MAKE RELIGION ATTRACTIVE TO
THE CHILDREN.

The divesting OF the minds Of children Of
a sense OF hardness as belonging to religion
the disabusing them of the thought that it is
something far away the bringing Of God
home to them as something sweet and beauti-
ful and to be desired now, not as something
to be expected when one has grown old, and
has been convicted and has Joined the
church, this is important aud ought to be a
matter of consideration on the part OF parents
and others on whom devolves the duty of re.
ligiously instructing the young. Oh, what
days, aud weeks and months, aud years of
distress should | have been saved if had
had somebody to teach me that Jesus Christ
had a mother-heart, aud say to me, " Now do
by him as you would do by your mother, if
she were alive. You know that your mother
would not cOuntenance anything bad. You
know that she would not allow any meanness
or sel6shness You know that she would
help you away from these things by all
sweetness of love ami care and forbearance
You know that sometimes she would chide,
sometimes caress, aud both to make you
better child. Aud that is Just the way that
the Savior would do. He has great, divine
mother-heart, out Of which comes al! help
that any human being could need II w,

As far as the law can go, religious tolera.
ton is perfect with us The relations Of
citizens to each other and the state never
open the question OF religious convictions
Nevertheless, in society aud in our daily
walk perfect liberation does not yet exist
BY perfect liberation we do not mean ho-
mogenity OF opinion state of society where
AL faiths aud all creeds carry equal weight
to all minds and no man has an opinion Of
his own or distrusts the opinion of others.
But we mean state where difference Of
opinion is no ground for personal warfare,
or even for disrespeet Of neighbor by neigh
Dor; in .short, where persons of opposite
views not only do not feel obliged to be mean
to each other, but do feel obliged to treat
each other with the respect due from man to
man This last condition is as good test
of federation as any. To recur to the famll-
lar illustration, our Puritan iorefathers hung
a woman because she was a Quaker. They
actually felt obliged to commit that heinous
crime for the Lords sake. We have i'm
proved somewhat on this practice, but recog
nize the philosophy. We are not yet thor.
oughly rid of the idea that occasional cir
conventions of the devil by unfair means
and occasional petty meanness toward fellow.
men Of opposite faith are not only not NOR
ally wrong, but even sweet to the Lords pal

Christ not only brought men truth as

DUTY, NOT FEELING. THE GUIDE
OF ACTION.

Of all the inculcations OF our times, none
seems to me more subtle or mischievous in
its practical tendency than that which
says, d" Let feelings guide you. Always speak
and act as you feel, else you are a dissem.
bler--a hypocrite." No counsel could be
more seductive or dangerous than this. Not
feeling, but duty, should guide us. And to
know what duty is, in any given case, we
must take counsel Of the understanding. The
path of duty is not the one in which incina-
ton or feeling always leads Often it is the
very opposite Often we have to resist in
cination and compel ourselves to do the exact
opposite of what our feelings would impel us
to do. And when we thus, from sense Of du-
ty act contrary to the promptings of feeling,
are we insincere2 Must we to escape the
charge Of hypocrisy always give truthful ex.
preston to our feelings by word, tone or
manner, however wrong those feelings may
BET Is it not far wiser and better-better
for ourselves as we'll as for others-to use
the words, tones, aud manners which corre-
spond to what we know our feelings ought to
be? May not this help to beget within us
the very feelings themselves A gentle and
polite manner tends 20 beget the spirit of
gentleness and polteness. Kind words beget
kind feelings Noble actions beget aud foster
a noble spirit And when such manner IS
assumed, such words are spoken, and such
acts performed, merely from a sense of duty,
and because they are the true expression of
a spirit or feeling which we know we ought
to have but do not yet possess are we acting
the part of hypocrites? Why, if everybody
in the community were to speak aud act pre-.
csely as he felt, all social aud commercial
intercourse would shortly cease, aud no police
regulations could be established strong enough
to hold society togetber.-B F. Ban rett.

MY cHILp-LOvE.

