LITERATURE FOR YOUTH.

The increase within the past few
years, Of trashy and unwholesome liter
ature for children is something to be
deeply deplored, and yet there seems to
be no legal remedy to prevent IL Peo-
pie, as a class, are too negligent what
their children read, content if they
see them engaged with a book. A
glance at our periodical-stands will
show what kind of literature our youths
are fIttening upon. Thieves, burglars
and prize fighters, are made the heroes
of exciting tales; crime is invested with
halo of romance, and the worst teach
ings of immortality are inculcated. The
weekly sheets that furnish this pernic-
iOus class of reading are filled with illus
trations which appeal to the eve, and are
invitingly displayed in the windows and
on the counters of periodical stores.
There seems to be no way of contesting
the influence thus exerted, except by
furnishing pure and high class ofliter-
ature, especially adapted to the young
and in an equally attractive style. En-
deavors in this line have not been lack
ing, and the results most promising

STRENGTH FOR TO-DAY.

Strength for to-day is all that we need,
As there never will be tomorrow;
For tomorrow will prove to be another
to-day,
With its measures of joy and sorrow.
Then why forecast the trials of life
With such sad and grave persistence,
And watch and wait for crowd of ills
That as yet have no existence.
Strength for to-day-what a precious boon
For the earnest souls who labor,
For the willing hands that minister
To the needy friend or Eeighbor.
Strength for to-day-that the weary hearts
In the battle for right may quail not,
And the eyes bedimmed with bitter tears
In their search for life may fail not
Strength for to-day-On the downhill track,
For the travellers near the valley,
That u, far up, the other side
Ere long they may safely rally.
Strength for today-that our precious
youth
May happily shun temptation,
And build, from the rise TO the set of the
sun
On a strong and sure foundation.
Strength for to-day-In house and home,
Topractice forbearance sweetly;
To scatter kind words and loving deeds,
Still trusting in God completely.

mountainous travail? Public opinion ia
strongly against it and ifany one suffers

CONFESSION OF A THIEF.

My fath5r had been dead month,
when one morning Mr. Maitland, our
family lawyer, one of my fathers oldest
friends, called on me.
"Mr Charles" said he, after we had
shaken hands, I'VE have arranged your
fathers affairs, and found a purchaser
for the estate. hut"
Are all the outlaying debts paid in
full?" interrupted quickly.
They are, but" continued our kind
friend in troubled voice, Il grieve to
say there is hardly anything left for you
and your sister, scarcely a thousand dol
lars
All" he went on, IF you had only
followed my advice. There were among
your fathers debts more than one that
could honestly have been cut down by
one half. Your father had ever an open
hand and generous heart, sir
Il regret nothing that has been done,
Mr. Maitland, and have but one more
question to ask you; when can have
the thousand dollars
Tomorrow, if you wish it."
A few days later my sister Emiine and
1 bade adieu to our once happy home
ours, alas no longer-and departed for
New York.
In spite of my efforts TO bear upagainst
the sudden adversely that had fallen
upon us, the blow nearly overwhelmed
me at first. 1 did not think so much of
myself a man can always make his way
in this world with energy and a strong
will, but was troubled for my dear sis
ter. How should / find the means of
providing for this fragile, delicate girl of
sixteen all the comforts she had hereto
fore enjoyeds When this terrible prob
lem first presented itself to me, 1 fell a
prey for just one moment to utter dis
couraeement and despair. But those of
my race are proud and strong of will,
and | mentally resolved that would
fight the battle of life so bravely that
victory must at last crown my efforts.
Arrived in New York, we took mod
est apartment and furnished it with as
much comfort as our slender resources
would allow. 1 made list of all my faith
eris former friends, resolved to apply to
them one after another until had OBJ
tanned employment. Day after day and
week after week solicited, hoped and
waited. Promises without number, e1-
pressions of interest for myself and my
sister and regret for our bereavement
were lavished upon me. But that was
all. 1t was the old story so well known
to all those whose hard doom condemns
them to solicit aid or succor from their
fellows - promises first then oblivion.
We had now been three months In New
York, when one moring l found that
only five dollars remained in my purse.
Here, then, was the end of all my
dreams. But how to face the cruel reaii-
ty. The winter was approaching, my
sisters pale face was growing paler day
by day, and hacking cough began to

during which had been obliged TO part

ON SCIENCE INSTRUCTION IN GRAM.
MAR SCHOOLS.

