ONE VIEW OF MISSION SCHOOLS.
PUBLISHED BY REQUEST.

"lf | show some earnestness in this mat
ter, said Tim Spencer, "you must forgive
me, for you have told me to speak, and
have been SO besought and badgered that
must tell you just how strongly feel about
it. heard a great deal of good preaching
in the early part of my life. If am not a
good man, have myself to blame for it,
OF late years | haven't been able to own a
seat in any church, and l have stayed at
home. ! have a theory that church ought
to be the house of God, where men and
women of all grades and all circumstances
can meet on an even footing. None but
the Catholics have such a church here, and
I'm not a Catholic. So l and my children
have no place TO go to, and we have our
choice between heathenism and pauperiSm,
and haven t hesitated to choose the former.
\ heather may maintain his self-respect
confirmed and willing pauper, never. Let
man, woman or child once get the i'm
preston that they are to be supported by
people outside of their family-let them be
once willing and greedy to grasp for bene-
factions that will relieve them from want
and work-and they are LOST
~ don't see what that has to do with
mission Schools inteJected Miss Coates.
"Il tell you what it has to do with
them, said Tim. You bring my chill
dren first into direct association with pau
pers. More than half of your schools are
made up of the children of people who
care nothing whatever for the schools, ex-
cept what they can get out of them. The
children are taught at home to select for
their teachers, as far as possible those who
are rich and generous. They even divide
their children among different schools in
order to secure their ends. They send them
to school to get them clothed, and to open
chhnnels of sympathy and benevolerce to
ward themselves. They take advantage of
schemes. They even assume the attitude
of those who grant favor, and they expect
to get some tangible return for it. They
lend their children to you for a consdera-
tion.''
81 am afraid this is partly true" Miss
Coates responded.
True? | know it's true,' said Tim,
land you teachers play directly into their
hands. You don't intend to do it, but you
do it; and you do something worse than
this. You foster the spirit of dependence.
1t is part of the business of your church
to support mission, and it is the policy of
your church to keep it dependent upon you.
You do not even try to develop your mis-
sion into a self,supporting church. You
find your children mainly paupers, and you
keep them so, and once year you march
the whole brood over to your big church
and show them-not as part of the chill
dren of your church, but as a separate and
alien brood, with which the real children
of the church have nothing in common.
You do not attempt to give them any prac-
tical idea of their responsibilities in connec.
ton with Christian work, and when they
leave you they go without a single impulse
to take care of themselves. DR.. j. 6.

A WORD TO BOYS.

What do you think, young friends, of
the hundreds of thousands who are trying
to cheat themselves and others into the
belief that alcoholic drinks are good for
them? Are they not to be pitied and
blamed? Do you want to be one of these
wretched men? If we are to have drunk
arks in the future, some of them are to
come from the boys to whom l am writing;
and l ask you again if you want to be one
of them? Mo- OF course you don't!
Well, l have plan for you that is just
as sure to save you from such fate as the
sun is to rise to- morrow morning. 1t never
failed; it never will fail; it cannot fail; and
l think it is worth knowing Nerer touch
liquor in any .forns That's the plan, and
it is not only worth knowing, but it is
worth putting into practice.
| know you don't drink now, and it
seems to you as if you never would. But
your temptation will come, and it probably
will come in this way:
You will find yourself, some time, with
a number of companions and they will
have bottle of wine on the table. They
will drink, and offer it to you. They will
regard it as a manly practice, and, very
likely, they will look upon you as milksop
if you don't indulge with them. Then
what will you do? Eli? What will you
do? Will you say, "boys, none of that
stuff for me. | know a trick worth half-a-
dozen of that - Or will you take the
glass, with your own common sense pro-
testing, aud your conscience making the
whole draught bitter, and feeling that
you have damaged YOURSELF and then go
off with a hot head and skulking soul that
at once begins to make apologies for itself
just as the soul of Colonel Backus does,
and will keep doing during all his life?

COUSIN WILL.
BY PHILIP MORSE.

| strolled last night in musing mood,
Rejecting on my lonely state;
Till, wearied out at last, | paused
And leaned upon garden gate.
The old moons mellow radiance hung
In golden miSts among the trees,
Faint odors, borne from distant flowers,
Ebbed idly on the evening breeze.
AS thus | Stood absorbed in thought,
pressed against the gate too hard,
1t opened with sudden jerk
| found myself within the yard.
A form came gliding down the walk
Soft arms embraced me, as. perplexed,
| stood one blissful moment, while
a sweet voice soothed my ear; the next
1t rose into a shrek, then sobbed:
so sir, how could you keep so still.
When all the time knor you knew
| thought you were my cousin WILL"
These stars are moons, or rather months;
Just five have fitted since that night,
And two of these have calmly shone
Upon our welded life. 1t quite
Surprises me to think of it.
And she is queenly, tall and fair,
With lustrous eyes, and such a wealth
Of-well we call it auburn hair.
$50 late ~ I've just come from the club
My wife sits SILENT but a light,
Unseen before, turks in her eye.
Once more | muse on that calm night
" hen first she met me at the gate,
And wonder, while her eyes flame still,
If ever |, in days to come,
Shall wish it had been cousin Will.

IS California is rich in anecdotes of
well-known Bohemans. Here is one that
we do not remember to have seen in print
in this region: One Saturday night, Arte-
mus Ward, Charley Webb, Noah Brooks
and their landlord, after dinner at a club
house, lighted their cigars and sat down in
a parlor where there hung fine portrait of
Washington. Artemus began to tell what
he promised would prove funny story,
when Brooks, the landlord and Webb got
up, one after the other, and walked silently
away, whistlng psalm tunes and the like.
Browne looked after them a minute, and
drawing derrnger from his pocket, walked
up to the portrait of Washington, at which
he took deliberate aim, Now look here,
old fellow" said he, sit is generally con-
coded that you are the Father of this
Country, and few have been cruel enough
to nsinuate that you are the father of Gov.
Posey, of Indaua-but we'll let that pass
Now l've started this story, and I'm hanged
if you haven't got to stay here and listen
to it, And there he Stood with the der
ringer pointed at the picture and recited
the story, while everybody about him
laughed till tears came into their eyes.
