WRITTEN FOR THE MoNIToR.l

Only a boy with mother curls,
And eyes not ashamed of tear,
With other boys in saloon
Drinking his first glass of beer.
Only boy from mothers care
Wandering on with waywafd feet,
Only boy forgotten his prayer
Now lying drunk in the street.
Only boy in the lookup,
Who now had rather not be seen.
Only boy in dishonor
And not an arm on which to lean.
Only boy in distress,
And a taste of the worlds hate,
Only boy in suffering
Driven to a shocking fate.
Only a young man going downward
With not hand stretched out to save,
Only corpse lying ready
To fill a drunkard's grave.
Only brow so arrogant,
Only an unbroken will,
Only form of comeliness,
Now lying cold, and dead and still.
. Only noble intellect,
Which would not stop to think,
Only some God given talents
Crushed by accursed drink.
Only mother broken hearted
Just turning to Gods laws
With duty now pointed out
To work in the temperance cause.
Only woman laboring
With her sad story to tell
To young men all around her
To save their souls from hell.
Knowing that they may have mothers
As thoughtless as she had been,
Trying with all her might to make
The end of the drunken seen.
Not wearying in her labor
Tho her form meath the burden bends,
Always a voice in the silence
'Lo, am with you to the end"
-CHas. A. Liuinoston.

KINDNESS TO ANIMALS.

When the edlct was promulgated
that man should have dominion over
the brute creation, it was not intend
ed that his power should be so exer-
cised as to cause animals unnecessa-
ry pain.
That there is no necessity of in
fiicting punishment upon animals is
not claimed, but that it should be
continued to any extent Is denied.
There is not an animal that lives but
that recognizes the difference be-
tween kindness and brutality as
quick as mankind can do, and will
manifest, so far as looks can show,
sense of pain when harsh words are
spoken The farmer should be suf-
fciently familiar and so kind to his
animals, that they will at all times
manifest pleasure at seeing him ev-
cry time they are approached by him,
and this may be the ease by kind
treatment and pleasant words. But
let angry and harsh words be spoken
to an animal and how quickly it i'm
bibes beligerent spirit by attempt
ing to gore its neighbor.
With COWS that are being MIXED
the spirit of kindness must prevail if
the milk would be secured; kick, a
blow, or few harsh words are suffi-
cient to cause Withholding of milk.
| A farmer once said that he used to
chase his creatures around the yard
with a pitch fork and thought the
devil was in the COWS; but by treat
ing them kindly he had discovered
that the devil was in himself instead.
This is fair illustration of very
natural result from personal action.
How many times have pair of cat
tie, especially if they possess any
spirit, after being beaten for some
imaginary cause, attempted to run
away from their cruel master, who
no doubt thought the devil was in
them when he was like the case
above. It is far better to give nc
occasion for such thought treat with
kindness and there is no animal but
that will do all that lies in its power
to serve it's master, but if you desire
ugly animals, be ugly to them and
you will meet with surprising sue.

Old Time Scholars.

With dinner baskets at their side,
They to the school house gayly hied,
And entering with decorous mien,
Soon deep in study they were seen;
For "master" said their aim must be
To 90 beyond the .'Rule of Three;'
Besides, they must their copies write,
Nor let blot be once in sight.
1t was against the "master's" will,
They should be careless with their "quill."
And when the forenoon hours were out,
Forth went the boys with many shout,
And num'rous were the games they played
Nooning appeared to them so brief,
That it was gone seemed past belief.
"Boys, to your studies once again,
For if YOU live you'll soon be men.
'Tis my ambition you should be
So learned and good, that all may see
My labors have not been in vain,
What I did teach was to your gain;
Twill be my pride to see you fill
Places of trust at public will"
"Girls, too, store knowledge grain by grain,
Which joined by virtue can but gain
The praise none ever need disdain,
Nor seek, for that indeed is vain.
And be content whate'er your lot,
AS flowers that bloom in lowly spot,
Modest and sweet, are often sought,
While others gayer are forgot"
Thus spoke the ''master'' to those youth,
And they received it as the truth,
For they had learned ne'er to despise
His kindly words, and counsels wise.

ssBLUE SKY YELsEwHERE.-Children
are eloquent teachers. Many les
son which has done our hearts good
have we learned from their lisping
lips. 1t was but the other day an
other took root in memory. We were
going to picnic, and of course the
little ones had been in ecstasies for
several days. But the appointed
morning broke forth no glad sun
shine, no song of birds, no peal of
mirth. There was every prospect of
rain; even Hope hid her face and
wept.
"Shan't we go. mother? exclaimed
a child of five, with passionate en-
phasis.

sBut when will it clear off?'

but never bit of blue sky gladdened
his eyes.
"Well, / do not care, MOTHER"
said he, when the tedious day had
numbered all its hours "if I haven't
seen it, I know there is some blue
sky somewhere.
The next morning there was blue
sky such as only greets us after q
storm.
"There, mother, didn't I tell you
so?" cried joyous voice, 'there is
the blue sky!" then the little head
bowed for a moment in silent thought.
ssMother," exclaimed the child,
when he again looked up, ''there
must have been blue sky yesterday,

CLIMATE.-Of all the agencies
which determine our destiny, climate
is the most potent. A climate with
sharp alterations of heat and cold,
calm and fury, rouses the elasticity
of muscle and brain. The sharp and
severe changes in the climate of our
Northern regions make that part of
our country the breeding-place of
strong, wise men. The original set
tiers Of the Carolinas were grand,
chivalrous people; the climate emas-
culated them. The climate of South
ern California fascinates visitor,
but New England family removing
to Santa Barbara undergoes curl
Gus deterioration. The children learn
less and less at school, and the adults
gradually lose their interest in ideas
and the larger movements of the
world, and fall into that personal
gossip characteristic of Southern peo-
Piles.
To our ritual We might add the fol-
lowing collect: 'sWe thank thee, o
Lord, for our rugged climate. We
thank thee that our forefathers were
led in thy good providence to the
coast of New England, where the Sc
we're climate compels sturdy, vital
manhood, and not to Southern re-
gions, where the climate INDUCES and
pampers, till the faculties fall asleep.
We thank thee for trials and strug-
giles, without which we should ever
remain idle children"
