The Toys.

My little son, who looked from thoughtful eyes,
And moved and spoke in quiet, grew-up wise,
Having my law the seventh time disobeyed,
struck him, and dismissed
With hard words and unkissed-
His mother, who was patient, being dead.
Then fearing lest his grief should hinder sleep,
I visited his bed;
But found him slumbering deep,
With darkened eyelids, and their lashes yet
From his last sobbing wet.
And 1, with moan,
Kissed away his tears, left others of my own;
For on a table drawn, beside his head,
He had put, within his reach
box of counters, and red-vened stone,
piece of glass; abraded by the beach,
And six seven shells,
bottle with bluebells
And two French copper coins, ranged there will
careful art,
To comfort his sad heart.
So when that night prayed
To God, wept and said
All, when at last we lie with tranced breath,
Not vexing thee in death,
And thou rememberest of what toys
We made our Joys,
How weakly understood
The great commanded good,
Then, fatherly, not less
Than 1 whom thou hast nodded from the clay,
Thou'lt leave thy wrath, and say
81 will be sorry for thy childishness."

USE BETTER THAN SHow-Some time

USE BETTER THAN SHow.-Some time
ago a gentleman went to see friend
who was very fond of show and fine
things, and who, besides other jewels,
was in the habit of wearing ring con-
tanning valuable precious stones. His
friend said to him: my good friend, of
what good are those splendid stones in
the ring on your finger ?"
''None at ALL" replied the gentleman.
"Well, then, Pm better off than you
are, for / have two precious stones,
which are of use to great number of
people, and which gain me more than
forty pounds every year."
The gentleman begged to be allowed
to see these wonderful stones, and his
friend took him to his mill and showed
him the two mill-stones.
| have read somewhere that if the
money spent every year in England in
useless ornaments for people to wear,
were bestowed in having lighthouses
put up all around our shores, there need
be no ship-wrecks upon the coast of
Great English Mag.

The Mountain Sheep.

LESSON FOR BEREAvED PARENTs
After our child's untroubled breath
Up to the Father took its way,
And il our home the shade of death
Like long twilight, haunting, lay,
And friends came round with us to weep
Her little spirits swift remove,
This story of the Alpine sheep
Was told to us by one we love-
They, in the valleys sheltering care,
Soon crop the meadows tender prime,
And when the sod grows brown and bare,
The shepherd strives to make them climb
To airy shelves of pasture green
That hang along the mountain side,
Where grass and flowers together lean,
And down thro' mists the sunbeams slide
But naught can tempt the timid things
That steep and rugged path to try,
Though sweet the shepherd calls and sings,
And scared below the pastures lie,
I'LL in his arms their lambs he takes,
Along the dizzy verge to go;
Then, needless of the riffs and breaks,
They follow on DER rock and snow.
And in those pastures lifted fair,
More dewy soft than lowland mead,
The shepherd drops his tender care,
And sheep and lambs together feed
This parable, by nature breathed,
Blew on me as the south wind free
Der frozen brooks that float unsheathed
From icy thraldom to the sea.
A blissful vision through the night
Would all my happy senses sway,
Of the Good Shepherd on the height
Or climbing up the stony way,
Holding our little lamb asleep,
While, like the murmur OF the sea,
Sounded that voice along the deep,
Saying, "Arise, and follow me-"

There is only one perfect way of cook
ing oats and wheat. For the perfection
of oat food the whole or 1spearled" oat
should be used, as oat-mea, becomes

be soaked ten or twelve hours in four

So long as men drink temperately,
men will drink intemperately, whether
it ought to be otherwise or not. If the
experience of the last century has de-
monstrated anything, it is that total alb
stinence is the only ground on which
any well-wisher of society can stand.
The liquor traffic has been bolstered
up for years, and is strong to-day, sim
ply through influence which is deemed
respectable. 1t must be made Infamous
by the combination of all the respecta-
BILE elements of society against it. 1t
must cease to be respectable to drink
at all. 1t must cease to be respectable
to rent building in which liquors are
sold. There is no practicable middle
ground.-Dr. j. G.. Holland.

MATHEMATICS AND MEDICINE
Among other talk to-day it came out
that whale-ships carry no doctor. The
Captain adds the doctorship to his own
duties. He not only gives medicines,
but sets broken limbs after notions of
his own, or saws them off and sears the
stump when amputation seems best
The captain is provided with a medi-
cine chest, with the medicines number
ed instead of named. A book of di-
rections goes with this. 1t describes
diseases andsymptoms, and says: "Give
teaspoonful of No. once an hour,n
or "Give 10 grains of No. IL every half
hour" etc. One of our sea-captains
came across a skipper in the North Pa
ci6c who was in state of great surprise
and perplexity. Said he: "There's
something rotten about this medicine
