There is more information contained in the 125
pages of this book than in any similar work that
has come before our notice. The author has
adopted it as a textbook for schools and acad
emes, and in order to as much rs possible gloss
over the hard, dry facts of knowledge he has
taken house and shown first of what stuff and
how Its parts are made, speaking as near as pos.
sible to the beginning of those things which are
first used as the house is being built As bricks
and mortar are made by the help of coal, he be-
gins by speaking OF coal; then Of the trimmings
of the house such as paint and paper; then OF
pots and pans, &C.; then of lighting and heating
then Of clothing; then OF food then of cleaning

The first mate of the vessel, he of the
fur cap, was a character. 1t was appro
pirate to find him in the Mark Twain.
He was bald and looked very old. but
declared he was thirty.
"Ef you had been through what l hev
my travelin' stranger" quoth he, 'you
too would look like an example of the
longest kind of longevity. My name
figures prominently in history. I've
been published in four hundred and thir.
ty-nine newspapers and one almanac
I've been blown up by steamboats, in
twenty-five States and several terrific
ries. On most occasions, everybody on
board perished except myself. Pieces of
my skull is layin' round loose all up and
down this river, and numerous of its
tributarrys. Awful? Yes. Once /

bust we did. When l come down i
couldn't find nothin'. Everything had

But, bless you!-that's nothin. Minor

when we progressed we went round and

A PRESBYTERIAN Indeed.

Yarmouth. Nova Scotia, has witty
and wide awake Presbyterian elder oi
pronounced Scotch antecedentS, who
although persistent advocate OF the
Westminster Confession, will OCCASION
ally, for convenience sake, and from an
innate love of social religious inter
course. attend the meetings of his Meth
odist brethren,
At recent praycr-meeting of the lat
ter body of Christians that was held as
preparatory to centennial service in
commemoration of the progress OF
Methodism in Nova Scotia, the presiding
minister dwelt eloquently upon the
wonderful growth and prosperity OF the
Methodist Church, and of its great
founder, John Wesley. He also express
ed thankfulness that to-day there were
one hundred and nine Methodist Minis
ters in Nova Scotia.
The meeting thus very naturally as
sumed a denominational character. and
the minister asked our good Presbyte-
rian brother to lead in prayer at the
close. The elder complied, and after
thanking the Lord for the many goot
things he had just heard "about this
branch of Zion," he added, with muci
dep,h of Telling, 80 Lord, We thank Thee
for John Wesley, but We especially
thank Thee for john Knox; we thank
Thee for the hundred and nine Method
ist ministers in our country, but we es-
pecially thank Thee for the hundred anC
thirteen Presbyterian ministers who arr
preaching the Word of Life throughout
our land. Amen.

The ChiIdren's Week.

Don't be alarmed at all the noise
You hear from laughing girls and boys
From Christmas until Now Years day
Let children have their fullest sway;
Let them romp. and let them run,
Do anything to have some fun;
Let them healthy pleasures seek.
OF all the year tits children's week.
Let them halloo. let them call.
And scamper up and down the hall;
Let them blow their whistles shrill,
And tOot their trumpets when they will.
And let them run the parlors Ger,
Spread all their playthings on theEfoor
Be, parents, to their failings meek,
OF all the year. tbs childrens week.
Yes. parents. mingle in their joys
Return again to girls and boys,
Leave, fathers, business cares behind,
Enjoyment in the family find,
Forget the cares of business strife
With mother join the children's life.
And with your darlings pleasure seek;
OF all the year, tbs children's week.

The man who has eaten one pound of
beef daily for one year does not find it
necessary, in order to obtain the same
effect, to eat two pounds daily for the
next year; but he who drinks one pint
of whisky daily for one year, must take
two pints daily the second year to OBJ
tain the same effect.
Any article of food or drink, the use
of which creates the necessity for larger
quantities and at shorter intervals in
order to attain the same mental or phys
ical elevation, by that fact proves itself
pernicious.
1t is not proof because man grows
fat and his face becomes red under the
use of stimulants, that he is improving

Cholera and all other pestilential dis
eases make their first visits to those who
use habitually stimulating drinks.

