Just expectations are valuable
things. Many people are toned up to
their best endeavors by knowing that
much is expected Of them. The desire
is strong within them that the good
opinion which some one has formed of
them should he upheld, and they make
strenuous efforts to this end. Who
ever has had much to do with children
knows how powerfully this motive
will influence them, and added years
seldom decreases its force. TO preserve
the influence, however, it is essential
that only that should he expected

The relation between the Nactican
and the Italian government are more
than ever strained. The Pope is said
te bc deeply aroused by the PROPOSE
ton of tile italian Administration to
take away from the chur II the con-
troll of the charitable endowmcntS
throughout the Kingdom. This con-
troll gives the clergy and the Pope as
their head an immonse influence over
the vast proportion of the population
more or less dependent upon charity
and the Italian government with the
aid of Parliament, is preparing to
place these charities, many of them
very wealthy, in civilian hands. OF
course this will invest vast patron
age in the government and proper
tionately weaken the priesthood. As
Crispi and his Cabinet are evidently
resolved to sever all temporalities from
the churches, he..measure will doubt

We ought not to fear to speak our
love at home. We should get all the
tenderness possible into the daily
household life. We should make the
morning good-byes, as we part at the
breakfast table, kindly enough for II
nal farewells. Many go out in the
morning who never come home a!
night; therefore, we should part, even
for 4 few hours, with kindly word,
with lingering pressure of the hand
lest we may never look again in each
others eyes. Tenderness in the home
is not 4 childish weakness, is not Il
thing to be ashamed of; it is one of
loves sacred duties. Aftectionatc en-
preston is one of the secrets of Il hap
py home-life.
