Practical mothers learn much by their ex-
perience with the little bodies entrusted to
their care. Some of the most common sense
facts in the physical culture of these little
ones known to the more experienced moth
ers may not come amiss to those who have
had but little care of children. The foun-
dation must be well laid TO ensure healthy
and happy children, The child must be
well slept. well aired well fed, aud well
bathed BY thorough understanding and
practice OF these -four simple rules, much OF
the physical, mental, and moral suffering in
life would be avoided by parent as well as
child. If healthy child-and delicate
one proportionately-i regularly put to bed
about dark in a quiet, wel-ventilated, OF
even cold room, after supper of plain food
it will naturally awake at dayhreak. Nh
trtious, plain food, at regular hours, with
no candy or stimulants, and free bathing
help the system to ward OFF many prevalent
children's ailments, and to bear with mucl
| less danger the few that must necessarily
come to the majority of little ones. Th'
| child that is Just given a little confectiOn
ary, or any unsuitable food, aud then rocket
TO sleep, should cause no surprise at waking
peevish and feverish 1t is simply the re
suit of imaginary affection and want o
knowledge on the part of the one il

to search diligently for the cause when lii

Astounding JOY.

have always thought that we are apt to
dwell too much on the suffering and sorrow
of the lot and mind of Christ Our rever-
ence aud sympathy should be more with his
abounding joy. ! think those who read
with clear eyes and an open mind will see
evidences of an unutterable joy in his words;
may almost think they hear it in his tones
when he promised heaven to disinterested
and earth to the meek, and satisfaction to
the earnest when he welcomed the faith OF
the centurion, and the hope of the penitent
aud the charity of the widow when he fore
saw the incoming OF the Gentiles, aud knew
that heaven and earth should pass away
sooner than his words of life and truth. Th'
sutferings OF the holy can never surely tran
scend their peace and whose fulness OF jo,
can compare with theirs ?-lidrtenedu.

Fenced In.

"Don't believe in ioinin' churches, any
way" said Farmer Rye. as he stood leaning
on the bars of the meadow lot, talking to his
niece Ruthie, who had just come from the
woods with her arms and hands full OF ferns
and mosses, and clematis wreaths. She bad
found time at last 10 speak word to Uncle
Charlie" whom she dearly loved. There
had been earnest prayers before that, you
may be sure, that the kindly, upright, honest
man might not trust to his purity of life,
but find salvation in ChriSts finished atone
ment And she had said Just now: Then,
uncle dear, why don't you stand out on the
Lords side and come into his army 7" Uncle
Charlie tipped up his old hat from behind
as he was wont to do when annoyed; and
leaning his crossed arms OH the fence rail,
looked quite away from the girls earnest
face as he continued "'PeaTs to me, if a
body's got any religion, they ought to be
able to stick to it without ben' tethered up
like wild steer" Ruthie said nothing at
first; then, with a golden maple branch
pointed over to the corner of the wide lawn
in front of the house, which had been newly
redeemed from the wilderness and fenced in
Outside there were briers aud ticks, and
bogs, aud marshy spots. and wandering foot.
paths and thorny bushes. Inside was the
level stretch of redeemed greensward, with
the graded paths that touched at curves and
angles or clumps of evergreens and beds
of roses blooming yet, though autumn had
come "Uncle Charlie, what difference
that fence made, didn't it | think that
poor little strip of laud must be so glad.
Now it feels as though it belongs to some
body, and somebody cares for it; 50 its just
blooming out its gratitude because it has
been redeemed, isn't it ?" Uncle Charlie
looked down at the earnest little face mo-
ment, and said "Trot along, dear; most
tea-time," and Ruthie went home heavy
hearted. But great joy was coming to her
with the next communion season, when, in
his quaint way Uncle Charlie said "Ruthie,
I'm goin' to be fenced in and belong to
somebody" Aud when the cup OF blessing
came it touched his reverent lips, while little
Ruthie was softly giving thanks the while.

to know it, Donald was commanded 10

most gracious reception. Not only did the
Queen purchase of his wares but gave him
permission to wear the royal arms as the
Queens Peddler. and sent Donald away with
lighter heart aud heavier purse than he
had when he entered the royal chamber.
On leaving her Majesty, the Earl of Carlisle
took Donald to his room, and there presented

The sad November wind sang Il mourn

and reyerently, we wandered through the
city of our dead but our steps were aim

known in the past, or i'll whose veins had

tomb,stones that marked the last resting
place OF many wearied sleepers; but most
of all we were attracted by a little mound
on which had been lately placed wreath
of snow-whte autumn flowers; and, step
ping near, we read the touching legend:

pirate lines of good old hymn:
And when hoary hairs shall our temples adorn,
We still in his arms like lambs shall be borne.
Well would it have been with us had WI
