the parents of these babies are not very

We pity these over.sensitive little bits Of
humanity knowing only too we'll by expe.
rience that every sudden or unusual sight or
sound will send thrill through their whole
beings equal to shock from an electric
battery. Such little ones whose lives are
all smiles or tears, should be dealt with very
tenderly-kept from all excitement, nour-
ished with strengthening but easily digestible
food, and induced to sleep as much as posi-.
BILE, for such children seem to live SO much
faster than stupid ones, they require more
rest.
The physical systems Of such little ones
need especial care, lest they become too frail
a tenement for the struggling, inpatient soul
within.
We think the milk from a carefully fed
family COW is more conducive to quietuess
than the sustenance derived from a nervous
mother, which must necessarily be effected
BY i'll health, improper diet and WEAKNESS

THE UNwIsE REBUKE.
by MATTE LAWRENCE.


1t was a pretty picture, the snug little
white farmhouse with its green blinds; its
broad veranda over which the woodbine and
morning glories twined their tendrils and
seemed to vie with each other in their luxu-
RANT growth, and forming a beautiful cur
tain across its whole length. except where
they had been carefully trained back, leaving
a doorway through the network Of living

with its buds and blossoms. where the birds
caroled their sweet songs AS they hoped
from bough to bough, or darted swiftly away
to the grand old naples that had 30 long
spread their protecting branches AFRO und this
pleasant home.
There was no lack Of neatness or taste in
the surroundings of Deacon Samuel Browns
home. The yard with its lilaes, its roses and
honeysuckles, its nicely graveled walk with
its border Of gray stones. and its tidy white
fence, all bore witness of It's owners taste
and care. No loose boards clattered In the
wind on his well-kept barns, no doors of the
hinges no gates propped up, no fence lean

And no portals
For tired mortals

While he wstcheth, turneth sadly.
Signing, mot for me,"
So my spirit, longing, G|L Gill;
Can but see
Marbled mountains,
Frozen fountains
And unopened gates
And, with signing,