How We played among the meadows,
My chlld.love and I,
Chasing summer CLEANS and shadows,
My chld-love and
Wandering in the bOwery lanes,
Making rose-tipped daisy chains
Storing fairy treasure trove,
Tender chestnuts from the grove,
Juicy berries, sweet aud red,
Violets In their leafy bed
Peeping meath the old OAK tree,
All for my ehild-lovo and me-
How we sped the hours together,
My child-love and I.
In the blue unolsuded weather,
My childove and ]
Two gold-heads--ah, one is gray,
One is pillowed cold in clay;
Two bright faces--one Is grave,
One hid where pale the willows wave,
Two laughs--I wot my smiles are few,
do angels sport as mortas do,
Or as we did in days gone by,
We, my sweet child-love and ~
What infant mysteries we had,
My child-love and |
What little things could make us glad,
My child-love and
What fair castles did we build,
Every room so gaily filled
With sun and flowers ever new
! so brave and she 50 true,
Endless pleasures houndless wealth,
Ceaseless Joy and cloudless health,
Naught could change, and naught could die,
So ruled my chiItl-love and l
We we're parted in our youth
My child-love and |,
In our fearless baby truth
My child-love and !.
She in virgin freshness died
! stood weeping at her side.
Turning to the world again,
Gathering many deepening stain.
Other loves their empire held,
Fewer dreams such empire quellcd,
Till far as trackless sea from sea-
Seemed my fair chlld-lovc from me.
Yet twas an ldyl that we had.
My child-love and |,
Ere death dlmmed all It's glory glad,
Ny ehild-love and l.
Though deeper sorrows, deeper pleasures,
Fill for me life's foaming measures,
Yet, iairest mid my hopes and schemes,
Purest of my wandering dreams
L., now when all is past and done
Forfeit paid and pardon won.
In some calm sphere there yet may he

Once a Ussk.
"They enter in, we mark the road
We follow with our eyes aiar,
Like one who watches, rs some cloud
Blots from our view some long-loye star.
Nearer new seems the land unseen.
And nearer, too, the glorious day,
When the thin veil, now drawn between,
Shall vanish into light away.
Meanwhile the little flock remains,
And lsrael's Shepherd keeps the fold
safe, while His arm this earth sustans
Under His shadow Ms Of old
And, one by one, He calls them up.

marking on the chequered existence OF
man upon this earth-how our life ia made
up of an alienation of joy and sorrow,
veal and woe, success and disappointment,
the Holy Father went on to say -
Nevertheless, let us trust in God. You see
how many subjects of bitterness come in
upon us from Italy, from Germany, from
Switzerland, and other kingdoms and pro-
vinces, where SO many men are banding
together to afflict the Church. Now, do
not tell you that all these evils will soon
pass away no not tell you that we are
on the eve of delivcl ance and of triumph /;
but do tell you that God will surely
show Himself, although l know not the
moment when He will work the miracle. -
The Holy Father then dwelt upon the i'm
portance Of the early education of children
in religion and, in reference to the nu-
spoke of the duties of Christian mothers.
Then, going back to the state of Christen
dom, he said =" One of the most noted in :
fidels of the last century recommended
that the last king should be strangled with
the entrails of the last priest. In our day
the infdels do not use this language, but
they are doing their best to turn the words
into facts, and they who call them selves
moderates allow themselves to be led on
wards, and they would put into execution
if Almighty God permitted them. Men
walk resolutely in the paths of inequity
and the clergy are the object OF hatred in
Italy as we'll as in certain countries of the
North of Europe, where the Government is
invading the Office of the Bishops, punish
ing the good and rewarding the wicked,
especially those who cast off the easy yoke
of the Church and voluntarily put on the
letters of a human ruler, who will bear
heavily upon them with his iron hand.''
The Pope then went on to speak of tire
Italian Governments prohibition of the
pilgrimages, under pretence of danger of
cholera infection; contrasting that pre-
tence with the liberty allowed to vast
multitudes in cities to assemble in theatres
where blasphemous and licentious per-
formances were permitted, nay, encouraged
by the Government, ALL" said the au-
gust speaker, is done against God all
is done for the devil" The discourse con-
cluded thus {: exhort you all to practice
courage, firmness, and constancy, oppose
everything that conscience condemns. Lift
up your eyes to heaven implore the Di-
vine succor, and you shall hear a voice
saying " Fear not them acho kill the body
get cannot Kill the soul; but fear, rather
Him ,cho can destroy both soul and body."-

