Nearly Lost Saturday.


Saturday Ham Cherry arose in the
morning, took bath, put on his black
suit, and after breakfast occupied him
self reading sacred books. He told
his folks that as it was so far to church,
and as the off horse had CALLED his
shoulder ploughing, he guessed he
would not drive thither. Everything
was quiet and peaceable about, and
Ham was glad there was day left for
man to rest and recuperate. But just
after late dinner ncighbor came
along with load of hay. Ham stepped
to the door and called out:
''How is this, John, that you are
working to day? You should 90 to
meeting"
'.Hain't got no time to 60 to meet
ing on week days." answered John.
SUNDAY is all the time can spare for
church going.'
The man then drove on. Cherry
stood and scratched his head medi-
tatively few moments, and then en-
tered the house. He told his wife to
take a pencil and check off the days.

"Yes.'

day put up that fence down in the

In just ten minutes after the above con-
versation Ham Cherry was holding up
the whiffletree with one hand and
driving his team down the lane toward
the field on sharp trot.

Parental Education BY Sympathy.

1Ux0uCN1 1OUC8C1On by Sy1npS4C0ys
Perhaps in no other part of his work
does Goethe show more clearly his keen
and careful observation of character
than in the description of the change
produced in Wilhelm Meister by his as
sociation with his child. He represents
Wilhelm as viewing his farms and build
ing with new interest, and as zealously
contemplating repair of what had long
been neglected. "He no longer looked
upon the world with the eyes of bird
of passage; everything that he proposed
commencing was to be completed for
his boy. In this sense his apprentice
ship was ended; with the feeling of a
father he had acquired all the virtues
of citizen" To Wilhelm it seemed
as if the observation of his child gave
him his first clear view of human
nature; the questions little Felix asked
Of him stimulated him to further
achievements. Thus the best part of
true education resulted from studies
begun in the interest of the child.
The new world which opens before all
parents was to him the subject for the
deepest thought, and his life was
broadened and frightened by close
study of the child.
1t is a thought full of suggestiveness
that the experiences and benefits which
came to Wilhelm through the child
might come to all parents, and that
just in proportion as they are in SYM
patty with the children are their own
lives made richer. If every father felt
the duties of good citizenship in re-
lation to his sons and daughters, then
the world might truely be better for
each child born into it.-Babyhood.
