l. From your children's earliest in
fancy, inculcate the necessity of instant
obedience.
2. Unite 1rmness. with gentIeness.
Let your children always understand
that you mean what you say.

less you are quite sure you can give
them what you say.
t. II you tell a little child to do
something, show him how to do it, and

5. Always punish your children for
willfully disobeying you, but never pun
ish them in anger.
6. Never let them perceive that they

ili-temper, wait till they are Calm, and
then gently reason with them On the
IMPROPERLY of their conduct.

AT Lucerne Dnan named Kennel
has just been sentenced to iInprison'
ment for life. He was the lover of a
girl named Marguerite Voglia, and
they were engaged to be married. AT
ter time he transferred his affections
to another person, and determined to
get rid of his first love. He arranged
for meeting in a solitary spot far of
in wood, and when Marguerite arriv-
ed she could see nothing but a large
hole recently dug in the ground. Sud
denly Kennel sprang from behind a
tree, dealt her blow on the head with
q bar of iron, and threw his victim
into the grave which he had prepared.
heaped upon the body, covered the
place with branches OF trees and went
bis way. The girl, however, was onl.
stunned by the blow, and In few
hours regained consciousness, to find
herself buried alive. Working With
the energy of despair she managed to
force the earth away from her head
and then shrieked for help. Luckily q
passer by heard the cry and carried her
to the hospital at Lucerne, where she
died the same day from the effects of
her wound and fright. a. 81

sensation throughout the United States,
and the most imposing honors were
paid to his memory. Judge Marshall
was man of simple manners, quiet,
unobtrusive ways, ,dignitied in carriage,
with face OF uncommon benevOlence,
and frank, generous. manly expression.
Few men ever lived who were more
widely beloved or more deeply regret
ted in death than John Marshall.
In March, 1886, President jackson
appointed Roger B. Taney to the place
made vacant by the death of Marshall
He served with eminent ability until
his death in October, 1864. He was
born in Maryland in 1777, and gradua-
ted at Dickinson College in 1895, COM
ing 10 the Bar in 1899. He was for
many years leading lawyer OF his
State, was elected to various Slate Of
fees, and was Attorney General of the
United States in Jsckson's Cabinet
He was appointed Secretary of the
Treasury by jackson, but the Senate
rejected him. He was also appointed
by Jackson, an Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court, but rejected by the
Senate. Being the personal and polit-
ical friend of Gen. Jackson he was for
a time an object of great animOsty to
his political opponents. The Dred
Scott decision brought upon him the
general disspproval of the people of
the North, and 10 great extent iDjur-
ed his fame as a jurist and lawyer. In
person he was tall, thin, angular in
frame, with face sallow and wrink-
led, and q large head covered with a
mass of flowing hair. His manners
we're courtly, and as presiding officer
OF the Court he was noted for his kind
ness and courtesy to all the lawyers at
the Bar.
In December, 1864, Abraham Lin
coin nominated Salmon P. Chase, of
Ohio, as TsBey's successor. He was
confirmed by the Senate unanimously,
and entered upon the discharge of bis
duties. Mr.. Chase was born in New
Hampshire and graduated at Dart
mouth College, in 1926. He removed
to Cincinnati, where he won a distin-
guished position as a lawyer. He was
a pioneer in the anti-slavery cause, and
his writings on that subject early at
tracted grave attention of the public.
He was twice elected Governor of Ohio,
was twice Senator in Congress, and
was Secretary of the Treasury under
Lincoln. His splendid services as Sec
retsry of the Treasury are still fresh in
the minds of the people. As Chief
Justice he served with eminent ability
and unwearied industry, and his Opi1-
ions given upon the Bench rank
among the ablest in the history of the
Court. He died while on a visit at
New York. in May, 1873.
Mr.. Chase was succeeded by Morri-
son R. Waite, of Ohio, the present Chief
Justice, who was nominated by Presi-
dent Grant and confirmed by the Sen
ate January, 1874.

