Answer the Children.


Some of the richest opportunities for the
education of children are lost because the
father or mother fails to appreciate and use
them. In nothing is the neglect Of this
duty so great as in the failure to answer the
questions of children patiently and intelli-
gently. Such questions are often so mop
perfume and numerous as 10 be very trying
to the patience, but it should never be for
gotten that they are the indications of an
awakening mind, reaching out on all sides
for knowledge and eager to receive it. The
years before the schoolmaster has been put
in charge are the years in which habits of
observation are formed, and in them the
parent can render an inestimable service to
the child. A vast amount of delightful in
struction can be given, too, in the way of
stories instead of the silly trash which is
palmed off on children. A little selfdenial
and little study on the part Of the parent
will put the child in possession of not only
the rich fund of Bible stories but of the
pure and beautiful myths of mythology, so
that it can inherit at an early age an imagi-
native world into which most children come
much later and only as the result of hard
study Christian Union

PASSING CLOUD.

little cloud went slowly sailing
Across the sunny skyi
A woful little wind went walllug
Through the tree-tops Hight
A sudden sunbeam danced across the shadows,
And 40 the shower went by
little frown came stealing after
A gusty little sigh
pearly teaf-drop drowned the laughter
ofamerry eye,
A sudden smile danced in the baby dlmples,
And so the shower went by.

Oh, u,yBaCk!!

That's a common express
sion and has a world Of
meaning. How much suf-
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by SO many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver COM
plant, consumption, cold,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet beea discovered that
will so quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
Browns IRON BITTERs, and
it does this by commencing
at the foundation, and max
ing the blood pure and rich.
Wm. P. Marshall, of Logans-
port, Indiana, writes: " My wife
has for many years been trou-
bled from pain in her back
and general debility incident
to her sex. She has taken one
bottle of Browns Iron 0itters,
and I can truthfuhy say that
she has been so much benefited
that she pronounces it the
only remedy of many medi-
cines she has tried"
Leading physicians and
clergymen use and recon-
mend Browns IRON BIT-
TIERS. 1t has cured others
suffering as you are and it
will cure you.
