However sweet and gratifying the love o
ones own child may be, it must be admitted
| that there are too many people now to whom
! the delight OF maternal love strange be
| cause the mothers are forced to deny themseive
and little ones the luxury of love making, be
cause their needs must be supplied by the
| mother, mostly on account of an ill-advisee
| marriage.
| The franchisement of women would make
! the manageable age come later in life, giving
the faculties of either sex chance to develop
| and their emotions to become calm and strong
and not run amuek, as is now often the case.
Loyalty, yours

all. believe that teachers can be about the
happiest class in the universe if they will.
What if Tommy Brown, who comes to your
school, is about the worst boy you ever saw?
Make him better; and if you cannot worrying
over il will not s.alp it.
There is bad Tommy Brown in every school,
and If anyone has found remedy for him /
hope he will make public announcement of
it, ana help 10 raise the burden from the
shoulders of the rest Of poor US who are school
teachers.
No one ever taught school who did not have
trials to meet. but for all that we need not
think we are the only people who have cares.
/ wish to say that you, my dear fellow teachers,
will be surprised to find how much more easily
you will get through your work if you will but
find the bright amusing side OF life.
Now, will some of you write aud tell us what
you do 10 give the children outside work? Do
you give oral lessons in the sciences, like talks
about flowers. stones, bugs, etc; and do you
have literary work and teach literature to the
very smallest children? Hoping to hear from
old friends, l am, yours, loyalty

on MONEY GETTING.
It is very evident fact that a CARPENTER al
though ever 80 good one, is of no benefit to
anyone unless he has tools with which to
work.
1t is just as evident that tools, although they
may be of the finest quality, are useless in the
hands of one who does not know how to use
them.
But good tools in the hands of good work
man can be made very useful.
Just so with money. Wealth in thu hands of
person who knows how TO use it correctly can
be made very useful both to the owner and to
the community; bnt in the hands of one who
does not know how to use it rightly and does
not want to know, it is worse than useless
curse to himself and companions.
Many young men and women start out in life
trying to get money so that their powers for
doing good may be increased or in other words
intending to make Of it good tool with which
to work. But IN the great struggle for wealth
they are apt to lose sight of their first object
and henceforth they are laboriDg to secure
money not for the good there is in it, but for
the purpose of boarding it up, so that they may
see the time when they viii not have to work
But Should person do no work simply be-
cause he is wealthy? No; certainly not
=" Labor is divine ordinance. and riches can
not release one from universal law"
As workman who has full kit of tools is
able TO aud should do more work than one who
has only few, so should the rich man do more
work than the poor man.
Or course, this does not mean that he should
do more manual labor or that he should toll
for his daily bread. mo! not for his daily
bread. but in behalf Of mankind"
Othello's words, Put money in thy purse
fiji thy purse with money" is good advice if
person viii follow it honestly; j. e., if he will
fill his purse by using honest methods. Wealth
which has been acquired by honest toll is no
disgrace to anyone.
If mature has endowed one with special
capacity for acquiring wealth, the product of
that capacity, like the product of every other
form of genius is mankind's not his
Two men with equal talents, one poor and
the other rich, possess very unequal powers for
doing good. The rich man should regard his
wealth simply as reinforcement of his natu-
raj abilities, and should study and work Just as
hard in using as he did in acquiring it, But
how few do this, and how very, very many
exert every effort IN trying to obey the COM
mand:
Get money-money still;
Let Virtue follow, If she WILL
May the time come when the world will
learn that a person whose only desire is to get
money possesses very little virtue.

c. c. AND GUARD FRIENDS: The writer, &C.
eompaned by her father, mother and sister,

famous Thousand Islands, and spending a day
on the majestic st. Lawrence River. We Joined
an exca Of all young peoples organizations
from Potsdam to Clayton by rail- there boarder-
ing the magnificent steamer Empire State for a
complete tour Of the Islands.
The Empire State is the largest finest. and
fastest boat ever run on the st. Lawrence
River, having ample accommodations for 900
passengers, but we did not think that more
than half that number were present The trip
on the river took US TO Thousand Island Park
Round Island Park. jolly Oaks, Central Park,
Point Vivian, Alexandria Bay, and West
minister Park, passing Bonnie Castle, Fiddler's
Elbow, and other places Of interest, thence up
the Canadian Channel.
The boat stopped at T. /. Park, Alexandria
Bay, and half an hour at the city of Kingston
Ont, where our party with a good many others
went ashore and took the electric ears 10 see
the city.
Kingston is a beautiful city. Among the
interesting things we saw there was the Mill
tary College, barracks, and parade ground
We were on the river eight hours, and from
the decks OF the steamer we beheId beauty and
sublimity Of scenery said to be unsurpassed on
the American Continent.
There were large hotels at It. T. Park and
Alexandria Bay, while hundreds of elegant
cottages crowned good many of the islands
dotted the river that day. and we passed the
steamers st. Lawrence, Princess Louise, and
the Bon Voyage.
The Gouverneur Band accompanied the ex-
cursion and rendered excellent music during
