Theology for Children.
Dean Sfanley.1

What shall we teach our children to be-
lleve in order that, when they grow up, they
may find that later experience shall not alter
what they have learned when they WERE
young? We must teach them that beyond
and above what they see and feel and touch
there is something creator and better which
they cannot see or feel or touch. Goodness,
kindness, modesty, courage, unseltishness-
these are the best things in the world. 1t is
true that goodness and courage have no
hands that we can clasp, yet they are GER
tainly there in the midst of our work and
our play; and this goodness which, except in
outward acts, we cannot see, is something
which existed long before we were born. 1t
is from this that we have all the pleasant
things in the world. The flowers, the sun
shine, the moonlight these are given to
us by some great kindness and goodness
which we have never seen at all and this
goodness which is everywhere is that great
power out of which all things come. And
we call this great power by the name of
God and because God is SO much above us
and is SO good to us, we call him also by the
name which is the most dear to us and the
most above us Of all names On earth-we call
him our Father. When the father of his
children goes away from home, still his chill
dren know that he is somewhere, though
they cannot see him; and they know what
they can do to please him. So it is with the
great unseen father of us all. Let us then
teach our children that God is goodness and
love. Let us teach them that the rules which
He has laid Gown for the government of this
world are His will and wish for us.

Where Drums Come From.
Hartford Times,


Granville Corners is situated about two
miles north of the Connecticut line. A large
mill stream runs through the place "a branch
of the Westfield river, furnishing number
of privileges, most of which are utilized.
Messrs. Noble & Cooley are by far the largest
in the place. They say that
in December, 1853, they first made drum
in Mr.. Mobiles fathers kitchen, from board
in the barn, steamed it with a teakettle, and
used two hogs bladders for the heads Next
they made dozen drums, and sent them
away in bost box. They now have fac
tory 11Ox40 feet, with five floors, and use
steam and water. They have made and sold
10000 drums. These were made of wood,
tin, brass and nickel. They used for the
heads of all these drums 10000 sheepskins,
which came from Liverpool, of the kind
known as salted feshes. Let none of your
readers wonder where all the toy drums are
made hereafter. This firm also made 400
gross of toy pistols, $4,000 boxes tenpins 700
gross rolling hoops, and $4,000 boxes wooden
tOOthpicks.

The Neo Highlander for March is a first

toricaI and Personal "reminiscences of the
Spanish Revolution" by Professor William

Article II. is entitled 1.-The Personality OF
God," and is translation, by DR.. w. Haskell,
from Lotze's ''Mikrokosmus. Miss Birds
popular book ''Unbeaten Tracks in Japan" is
reviewed in very interesting manner by
Professor s. Wells Williams. In the JAN

Carlyle and the Queen.

[E. W. Smalleys London Letter to n. Y. Tribune.l
Dean Stanley, who was among Mr.. Car
lyle's friends, and who is one of several &C.
clesiastical pets of royalty, once arranged a
meeting at the deanery between Mr.. Carlyle
and the Queen, by the Queens desire. 1t
took place not long after Mr.. Carlyle had de-
clined the Grand Cross of the Bath-,-the ac-
ceptance of which would have made him Sir
Thomas Carlyle, G. @. B. Perhaps the inter
view was meant to dispel the foolish notion
that the queen was yexed by his refusal.
More probably it was because the Queen, who
was little likely to concern herself about such
reports, wanted to see the philosopher. The
queen is, after all, a woman, and has more
than once shown that she has woman's cur
iosity. They met at 5 o'clock tea and
considerable number of persons were present.
Mr.. Carlyle was duly presented to her majes-
ty by the dean, and was graciously rece1ved
It is said that he at once took the lead in the
conversation, and even gave voice to his 10y
al wishes for the Queens health-two breach
es of etiquette which made the hair of the
assembled courtiers to stand on end. This
believe to be scandal, but what is certain is
that Mr. Carlyle, upon the Queens polite
speeches coming to an end, forthwith looked
about him for seat and sat down, to the un-
speakable horror of the company, every
was high treason to sit in the queens pres
ence till her majesty had commanded them
to be seated. But the queen, less horror
struck than the rest, and with that good
breeding of which she is mistress when she
chooses, saved the situation by seating her
self, and waving her royal hand to the rest to
be seated also enforcing her command with
the voice, after q moment, upon one or two
upright members of the group.