What is attempted in Physics? Moth
ing more than to excite attention to the
common phenomena which present
themse YES to the observation of bows
and girls at every turn. To explain some
of the simplest laws that manifest them
selves in the forces of Nature. To study
Mechanics, Hydrostatics, Pneumatics,
Optics, etc, in the Grammar Schools,
two years before the child is ready for
the High School, would seem to be ex-
treme nonsense; and so it would be, if
we meant thereby all that is included in
these terms. But how easy it is for a
boy to make application of his knowl-
edge of proportion in ascertainiug what
weight may be lifted by the aid of Il
lever five feet long, with the fulcrum at
a given point, or to calculate how great
force is necessary to roll barrel of
fiour up an inclined plane rising one
foot IN two. How surely does it provoke
thought to see some of the simple ex-
periments which illustrate the fact that
liquids transmit any applied pressure in
all directions, and to learn that applica-
ton of this law to the hydrostatic press.
How easy and clear the demonstration
that air has weight, how that weight
makes the common pump possibility,
and how it may be measured by the ba-
rometor. 1t is more difficult or less fer
tile of results to learn how that myster-
ious power is generated which carries
our messages over the land and under
the sea with almost the swiftness of
thought than it is to learn and under
stand the rules that govern the use Of
the subjunctive mode?
1t may be said that these things can
be better studied in the High School
than in the Grammar School. But to
one who knows the statistics of educa-
ton in this country such reply wears
the air Of mere mockery. Scarcely one
in four of those who may complete the
rudiments of Physics in the Grammar
ever reaches the High School, and not
one in seven who may commence it.
But again it is declared that it retards
the progress Of the pupils in Reading,
Writing, Arithmetic, Spelling. etc. Sta
tistics proving this to be quite contrary
to the fact, as they do, there is left no
room for doubt as to the wisdom of
teaching Physics in the Common
School.
Nor am willing to rest here. be-
lieve that this kind Of teaching gives to
pupils "an interest in what they are
learning, and a kind of practical char
acter to it, which no other teaching
could give" that to nine -ter,ths of them
it is of greater untility than one-half the
Arithmetic and Grammar learned at
the same age. As a.just conclusion, /
have to say that this department of in
struction demands more encouragement
from the Board of education than it has
received Thorough precision should
be made for the instruction of teachers,
even beyond the limit prescribed for
the classes which they teach, and a suf
ficient set ofapparatus should be placed
in every house where the subject is
taught.-From 7hiry-Nint Report Of

From our Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, d. C. March 5, 1877.
There are few dissatisfied, of course,
with the final award of the Commission
Among those are the revolutionists who
begin to haye clear conception of the
ugly position they elected to occupyand
the little army of reform politicians who
anticipating q Tilden victory, have
crowded our hotels during the past few
weeks, with eyes single to a Federal ap-
pointment. While the last named have
only the pangs of disappointment to
suffer, the former, in addition, the keen
recollection of their perfidious course in
repudiating their mad efforts to precipi-
tate the country into the black abyss of
civil war. 1t is entirely safe to predict
that none of these participated with any
show Of enthusiasm in the inaugural
ceremonies of to-day. Another class
their names is legion-while hopeful,
regard all statements to the effect that
removals from Office will be few, except
for cause, with ill-concealed sentiments
of disapprobation or outspoken condem-
nation. While protesting to have come
hither in accordance with their usual
custom Of spending portion of every
winter a, their Nations Capital, to while
away some of their leisure time, it is
readily seen that they are very, uery
anxious about the distribution ofpatron-
age, and are sturdy advocates of rotation
in office.
Since President Hayes arrival, on
Friday, at 10 A NJ, he has not been ne
elected, nor can he complain of the mig
gardliness of his fellow citizens in the
way of advice. He was met on his arri-
val BY an enthusiastic concourse at the
depot, whose cheers of welcome he
promptly acknowledged by raising his
hat, and bowing his acknowledgements;
but Senator and Gen Sherman captured
him and his psrty, conveying them to
the residence, Of the former. After
breakfast, with Senator Sherman and
some personal friends, he called on
President Grant, and subsequently went
to the Capitol, holding an impromptu
reception in the Vice Presidents room.
Nearly every Senator, Republican and
Democratic, was introduced, and also
Representatives of bota political parties.
Two hours were consumed, and the i'm
preston made by the President elect
and Mrs Hayes, was very pleasant one
on all present. Since his arrival, the
house Of Senator Sherman has been be-
sieged by those anxious for an early ac-
quaintance, but many Of them were
turned sorrowfully away without ac
complishing their purpose. Only few
years residence at the Nations Capital is
requisite to appreciate the insineerity
and heartlessness underlying fashionable
life here, and the facility with which
many of its deyotees have transferred
their allegiance from Mrs Grant and
the ladies of the out going Cabinet whom
they assiduously curted, to Mrs Hayes,
is so thoroughly inconsistent with the
protestations of eight years duration,
that my proposition needs no further
proofto establish its correctness
