Children's DrOll Sayings.

Children's remarks are at times even more
entertaining than their comical queries. One
of two children who were amusing them
selves by coloring pictures, suddenly ex-
claimed Well, how stupid of you TO paint
that COW blue p "Oh. it's blue with the
cold," quickly observed the other. "Don't
you see it is winter, and the poor thing is
most frozen |" A little girl on being told
something which greatly amused her, vowed
that she would remember il the whole of
her life, and when she forgot it she would
write it down." A canary had begun TO
twitter little after moulting, but was UNI
able to sing its entire tune. A little four
year old, alter listening to one of the birds
vain attempts to master his tune, said very
composedly Mamma, birdie forgot the 9th.
half of the verse;" Canaries bring to mind
their enemies, the cats. A gentleman had
cat which had five kittens. On ordering
three of them to be drowned, his little boy
said, Pa, do not drown them in cold water.
Warm it first they may catch cold" The
following remark of little girl shows an
opinion of her elders the reverse of flatter-
ing. 40 dear |" she exclaimed to her doll,

saw such an uneasy thing in all my life
Why don't you act like grown folks, and be
still and stupid for a while" ln contrast to
this was the delicate compliment paid to his
mother. The family were discussing at the
supper table the qualities that go to make
up the good wife. Nobody thought the lit
lie fellow had been listening or could under
stand the talk, until he leaned over the table
and kissed his mother, and said, -" Mamma,

The Power Of Children.

DR.. Schaff reminded me the other morn
ing of story once heard in reference to
asking questions of children. One gentle
man, l think it WAS Lord Shaftesbury, said !:
Little girl who made your vile body 7"
" Betsy Jones made the body, and made
the skirt" could give you illustration af-
ter illustration OF the aptness of children.
Oh, what mighty power are children
There is one man who thanks God for the
influence of his little child. He said TO me :
"Should you think, to look at me, that
was ever drunkard ?" "No." al was a
hard one. | will tell you how it was, and
how began TO reform. | was a very hard
case" And then he told me in the third
person how it was. He said lady saw a
little girl constantly passing her house with
Jug. "What have you in that jug Z"
Whskey, maam." "Where do you live ?"
Down in the hollow" She went down
there to see the place. What place What
misery What wrecked sight Is that
your little girlY she asked of terrible
looking man. "Yes." "Does she go to
school2 "No." "Why :" "No clothes"
Does she go to Sunday-school :" "No."
"Well, she ought TO go TO Sunday-school."
And it was arranged that the lady should
come and furnish her some clothes. She was
teachable little creature, and her teacher
gave her New Testament. She showed il to
everybody This is my little Testament"
How happy she was with il She was taken
i'll, and the doctor said she could not live.
Then the man went on with his story
"One day | went in and sat beside that
child. What brought me there | cannot
tell, but | was mad for liquor. Oh, the
itching, burning, crying. for liquor-for
whiskey I'd have sold everything in the
house to get it, | would have sold that
child for whiskey." But, you say, this is
the raving of a mailman Is it The
little creature was holding the New Tesla
ment in her hands, and dropped it on the
coverlet. "And," said he, 81 grabbed that
Testament and put it into my pocket. And
then, like the guilty, sneaking thing was,
| went out. | went to the dram-shop
asked the liquor-seller to give me whiskey.
On my knees begged him to give me the
whiskey for it. He poured out tumbler
two thirds full, and drank off the whole
at one draught and felt better. | went
home. There was a little perspiration on
my face, but | was burning hot within,
The little creature was asleep. When she
awoke, she said Why, papa, did you know
| am going to die And when | die |
shall go to heaven but oh, papa when
go to heaven, suppose Jesus should ask me
what you did with my little Testament
what will tell him 2" lie said at was
like flash OF lightning and ! cried, God
be mercful TO me, sinner i 1t was the last
drop OF whiskey ever bought in my life'

The Gain OF Sabbath Rest.

OF course do not say that man will
not produce more in week by working
seven days than by working six days. But
| very much doubt whether, at the end of
the year, he will generally have produced
more by working seven days week than by
working six days week. and firmly be-
lieve that at the end of twenty years he will
have produced less by working seven days a
week, than by working six days week. The
natural difference between Campania and
Spiizburgen is trifling when compared with
the difference between a country inhabited
by men of full bodily and mental vigor, and
a country inhabited by men sunk in bodily
and mental decrepitude. Therefore it is
that we are not poorer but richer, because
we have through many ages rested from our
work one day in seven. That is not lost
While industry is suspended, while the pillow
lies in the furrow, while the exchange is
silent, while no smoke ascends from the
factory, process is going on quite as i'm
portant to the wealth of the nation as any
process which is performed on more busy
days. Man, the machine Of machines-tht

trivances of the Watts and Arkwrights ART

that he returns to his labor on Monday witt

Who rests at the roads beginning

And You sing with the singing rllls;

And the valleys are far beneath

Aud spread you a couch OF health
Then Ia the time for resting,
There is the place Of reposei
How grand are the skies above you,
How cool ia the wind that blowsl
And the thought Of the task attempted,
Fully and nobly done,
Makes gladder the welcome respite,
For It comes after victories won.
Rest then. aye, and be thankful,
For Il is not given to all

Some faint, some struggle and fall.

Strength and patience that do not fail,
Sing unto him heart-praises,

But other parts remain.

The needed strength shall be given,
And need the excelsior voices

Oh, the strange oppressive stiffness
Where the children come no more
All the longing Of the sleepless
For the soft arms Of the children
All the longing for their faces

Faces gone forevermore
Strange II ia to wake at midnight
And not hear the children breathing
Nothing but the old clock ticking
Ticking, ticking by the door.
Strange to see the little dresses
Hanging mp there all the morning
And the gaiters-ah their patter,
