The Answered Prayer. .


ny JULIA T. LISTHrcUM.
Little Julia and Phebe were full Of gIec,
Aud happy as children could worry well bcJ
For they he'd come, with permission 70 stay,
AT dear grandmama's al the day.
Now. what can we dor" the little siri. erir1
wed like 10 have some Jolly fni--
Doing something we never before hGvo dcne."
SO grandmama said "How would II be
To take little stove 10 the chestnut tree;
There mako fire enough 10 roast
The nuts OF which you often boastr'
The children Jumped, they were 50 GIL,
For this was sport they'd never had.
And since, sor safety, II wns best
Rejoiced In woolen they were dressed
Away to barn they few in haste,
Eager no more time To waste;
Found little stove-and though quite hcavy,
10 carry II between them, were very ready.
They reached the field, wherein they could &c,
The Shndow Of big chestnut tree:
And knew, In plenty, all around,
sweet nuts they'd find upon tho ground.
But there was tho fence. wha, should ,hey dos
The stove they never could slip through,
And az for lifting q over, why,
They never could II they should Try.
Said Julia, "rvo heard my auntie say
70 ~ what they want people must Pnyl
And get them answered same as theln"
With folded hands and upturned fscc
And their childish voices, pure and swcet
uttered the words that repeat:
Nov lay me down To sleep,
pray the lord my soul TO keep,
II should die before wake.
fpray the Lord my soul TO take"
Finished their prayer, they rose from ne sreunA,
Expecting TO see the stove give bound
Right oyer tho fence, without more ado,
And walt till they could climb over too.
Il did not move the length Of pin,
But see, hero comes Negro Jim;
'Bress my stars, what's der rowl
Can ole jim sarye little missiles nowr
Put stove ober fence-I specs can;
Ob all de darkies Tss Just der man.
Dar now; It's oil der oddcr side,
And ole Jim's strength not half tried.-
With many thanks, ON the girls went
Their minds on play now all intent
Enjoyed the novelty Of stove and fire,
Win roasting nuts 70 their hearts desire
But when the evening hour drew near.
They hastened 10 grnndmama dear.
And Told her Low God would not do
The simple avor they asked Him TO-"
They never thought they had not made
The right request In the prayer they prayed,
They only knew that In their need
They turned to God His aid TO plead.
And he gave IT," grandmama replied.
Drawing tho children TO her side;
For kind old Jim, who came TO you,
was sent our fnthers will 70 do"
And 80 II Is all through life
We must have faith 70 win the strife:
heart ofloyc and reverence made
childlike trust to nsk Gods aid. s..

Froebel's Kindergarten.
Editor Of the Corner,

Editor Of The Corner:
From the article Of "Froebelina," Of Deccm-
ber 81, and from other articles published from
time to time upon tho merits of Kindergar-
tens 1t must bo evident that many Of their
professed friends and advocates, as we'll a.
their enemies, have very imperfect or errone-
Gus views Of them. Whatever may have been
the real motives Of Froebel in deyisng his
system Of child-training, / believe II can bs
fairly shown that many Of his fundamental
principles are correct.
Some Of his friends and advocates may claim
too much for his system. and even more than
he claimed, and thereby some may be led to
denonnce II.
Let me call attention to some of Its merits,
and some Of its demerits.
First. II claims to train and educate child
ren, " their triune character, Of body, mind,
and soul and not Of one Of these alone.
| Again, 1t claims to train the hand. the eye,
the muscles, and all the physical senses In such
| way rs to begin preparation for some Of
the necessary employnents of after life.
Again, 1t claims to train and control the in
tellectual and moral being Of children by ap-
pealing to their highest and noblest nature.
II these claims are realized in Froebel's sys-
TEN, they must meet tho approval Of all rea-
sonable persons. No one can deny that the
three essential parts OF our being should bo
trained and developed together, but we all
know that our common schools do not secure
this training.
Let US, then, give due credit to q system
which claims to do such q good work, Just 90
far as 1t really accomplishes this work but let
| us reject any elements which may not accord
with the natural and Divine plan Of human
culture.
But there are some demerits in this system
as advocated and practiced by some Of its fol-
lowers:
| First. II does not furnish the complete
| training so much needed to prepare children
to gain knowledge themselves Our language.
| as written or printed, Is the great storehouss
Of knowledge acquired by others, or beyond
the limits Of actual observation and expert
ence. This language every child can and
should learn to read by the use Of tho eye a.
well rs the ear. Some Of Froebcl's disciples
ignore this training, yet the people Of our
country demand II, and they will have Il,
even IL Kindergartens fall to the ground,
which Is not necessary.
Again Kindergarten training, however per-
fectly carried out, can never be made substi-
tute for the highest kind Of spiritual and re-
lg,ous training. No human culture can ever
make saint, nor can any human agency
alone ever ronovate our spiritual natures.
Human nature now requires just about the
same kind of culture and training that II did
when the Great Teacher said, Except a man
be born again he cannot see the Kingdom Of
Heaven"
But we very much need q new system Of
training which shall embrace the useful and
unobjectionable elements of the oral objective.
| kindergarten, and industrial methods COM
bined with all there Is In the old methodA
which is worth retaining. -,--.-.-
