A Big Snow Blockade.
Two Weeks in the Snow-How Passengers
Suffered in Oregon.

One of the worst snow blockades
eveI seen III the country was that of a
train with $50 passengers on the Ore
gon railway and navigation company's
road, which lasted over "A fortnight
The train became fast December III,
aud 1000 men, % locomotives and a
dozen SNOW plOws worked till after
January , before they relieved the
party. The train became stalled about
four miles east nf Wyeth.
Every able-bodied man on the train
took a shovel, and repeated efforts
were made to clear the track The
wind was high and the snow dry, and
shoveling was found to be useless.
Repeated snow slides from the noun
t;Iins soon convinced the conductor
that there was Imminent danger of the
train being buried, and he backed up
20 trestle, which had only just been
gained when tremendous slide occur

/ There is still another class of mem
cries, which, sooner or later, become
part of the history of every home and
Influence its life. There is no home
into which sOrrow does not come la
some form. at some time. Nearly
every household has its sacred me-
mentoes of one who is gone. Then
there are griefs worse than those which
death causes, which we can never
bury out of our sight. Such MEM
cries affect the home life. They sober
it, sometimes they sadden it. Yet, if
endured in the right way, SORROW al
ways leaves a blessing. 1t draws the
members of the household closer to-
gether. We never love one another
toward another, so thoughtful, so un
selfish, rs when n common grief has
touched us all. Indeed sanctiiied sor-
row transfgures a home. 1t sweeps
clings always about unchastened love.
It takes something of tile hardness out
of every heart. 1t brings out the bet
ter things of trne affection and deep
ems the meaning of life. If the music
is not so loud afterward, it is sweeter
if the Joy is less hilarious, it is richer
and fuller. 1t may, indeed, be said
that 40 home ever reaches its highest
sweetness of love, until sorrow in soue
form has entered it's life. The house
hold that endures sorrow in the spirit
of faith and resignation, comes through
it enriched and blessed. Husband
and wife that bend side by side over a
dead child are drawn to each other rs
never before. Brothers and sisters
grow more patient and thoughtful in
their intercourse, when the circle has
been broken. In Christless, prayer
less home, sOrrows are not transfgured
and changed into blessings. 1t is only
when the cross is the centre of all, that
the memories of home are hailowed
benedictions.-lS. s. Times.

Children Trained for Busin

Children Trained for Business.
Our children must be trained for the
business world. If they live, the time
is not far distant when they must shift
for themselves. To ensure their sue
cess, they must acquire the habits OF
integrity, prudence and economy
they must learn the value and pur-
poses of money; and must become
self-reliant and industrious. Now,
home training must be chiefly relied
upon for the needed instruction and
discipline. Hence, the money question,
in the management of children, may
be properly discussed in this connec-
ton. Children, like older persons, de-
sire what money will purchase and
tent and in what manner shall they be
gratified The only way for children
to learn the use of money, either for
their present or future benefit, is by
using it. How, then, shall our chill
dren be taught the important pIinci-
pies of political economy? The more
common way of furnishing them with
money, is to give only when they ask
for it, and in quantities determined by
the frequency and importantly of their
calls. Let us see how this method OPP
crates in practical way.
If the boy finds that he can be graft
fed only through importantly and ser
Witty, it is natural to suppose that he
will soon lose all feelings of deiicacy
and manly pride in business matters.
He will learn to gain his object through
artfulness and pertinency, and will
have no inducement to take care OF his
money, to form plans of expenditure,
or to practice self-deuial. The amount
he can obtain does not depend upon
his frugality or financial skill, but up
on his cOaxing and persistency.
Hence the tendency of this fitful and
uncertain method of obtaining money,
is to foster the growth of all the ignOble
prOpensities of the boys nature, and
to discourage the cultivation of his
better qualities. There must, there
fore, be II better way, which here sug-
gests itself, viz: let the parent fix up
on Il definite sum of money to be given
to the child at stated times. 1t may
he IL weekly or monthly allowance OF
so much as is thought to be for the
child's good to control This should
always he promptly paid, and be left
entirely at the disposal of the party
who receives it. Promptness of pay
ment by the parents, tends to cultivate
the same habit in the children, and
giving up the control Of such accumu-
latiOns, enables the parents to instruct
them as to the uses and abuses OF
money, aud TO train them, from their
earliest years, to habits of forecast and
thrift, of economy and benevolence
They must be taught to distinguish
between what is useful and what is
injurious, and not encouraged to spend
their money for their own qualification,
but for what is harmless, or really
beneficial. They should be encouraged
to contribute To the relief of the suffer
ing and needy, and thus taught to seek
the enjoyment which results from do
ing good, in distinction from that
which arises from self qualification
