POLAND committee to sustain
their grossly partial, inconelusive,
illogical report. From the outset
every intelligent, upprejudiced
manin the country saw that it
was the weak product of a cons
mittee who were afraid to do
nothing, but too cowardly to do
right.
From the moment the report

everybody who likes fair play
as a sneaking attempt to satisfy
the demands of an outraged pub

goats of Oakes Ames and James
Brooks, while their accomplices,
Bingham, Garfield, Kelly, and
the rest, were sent homo to their
constituents enveloped in a
smooth coating of Congressional
whitewash. All lovers of honest.

and instantly stigmatized it as a

committee which had underta-

" Hungry ana We Fed Me-"

Breakfast was Just over at Mrs Holmes
when little lad with a pinched face called
around at the kitchen door to borrow q
flat-iron."
"Como 10, jamie said Mrs. Holmes,
cheerly, setting a chair close by the stove
"How cold you are, child Put up your

from the shining silver cup which almost

Then Mrs. Holmes put on another cake
aud busted herself about her kitchen, so
jamie might feel no restraint. She baked
them as long as his appetite held out, and
little Jamie trudged home through the
snow with a feeling Of comfort he did not
have when be went over the road before.

Anxiety about Children.

Parents, whose prudent care for their
children we would not diminish may inter-
NIT much of the solicitude with which they
are apt unnecessarily to worry themselves
This gratuitous anxiety often, moreover,
defeats its own object. 1t renders the
child, by constantly reminding it of the
risks to safety, unnaturally timid and pre-
vents that calmness of mind and develop
ment Of enimal courage essential for the
prudent avoidance Of and bold resistance to
danger. The overwatched children are no.
toriousy those who are the most constantly
exposing their health and lives to hazard.
They are so accustomed to move at the will
Of another that their own volition loses its
power to a great extent, and becomes hesi-
tating and uncertain. Their muscles ac-
cordingly, act with little precision, aud
render the step faltering and the head iuse-
cure The child who is left free to run,
climb and jump, though he may apparent
ly expose himself to thousand risks, gen
orally escapes danger by his habituta read
iness of expedient and practiced precision
Of movement. The freer children have,
hioiSofNii thS "u'ah'dBoVi lioNcSttuB Nho"-
selves by various means Of security denied
to those kept under too close a supervision.
Swimming, riding, running, leaping, using
fire arms--not to speak of wrestling aud
fghting-all of which may in their turn
become important means Of safety, are the
ordinary acquisitions of the emaneipated
boy, but seldom Of him who is subjected to
an unceasiug parental control. 1t is obvi
Gus, too, that the greater freedom of the
one is more favorable TO health than the
constraint of the other. 1t is equally ad-
vantageous to the moral as to the physical
health and development that the parent
should not allow his anxiety about his chill
dren to become too apparent, or to inter
fere too much with their freedom Of con.
duct. The self reliance and independence
of character which are essential elemonts
of all human excellence are to be acquired
only by learning early to act from vounta-
ry motive, If the parent 6xes himself as
a fingerpost at every turn, the child will
hardly ever find the road Of his own accord,
and must necessarily lose his way when de-
prived Of his habitual guide -Harper's
Bazaar.

The Gospel is larger than the unfold
cd soul No man is so low that he may not
grasp the meaning of its essential truths )
and none so exalted in intelligence that he
may not find it suited to all his powers.
Not only this. There is no man, though
he become superangelic in his power Of
thought, who shall not find that the Gospe.
is larger than his thoughts, is equal to his
expanded capacities and to all the possibil-
tiles of thier infinite growth. And this is
why Christianity is at the heart Of our mod
ern civilization, There is nothing pyssiblC
to human thought that is not enlarged and
light Of the Gospel. Whatever may be the
changes in society, Christianity is up tC
them, prepared for them, and equal to al
