Don't Deceive Children.
lA-thnrls Home Megazine.l

Nothing can be a greater mistake than to
consider young peopie as destitute of under
standing; their understanding should rather
be appealed to and consulted. Do we not
all remember how, when young, We were
imposed upon2 how our elders sought some
times 10 put US of; how they gave US evss-
Us some plausible story Gs an excuse or q
reason2 And do we not remember that
even in our youth and simplicity we were
quite capable of seeing through their man.
euversf Do we not al remember how,
when any one endeavcred to keep us in ig-
norance Of some proceeding of which we
were made accidentally cognizant, we
could divine very correctly the real motive
for sending US cut OF the way with some
false excuse? New, in case of this kind,
which comes within the pale of parental au-
thority, the will of the parent alone ought
to be sufficient to control tbs child. But
there should be no sitting of truth and no
relaxation of duty. If, as often win happen
1t is not expedient or proper fol children to
know a particular fac. or incident, they
should be told 30 with frankness and kind
ness, but at the ssme time with ffmDess
We are apt to overlook the intelligence OF
these little people and address ourselves to
their stature. We forget mind, which ia
invisible, In the presence Of matter which
is seen. The treatment of children must
always, for their own sakes differ much
from that of full-grown men and women;
our manner of addressing them must also
be different; but there does not seem to be
any reason why we should not give them
full credit for the amount of intelligence
they do possess; and we may every day see
children with more discrimination, greater
good sense. and better regulated moral de-
pertinent than many whose tall figure or
ripper age has invested them with the conse-
qIence Of men and women.

number five said he did not 60 to any of
these places, but that his children went to
them. and he did not know what he should
do about it. The sixth clergyman said he
believed the brethren did not know half
enough of what is going on in the world.
He made 1t his rule as an educator Of the
public to go to everything he chose to see,
and to study all he saw. Thus he was en-.
sbled to pick up many lessons about human
nature which he would otherwise miss.
Sometimes he went to the Stock Exchange
sometimes to the dime museums, sometimes
to the pigeon-shooting matches. Once he
went to see man hung, having procured
admission for the purpose in the capacity of
deputy sheriff. The other brethren shud-
dered little st st this but believed there
was something in it when they heard that
after witnessing this hanging, he preached
10 young men the most solemn and efec-
tive sermon he delivered in his life.

had been selected for the opening service s
hymn 'for Church seeking pastor

Nor let thy flock neglected mourn;

He did not give out that hymn. He
locked for hymn for Church seeking 8

of writing one.

BIJAH's STORY.
By s. Z. B.

He was little more than baby,
And played in the streets all day,
And he held in his tiny fingers
The string Of broken sleigh.
He was ragged, and cold, and hungry.
Yet his face was q sight 20 see
As he lisped TO a passing lady:
"Pleathe, mitthus, Will you vide mef'
But she drew close her fur-lined mantle.
And her train of silk and lace.
While she stared with naughty wonder
In the eager, piteous face.
And the eyes that shone so brightly
Bdmmed Ger with gushing rain,
And the poor little head dropped lower,
And his heart beat sad refrain.
When night came, cold and darkly.
And the lamps were all alight,
The Uallid lips grew whittier
With childish grief and fright
AS was passing the entrance
OF Church across the way
I found poor dead baby.
With his head on broken sleigh.
Soon young. eager footsteps
Were heard on the frozen street,
And a boy dashed into the station,
Covered with snow and slee:.
On his coat was q newsboy's number,
On his arm a brand-new sled"
"Have you seen my brother, BIZ ah'
He ought to be home In bed"
'FYou see, leave him ct Smithers'
While go around with the press;
They must have forgot about MIN.
And he's strsyed away, guess.
Last night when he said Our Father
And about the daily bread,
He Just threw in an extra.
COneernin' nice new sled.
81 was teilin' the boys at the Office,
And how he was only three,
So they stuck In for this here sumner
And sent IL home with me!
"And wOn't-what's the mstter. Biiahf
Why do you shake your head9
Oh, Father in Heaven have pityl
Oh, Bijah, he can't be deacl"
He clasped the child to his bosom
In q passionate, close embrace,
His tears and kisses falling,
'Twixt sObs, on the little face.
Econ the boyish grief grew silent;
There was never fear nor moan
For the heart of the dear Lord Jesus

think that tariff in excess of a revenue stand
ard is not right When we go beyond that it is
simply taxing one man for the benefit of an
other If 1 am q protected manufacturer and
you consumer, you pay tribute TO me and not
TO the government. The tariff is the leading ma
tionsl issue, because it lies at the foundation of
our system of revenue, and 1t will continue to
be until it is settled constitutional basis of
tariff for revenue. Incidental expenses is q
burthen that necessarily goes with that mode of
taxation. Aside from the burthens of govern
ment, free trade is the true doctrine. Even pro.
tectonsts admit that tariff should not be levied
for protection merely"

The action of the governors OF the Board of
Trade at their regular meeting last week, with
a view to a change Of location. is meeting with
a vigorous opposition from many OF the mem
bers, and a factious feeling has been aroused
which is likely TO cause another breach of har-
mony. The resolutions adopted by the gov
ernors favored a change of quarters to a more
central location, with the hope of securing
larger attendance of business men at the noon
meetings. Several of the active members of the
board, however, who are regular attendants at
the noon call, are decidedly opposed to the
change, and remonstrance is being circu-
lated which has thus far been signed by
about seventy-five persons. Mr.. d. A. Rich
arlson, of the firm OF Richardson &
Evans, in speaking of the matter to o
Journal reporter said that the present building
was selected because it was believed to be better
adapted to the needs OF the board than any other
that could he Obtained, and ho was inclined to
