they amount to, and then look around and see if
something can not be sold from the farm to wipe

farm itself might be made to do better service in
this way than it has ever done before If not bor-

And clasp yet closer when feign to go
Trusting in mother-love to guide Alright
In mother-love to shield from every foe
Would could hold thee thus throughout thy life !,
When dangers threatens near protect, defend;
Tendery comfort thee in every fear;
Love thee and cheer thee to thy journeys end.
Too the speeding years will give thee strength
To reach for joys in which have no part;
Anothers touch must soothe thy discomfort
Another love than mine wilt fill thine heart
Yet such is mother-love l ask no more
Than thy full happiness in all to see;
Unworthy of the great good name bear,
If thought of self could come twixt me and thee
But in the golden present thou art mime
For me alone thy smile, thy loving kiss;
Let separation in the future hide,
To hold thy trusting, little hands is bliss!

PROTECTION In GERMANY.

Perhaps some OF our German
friends are hesitating in their posi-
ton on the tariff question and il mag
interest them to read Bismarck's
opinion of protection. On the llth
of May, 1852, he made the following
utterances In the Reischtag:-
The success of the United States
in material development is the most
illnstrious Of modern times. The
American nation has not only sue
cessfully borne and suppressed the
most gigantic and expensive war OF
all history, but Immediately after.

could arrive within its territory, and

rect as not to be perceived, much
less felt. Because il is my deliber.
ate judgment that the prosperity Of
America is mainly due to its system
of protective laws, l urge that Ger.
many has now reached that point
where it is necessary to initiate the
tariff system of the United States.

don, not for the sake of fashion, but
for practical end. He knew that the
soldiers of India, when they enconnt-
cred their foes, had the habit of
grasping them by the beard, and so
ordered his officers to shave. After.
wards shaving was practiced in the
Macedonian army, and then among
Greek citizens. The Romans imi.
tated the Greeks in the practice, as
they did in many other things, and
spread it to the different European
nations yet barbaric. In the middle
ages, at the time of the renaissance,
shaving was introduced, and the
habit was retained. though classic.

that in its turn was replaced hy

The beard was a source OF trouble

LOVING THE BABY.

Young mothers are often told not
to make idols of their babies, but are
seldom warned against not loving
them enough; and yet many child.
rem after their earliest babyhood
have their loving little hearts starv.
ed and their sweet natures pervert.
ed, for want Of an absorbing mother
love. Mothers lavish care on their
children and look after their practl.
cal wants, but for want of having
had their own love nature develop.
ed, shrink from making any other
demonstration oftheir affection. The
rosy checked lad whose mother
never fails to see that he is property
mittened and coated before he starts
to school wonld often far rather have
his heart warmed by a mothers kiss
than to have his body warmed by
her care. Don't be afraid of loving
the little ones too much. can often
ward off a tit of impatience or sulks
in my lad OF five by calling him to
my side and spending few mo.
ments in caressing him. No matter
how busy | am at the moment. |
feel more than rewarded by his little
loving epithets. never forget that
the Angel of Death may be standing
within my gates waiting to snatch
my treasure. When the sunlight
has gone out of your life, when the
naughty hands that yesterday seem.
ed so troublesome are forever at rest,
and the little tongue that once near
" drove you frantic with its ques.
tions is silenced and can never lisp
your name, it will be too late to
show the love you would then give
your life to express. Love your
children, mothers. Don't be afraid
of loving them 0ver.much they were
made to be loved. But love doesn't
mean injudiclous indulgence. Am.
erican children are proverbially dis.
respectful to their parents. This ar.
CUES a weakness in their home rule,
but not by any means an excessive
love. To allow a child to grow up
poor for want of wise teaching is
mistaken kindness, or rather it is
not kindness at all. A boy whose
mother has been weak in her man
agement of him will be apt, not only
to have little affection for her, but
to have that little mixed with con,
tempt. 1t is to the home life that
we must look to so surround child
with gentle influences and kindly
courtesy that a rude word shall be
impossible to him.-Mrs. Alice Gold.
