The Lesson of n Life.

In December, 1915. in the Depart
ment OF the Voges, Xavier Thiriat,
boy Of ten accompanied four young
girls of about the same age to the
church, They had to cross a brook,
over which was placed single loose
plank. The boy crossed safely, the
first girl who attempted it, fell in.
The boy jumped in. pulled her out,
and then, walking in the water,
guided each of the girls across.
Some time was lost by this, and the
party reached church late. Xavier,
ashamed OF being late, did not so up
to the stove, but kept behind. He
reached home chilled, a dangerous
disease followed. by which he was
left a comelete cripple for life: his
only mode OF moving about was on
hands and knees, so completely were
his legs paralyzed and disorted.
Coming OF very poor people, there
was every prospect that Thiriat
would be a heavy charge to his family
and and a wretched burden to him.
self. Instead of this, he reached
manhood bright, cheerful and intelli
gent. Reading all the books he could
lay hold OF, he was soon the best edn
Gated man in his district, and ra.1dly
acquired great influence which was al
ways used for good. He induced the
young people TO read and TO study.
Some contributions TO the local news
paper, the Echo des Voges, attracted
attention and made him known, the
result of which was that further intel
lectual opportunities were extended
TO him. He made himself good
botanist, meteorological. instructed
others in these branches. and pro-
cured the foundation of several local
libraries. He could not, however, be
satisfied without achieving his CON-
piete independence and earning his
support. He obtained the position OF
manager OF the telegraph at Il neigh
boring town, was made Secretary to
he Mayor, became a favorite CORES
pendent OF several agricultural pa
pers, and received the highest re-
ward OF the French Franklin Socie-
ty"-its gold medal.
All this was accomplished by ma
tive force OF character and strong re-
ligious feeling, under circumstances
not merely adverse, but at first alb
solutely hopeless. A horrible de
formity. intense suffering. absence of
instruction, crushing porerty-all
these disabilities We're overcome un-
aided. aud this ignorant and crippled
lad made him 'elf thu, light, intellec
tual and moral, OF his whole district.

March.

This is the first month of spring,
and is called by the poets "the
stormy March," "the changing
March," and other names OF a similar
character, because, like an exceed
ingly tickle young woman, the month
cannot make up its mind whether to
be sad or happy. To-day it is
smiling; to morrow weeping; the
next, stormy, like a very scolding
termagant; and the day after, per
haps, it returns to its smiles again,
and is as happy "a sunshine and
bland breezes can make il.
1t Is month, We suppose, that no.

ular. We don't think that Mark
Tapley, with all his love for misery
apd miserable things, could have
fallen in love with flckleness. Mark
might love woman who was always
clustering, or woman who was
always complaining; but woman
who complained one day, rejoiced the
next, scolded the next, and so kept
up this alienation OF passions. would
have even ruffied the temper OF

The Burmese.

The name OF the King OF Burmah
who murdered all the royal Princess
and their families a short time ago
and assumed the despotic powers is
TheeBaw. He was educated by an
English missionary, and it was
thought that when he mounted the
thrown he would reform many abuses,
and be a model monarch. He did
abolish the custom which compelled
all persons, even representatives of
European countries, to remove their
shoes wh"n entering the royal pres
ence, but his reforms seem to have
stopped there, and the next we hear
is that two OF his brothers, dreadinS
assassination, fled to Calcutta, where
they are now pensioners OF the
British Government. They did not
leave any too soon, as they would
probably have been murdered in the
wholesale massacre OF which intelli-
gence was received few days ago
The Burmese are apeople Of few vices
and many virtues, and easily civil
lized. Burmah presents a fine field
for commercial enterprise, aud, per-
haps, when England concludes her
wars in Afghanistan and South Afri
ca, she may step into Burmah, and,
after deposing the butcher who
now occupies the throne. take the
country under her protection. The
presence OF the Kings brothers at
Calcutta may lead the way to such an
undertaking.

The State OF Indiana has a woman's
prison, which the Philadelphia Times
says lis one OF the most admirably
managed institutions in the country"
The superintendent and assistant
superintendent, Mrs. Sarah Smith
and Mrs. Martha N. Coffin, are both
members OF the Society OF Friends.
Some OF the directors are also men,
bers OF this society, as is also the
wife OF Senator Hendricks. These
ladies have demonstrated that such
an institution can be carried on sue
cessfully by ladies', not only as to the
general management, but also as 70

a late report to the Legislature, thus
compliments them: These ladies

Ancient books were originally
boards, or the inner bark OF trees;
bark is still used by some nations, as
are also skins, for which latter parch-
