Nature, the Great Teacher.

Nature is the teacher Of man the world
over. Every ne" idea, every bit of know
ledge, every original thought, is read from
her book Of wisdom. TIE person who has
an understanding mind aud wishes to he
come wise, must learn ;he lesson She teach.
es must read tLe revelation she offers, aud
live az she directs. There are greater minds
who learn the lessons from Nature readily
and thoroughly. The lesser minds, or iho.e
whose opportunities may appear to b. few
and meagre, come 10 the greater ones for
assistance IN learning the great truth, Of life
revealed IN nature. So we have our leaders
and great teachers who rse above the quih-
bles and chickering's Of life. and teach man
Kind how b live and advance We call
ourselves their disciples, and By our deeds
and the religious spirit We possess. We do
well to.earn the name of dIscIp!es.-REv.

Government pilot rule at a reasonable rate,
and require vessels to take pilot when
the master needs one. Pay the pilots a
salary, Brother Kane says, of $500 per
year; but think many Of us would like TO

think they ought to be well paid and no
doubt The rates could be reduced very much,
and be made profitable 10 all concerned with
the proper number of pilots nect ssary 10

The new land bill for Ireland now in
preparation by committee of the English
Cabinet is based upon an extension Of the
Ashbourne act. and limits tenants purchase
of land TO holdings under sixty acres. If the
commission sanc,ishs the transfer, the impe-
rial treasury will advance the amount, the
commission paving four-tifths TO the landlord
and retaining the other fifth until the ten
ants annual instsllments amount TO one fifth
of th. stipulated sum. Tenants repsyments
shall extend over 80 years with interest at 4
per cent per anDum, as in Ashbournes act.
This will require the guarantee Of Sl2j O00.-

Columbus at Guanahani.

Those who have contemplated the eigh-
teen years of perseveringfhut .fruitless ef-
forts which Columbus devoted to his ggan-
tic enterprise. must have some faint realiza-
tion of his feelings on the morning Of the
twelfth of October, 1892, shen he beheld in
the clear light of day the limpid rivnlets
and exuberant foliage Of the beautiful is
land OF Guanahani. Columbus must have
felt as he gazed on the scene that this glori-
Gus consummation of hlsslabors formed a
new era in the history of mankind. His
hand had torn away the veil which had
shrouded the mysterious waste Of waters be-
tween him and his native shores, and thus
a new world would be disclosed to the as
tonished eyes of Europe. Was it any won
der then that on reaching the shore he
kneeled aud kissed the ground?
