Never Sorry.

Not long ago the writer asked class
of small boys in Sunday-school what
was their idea of heaven. 1t was curl
Gus to note how their replies were i'll
fuenced by their own circumstances
in this life. A ragged little urchin,
who had been born and brought up in
a squalid city street, said it was all
grass and green trees" One from the
richer quarter of Boston said it was
like a big, broad avenue, with tall
houses each side. A Asweet-voiced Epis-
eopal choir-boy was of the opinion that
people would sing good deal in heav-
en-. The last member of the class, a
quiet, thoughtful boy, though one OF
the smallest in the class, answered,
just as the bell was ringing for the close
of school hours, IA place where
where-you're never sor7y."

A Pillow.

"How many children have you?"
asked a gentleman of friend whom
he met after parting of many years.
"Only one" Unanswered, "a pillow"
IA pillow?" inquiringly.
eyes," smiling, "a pillow is some
thing to rest on, is it not?"
Certainly"
"Well, that is why I call my little
daughter a pillow, she's so restful."
The gentleman soon reached the
home of the father of the "pillow,"
and a lovely young girl of about six
teen years old was introduced as "my
daughter, Emily" The visitor only
remained one night, but by the time
he left, he had fully decided that his
friends young daughter inherited the
sobriquet given her. The smiling face
with which she greeted her father and
her fathers friend won the latter's
heart at once. In gentle, quiet way.
she brought the evening paper and
laid it open at the page he always reads
first, on the table near her father. His
slippers and dressing-gown were
brought, too, and she was rewarded
with a fond kiss and whispered,
"Thank you, dear" Later in the
evening, when her father expressed
a desire that she should sing some
thing for his friend, she did not refuse,
but did the best she could with grace
and sweetness indescribable. A little
bell tinkled once, and Emily left the
room hastily.
"My wife is sick this evening; she is
avictim to nervous-headaches," ex.
planned the host. II hardly know
what she would do at such times if it
were not for Emily the child is born
nurse"
The hostess, free from her headache,
but looking pale and weary, came down
to breakfast next morning. She sat at
her usual place-the head of the table
and poured out the coffee. But
Emily was near at hand, and it was
she who relieved her mother by put
ting the cream and sugar in the cups,
and passing them. It was she, too,
who dished the oatmeal in q neat and
dainty way that was charming.
A pink-tinted rosebud, with a gera-
mum leaf, lay at each of the three
plates. The father lifted his to inhale
the fragrance, smiling his thanks.
"-Nhere is yours?" he asked.
"There were only three this morn
ing" she said brightly, II shall have
the next one."
After breakfast, as the guest fingered
for a few moments in the sitting room
waiting for his friend to accompany
him down town, he heard Emily's
voice say in low tone of entreaty,
"Now, mamma, go and lie down.

Stop the Beginnings.

There is Latin maxim which, rent
dered into English, means "Stop the
Beginnings" 1t contains volume of
good advice. A few days ago minis
ter told me he was preparing notes on
the Proverbs of Solomon, and had jus
reached the most important verse in
the book, "Train up child in the way
he should CO."
"Stop the Beginnings" would be a
good note for him to make to that
verse.
We have in this State a Reform
School, to which vicious boys and girls
are sent by courts and magistrates.
Among the inmates are good many
who have been committed as 'incorri-
gible." They are very young, ranging
in age from seven to twelve years.
Their parents alege that they are un-
able to control them, and they are sent
to the Refuge in the hope that they
will be reformed. The beginnings OF
evil were not stopped, and now the
restrain OF the law have to be brought
in to check them.
In many homes there are notices on
the walls, appropriate to the home life
"stop the Beginnings" would be a
good one to put up in the nursery.
Many a good citizen would be saved
to the State if the tendency to evil
habits were checked in early child
hood.
A minister passing through one OF
the wards of a hospital came to cotton
which young man was dying.
= "Can I do anything for you?" he
asked. With look of agony in his
face, the young man said, "Oh, sir, can
you undo?n The beginnings of evil
had been unchecked, and wasted life
was the sad result.
The maxim "It is never too late to
mendn is often quoted in regard to
breaking off from evil habits. Would
it not be better for those to whom is
committed the responsible duty of
training children, to adopt this max
i'm: "It is never too early to begin ?"
I once read the story of a good woman
whose husband was an outspoken inf
del. AS her children grew up, one af-
ter another came into the Church. A
friend asked her what means she had
used in their training to neutralize the
influence of their infidel father.
"Well," she replied, II never argued
with him, nor belittled him in the eyes
of the children. But never allowed
them to 60 to bed without reading a
few verses of something the Saviour
had said. put His words over against
the words of men,"
Parents frequently say about some
bad habit of child, "Oh, he will out
grow it," Perhaps grace may come in
by-and-by to change the heart and
mould the life, but it is dangerous to
rely upon a child's outgrowing evil
habits. The natural tendency of such
habits is to grow with the growth.
When the child comes to years of ma
turity, and is ready to assume the re-
sponsible duties of life, it will be pleas
ant for the parent to be able to say,
II have taught thee in the way of wis
dom; T have led thee in right paths" I"
