty, thir."
The questioner collapsed into hymn.

A HARD CAsE.-A lady in the south Of
England made practice of collecting all the
little boys of the parish once year upon her
lawn, and stuf6ng them with beef and plum
pudding. One time toward the close of the
entertainment when she was walking round to
see how all went on, and to ask how they
were satisfied with her bounty, she found the
greater part full and also content. But at
last she came to little fellow, upon whose
plate there was large lump of the third help
ing of pudding, and he was blubbering and
crying as piteously as though he had not had
meal for four-and-twenty hours. "What is
the matter with you, little man." asked the
lady; "has any one dared to ill.use you in my
presence?" The urchin blubbered more des-
peratey than before, and at length faltered
out: II can eat no more pudding" and he
cried more bitterly than before. The lady
patted him on the head, saying, "Do not cry,
my good little man; for ifyou are not able to
eat your pudding, you can put it in your
pocket" A more violent burst followed this
kindly advice, and at the end of it came out
the words, "But my pockets are both full al
ready"
USEFUL ADVICE TO BoYs-To throw
stones-Fold each one carefully in feather
bed, and give good notice to all in the neigh
borhood that you are going to pitch.
To carry gunpowder in the pocket-Soak
it we'll in cold water, then wrap it in yard
of oiled silk.
TO tease cat-Hold the cat close to your
open eyes.
To slide down the bannister-Let surgeon
sit upon the lowest STAIR Also, carry q pail
full Of poultice in each of your hands, as you
may need it.
To poke the fire properly-See that few
red hot Goals are firmly secured to the handle
end of the poker.
To get rid of studying your lessons-Eat a
hot mince pie every night, for one week, be-
fore going to bed.
To keep the face clean-Hold your head
under water until you grow up.
To cure creaky boots-Wear them always
on going to the cake pantry.
TO be polite to sisters-Get their big BROTH
er to introduce you to them.

ming, and as in the fullness of time Jesus was
born, so in the fullness of time, the work which
Jesus came to perform will be finished. To-
day, every sweet has its bitter; but the day
will come when the bitter will be removed
and the sweet made sweeter.
We think we are warranted in concluding
that this earth will not only be redeemed from
the effects of sin, but it will be made by grace
more beautiful and lovely than it was when
it came at first from the creative hand of its
Almighty maker. Jesus Christ bestows upon
man, the lord of this world, more than Adam
by his sin took from it. Man, by nature,
sustains relationship, and holds connec,
ton with everything else in this world which
we at present do not fully understand. His
happiness depends upon the harmony of those
things by which he is surrounded. This con-
ncction is inseparable, and for aught we know,
it will be eternal. Great beyond controversy
will be the change which will take place in
mans physical nature in another state of exls'
tence; but we have no reason to conclude that
any OF those powers Win "hlch lie nolos COLI
nection with other creatures will be destroyed
These capabilities and powers, whatever they
may be, will be purified, strengthened and
elevated The bodies of the resurrected dead
will be spiritual bodies, like the bodies of their
Redeemer. May we not conclude that sim
liar change in nature will take place in the
case of everything in the empire of which
man was originally constituted lord? "Glo.
rious things are spoken of the Zion city OF
our God" Not only will angels shout for
Joy, and redeemed men sing anthems of praise
when this work of salvation is complete; but
the hills will clap their hands for joy. AS
earth to the centre felt the shock when man
fell, so when his salvation is complete, she
will feel the joy.