Moralizing on the recent " financial panic
in Wall street, the Nation says: If Roman
or a man of the middle ages had been sudden
ly brought into view of the scene, he would
have concluded, without hesitation, that a
ruthless invader was coming down the island !;
that his advanced guard was momeut arily ex-
pected aud that anybody found by his forces
in possession of Western Union, or Harlem, or
Lake Shore, any other paying stock or
bonds, would be subjected to cruel tortures if
not put to death. For neither Roman nor me-
dinval could understand rich mans being
terrified by anything but armed violence. Sen
eca enumerates, the three great sources of
anxiety in life, the fear of want, of disease
aud of oppression by she powerful If he had
seen Wall street brokers and bankers last week
trying to get rid of stocks aud bonds, he
would, of conrse, have supposed that they
were not poor or feared poverty; he would have
judged from their physical activity that they
were in perfect health, SO he would have been
driven to the conclusion that some barbarian
host commanded by Sitting Bull or Red Cloud,
was entering the city, and was breathing out
threatenings aud slaughter against the own
ers Of personal property" Any one looking
upon it could hardly avoid feeling that a
new plague had been sent among men, that
there was an impalpable, invisible force in the
air, robbing men of their witt, of which phil
osophy has not yet dreamed "-in other words
"puulc."

An English inventor has secured letters
patent for an incombustible paper, and
tire-proof ink. Though the paper is not
regarded as absolutely indestructible by
fire of any degree of tierceness, it is yet
claimed that under such circumstances as
fires in houses, factories, or other buildings,
it is "ordinarily incombustible." The
pulp, which is manufactured in the usual
way, is composed of Vegetable fibre, one
part asbestos, two parts; borax, one
tenth part and alum, two-tenths parts.
These Ingredients, having been previously
ground and finely divided, are brought to
the consistency of pulp by the addition of
water in proper proportion. Not only
can writing paper be thus manufac-
tured, but coarser substance for the bind
ings of books or the inclosing of manu-
scripts. The fire-proof ink can be used
either in writing or printing, and is made
according to the following recipe: Crap
hite, finely ground, twenty-five drachms
copal, or other resinous gum, twelve
grains sulphate of iron, two drachms'
tincture of nut gals, two drachms and
sulphate of indigo, eight drachms. These
substances are thoroughly mixed and
boiled in water, and the ink thus obtained
is said to be both fre-proof and insoluble
in water. When any other color but
black is desired, the graphite is replaced
by an earthly mineral pigment of the de-
sired colcr.

A writer in Our Monthly has evidently been
inside composing room if he has not "dug a
living OUT of "A case" He thus sums up the
result of his experience:
Working for forty editors and scores of
authors, every one OF whom is AZ sensitive as
q sore thumb, aud lively aud interesting as
a hornet, no wonder that printers die young,
and only pachy derpatons, grizzly, mulish spe-
cimens get their share of life:
Happy infants, early blest!
Rest in peaceful slumber, rest:
Rescued from the thumps. and jeers,
Which Increase with growing years.
The writer wishes he could offer himself
an awful example of the perils which environ
the man who NEEDLES with cold-type. A
thoroughly trained printer should have had u
stepmUJher and then q stepfathcr, aud then
have been bound ont to a tanner, aud then
have married scolding wife and lived in a
smoky house, and then have had .. family of
babies who were affl cted with the collie. He
should have added to all this discipline
thorough knowledge OF science, art. law, Ian
guages, theology, history and biography. II.
in addition, he hes q Nicious-lookiDg counten-
ance and smiable disposition, he may stand
some chance with those authors and editors
but the probabilities are, after all, they will
worry him to death"
