A negro preacher elaborated new
theory of the Exodus, to wit, that the Red
Sea was frozen over, and so afforded the
Israelites safe passage; but when Pha-

AFFECTION IN BIRD LIFE.-The fidelity
and atfectionate intimacy of married bird
life appears most conspicuously in pairs of
the Grosbeak family and in small parrots.
Here is perfect harmony of will and deed.
The two sweethearts appear unwilling to
leave one another's company for moment
all their life; they do everything together
eating and drinking, bathing, and dress
ing of feathers, sleeping and waking.
Various degrees of affection and harmony
are discernablo on close observation.
Among the small grosbeaks, pairs of which
sit together, the intimate relation is never
disturbed; even over the feeding emp there
isno quarelling. They stand highest in

Tn-IIORROW.

The setting sun, whose dying beam,
Had walked the purple hills to fire;
And citadel and dome and spire
Where glded by the far-Off CLEAN.
An | in and out dalk pine trees crept
Full mauy n slender line of gold;
Gold notices athwart the river swept,
And kissed il AS it onward rolled.
And sunlight fingered, 10th to go.
All, we'll ii causeth sorrow
70 part from those we love below,
And yet the sun as bright shall glow
Tomorrow.
The tide was ebbng on the strand,
And STOPPING low its silver crest,
The crimson sea-weed, lay at rest
Upon the ambCr-ribbed sand.
Dasl'd DER the rocks and on the shore,
Flung parting wrcaths of pearly spray,
Then fed away. Yet turned once more
And sent sigh across the bay,
AS though it could not bear to go.
All, WE'LL it causeIh sorrow
To part with those we love below,
Yet ththerward the tide shall flow
Tomorrow.
Two hearts have met to say farewell,
At even when the sun went down;
Each lile-sOund from the busy town
Smote sadly as a passing bell,
One whispered, Parting is sweet pain,
At morn and eve returns the tide"
"Nay, parting rends the heart in twain, >"
And still they fingered side by side
And still they fingered, 10th to go.
All, well it causeth sorrow
To pant from those we love below,
For shall we eyer meet or no

Mr.. Gladstone presided ut the formal
opening of the CaXton exhibition at South
Kensington on the 30th of June, and at
the close of an eloquent address on the
history and progress of the ant of print

That is very commonplace, why bring it

that the materials of this book sixteen
hours ago did not exist; it was not bound;
it was not folded; it was not printed.
Since the clock struck twelve last night ut
the University Press in Oxford the people
there have printed and sent us this book.
They have sent several copies, one of
which will be presented to the Emperor of
Brazil, to be distributed here in the midst
of your festival. That shows what can be

The WISDOM OF LOVING GoD.-Let us
see how the Lord Himself, in the gospel,
has taught us to live; and how, too, Paul
the apostle. Let us hear, O Christ, what
Thou dost prescribe to us; and that is
evidently the chief end after which we
are to strive with supreme affection. Thou
shalt love" He says, "the Lord thy God. ."
Tell me also, | pray Thee, what must be
the measure of love; for fear lest the de-
sire kindled in my heart should either eX-
ceed or come short in fervor. " With all
thy heart. lie says. Nor is that enough
yet. " With all thy mind" What do
you wish more? might, perhaps, wish
more, if | could see the possibility of
more, What does Paul say on this? 1--WE
know that all things issue in good to
them that love God" We have heard,
then, what and how much we must love
this we must strive after, and to this we
must refer all our plans. The perfection

Deacon Rathfel had some trouble lately
with Il worldly individual who continually
imposed upon him. At last he took the
matter into his own hands and administer
ed Il rebuke which the worldly man will
not soon forget. The deacon was remon-
strated with by some of the brethren, who
affirmed that he should have been more
forbearing and submissive, and thus heap
Goals of fire." etc. Well brethren, said
the deacon. II know the Bible advises
peace, and try to obey its teaching, and
if man strikes me on one cheek, I'll turn
the other to him; but if he hits me there,
then let him look out" The brethren
wondered where the deacon got his philos-
ophy, but did not attempt to eXpostulatc