ChrisI's Rule of Revenge, and
that of COnfucius

"But l say unto you, love iyour en-
emies do good to them that hate you
and pray for them that despitefully use
you aud persecute you" This is the
golden saying of the Prince OF Peace.
"Thou shalt not live under the same
heaven with the murdered of thy faith
er or thy MASTER" says Confucius the
teacher of four hundred millions oi
men. So likewise taught Moses the
law w'giver of the Hebrews. "TbOu shalt
love thy neighbor and hate thine
enemy" IAN eye for an eye and 3
tooth for tooth.''
Blood and iron, hatred and revenge
to ones enemy, taught Moses and Con-
fucius forgiveness and mercy taught
Christ the son of God.
Yet in Japan, where texts from Con-
fucius' writings are inscribed on wall
and silken scroll, and book and cup,
and cut into the steel Of sword blades,
there were no cities of refuge, as in the
old Hebrew commonWealths. The
murderer, if not instantly killed, was
pursued aud hunted down until slain.
If the children of the dead man were
but infants, the duty of revenge was
taught them at the breast. Kataki'
Uchi vengeance on the murderer) was
the daily theme for years; while all the
time from the age of ten the boy prac
ticed workmanship and spear exer'
else. At eighteen he sailed forth in
disguise. but with girded sword, to
stain his bright blade in the murderer's
blood.
II the children were girls, they too
were trsined for the supreme duty of
revenge. They were taught to handle
the spear, and the sickle and chain
which skillfully thrown around an en-
emy's neck would sever the jugular
vein. Or they practiced shuriken
throwing fat pieces OF steel sharpened
at one end like arrow heads) to put the
eyes out and penetrate to the brain.

Poetry.
In the Barn.


o Jack are you up in the hay loft9
Pun coming up there, too,
I'm tired Of being lady,
I'd rather have fun with you;
There's company in the parlor,
And mamma whispered to me,
''Now, do be lady, Pussy,
And see how good you can be-"
But Jack, it was really dreadful
/ couldn't sit still you know,
And mosi likely the company wondered
To see me fidgeting so.
But heard you laughing snd shouting,
And knew you were having fun,
And looke al the clock and wondered
How soon her call would be done.
But while they are busy talking,
And didn't remember me,
l just slipped out as ssftly;
And here am you see.
o Jack, it is awful Jolly
Not to be grown up folks;
They never have fun in the hay-loft,
Laughing and telling jokes
They can't 60 hunting for hens eggs,
Or swing on the old barn door,
Or climb this steep old ladder,
ANU uo ~ lhS AOOl-
To sit in a char is horrid,
To sit on a beam is fun,
And De don't care if we're sunburned,
We aren't afraid of the sup.
Just fancy mamma and sister
Rolling about in the hay
1t makes me laugh-because surely
Their ''trains" would be in the way.
| heard papa call me ''Tom-boy;"
I'd rather be that, l declare,
Than to sit for another hour
So still in parlor chair.
Just think of the time l wasted,
Where might have been with you,
And it may be another half hour
before her visit is through.
l am sorry for mamma and sister,
Long dresses, long manners and all
And Jack, III be sorrier still, dear,
When you and "Pussie" grow tall.

Jennie Smith has been telling the
Green Street Methodist congregation,
Philadelphia, that she was cured of q
chronic spinal disease by a miracle.
She was bedridden for sixteen years.
A few months ago, when she was in
the homeopathic Hospital, she asked
DR.. John @. Morgan to pray with ner,
as she felt that she was going to sit up.
He did so, and in few minutes after
ward she sat up in her chair. This was
after all trials 10 bolster her up by
means of pillows and hands had failed.
From this time she began to have a
strong belief that she would be able to
walk again, and at length she appoint
ed certain time for miraculous cure.
Some of her friends were invited. To
Others she wrote asking them to offer
up specific prayer on her behalf on that
day. After waiting until nearly mid
night, she asked two persons to take
her by the arms, as she felt that the
time had come. They complied, and,
with barely any effort on their part,
she rose to her feet and walked. Since
that time she has had complete use Of
her leg Dr.. Morgan declares the truth
of her story
