its convolutions. 1t was blood clot. A
plaque was held before the child's eyes,
while the rays were still being thrown on
her head. She was able to see the shadow.

MONOTONY.

No one who has not experienced mo

it troubles prisoner can conceive OF
its real terrors The thoughts, desires,
in fact, human nature itself longs for
change and that variety that serves as
the spice of life Change has magic
power to quicken interest in our aims,
purposes and hopes of life. With us,
circumscribed conditions prevent the
normal variety of life, but there is yet
a degree of change and expectancy
that gives kind of grim relish to ex-
istence. The expected arrival of a
letter or paper, the near approach of
holiday or the receipt of some trifle
are like an oasis in the desert to the
foOt.sore traveller. They come as to-
kens Of remembrance from the out
side world, and impart feeling of
pleasure and buoyancy that all outsider
can have no conception of. Prisoners,
like children are easily entertained.
What would appear as tritling and
frivolous to the freeman assumes great
Importance here. What would pass
unnoticed to them are fruitful of new
sources of thought and expectancy to
us. The slow march. of time, ever the
prisoners constant care, is his greatest
bulwark against the distress of monot

remedy for monotony is said to be

When a man boasts of his refinement,
he shows by that very act that he is not
refined, but only fastldous. True re-
finement is the expression of morality,
of good training, of good manners and
regard for the feelings Of those who
are lower in the social scale than our
selves, and as these are practiced we
become refined as natural result.

REFINEMENT.

1t is common to speak of our age as
one of refinement. No doubt we are
separated by wide gulf from the
cOarSeness of former centuries. But
when people today speak of their ''re-
finement," what is it that they mean?
Do they mean by the word true pur-
ity of mind reflected in the conduct,
language and manners, or do they
mean only fastidiousness? 1t has
been Justly said that refinement, like
modesty, consists in negatives. 1t is
not self conscious, coarse or impure.
True refinement is slow to suspect
evil. A man is not more refined than
another because he suspects the loaf
he eats, and assumes. therefore, that
the kneader was dirty fellow. On the
contrary, refinement, being clean it.
self, thinks that others are clean also,
until forcibly undeceived. 1t is only
the ignorant and conceited who are
over-nice and squeamish in their choice
of words: for the simple reason that
they seek the daintiest garment of
language in which to veil their moral
impurity. True refinement is never
for a moment perplexed to find proper
terms to express itself, because it
thinks of no improperly. For it to
think is to give utterance to its
thoughts, and to feel is to give ex'
preston to it's emotions with guile.
less simplicity, unsuspicious of ILL
natured Misrepresentation and feerless
because unconscious of the possibility
of misconstruction. There are some
persons of exceeding refinement ii
their own estimation, whose delicacy
of which they make great parade, is
only a false one. 1t is of that spuri
Gus kind which abhors plain noun sub

MENTAL CONTROL.

There was a time in the history of
the world when might made right or
rather controlled Now it would seem
that magnetic power had usurped the
rights and privileges of brute force
The claims of control by mind power,
the evident healing by the same are
two of the strongest factors in evil
dence. 1t seems from history and
present knowledge that the orator has
the best of an argument although he
may have the worst side of the case.
How different is the prOsy print from
the same thing coming from the lips
of an orator whose gesticulation and
grimaces add Zest to his speech. 1t
makes do difference as to whom the
subject of this mental force is, whether
he be great or small, educated or ig-
norant. And the person who exerts
the power may be selling looking glass
es and ribbons or may be candidate
for president of the United States.
Now what is this subtitle power which

sions. Should they rule? Is it not a
weakness that smooth words should
take the place of good reasoning, and
is not the constant use of fowery
speech, accompanied by tricks of the
stage, to be regretted as an art? Does
it not cause humanity to become the
victim of the word-juggler? Should il

I watched, in youth, funeral train move
slowly to the tomb
The solemn cortege, following death,
brought only thoughts of gloom.
1t seemed If that dead friend were mine,
and lay so still and cold,
could not live and smile again without
that friend of old.
Foo grief was another's that darkened
day.
And Heaven and peace seemed far away.
To-day I stand beside the bier, where none
shall whisper, lest
They wake loved ones final sleep, q
sweet, calm, peaceful rest.
l smile into the placid face whose lips no
secrets tell
OF terrors deep or sickening gloom and
softly say: "'Tis Well"
For grief is my own, through tears see,
That God and Heaven thus come to me.
If, in the night, an angel fair should come
to me
And say: ASK what thcI wilt at once,
it's given thee"
In silence would bow my head before her
grace,
And pray for this, that my poor life might
simply trace
The outlines Of Gods divinity.
That the faint spark of His pure love in me
might glow,
Till all the world was frightened, and its
light should show
The key to His deep, unsolved mysteries, in
the abyss
OF darkened ages lost, is found again IN
this
To know and grow the God that is with
in thee.

GUARDING THE CITADEL.
The Influence of the Home on the Child
life.

The Influence OF the Home on the Chic
Life.
1t is not easy for parents to estimate
the Importance of the home influence
in its effects upon growing character.
The charge is made not infrequently
that the spirit of reverence is dying
out, along with the strict and careful
Puritan home life. But perhaps the
spirit of the home is not such as to in
spire reverence. We should say that one
of the greatest dangers now threaten
ing our homes is that of indifference.
Where the father is buried i'll business,
and the mother is devoted to society, or
case, there is small chance for the chill
dren. 1t seems short cut, and an easy
one, out of much thought and toll, to
throw the entire education of your lit
tie boy and girl upon the kindergarten
and public school and Sunday school.
But what is school teaching your chill
dren? and, more important still, what
are schoolmates and associations teach
ing them? There is nothing that can
safely take the place of your knowing
these things, of PARENTAL counsel, and
sympathy, and control; nothing either
that can relieve parent of the respon-
sibilities of parenthood. The home in
fluence, moreover, makes for or against
the church influence. The question is
often anXiously asked: why can't I
get my son to go to church," Perhaps
because the home Christianity has not
commended the church to him. Per-
haps there must be less criticism of this
church in the home, and more of the
true church spirit and life there. Very
likely parents often bewail the loss OF
the pastors influence over their chill
drcn when they themselves have de-
stroyed it by thoughtless words of CEN
sure. The church has little hope to gain
fine children, or the home properly to
train them, where the home Christian
ity is like that which led the Scotch
boy to ask about Heaven: will feyther
be thcre?" and when assured that he
would, retort, positively: ''Then I'll
nae gang!"-Boston Waterman.
