RECENTLY Whitelaw Reid, editor of
the New York Tribune, delivered an
address at Xenia, Ohio, upon the pub
lie school system and gave expression
to the following sensible words:
"Strengthen the basis of the school
system before you increase the super.
structure. Teach fewer things, but
teach them SO they will be absolutely
known. Make the course of study
more compact and manageable; post
pone the accomplishments banish
even science and drawing, and first
give the child what will be essential
for the practical business of life, and a
basis for self-improvement."
Mr. Reid is right. The great trou-
bic Of the present dav there is too

In old days, when oysters were so
very cheap in England that they were
retailed at four for a penny, green
ones were thrown away because it was
thought that they got the color from
the copper sheathing of ships. 1t is
now discovered that green oysters are
delicacy, and they are especially cul
tivated, while the color is found to
come from small creatures which are
eaten and digested by the oyster, and
which impart to it the particular color

IT IS said that clergyman of dis
tinction. in one Of the largest commun-
ions Of the country, recently found oc-
casion, in sermon delivered not a
thousand miles from Elkton, to vindi-
cate the Apostle Peter, and that he did
it in this wise: "Peter was an indo-
mnitable as the late General Thomas,-
as impulsive as Sheridan,-as firm and
irresistible as Grant, and as brave as
Julius Caesar That certainly ought
to enshrine poor Peter in a panoply
dearer than Christianity, and leave him
only cause to regret that he was not as
prosperous as Belknap, as remorseless
as Conkling, and as lucky as Garfield.
Perhaps it would be well, in justice to
the timid victim of the cock-crow, that
the eloquent champion make the addi-
tions in his revised proof; and il he
would make the panoply more secure,
he might add that He whom Peter de-
MED was as patriotic as Abraham Lin
coin and as much of martyr as old
John Brown. Pious hearers might
have some faint apprehensions of
sacrilege, but, in the minds of some
modern evangelists. Calvary loses its
radiance in the light of the glories of

When mothers watch besi de their children's

And kiss the snowy brows and golden
hair,
They do not see the future that Is coming
Though life is made Of grief and pain and
care.
But God is good to all the tender mothers,
He wells the future, with its pain and sin,
Though sometime es fears may dim the pres
ent gladness,
Yet never can they quench the hope within.
Yes, God is very good TO tender mothers,
They see no thorns upon the golden head
OF him who plays amid lifes earliest roses
That bloom feeting hour and then are

But shs, the model OF all earthly mothers,
Was never spared the pain Of knowing
this.
That, though her Christ-child played with
blooming roses,
The cross must come, FOR all her prayerful
bliss
To look-He slept-upon His snowy eyelids,
And know that they should close upon the
troe,
To gaze upon his smooth and stainless fore
heed,
And know that there great drops of blood
should be.
To catch His dimpled hands and softly
warm them,
As mothers do, between her own, was

She felt the nail-prints on their velvet sur

She could not save her Lamb from being
