lNJUDlClOUS CHARITY.
How the Poor Are Psuperized by Misdl-
rected characterization.

How the Poor Are Psuperized by Misdl-
rected Humanitarianism.
He who sells all he has and gives to
the poor, if he is very badly eaten up
with the greed for money, discipline
himself in the right direction, but in
selling all he has deprived himself of
the means of self-support in sickness
and endangered the care of his family.
But all this subjective wrong might be
perpetrated to curb grasping spirit
through the loss of property. That,
however, which he had no right to
do he has done. He has pauperized
the poor. The evil inflicted upon
scores, and perhaps hundreds, is
in their lessening Of self-respect, the
cultivation of Incidence, the enfee-
bling of their already weak deter
limitations, the putting further away of
that day when the poor shall be prop
erly paid for their work, and the foster
ing of that reckless spirit: 1.-THE ,rld
owes me living, and l am going to
have it.n II the next rich man does
not sell out and distribute soon enough,
they will thirst for his riches-per-
haps for his blood. If some of his
wealth is ill-gotten, as is the case with
many rich men, they will consider it
all so. In such soil the seeds OF COM
munism grow. The advocates of an
archy and the haters of government
are found always among the poor.
Now note this most remarkable fact
that every single precept pointing to
non-resistance and self-abnegation,
while subjectively attractive, ignores
the objective and ultimate effect; that
is, they all seem to be Of benefit to the
doer, but make not an iota of discrimi-
nation as to the effect upon others;
while, in fact, as history lhas shown
and as we are now beginning to know,
both are injured; but the greatest
harm is done to the supposed bene-
tlciaries Charles w Smiley, in Popa-
T Science Monthly.

RISKY NAVIGATION.
The Dangers and Eccentrlcities of tho
Lower st. Lawrence.

The Dangers and Eccentrlcltles of tho
Lower st. Lawrence.
II the seamen OF the st. Lawrence
are exceptionally superstitious even in
this superstitious class, they have
some justification in the exceptional
dangers and eccentricities of these
waters. The river just below the Isle
dOrleans is eight miles wide-merely
the beginning of the lower st. Law
renee; in the next $50 miles it gradual
ly attains width of thirty-fve miles
at Metis; in another hundred it be-
comes about sixty miles at La Bale DIES
Sept Isles. AS matter of fact the
lower st. Lawrence is an estuary
rather than river. | presume
that the gulf may be safely
recognized at La Bale DIES Sept Isles.
1t is triangular sea, about
500 miles long from northeast to south
west, and about $50 miles wide from
Newfoundland to this bay. The region
OF the st. Lawrence has such remark
able natural features that even the
matter-of-fact reports of the Admiralty
are not without interest The naviga-
ton OF these waters presents excep-
tional difficulties; the existence Of
numerous islands, reefs, bars and rocks
in the channels; the irregularity of the
climate, especially toward the close of
the navigable season; and, above all,
the frequent fogs; these are difficulties
that may well cause much anx-
iety, and call for the exercise of all
the seaman's vigilance, prudence and
ability. Besides the record ed varia-
lions and deviations of the compass,
the magnetic attractions of the shores
are said to complicate the captains
problems. Ice is often dangerous
element here's in the spring-May in
this latitude and often June also-the
entrance and the eastern parts of the
gulf are frequently covered with drift
ice that besets vessels for many days;
icebergs are common there during the
summer, and navigation is closed by
ice, as a rule, from November 25 to
May /.
Such is the nature of the river that
ships often spend more time in sailing
up the st. Lawrence than in crossing
the Atlantic; generally they require
eight or nine days to beat up to Que
bee from Bic, 140 miles; they can sail
only during the flood, five hours, aud
then must anchor, unless the wind
changes. The clumsy coasting schoon-
ers, requiring always a fair wind,
sometimes spend month in going 60
or 80 miles.
With so many dangers as have set
forth, the reader might think that the
st. Lawrence is not navigable; but
thanks to an efficient system of light
ing and plotting, these waters are one
of the great commercial arteries of the
continent; they are frequented during
six months Of the year by several lines
of transatlantic steamships, fleet OF
Norwegian banks for timber, and q
limited number of coasting steamers
and schooners. H. F'drMkam, in

At the twinklng stars on high.

Swells the midnight melody.

In the canon dark and deep
Low breathe in Jesus ear;
"I pray the Lord my soul to keep"

Taught my baby lips to pray.

In this lonely mountain brake
Take me to her, Saviour dear,

Fainter grows the pickering light,
As each ember slowly dies;
Plaintively the birds of night
Fill the air with saddening cries,
Over me they seem to cry,