THAT BARREL OF SALT.-One of the
firm who run a commission house on
Woodbridge street is n man of muscle.
He can lift u barrel of flour rs easily as
common man lifts bag of oats, and it
scarcely makes his ears 60 red as he
hGaves II barrel of salt into farmers
wagon. For weeks past he has been
boastng of the strength of muscle, and
wanting to see something he couldn't lift.
and the boys around the store got their
heads together the other day. They took
IL salt barrel and filled it with broken pig
iron, old weights and other things, put the
head back and rolled it to the curbstone;
and at favorable hour II dray hacked up
in the most innocent manner, and an order
from grocer for II barrel of salt was
handed out. The drayman and two of the
boys fooled around the barrel so long that
the strong man got out of his chair in dis
gust, threw off his coat and said:
You fellows had better get porous plas-
ters for your backs. Get out of the way
and give me chancem
lie seized the barrel by the chimes and
lifted away. 1t didn't move. lie spit on
his hands and laid out to pull the hoops
right off. The hoops stayed right there,
SO did the barrel.
" 1t takes four good men to lift one o
them barrels" said the drayman.
Nonsense! I've lifted score of them,
and I'll pick this up or break my back. l
guess the salt must be wet"
lie got in position, drew long breath,
and then lifted till his eyes looked like two
towels left on the cothcs-line in dark
night. The barrel didn't lift Pig-iron
was too much for muscle, and the litter
sat down on the walk. His back used to
be plump up and down, but it hasn't been
since that lift. His eyes are getting back
to their original positions, and the red is
leaving the back of his neck, and he sees
two men handle bag of dried apples or

product of entirely one day, perhaps you
will allow statement of facts as nearly
as possible. The history of printing GER
tainly is written in the printing of the
Bible, as may be seen in the consecutive
collection at the Caxton exhibition got to-
gether by Mr.. Henry Stevens, +. S. A., of
Vermont. This gentleman, taking as his
text the words of our first English print

idea that the Bible complete could be

and much credit is due to the University of
Oxford, whose press and resources have
been taxed to the utmost, not but that the
same could not have been done by her
majesty's printers in London, and perhaps
with greater facility, the paper and mate
rial being in the metropolis, instead of tif-
ty miles away. Mr.. Stevens applied to
Oxford first, intending, should he fail, to
apply to Cambridge and London, and, in
case of need. to the United States, where
he could command it. Viewed beside the
colossal efforts executed daily by the
Times, which we may say is written,
composed" revised, stereotyped, print
ed, published and disseminated over the
whole kingdom in one day, the University
efforts may lose something, the type of the
OXfore Bible having been composed, read
and prepared previously; but when we set
against this the sending the sheets from

they were folded, gathered, collated, sewn,

SENsITIvE.--Most children are sensitive,
and it is wrong TO wantonly wound their
feelings by censuring them too harshly
for their faults. Time cures great many
things; children outgrow ipfrmilies and
faults. and if right principles of action and
feeling are instilled gently, constantly,
wisely, the results will ultimately appear.
1t is mere cruelty to make the weak points
of II child u source Of teasing and rldicule,
as is often done in schools and families
A mental inlirmty should be treated as ten
derIy us bodily deformity. A quick tenn
per, an irritable or timorOus orteasing dis
position, requires far more tact and judi
cious management than any mere physical
infrmity. When grown 10 maturity. our
sensitive children become the poets. musi-
clans, artists, writers, leaders of theil
times. Help them, too, with their tasks
which to many of them seem hopeless
Definitions are hard to remember; the ge
ography lesson is difficult to comprehend
and won't stay fixed in the mind: history
is dull and dead; arithmetic hopeless
tangle of figures, and grammar more puz
zling than any possible conundrum. The
little folks need help they need cheer and
encouragement, and who should be 81
ready, so willing, so able to give as the
parent?

The Chicago board of education at its
latest semi-monthly meeting had lively
discussion on the adoption Of certain text
books. Six of the thirteen members of
the board present voted against school
geography, partly because of its blending
of religious and scientific instruction, al
though the religious element in the book
consists simply in the acknowledgment of
- directing Providence. A work on book
keeping, not containing any mention OF
the Deity, was adopted without discussion.

aIhere are many persons in this coun-

had quite an extensive experience with
the same for the past eight years. To
sum up the matter, confidently be-
lieve they are the largest milk pro-
ducerS in the world. We have had

and of excellent strains Of blood, and
took the Holsteins at first as mere
experiment. They have, however,
proved SO vastly superior in every re-
spect for our special purposes viz
butter and cheese, over the Short-hOrns
that we have discarded those (the
Short-horns) and given our attention
exclusively to the Holsteins. There is
one prominent feature about the Hol-
stems and most desirable too-the
fact that they yield a large flow of milk
during the e1atare season. Their feed
ing qualities are No. /: they are hardy
and thrifty. [ cannot see why thev
may not become rivals, and formidable
rivals of any Of the other breeds for
the production of beef. We have never
obtained better results from any breed
in feeding than the Holstein.
There was considerable prejudice
among the farmers of this vicinity
against the Holsteins at the time Of
their first introduction here. This has
died away, as they have beheld with
their own eyes the positive merits OF
the breed; and some of their most Bit
ter enemies of yOre are now ready to
accept them as an acquisition. Grades
are becoming plenty among nearly all
our farmers. At present rate of in
