City and Country.

The city person, it is well known,
is often as much "greenhorn" in the
country as the country person is in the
city. A girl who had been accustom-
ed to certain city squares and eXclu-
sive parks, whose high-barred gates
were closed at Il fixed hour every
night, made her first visit to the coun-
try. She was being taken about
through the lanes and fields 10y her
mother, when the sun set.
"Say, Mamma. said the little girl,
"haven't we got 10 go in? What
time do they close the country, any
way?"
1t was city boy, too, who, when
taken with him by bis country cousin
while he dug some potatoes, watched
the process of unearthing the tubers
for moment with great wonder, anu
then remarked
as that where you keep your pcta-
toes? I should think it would he
more convenient to keep them in bar
rels, the way we do"
The "country greenhorn" in the
city has this advantage over the "city
greenhorn" in the country, that he
does not put OH airs of superiority on
all occasions. 1t was a city boy in the
country who, being taken to a peach
tree full of ripe and delicious fruit, and
invited to help himself, remarked,
somewhat loftily:
mo, I thank you, never eat them
until they are canned ~

ence, discouraged in confidence, and
caused to escape as soon as possible
from the parental roof.
But more than this,-parents and
teachers should bring up children in
the nurture and admunition Of the
Lord" They are born into n re-
deemed worll. They belong to Christ
from infancy, and he says, "Take
them, and train them for me-" They
should be so treated ~ to see i'm their
parents some likeness to their Heav-
cnly Father, before they can under
stand verbal teaching. They should
be so treated that the truth may he at
once received, "Likc as father pitieth
his children" and "As one whom his
mother comfOrtelh." AS Il child cam
not remember when it began to love
and obey its parents, so should he its
love to God. This may be expected if
the parents not only teach doctrine but
represent Christ. Children soon dis
cover whether parents chief aim is
to please God or to win the world ;
whether the child's nurture in Christ,
or worldly advancement, is most de-
sired. They will be more likely to
initiate what parents are, than to do
what parents say. They learn more
by what they see in them than what
they hear from them. The writer
we'll remembers, when child, over
hearing his mother in her midday re-
tirement, praying so earnestly for his

"salvation," whatever it was, so as to
give his mother what would be her
greatest delight. BY such training,
home and school will become nurseries

Making Promises to Children.

Whenever we make promise of
any sort to a child we should be sure
to take particular pains to keep our
word if possible, not thinking "Oh,
they are 50 little they will never think
of it again." or "they won't mind it,,
and some other time will do as well" "
There is nothing more sad to see than
the disappointed look that comes over
the dear little eXpectant faces over the
failure of some one to keep his word
about some long-wished for toy, or to
have to give up proposed trip, or to
have long-promised visit indefinitely
postponed.
"The children can go some other
time," or we'll, / forgot it, and that
is all there is of it," One hears these
expressions so often, and while it seems
Of so little consequence to older people,
what it really is to the waiting little
ones only those can tell who are con-
stantly with them. So much Of their
lives is spent in living hopes, ana
waiting, always waiting, for that elu-
sive some day" that never comes.
Another thing one should be careful
about is the habit of promising to pun
ish them at some future time, for if
we fail to keep our promise the effect
is ruinous in the extreme, whileff we
do keep our word, it is worse than be-
ing punished twenty times over to see
the little pleading faces, or hear the
little coaxing voices, or, if they know
coaxing will do no good, notice our
every motion for fear that the time for
punishment has come.
If L must correct them I would
rather do so at once and have it over
with, for a promise of the above sort is
much easier made than kept, and we
should remember that we, too, shall
be suppliants before Throne of mercy
and far more worthy subjects for JUS
tice than mercy, and we should try to
deal with our children rs we would
have q Heavenly Father deal with us.
But we often lose our patience when,
alas, we need it most.
When the happy holidays come we
should try to recollect every special
thing that has been looked for or
spoken Of for long months, and make
the little ones truly happy, for it really
takes very little to make them happy,
and we should also Teach them to hunt
up some other little ones whose DOv-
erty-stricken homes leave them with
out even a promise to look forward to.
In this way they will learn one of the
secrets Of true happincss-thc art OF
making others happy.-l.ahirs' Home
