Our readers may have seen or heard
the statement that it takes a soldiers
weight of lead to kill him in battle,
and they may have considered it to be
merely a rhetorical hyperboie. sug-
gested by the obvious fact that COM
paratively few out of the whole num-
Der OF shots in war take effect. 1t
seems, however, that the assertion,
which originated with the famous
Marshal SAKE, was proved by Cassen-
di, after careful mathematical calcu-
lation. to be exaggeration. and. with
SAll the improvements that have been
made in muskets and in the art OF
using them effectively, it is still not
far from the truth. AT the battle OF
Solferino a comparison Of the number
of shots fired on the Austrian side with
the number killed and wounded on
the part of the enemy shows that seven
hundred bullets were expended for
each man wounded, end 4, 200 for each
one killed. Now, as the average weight
of the ball used was thirty grams, IA
mnst have required. at least 1z6 kilo'

THE CHILD AND TIE YEAR.

Said the Child to the youthful Year:
"What hast thou in store for me,
. giver Of beautiful gifts, what cheer,
What JOY dost thou bring with thee?"
''My seasons four shall bring
Their treasures: the winters SHOWS,
The autumn's store, and the flowers of spring
And the summers perfect rose.
''Al these and more shall be thine,
Dear Child-but the last and best
Thysolf must earn by a strife divine,
If thou wouldst be truly blest
'"Wouldst know this last, best gift?
'1is a conscience clear and bright,
A place of mind which the soul can lift
To an infinite delight.
''Gruth, patience, courage and love
II thou unto me canst bring.
l will sot thee all earth's ills above,
o Child, and crown thee a King!"

A Practical Girl.

Helen Burdett's father was an m.
inois farmer, with a good farm y.
perhaps, 200 acres, but without any
n to share his labors or inherit III
estate. He accordingly brought M
his daughter Helen very much as be
would have brought up a boy. She was
strong and healthy, very intelligent.
and with a decided taste for outdoor
life, and she very soon attained a rem.
utation for Judgment" and for
knowledg second to that of no farmer
or stock-raiser in the vicinity. When
she was eighteenfyears old her father
died, and 1T seemed necessary that she
should carry on the place for at least
a year to come, a task to which she
was fully equal. The crops were ae.
cordingly planted undet her direction.
and she went out to buy steers. as her
father usually went at that season.
She purchased sixty-fye head of steers,
pastured them during the summer, and
sold them at the end of the season at
a clear profit of exactly S1,066.
She knew ''every inch of ground
on the farm, as the saying is, and
just what should be done with it.
Every man in the vicinity understood
that she was thoroughly intelligent IN
her business, and that it would be use
less to try to overreaeh heI. One man,
when questioned about her, remarked
in the vernacular of the country,
There amt a man in the State can
size UP a herd of steers as close as she
can, and our droUeyer says she beats
him at a bargain every time" Yet
Miss Helen Burdetk is as modest and
lady-like as any girl in the United
States. The drover did not mean that
she ''beat HIM down" or ''beat him
out" but simply that she understood
cattle and could tell their s.pointso
better than he could.
When Helen was fourteen years old,
her father gave her permission 70 go
and buy a cow for herself. She went
forth alone and independent, bought
her COW, and came home leading It by
the rope.
Her COW proved to be an excellent
investment. II knew" said her faith
err triumphantly, THAT she could pick
out a better one than / could myseli,
and / believe she has done it.
A picture of Miss Helen Burdetl
stands before me, as | write. But she
is Helen Burdett no longer. a wealthy
young farmer from the far West came
to know and love her, and appreciated
her value. When she married, mel
fathers house and farm were sold q
auction. She managed the sale and !
was completed most admirably. In'
picture is taken in her wedding dress
and the quiet, regular, thoughtful rag
would indicate to the uninitiated
student, possibly an artist or q writer
No one would suspect this elegantly
attired and self-possessed young VIZ
man OF being a thorough farmer an,
an expert stock-raiser. 81 tell you,

For |, when thou wakest at dawn, to thee am

The tremulous glow of the noon the twilight

The bird in its nest in the thicket-thou

The planet that leads the night-legions-tho
liftest thy gaze to the skies.
And am the soft dropping rain, the snow
with its fluttering swarms
The summer day cloud on the hill-tops, that
showest its manifold forms;
Ths wind from the south and the west, the
voice that sings courage in storms
Sweet was the earth to thee even, but sweetel
by far to thee now;
How hast thou room for tears, when all timei

Beholding who dwells with God in the bios

lin memory of Mary R, Kramer, who died
October I'd, 1884, in the 18th year OF her
age.l
Midst the sound Of pealing gladness
And the mirth Of Christmas morn,
Midst the songs and natal praises
In triumph 10 heaven borne,
A mothers heart is aching
Is weary, lonely and sad,
And father in sorrow and sadness
Is trying in vain to be glad.
While memory brings before them
A face 30 smiling and bright:
As head was turned on the pillow
On the wonderful Santa Claus night.
How the mind will cling to the picture,
As each cycle comes to gaze
How marked Is each varying beauty,
Through child and girlhood days;
Till the girl was lost in the maiden,
The pride of the parents heart.
They wee her now 30 plainly
While the bitter tear drops start;
While the bells ring out 30 gaily,
1t seems so hard to think,
They on this side the river,
While Mary has crossed the brink.
Each corner seems to re echo
The sound of a loving voice.

No cause for birthday present,
To be kept in some hidden place;
No birthday kiss Christmas morning;
No blush on q maiden's face.

Like rift through broken cloud;
/ A peace, a joy, q comfort,
Too deep for shivering shroud.
i A CLEAN that will coma with a mnrninp
In a pure celestial light,
When the east is aglow with a brightness
OF day that knows no night
Our loved We will meet in that morning
What dawn of hallowed bliss,
When we see in that glorious sunrise
| or a brighter world than this,
| Those we have loved and mourned for,
| When none but God could know,
| When, merrily rang the Christmas bells,
And the Yule-log WAS aglow.
