The Infant Terrible,

A little child was asked, "Where do
you live 2" Turning to its mother, who
stood near by, the. little one said,
Where mother is, there is where l
live.n
A beautiful answer was given by a
little Scotch girl. When her class was
examined, she replied to the question,
"What is patience ?" "Wait a,wee, and
dinna weary"
A little boy just beginning to talk,
had been given piece of candy by his
father, and was enjoying it. His moth

said, ''Give it to mammal" Turning
slowly away, there came back from be-
tween the nearly closed teeth, "Mam-

books as tools and Instruments in the
Sunday school. The old practice of
memorizing large portions of Scripture
has, I fear, suffered loss in some quar-
tiers through what is, on the whole, a
gain, the systematic course of the Inter
national Lessons. Many children learn
by heart only the golden text, or the
verses in large print, and so instead of
having whole Psalms, chapters and
books in the treasure-house of memory,
they have, for their pains, only dis
connected set of texts which are easily
lost, as lOOsened beads slip from brok-
en- string.
l am sure that if the ordinary care
which is spent on child's secular edu-
cation, as matter of course and of OBJ
legation, were spent Oh its religious in
dOctrination, the next generation would
be better equipped to resist temptation,
and more strongly armed to meet the
trials of life. We cannot be too vigil
liant in the early years. We cannot
begin too soon. While we are looking
at the golden haired darlings as too
young to be taught of God, the enemy
is sowing tares in the virgin soil. We
should pre-empt it in the name of our
Lord Jesus.-Margaret Il. Sangster, in

Household Perils.

So many serious accidents have oc-
Cured in families, and so many narrow
escapes have been experienced in the
use or management of dangerous arti-
eleS OF substances which find their way
into households, that we are led briefly
to point out the nature of the sub
stances, and suggest methods whereby
the dangers may be greatly lessened.
There are two or three volatile liquids
used in families that are particularly
dangerous, and must be employed, if ut
all, with special care. Benzine, ether,
and strong ammonia constitute this
class of agents. The two first named
liquids are employed in cleaning gloves
and other wearing apparel, and remov-
ing oil stains from carpets, curtains,
etc. The liquids are highly volatile,
and flash into vapor as soon as the cork
of the vial containing them is removed.
Their vapOrs are very combustible, and
will inhame at long distances from ig-
nited candles OF gas flames, and cOnse-
quently they never should be used in
the evening when the house is lighted.
Explosions of very dangerous nature
will occur, if the vapOr of these liquids
is permitted to escape into rooms in
considerable quantity. In view of these
facts, cautious housekeepers will not
allow them to be brought into their
dwellings, and this conrse is commend
able.
As regards amJIOnia, or water of am
monia, it is Il very powerful agent,
especially the strong kinds sold by
druggists. An accident in its use has
recently come under our notice, in
which lady lost her life by taking Il
few drops through mistake. Breathing
the gas under certain circumstances
causes serious harm to the lungs and
membranes of the mouth aud nose. 1t
is an agent much used at the present
time for cleaning purposes, and it is uu-
objectionable II prOnsr care IS ;:so.i iu
It's employment. The walls holding it
should be kept apart from Others con-
tanning medicines, etc, and rubber
shoppers to the vials should he used.
Csalic acid is considerably employed
in families for cleaning brass and cop
per utensils. This substance is highly
poisonous, and must be kept aud used
with great caution. In crystalline struc-
tuTe IL closely resem hles sulphate of
magnesia or EPSON salts, aud therefore
frequent mistakes are made and lives
lost. Every agent which goes Into

The Boys.

Last Sabbath afternoon as we were
walking down fremont Street we saw
a group of boys talking together, and
could not but help hear the converse
ton. "Fve read about three murders
lately" said one boy not over nine
years old, and he went on graphically
to depict the thrilling tales. Another
group further on was smOking-no one
of the boys over ten years of age-and
talking of walking matches. And
doubtless these were everyday topics.
Our heart sank as we thought what
citizens these boys were to become;
how poorly fitted for the responsible
ties of the home and the State. A boys
head must necessarily be full of some
kind of knowledge and thought, and
his only salvation is to fill it with use
inl and pure material. Almost all boys
are fond of reading, and while they
might not enjoy Bakers Saints Rest,
they do like the Rollo travels, or single
books on the wonders of nature. The
veriest ra9amutfin on the street loves
TO hear about the stars, what they are,
and for what they were made. We let
the minds of children run to waste, or
weeds, often by our negligence. These
street boys as well as others must be
taught orally. Mission schools held
one day in seven will not do it. Talks
on religion are blessed in their place,
but these are not alone needed. The
Y. NJ. G. A. reaches young men on use
full topics, but who looks after the boys
who are spoiled before they become
young men? a stereopticon entertain
ment for them is one of the needed
things. One boy of eleven has become
most enthusiastic over Il popular course
of geological lectures, and it isn't pos
sible to put geology and murders in the
same niche of the brain. Who will pro-
vide entertainment for the boys, in the
liue of travels, stories, pictures, morals
Cannot the Y. NJ. c. A. add this prima-
ry department to its grand school ?
If statements in the daily papers are
to be relied on, we have another terri
ble illustration of the effect of exciting
and pernicious stories upon the minds
of boys in the case of young Dilling-
ham, the Londonderry, N. H., murder
er, himself now dead also as the result
of shot fired by his own hand.-Con-

The editor of an exchange, who has
probably had some experience, says !:
IF an editor emits anything he is lazy.
If he speaks of things as they are, peo-
pie are mad. If he smoOths down the
rough points, he is bribed. If he calls
things by their proper names, he is un
fit for the position of an editor. If he
does not furnish the readers with jokes,
he is mullet. If he does he is rattle
head-lacking stability. Ifhe condemns
the wrong, he is good fellow but lacks
discretion. If he lets wrongs and in
iuries go unmentioned, he is coward.
If he INDUCES in personalities, he is a
blackguard if he does not, his paper
is dull and insipid.

sculptor of that name, who was recent

Vermont to be placed in statuary hall
in the capitol Washington Letter.
Wells, a young Marion (O.) fellow,

To cleanse black cloths, mix half

a tablespoonful of alcohol. Apply with
a sponge, and, when necessary, use a
nail brush. After cleansing, sponge off
with clear water and hang up to dry.
This is good to restore shiny and rusty
