Let Them Work.

There never was truer axiom uttered
than that which couples Satan's name
with idle hands and parents who have
boys to bring up should never forget
this. A great many boys are mischiey-
Gus and vicious simply becuse their ac-
tivities are not directed in proper chan
nels, and for this their parents are the
only ones to blame. The boy who has
a sgd, possibly of his own making, and
a pocket knife, who has skates for the
winter and kites for the summer, WHO
has his own garden patch and garden
tools, his own juvenile library of such
books us he loves, his favorite pet ami
mails, is almost sure to be industrious,
happy and free from vice. If he shows
an aptitude for drawing, pencils and
drawing paper should be supplied ; If
painting, q box of colors should be fur
nished if for type-setting, he should
have miniature printing press and,
in one way-in fact, many ways-his
capabilities should be so cultivated that
he will never be at loss how to employ
his time pleasantly and proftably. In
furnishing your boys with wisely-se-
lected stock of tools, you confer upon
them benefit which is incalcuiable.

stances are trifing compared with the
benefits TO be derived from the constant

to make useful men; knowledge never

SOMETIMES.

Sometimes, when all LIES lessons have beel.
And sun and stars forevernnore have set,
The things which our weak judgments here have
The things DER which we grieved with lashes
wet
viii flash before us, out of life's dark night,
AS stars shine most in deepest tints OF blue,
And we shall see how ali Gods plans right,
And how, what seemed reproof, was love most
true.
And we shall see, how while we frown aud sigh,
Gods plans go best for you and me;
How when we called, He needed not cry,
Because his wisdom to the end could see,
And cen prudent parents disailowed
Too much Of sweet TO craving babyhoods
So God, perhaps, is keeping from rs now
Lies sweetest things, because It seemeth good
And if sometimes, conmingled with LIES wine,
We find the wormwC cd and rebel and shrink,
Be sure a wiser hand than yours or mine,
Pours out this portion for our lips TO drink
And if some friend we love is living low
Where human kisses cannot reach his face,
Oh, do not blame the loving Father so,
But wear your SORROWS with obedient grace.
And you shall shortly know that heightened breath
l. not the sweetest gift God sends his friends,
And that sometime the sable pail Of death
COuceals the fairest boon HIS love can send,
II could push ajar the gates OF life,
And stand within, and all Gods workings see
We could interpret all his doubt and strife
And for each mystery could ind key
But not to-day Then be content, poor heart;
Gods plans, Ike lilies, pure and white, unfold
We must not tear the close-shut leaves apart
Tune will reveal the calyxes Of gold,
And # through patient ton we reach the iaAu
Where tired feet with sandals loOsed, nlSy rest,
When we shall clearly know and understand
I think that will say. &" God knew the best"

Yoltaire and His Early Love.

The browning event in VOltaire's life
as lover was the sequel to the romance
of AurOre de Livry. More than sixty
years had elapsed since he had seen her.
She was now over 80 years of age, a
widow, and the only one of his loves
still living. He wrote to her. asking if
she would receive him. The reply
being in the affirmative, he went. A
Suisse in uniform, as gorgeous as upon
the former occasion when Voltaire was
refused admittance, now led him
through the magnificent entrance of the
mansion, and usbered him, breathless
with fatigue and emotion, into the pres
ence of the marquis de Gouvernet. For
moment they stood before each other
when Voitaire lifted the hand in his to
