Teaching ChiIdren Conrnra.

Courage is a vital element of Christian
chivslry. Without it, indeed, neither
truth nor fidelity to promise can be
hoped for. The coward is sure to lie
when truth means punishment, and sure
to retreat from his engagements when
they involve peril. We need valiant
souls that have learned TO endure aud
scorn pain. and to face danger fearlessly
and promptly when duty requires. Some
parents evade this vita. part of training
by CLOSES and deception. A mother who
has taken her boy to the dentist to get
q tooth out will often say, if he is shrink.
ing, Sit still, my boy; it won't hurt
you. Now, she knows it will hurt him,
but thinks if she can only get him by
this device to sit still and let the dentist
get hold of the tooth, then his discovery
of the pain will not hinder, its extraction.
This is a double mistake. It DESTROYS
her boys confidence in her; for he de.
tects her in a lie. And though il gets
the boy this time to sit still, it is under
the delusion that there is to be no pain,
whereas he should be taught to face the
pain and to scorn it. This makes the
difference between the towards and
heroes. A regiment Of poltroons could
march up to a battery as cheerfully as a
regiment Of heroes, if they thought there
was no enemy at the guns. The differ
ence is that heroes know the danger, and
yet face it valisntly.

A specimen of the ophiophagus elaps,
or snake-eating snake, is one of the re.
cent accessions to the London Zoology
cal Garden. BE is over seven feet in
length, and his circumference is about
equal to the thickness of a mans wrist.
His virus is as deadly as that Of the
cobra, and he is a regular athlete among
snakes. his head is very lizard.like
and Misunderstanding, and has an intelli.
geutlooking eye. Like a cobra, he has
a hood which he a expand when
angry, and his body is ornamented with
very pretty stripes. His mode of attack
is peculiar. he glides after you with
the swiftness Of a hawk after a bird, and
when he gets up to his enemy bites him
and retires. On his arrival at the gar.
dens the ophiophagus was treated to a
live English snake, which he instantly
seized and swallowed headforemost. he
Is also said to eat rats, mice aud small
birds
