And Henry Rainscroft held out his

Indignant andhurt, she turned, with
out a word, to leave the room, but,
quickly catching and retaining her
hand, he murmured sadly:
'Nettie, if you could only know how
|, too, have suffered-how | was
inveigled into that wretched marriage
you would never turn from me like
that"
II haveno doubt youhave suffered"
she returned; and that your married

never seek me again"
"Why, do you not know?-did you
not hear?" and b lookedr rather strang-

Hear what, Harry" a faint dawn

That she, my wife, died in a mad
house more than a year ago.
1t was well he was near to catch her
in his strong, loving arms, for she
would have fallen to the floor in
the sudden reaction from hopeless
grief to exquisite Joy.
Bearing herto the sofa, he whispered,
gladly:
you are mine, all mine, now"
A smile more expressive than words
was her response.

CANA and its Fearful Power of Making
Murderers of its Victims.

CANA and its Fearful Power of Making
Murderers of its Victims.
London Telegraph.
Opium and ganja are the two mar
cotics best known in the East. In the
West, fortunately, we have but little
experience ofeither. Theformer steals
away, albeit with consummate fascin-
alton, a mans intellectual energies,
and in consequence, therefore, his ply
steal energies, too The latter makes
a mad, wild beast of him, works him
up suddenly into a frenzy of maligant
purpose, reckless of his own life or the
life of others. The Indian Govern
ment, therefore, draws q wide dis
tinction between the two. Without
actually encouraging, as it has been
accused of doing, the consumption of
the poppy juice in the empire, it is con-
tent to restrict its use by limitations
On the sale. In the case ofganja, how
ever, it has positively forbidden the
drug, and the sale or purchase of it is
penal by law. Nor is this distinction
without some Justification. The opium
eater is an ~innocuous and harmless
person. He Injuries no one but him
self; he sins, perhaps, by omission, but
not by commission. The ganja eater,
IN the other hand, is invariably q law
breaker. He becomes at once a crimi-
nal. The villianous decoction seems
to have the strange power of bringing
to the surface all that is bad in its
most violent forms. Of such men
murderers and assassins are
made. In the Ghazi villages it
it 'igania'' or bang" as the different
preparations ofhemp are called, which
is used for the stimulation of the fa-
natics who arc then sent out into the
world to ''run. a-muck'' and to kill and
to be killed ssfor the faith" HAS
heesh' is another product of thesame
terrific plant, and is itself the root of
the word assassin" Drugged with
this awfi1l paste, tho slaves Of the Old
Man of the Mountain went forth into
camp and city, palace and cottage, to
take the lives prescribed by the tyrant
in the Vulture's Nest on the peaks of
Alumet. In Eastern warfare captains
have fortified their men, when courage
seemed ~faltering or the undertaking
desperate, with this ~maddening juice,
and during the Indian mutiny in 1857
and 1858 the rebel sepoys often met
our troops when intoxicated and fren-
zied with "bang."

How to Manage Children.

Esther, in the May Household, asks
how she shall manage restless child.
rem, saying she finds it more difficult
| to govern three of her own than she.
formerly found 1t to govern thirty i'm
a school room.
One great secret in managing young,
children is, keep them busy, and SO,
happy. The difficulty is In finding
for them a constant succession of in
nocent and healthful employments.
To be always saying don't" to a
young child is enough to ruin it's tenn
per. Repression long continued is in
furious to a grown person, much more
to q child.
Education (educo) is q drawing out
developing of all the good that is In
one, not the dwarting, cramping, fet-
tering system that we often see, and
which produces such miserable results.
In taking a walk the other day, my
attention was attracted by hearing
peevish, restless cries from two young
children who were playing in a door
yard not far from me. A little girl
about five years old vas pushing q
child younger III q carriage. Every
time she gave the carriage q push and
rolled it a step or two her mother or
nurse pulled her hand off from the
carriage rather rudely, saying ~ tell
you to let the carriage alone" And
then followed her cry, and in q min
ute the child's hand IA on the car
riage again trying to push it. This