Tobacco is certainly not food for man,
nor has it much value as medicine.

known to thrive upon its use.

THB SUN.
NEW YORK, 1888.

More people have read THE SUN during the
year just now passing than ever before since it
was first printed. No other newspaper pub
lished on this side of the earth has been bought
and read in any year by so many men and
women
We are credibly informed that people buy,
read, and like THE SUN for the following rea-
sons, among others:
Because its news columns present in attrac-
tive form and with the greatest possible accu-
racy whatever has interest for humankind; the
events, the deeds and misdeeds. the wisdom,
the philosophy, the notable folly, the solid
sense, the improving nonsense-all The news OF
the busiest world at present revolving In space.
Because people have learned that in its re-
marks concerning persons and affairs The SUN
makes a practice of telling them the exact
truth to the best of its ability three hundred
and siXty-tve days in the year, before election
/ os well as after. about the whales as well as
about the small fish, in the lace of diss ent as
plainly and fearlessly as when supported by
general approval. The sun has absolutely no
purposes TO serve. save the information OF its
reaGers and the furtherance of the common
good.
Because it is everybody's newspaper. No
man is so humble that THE SUN is indifferent
to his welfare and his rights, No man is so
rich that it can allow injustice to be done him
No man, no association of n en-, is powerful
enough to be exempt from the strict applica-
ton of its principles Of right and wrong.
Because IN politics lt has fought Tor dozen
years, without intermission and sometimes al
most alone among newspapers, the fight that
has resulted IN the recent Overw helming pOpu-
lar verdict against Rohesonism and for honest
government. No matter what party is in pow
er. THE sun stands and will continue to
sand like a rock for the interests of the people
against the ambition of bosses, the encroach-
ments of mnn0polists. and the dishonest
schemes of public robbers.
All this is what we are told almost daily by
our friends. One man holds that THE 81 N is
the best religious newspaper ever published,
because its Christianity is undi1uted with cant
Another holds that it Is the best Republican
newspaper printed, because it has already
whipped half OF the rascals out of that party,
and is proceeding against the other half with
un undiminished yigor \ third believes it to
be the best magazine Of general literature in
existence because its readers miss nothing
worthy of notice that is current in the world
of thought So every friend OF THE SUN dis
covers one fits many sides that appeals with
particular force to his individual liking
If you alr5ady know The SUN. you will OBJ
serve that in |: S3 it little better than ever
before. Ifyou 10 not already know THE SUN
you will find it to be Il mirr0a of all human ac-
tivity, a stOrehouse OF the choicest products Of
common sense and imagination, mainstay
for the cause Of honest government, sentinel
for genuine JeffersonIan Democracy, scourgc
for wickedneSs of every species. and an un-
commonly good Investment for the coming year

In all her piteous loyellness

In all her piteous loveliness,
But would not yet her slumber break,
And said, my darling shall not wake
Until her prayer we answered see
As well and nearly as may be-"
And soon the sleek swift horses flew
Back where proud presents, rich and
new,
Hung in the lamp-light's brilliant rays,
The envy Of all childreL's s gaze:
Which. ere another hour had lied.
Hands softly bore, and placed before
This little sleeper's lowly bed. ,- q
She woke at last: and wondering. threw
A swift glance keen upon the scene
That burst upon her startled view.
A vast amazement filled her face:
The room was like fairy place.
No toy she wished but 1t Was there;
Bright presents glittered everywhere.
No gift her thought had learned to
prize
But it was spread before her eyes;
And presents made her young heart
glow
Whose very names she did not know.
But look a man with step of pride.
And sweet lady by his side.
More beautiful and high of mien
Than any she had ever seen.
Came, and above her wept and smiled,
And called her their poor long-lost
child
The Christmas morn rose clear and
bright;
And through the flashing fields of light
A band of angels sweet and fair,
1t seemed to me came far to see
That answer to the Christmas prayer.
