The Back ward Child.

The backward child may indeed be
deficient in application, not in capacl-
ty. Should this be so, arouse him,
not by a hail-storm Of nagging or a
downpour of fault-tinding, but 10y 4
system of rewards lovingly adapted to
his disposition and character. Suffer
no Encouragement to creep into yonr
heart concerning him, and do not
allow him or her to feel that there is
reason for any doubt about the reach
ing the top Of the ladder in due sea-
son. The top, mind, not the middle
rounds; any one can reach these.
Set definite aim before your child,
cultivate high and noble ideal, but
be willing to climb slowly. Haste is
at the ront of many failure, haste and
lack of thOroughness as one goes Oh.
With q tender regret for lost oppor-
lunities, who has not sometimes seen
a mature woman timid, self-conscious,
handicapped from youth to gray hairs
simply because she was "backward"
child once, aud therefore was snubbed
and ridiculed, and pushed into the
background, while her sisters and
brothers bore off the honors and were
the objects of universal estimation :?
A wrong for life was done to the lit
tie daughter, and her daughter may
perhaps suffer from the same old mis-
lake, for wrongs are far-reaching.
Be pitiful and just to the backward
child in your home.-Margaret f.
Sangster.

Respect for the Mother.

Mark the young man who is coarse
and disrespectful to his mother. No
roseate pathway can be hers who
shall sustain to him the relation of
wife. Not the happiest will be the lot
of those who shall come to be his chill
dren. Not to be envied is the neigh
borhood even i'm which he must be
reckoned as citizen. 1t does not mat
ter what the mental status of that
mother is, how old, how bent, how
decrerit, the man to whom she is
mother owes to her gentleness, kind
ness. tenderness and consideration.
Did she fall back and did the children
with superior advantages pass her in
the race? But think of her toll and
trial, her devotion and denial, her
mind and her years that she gave that
the children might derive the benefit
Think of her sacrfice-no wonder if
she fell behind, with her heart in her
home, in the buds that were hers.
There is no rank, no station, no con-
dition that may exempt u manly man
from a kind regard for his mother.

The Doll Club.

Twelve little girls formed themselves
into Il club for the purpose Of sending
dolls to poor children, The mother OF
one of these girls suggested that they
name each doll for some one who had
done good in the world. The girls
liked this plan, and they had fine
time hunting up names.
One of the biggest dolls was called
Florence Nightingale, for that good
woman who spent so much time on
battlefields and in hospitals, nursing
the sick soldiers. One of the girls
had book that told the story Of this
dear woman's life and she copied
part of this on sheets of paper, and
pinned them to the dolls dresS Then
they sent it to little girl who had a
sick mother to. nurse.
I'M Sunday school paper they found
picture of Sister Dnra. with short
account of The good work that she did.
They cut this out. and pinned it on q
doll, and named her Sister Dora, and
se,t her to another child.
When they heard Of u little cripple
who loves dearlyl0 sing hymns, they
named IL doll Fanny Crosby, and sent
ii to the littly maid, with collection
of Fanny Crosby's hymns that they
copied i'm a blank book.
They named another doll Louisa
Alcott, and sent her, with a copy of
"Little Women," to Il dear little girl
only seven years old, who minds her
younger brother and the baby all day,
while the mother goes out to work.
1t took good while for the club to
save enough money to buv Little
Women :" bnt the girls said that they
thought it would be lovely keepsake,
and Annie could read it when she got
older.
Frances Willard went to a little girl
whose father had lately signed the
temperance pledge, and with her was
Il bow OF white ribbon for the little
girl to wear.
Pansy was the prettiest Of all the
dolls, and she was sent to chubby
little four-year-old who has just begun
to go to kindergarten.

4 word About Your Boys.

Treat YOUR boys as though they
were of some importance if you would
have them manly and self-reliant.
BE careful of little courtesieS. You
cannot expect your boy to be respect
tul. thoughtful and kind unless you
first set him the example.
IF Won would have your boy make
YOU his confidaut, take an active IN
terest in all that he does. Don't oe 10"
critical, but ask for his views ana opln-
ions at all times.
Don't keep your boys in Ignorance
of things they should know. It's not
the wholesome truth, but the unWhole'
some way in which it is acquired, thaf
ruins many a young man.
Don't act as if you thought your
bov amounted to nothing, nor be con-
tinually making comparisons between
him and some neighbours son to hls
disadvantage; nothing will dlshearl-
en- him quicker.
Don't think that anything is good
enough for the boys, and that they 90
not care for nice things. Have their
rooms fitted up as nicely as possible.
Let them understand that their rooms
are to be kept in order, and the result
will justify your pains, "
Furnish your boy with good. whole,
some reading matter. Have him read
to you and with you. Discuss with
him what you read, and draw out
his opinions and thoughts upon the
subjects. Help him to think early
for himself.
Make home a pleasant place; see
to it that the boys don't have to 20
somewhere else to secure proper free
dom and congenial companionsh'p.
Take time and pains to make them
feel comfortable and contented, and
they will not want to spend their even
ings away from home. i
Pick your sons associates. See to II
that he has no friends that you DO not
know about. Take an interest in all
his troubles and pleasures, and have
him feel perfectly free to invite his
friends to the house. Take little
pains to make him and his friends
comfortable and happy in his own
home. He will not be slow to appre-
ciate your kindness.-The Mothers
Companion.

(S s. Times

Forgiving one who has wronged us
is an easier task than iorgiving one
whom we have wronged. II there be
any bitterness i'm our heart toward one
with whom we have had difference,
it is pretty certain that we ourselves
were at fault in that difference, and
that therefore we are not ready to for
get the matter even when he would he
glad to have us do so. Bitterness OF
spirit is mainly with the wrong-doer,
rather than with the one wronged.
Let us Judge our feelings toward 9TH
