Intercourse with the Young

Should be conducted with great care.
We should never forgot, though we
sometimes do, that the young are very
observant. II is common saying that
little pitchers have big ears )" it is
lust as true that children and Young
people have keen and observant eyes.
An indelicate remark may stain the
heart of the young and be the beginning
of evils Of unimagined magnitude.
Slovenliness of speech may seem to
justify the use Of the coarse expressions
of the school of "slang )" rough and
censorious speech of the absent may
lay the foundation of a rude and bitter
manner which may be the bane of q
life. The young think it manly to do
what men DO a man should, therefore,
always set an example worthy Of
imitation. A principle of conduct
perhaps seldom becomes q ccntroll.
ing law of the life till 1t Is seen illus
trated in some living examples.
We should adopt right principles
for the government of our lives
and should illustrate these, and these
only, in our daily conversation. An
other remark deserves to be made, In
our intercourse With the young we
should be careful to utter no word and
to do nothing which would wound
the susceptible heart of child or youth.
We sometimes act towards the young as
We would not towards those our equals
in age, and under the mistaken impress
sion that either the child will not no
tice or soon forget the rough word or
deed. But there are men and women
of to-day who remember the rough
treatment received In childhood, and
who have never ceased to discount the
character of the person who was cap
pable of the unkindneess. For every
idle word we must account, and this
whether the person to whom 1t was
spoken was mature or ofthe tender age
Of childhood. Be gentle! Be courte-

Central Methodist.)

1t was one of the sayings of Rev.
James Stalker, d. D., that religion
should be to every mau mot merely
q creed, hut all experience not res
traint, but an inspiration not an In
surenee for the next world, but pro-
gramme for the present world"
Quite too many people think of the re-
ligious life with reference to the fu-
ture, leaving the present to take care OF
itsele, which shows clear misappre-
hensiou of the Bible teaching at this
point. If q mans religion does not
make him better in all the relations OF
life and all about him better by reason
of his influence and Christian labors,
his profession is a sham. his religion
vain, and in the end will profit him
nothing.

THE Golden Rule sizes up the Euro
pean situation in following burning
words. IL does seem to US that the
Christians Of the world are responsible
for this state Of affairs. 1t says:
Men are fond Of fcongratulating them
selves nowadays on the fact that for
many years there has been no great
war. They speak as If the reign war
were over and the reign Of peace begun.
The fact of the case is that within the
lifetime Of any young man now Of age,
many great wars have been carried on,
to all intents and purposes. The pres
ent armed peace Of Europe and its
standing preparations for war do not
need to be long continued before they
virtually amo1nt to very serious war
indeed. This armed peace costs con-
tinental Europe alone S7C0, 600, 600 q
year in taxes. Railways in these coun-
tries, built by the state purely for mill
tary purposes, and earning an income
that gives almost no return on the in
vestment, have cost over $500 OO0, 600.
State telegraph lines, mainly acquired
for the purposes of war, have cost $50,
O00, 1000, and ornaments have cost So,
100000, 600. Does not all this amount
to the cost of several great wars within
the last twenty years? "But mems
lives are no longer lost," 1t Is urged,
land widows and orphans are no longer
made by the thousands. Let us be
thankful for that" But in saying
this men forgot the millions of their
fellow-bsings forced from their homes
at the period of life most valuable to
them and to those dependent on them,
and compelled to engage for three or
four years in an occupation that Is not
only useless, but destructive of habits
of industry and nobility of character
AN occupation, too, that is un-Chris-
tian, save when required::by the stern
eat necessity. Even In mems lives
and in ruined homes the loss of the
last twenty years from this cause has
amounted to more than one great war.
No; cruel, iniquitous war has been
raging in Europe for many years past,
and Is raging to-day. When will the
nations make treaty of peace?

Protect the OriOIe.

On tree close by the chamber win
dow of friend of ours in Brighton ap-
peared the other day large nest of
caterpillars, which as soon as the
weather cleared must be destroyed.
Early the next morning a jubilant
bird song was heard by our friend
near her chamber window, and look
ing out she found an oriole golden
robin) eating caterpillars and singing
its song Of Thanksgiving.
The oriole rendered better service
in destroying that nest Of caterpillars
than 1t could have rendered on q
lady's hat.
It is said that if all the birds were
destroyed the increase of insects would
become 80 great that every form of
human and animal life would perish
from the earth.

The Census Bureau, with all the
rest of its work, has been attempting
to ascertain the value of the carp
which have been introduced into
American waters. A writer in the
Boston Transcript says:
One man, to whom schedule was
submitted, replied that the carp In his
pond had been worth q thousand dol
lars to him in the past six months.
His wife had been sick, and he had
fed her exclusively upon carp, to which
diet he attributed her recovery.
She was worth a thousand dollars. at
least, and therefore he estimated his
gain Oh his Investment at that sum.

get something to eat.

BIG BROTHER TO THE RESCUE
Happy Ending of IA Runaway Match
In Toronto High Life.

1t IL not often that a big brother aids
his clipping sister to wed the man of her
choice, but such case has just come to
light in this city.
Last Sunday morning Miss Alice
Maude Dixon first set her dainty foot
In New York. She IS tall. queenly
young woman OF twenty-one Summers
and she has a mind of her own. She
came here because her father, John Dix
on, millionaire carriage manufacturer
OF Toronto, would not sanction her mar.
rage TO Benjamin +. Eberts. of this
city, travelling salesman for New
York perfumery house. Instead, her
father insisted that she marry a To.
ronto millionaire. Finding him inexor.
able, Miss Dixon quickly came to this
city and placed herself under the pro.
lection of friends uptown.
The irate father at once conferred Will,
his eldest son, John Nixon, a prominent
broker OF Toronto. John is married him
self and IL young enough to feel a
throb of sympathy for true love. The
only objection to young Ebert was that
he lacked riches.
John scratched his head, stood the old
man on and telegraphed to Ebert: II
not married. walt. Am coming on"
And he did come on, and gave away
the bride AT Grace Church on Thursday
evening. the Rev. DR.. Huntington Off
ciating. A wedding supper followed a.
the home Of Mr.. and Mrs Elmer z
Ross. SO East Tenth street.
Later the young couple went to Ions
Branch, and the jolly, big brother re-
turned to pacify his father.

Mother" incredulously cried her
father. "Why. you couldn't get her. Off
this farm for anything In the world"
Guess ma never spent a night away
from home in all her life." said Fred

years ago l went to Norwich TO visit
Sues folks. Stayed two days and two
nights, and you couldn't get me to leave

What did tell you?" said Mr.. Good

"Oh, WELL" said Jeanette, Aunt
Sue was sick. and she went to help her.
Ma doesn't know what 1t is TO go off
and do nothing but rest"
well, I don't know as l want to,
either" said mother. I'D have just so
much more TO do when l got back"
A little later Jeanette went out In the
field where her father and Fred were at
work and told them Of a little plan that
she had been thinking about for some
time. Her father smiled increduloualy.
1t couldn't be done" he said. She
wouldn't go. Even II she would.
'twouldn't pay. Twenty-Five dollars for
a single week. l couldn't afford it,"
Besides. 'twouldn't do mother any
good" said Fred, loftily. She'd be
misera BILE all the time she was gone"
But you don't understand" protest ed
Jeanette. Mother has never known
what 1t was to be free from care for a
single night. Whenever she has been
visiting. il has been to help somebody
else. See how worn she looks? The
things that MI us with interest and en-
thuslasm she cares nothing for It's be-
cause her mind Is so tired, with never
any change in her life. one set nf nerves

away for . good rest" .........

that he passed no one through the yard

no accident Of that character has been
