For the Vermont Watchn
Composition.

If we may judge by the long faces and the
wry faces, the twisting shoulders and the
shaking heads, the moving feet and the in
dignant eyes, we should think teacher had
condemned her pupils to some terrible tor
ture but, no, she has only remarked pleas
antly, that she should expect them to write
compositions. Is that such fearful ordeal
Surely they think so, or they would not be-
have in such ridiculous manner. Ever
since they were the youngest children in
school they have seen older ones act so and
go scolding from the building, and they
really think it is the only proper behavior
for such an undesred occasion. Isn't it pos
sible to teach them better? If they were
instructed how to commence letter, and
helped little to arrange their thoughts con-
cerning questions and items of news, and
then told how to finish it, perhaps they
would write a composition and take pleasure
in doing the formerly dreaded work. When
ready for the next step, teach the pupils to
describe something. Take several Objects
oOilc VI arc III oiSut, othOio
but out of sight; question them till you have
a good description, then give them other
subjects or let them observe for themselves,
and they will be very likely to enjoy their
task. 1t hardly seems as if there was more
need of young students disliking to write
compositions than to learn and recite any of
their lessons. If they are led into it step by
step, they will hardly know they are writing
the dreadful compositions. When this ter
ror is so overcome that those too small to en-
gage in the writing see only pleasant looks,
and hear none but pleasant words connected
with the exercise, they will enter upon the
task, when they are of proper age, without
any fearful dread and composition day be
come one of the pleasantest days in the
week. Happy is the teacher who thus
draws her pupils out of troubles into bene-
fits. They have made good progress when
they have learned TO properly arrange their
tnougnts upon any easy subject aud place
them neatly upon paper. +.

Ashamed of Christ.

Ashamed of Christ of him who has re-
deemed mans nature from wretchedness,
and first given to the race "a security of i'm
mortality-an interest in an eternal world
Ashamed of him who is the "express i'm
age" of God; "in whom dwelleth all the
goodness of the Godhead bodily; !" "by
whom all the worlds were created" and who
still sustains the worlds from annihilation
by the power of his might Ashamed of
Christ of him who was not ashamed to en-
dure all the btterest mockeries OF sinners
for my sake; for my sake to exile himself
for long years from the immediate glores of
heaven for my sake to wander among the
lost and ruined of the earth, and still for my
sake to close life of sorrow by death OF
bodily and mental torture Ashamed of
Christ of him who raised triumphant from
the grave, and though no fleshly eye can be-
hold him, even now sitteth at the right hand
of God, " in the glory of the Father" yet
amid all his glories pleads for my sake the
obedience of Gsthsemaue and the sacrifice
of Calvary o, may many of us
be enabled to return such an answer as this
to the calumnies and revilings of the world
Happy are they, and yet more happy in all
that outward unhappiness which fortifes
them more and more for everlasting bliss |
Happy, indeed are they who thus live, con-
fiding, that however it may be delayed, a
time shall come when the truth of that Scrip
ture shall be proved "Bshold lay in Zion
stumbling-stone and rock of offence !;
and whosoever believeth on him shall not be
ashamed" (Isaiah viii II, Romans tx 33.

California Homes.

"The saddest phase of this coast" says
the Virginia (Nevada) Enterprise, "proba-
bly, of all gold and silver mining regions, is
the absence of homes. We mean real homes,
whose founder laid the first bearthstone and
made the first clearing with the thought that
Oh that spot he was to do his life's work,
and there at last, amid familiar scenes, sink
into that sleep that is final. The absence
of this disposition has made nomads Of the
men of this coast. They came here orig-
nally with the thought that in little while
they would return and make the home of
their future in the lands of their birth.
Gould tho dir castles which have been erected
in thought by men on this coast, while lying
in hunks in rude cabins, or in blankets
around camp-fires, be woven into picture,
what city it would make But the years
have stolen by; except in isolated cases, the
bewitching dreams have never been realized,
and while the hoped-for homes were never
builded back in the land of childhood,
neither, alas, have they been builded here.
We do not mean to say that there are not
plenty of families living in what they call
homes. But those who have homes which
were created with the expectation that they
would be permanent, that in and about them
were to be boarded the gathered treasures
of lifetime, are very few. This might,
perhaps. be expected here in the desert, but
the same is true of California, especially in
the country. As arule, the farm-houses of
California and their surroundings are per
petual sign of For sale On many of those
farms men and families have lived for a
quarter of a century, and still it has never
been home in any rightful sense of the
word. There has never been time that
the husband and father has not intended to
sell out in the course of few months, and
never time that the family has not hoped
he would"

How shall we get the most out Of the rare
days comingr In the FIRST place by think
ing more about them. There is only one
June in year, and the graceless calendar
makers clipped one day from that,-a rob-
berry which we can only condone by reflect
ing that they cut two or three off from Feb
ruary. Not day of June should pass with
out feeling of appreciation. Rain or shine,
cloudy or clear, hot or heavenly mild
day-dawn, high noon, or beneath the starry
splendor of her nights-there is not an hour
one would wish to miss. What sunrises are
hers-where they can be seen, as we remem-
ber them in the country The sun never
rises in a city. 1t simply grows light, after
the lamps are out. June in the city is only
the time when people begin to put up mos
quito bars and window screens fret about
the hot weather, move into the back part of
the houses and make believe they have gone
TO the seashore. June is on dress parade iD
the suburbs she visits the villages in tan
talizing way but it is only in the country
that she is herself, and at home. Go where
she is herself, and at home. Go where she
comes in her glory therefore, if it is only
for an hour at time. Take TO the fields
and woods. Follow the tuueful brook, that
its varied tinkling voices may call back youI
lost youth. June is not June without bob
olnk,-that gay troubadour of our northern
cline who sings more purely for the fun Of
it than any of the tuneful train. Go into
the meadows and see him dance in the all
to his own mad music watch the patient
persistence of the awkward bumble-bee a:
he burglarizes the sweets from the nodding
clover-heads; or lying under the breeze
| stirred branches of a friendly tree, let you
fancy follow the regatta of the cloud-ship
as they go sailing by. In word, to enjo,
June, one needs to be sensitive to her beau
ties, but not necessarily sentimental abou
them. Prove your love by your devotion
and you shall not miss OF your reward

