FRIENDS IN HEAVEN.

A brown haired, blue-eyed wee one,
Grown weary, and tired of pay,
Climbed up on my knee to ask me
In her simple, childish way:
.Haye you any friends in Heaven,
That you sometimes want to seeY'
Can you guess how the question thrilled me
Like minor melody?
1 thought, as I sat in the twilight,
With that wee one on my knee,
OF my little blue-eyed baby
Whose summers numbered three:
She went from my arms TO heaven
One spring-time years ago,
And left in my heart that sorrow
That only mothers know.
I thought how the baby's father
Grew lonesome, and longed to hold
Once more on his breast our baby
With hair of sunset gold.
And one summer eve he left me
To search for our baby of three.
And know full well he found her,
But he never came back to be.
Do ever want to see them?
OH child OF the violet eyes,
My heart has gone on before me
To the hills of Paradise.
Some day shall feel their kisses
Drop balm on my weary heart,
Mine only, and mine forever,
Though earth and Heaven apart.

school, AND CHURCH.

The Christian (Campellite) Church
in Kentucky is to establish theological
seminary for the education of colored
students.
Porter Sherman, who entered Yale
College in 1861 and remained three
years, recently returned, after an alb
sence Of twenty years. to complete his
course.
Was John B. Cough right or wrong
when he said recently that "a church

getting drunk, when it does not disci-
pline him for drinking?"--N Y. o.

Many women school teachers in
Massachusetts receive only four or five
dollars week. The explanation may
be that Massachusetts has obtained all
the knowledge that is to be had, and
that, therefore, the occupation of the
school teacher is departing.-Current
Lorenzo Dow preached once from
the text of st. Paul: II can do all
things" "No, Paul." he said, you're
wrong for once. "Tll bet you FIVE
dollars you can't" and he took five
dollar bill from his pocket and laid it
on his desk. He continued to read.

During 1886 the Methodists of
South Australia will celebrate the
jubilee of the introduction of Methodism
into that part of the continent. They
have in South Australia 336 churches
and preaching places, seventy-fve min
listers and 1913 local preachers, 1929
members and $4,000 attendants. A
jubilee fund of $500. 900 is to be raised
to pay off church debts and start .
woman's college.
Our own recollections of school
days recall none of more profit than
those spent under the guidance of sem
sible, motherly, Christian women, who
set their pupils tasks in good text
books, and then took pains to see that
the meaning, not the mere language,
was well mastered without too much
aid from more developed minds. This
any teacher fit to teach at all will see
to, and we doubt whether the expe-
rience of Normal School graduates so
far will not go far to show that artifi-
cial and technical equipments and
methods are quite as often hindrance
as help to successful teaching-Bos-
ton IravelIer.
There is no end to the funny things
that are seen and heard by the teachers
in our public schools. Once teacher
observed huge blot of ink on boys

manded. "Sure, think it's a tear,
SIR" "A tearl How could tear be

comfort of children who know what it
is to be clustered" this is the laugh
able reply of very bright and accom-
plished lady teacher who was passing

ology: where is the alimentary

Iron Jewelry.

We read that iron jewelry is being
extensively worn, and that one knows
not which most to admire, the elegance
OF the finished work, the skill of the
molder or the fine quality of the metal
that may be induced to assume such
elaborate forms. Soma of the articles,
as breaches, have beauty of network
almost rivaling Italian filigree in gold,
yet it is nothing but cast iron. The
polish is perfect and NOT easily furnished,
even when exposed to the action of the
carbonic acid of a crowded, ill-venti-
lated room. The luster is a clear,
blush, almost transparent sheen, from
which the light is reflected as from the
diamond. The polishing of the facets is
performed upon an ordinary buff-wheel
dressed with crocus. --Irop Age.

The following summary will be of in.
terest to those who wish to compare
the relative density of the population
in different countries in Europe and
America. The number of inhabitants
given is that occupying square kilo-
meter, which is about SO of square
mile.
In Europe, Belgium is the mos,
densely populated country, and in
America, Chill. The mean density of
the population by countries is thirty
two inhabitants to the square kilometer
in Europe. Doubtless the limited ex-
tent of territory in Chill give it the ad-
vantage OF more dense population,
because there is little waste territory.
