by so doing you will retain your influence

THE sTrAIGHr AND MARROW WAY
The train was swiftly flying on,
And curled up on a seat

The train was swiftly flying on,
And curled up on seat
saw lovely little one,
Now wrapped in slumber sweet.
Her round cheek on her dimpled hand
0lowed like sweet spring rose,
Her small face, framed with golden curls,
A picture Of repoee
The conductor rassing on his way
With wonder viewed the child.
For no one there had claimed the wall
SO he said in accents mild,
As he reused the pretty sleeper.
Baby, who brought you here'
Where are you going! Come, tell me.
Now don't be frightened, dear.
Where Is your ticket, little one!
Wake up and pay your fare;
Or is this all the gold you owns
Touching her silken hair.
my farey o. yes. twas paid, you know,
BY Jesus when he died
Upon the cross long, long ago,
When he was crucified.
And no one brought me here, sir,
But, you see, wish to go
To the Celestial City,
Where mamma has gone, you know.
This road was straight and narrow,
Sol knew 'twould take me there;
Then saw your pretty carriage,
And climbed the little stair.
Here waited all alone. sir,
.Bu-, o. l didn't mind it,
said, Yes, narrow Is the way,
And few there be that find it,
When all these people crowded in
feared twas not the way,
Bat ere could get out again
Your big horse ran away;
And he's been running ever since
Ihope he's going right.
Does your road lead to heaven, sir.
Where there is no more niRhtg'
Here the conductor bowed his head,
And vainly tried to speak,
And quickly brushed away the tear
That sparkled on his cheek,
While the childish voice continued:
why, sir, when we get there
We shall never know sorrow
And never have care:
When we reach the New Jerusalem
Ill find my dear mamma.
Is there some one also that you love
Who's waiting for you therey''
Yes, yes, dear child" he answered,
And with Gods help, l say,
Ny train shall run hereafter
The straight and narrow way,
Then when you reach the city
Whose gates are made of pearl,

you'll know it by its streets of gold.
Its shining jasper wall,
The river flowing from Gods throne,
The tree of life SO tall.
And then the gates are never shut,
Because it's always day;
O, I'm so glad I've found at last
The straight and narrow wayr'
Now here the tired, tiny form
Sank ON the cushioned seat.
And soon her eyes again were sealed
In slumber calm and sweet.

Private and Public Schools.

have always been favorable to GOOD
public school system. While in many
cases public schools have been advan.
tageoSs, helPful and beneficial, they have
also boen often . hindrance to genuine,
thorough and advanced learning.
There are hundreds and thousands who
have, perhaps, learned the rudiments of
English, while at the same time there are
quite q many from the nature of the
schools and the circumstances surrounding
them, who have been compelled to b. sat-
listed with little, or no education, because
il WAS impossible to do more.
In NE inception Of the public school
system, the idea was to make them help
full to the academies Of learning. by con-
densing their work with that Of tue pri-
vate schools. But unfortunately for our
people, those. who became the bsneEciaries,
officers and teachers in the schools, instead
OF working toward tuch . desirable end,