Make Room for Others.

The more man sees of the world, and
the more he mingles with others, the smaller
space is he inclined to claim for himself
among his fellows. He sees that, in the
pushing struggle of life, other peoples rights
must be considered, and he must not take
more ground than Just enough to stand on
This is very marked in all crowds, and in
all public places and conveyances. The
man or woman who is best versed in society
makes smallest demands and occupies least
space. The persons who take more room
than belongs to them are those who have
been least in company, least accustomed to
adapt themselves to the needs of those about
them. If you want to be thought well-bred
travelled, cosmopolitan, keep in your elbow:
in a crowd, and sit close in a street-car. II
you want to be thought boorish and uncul
tivated, and to be recognized as one who
was never much in good company, push both
sides of you, as well as in front and rear, in
a crowd, and spread yourself out in car
or in public hall. 1t is by such indications
as these that we see that the demands OF
Christian regard for the rights and feelings
of others secure the best results of good
breeding.

For the Vermont Wa
The Minister'S Lesson.

The little son of minister was accus-
toned to carry his tiny cup to the barn when
his papa was milking, for he enjoyed having
it filled with the warm, foaming milk direct
from the COW. One day, coming with his
cup, he asked for milk and his father an
swered, "Give me your cup and will fill
it," At that moment a mouse ran across the
floor and the little fellow ran after it with
his cup in his hand. Returning, after his
curiosity was satisfied, he asked again for
the milk and received the reply as before
but he heard the rumble of team going
past and away he ran. Coming back the
third time he made the same request and
added, "Ive asked you three times for
milk, papa, and think its too bad you don't
give it to me-" His father explained the
matter and, then, said, Now, give me your
cup and l will fill it." This time he obeyed
and quickly received the brimming cup from
the fathers hand. But the minister had fol
himself and his people deeper lesson than
the child learned. How often do Christian.
offer earnest prayers for needed and strongly
desired blessings and receive them not be-
cause they go away without fulfilling the
conditions necessary to gain the answer
The little one learned that he could not have
the milk while he ran about with the CUP
in his hand. 1t must be gicen up ere ii
could come to him heaped with the frothy

ChrIsts Welcome from the Grave.

The self.existence of Christ is vindicated
by his resurrection, and is the first truth
that find in the exclamation of Thomas,
"My Lord and my God" (John Xxx: lS).
His own assertion before his death was plain
enough. Concerning his life, he said 81
have power to lay it down and TO take it
again no man taketh it from me-" This
must have seemed very extravagant as COM
ing from the lips of Galilean peasant but
when he, at the same time, predicted that
he should be set at naught in Jerusalem,
and delivered into the hands of wicked men,
and be crucified and slain, still more impos-
sible would have seemed the plea. But was
he not apprehended in Gethsemane? Did
they not carry him as a captive before the
Sanhedrim ? Was he not speechess when
Plate demanded the cause of his arraign-
ment ? In every step of the great tragedy
second cause was given place, far more
prominent than his own submission to death
But his body had become pulseless. They
were sure that he had died, and they were
equally confident that it was the identical
body which had lain in the sepulcher that
they saw before them. 1t seems as though
God had directed in his providence that the
body of Jesus should lie in new tomb in
which never man lay, that there might be
tncuCclOIbH uO question hS 10 lllt lutullIy Oh
his risen form, or of the power by which he
was called forth. For, If there had been
another body in the grave, there might have
been some skeptio in the ages, who would
have formed and headed school to insist
that not Jesus of Nazareth, but an old
teacher laid TO rest many years before, had
been raised by God or they might have de-
cared that, as in the time of Elisha, so now,
this Galilean's bones had touched the bones
of righteous man and had revived, not
through his own power, but through some
mysterious action of their Jehovah. The
sincerity of Thomas skepticism is proved in
that he was entirely freed from prejudice,
and was ready to recognize that which could
be demonstrated as fact. This is the only
sort OF skepticism that is worth respect in
the world. There are men who claim to be
skeptcs as a pretext to escape and avoid
obedience unto righteous requirements. But
If the honest doubter bs true in his proies-
sion, he is open TO conviction, and when
reason and argument suffice, he is ready Ia
yield the point with positive gladness and
graciousness. So TO Thomas the living
Lord was the self-existent God. lie only
anticipated the words of Jesus himself in
Johns vision on Patmos, when he declared
81 am he that liveth, and was dead and
behold, am alive forevromore, amen; and
have the keys of hell and death" So pos
itively was this affirmation of the existence
of Christ vindicated by the resurrection
that the apostle Peter, in the third chapter
OF the book OF Acts, speaks OF the enormity
