Self-government with tenderness
here you have the condition of all au-
thority over children. The child must
discover in us no passion, no weakness
of which he can make use; he must feel
himself powerless to deceive or to trou-
BILE; then he will recognize in us his
natural superiors, and he will attach
special value to our kindness, because
he will respect it. The child who can
rouse in us anger, or impotence, or ex-
citement, feels himself stronger than we,
and a child only respects strength. The
mother should consider herself as her
child's sun, changeless and ever
radiant world, whittier the small, rest
less creature, quick at tears and laugh
ter, light, tickle, passionate, full of
storms, may come for fresh stores of
light, warmth and electricity, of calm
and courage. The mother represents
goodness, providence, law: that is to
say, the divinity. under that form Of
which is accessible to childhood. If She
herself is passionate she will inculcaee
in her child capricious and despotic
god, or even several discordanr gods.
The religion of child depends upon
what its father and mother are, and not
on what they say. The inner and I'M
conscious idea which guides their life is

Plan a Garden for the Children.
Love of flowers may not need cult
walton in the majority of young peo-
ple for with the most it is Unborn.
Parents, however, will make no mistake
if they employ all the means in their
these beautiful gifts of nature.
The little garden where the children
are allowed to have plot of their own
affords one of the most innocent de-
lights of childhood. The planting, the
wedding, the watching for the first
blossom, keep the whole family inter-
ested, and is the most thoroughly nat
ural and healthful pleasure a child can
have.
There is in all this sense of owner
ship, which is as unselfish as posses
sion can be, for connected with it is
usually the desire to give away the first
fruits as an offering to friendship or
charity.
The flower lover is almost always the
flower giver. and nothing is sweeter
than to see a dear child bring to the
fond mother the first blossom from my
own garden" The best and surest way
to shut out evil thoughts is to furnish
themes for good and pure and beautiful
thoughts. We cannot overestimate the
real value of flower culture for chill
dren.

(From the Rochester Herald)
NUNDA, Feb. 19.-For some time past
large Maltese cat which appeared to be
an outcast, has taken up it's abode in the
barn on Oscar Wizards premises, which
are rented by James Rogers. Mr.. Rog-
ers keeps a valuable horse in his barn,
and for several weeks he has noticed
this large cat was on very friendly terms
with the horse. 1t was a common oc-
currence when he came to the barn
mornings to find the cat perched on the
horses back, sound asleep.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Rogers was
awakened at an early hour by noise on
the outside of the door, and upon open
ing it, in came the cat. 1t would not cat
mouthful of anything, and continually
pulled at Mr.. Rogers trousers and k-It
running toward the door. It's strange
actions caused Mr.. Rogers to go to the
barn, headed by the faithful animal
There he found that his horse had been
loose in the barn, and, after doing con-
siderable damage, had fallen and be-
come wedged down, and nearly exhaust
ed by efforts to rise. After the horse had
ben helped to it's feet, the cat made one
leap and was on the horses back, purr-
ing and acting in every way as if salts
fed with it's noble deed.

drove my old horse Dobbin, full slowly
toward the town,
One beautiful spring morning. The ris-
ing sun looked down,
And saw us slowly jogging and drinking
in the balm
Of honeyed breath of clover fields. We
Kissed, in natures calm,
To chirping squirrel, and chirping bird,
the robin and the wren;
The sound of life and love and peace
came DER the fields again.
Way back behind the wagon there came
tandem bike,
A pedaling long to beat the wind; I
never saw the like;
They started blythe road was wide
old Dobbin feeling good,
The quiet calm of the morning had liv-
ened up his mood,
chased these cyclers two,
And Dobbin in his younger days was
distanced by but few.
We sped along about mile, it was a
merry chase,
But Dobbin gave it up at last, and, drop
ping from the race,
He looked at me, as if to say, "Old man
I'm in disgrace.
The horse is surely passing by, the bike
has got his place."
And all that day, while in the town, ole
Dobbin's spirits fell;
His stout old pride was broken sure;
the reason l could tell.
| But when that night we trotted bacl
from town, below the hill,
| We met two weary cyclers who waved a
us a bill
That had a big on it; and said i
would be mine
If would let them ride with us and pu
| their bike behind
And so l whistled softly, and Dobbi1
winked at me,

without q Shadow.
Perhaps some of the Juniors have
never read the story Of Peter Schlemihl,
the man without shadow" by Adal-
bert Chamisso. A good many people
who have read it do not seem to under
stand what Chamisso meant to teach by
Peter Schlemihl. 1t is an odd and
somewhat fantastic tale, and it will
amuse anybody. 1t will not hurt us to
look little into this story of "the man
without shadow"
Peter Schlemihl one day met a little
man in gray coat, who astonished him
by proposing to buy Peters shadow. He
had never heard of anyone selling his
shadow before; but as the man in the
gray coat took out funny little bag.
and told him that it would always be
found filled with gold, no matter how
many times he emptied it, Peter, after
he got over his surprise, agreed to sell
his shadow; SO the stranger in a gray
coat knelt down on the ground, rolled
Peters shadow up in neat little bun
die, put it in his pocket and handed the
little bag to Peter, and walked of with
barely suppressed chuckling.
Peter then discovered that, although
he stood in the full glare Of sunshine, he
had no shadow at all. He felt badly for

Gifts to Young Women.

The gifts which young woman may
receive from a man are somewhat limit
ed in number. Flowers, bonbOns, books
and music may be accepted. When this
rule is firmly adhered to, a girl may
have the satisfaction of knowing that
she is following one of the first princi-
pies of social law. A jewel, ring or per-
sOnal ornament should not be accepted
from any other man than the man to
whom she is engaged to be married
The earlier these rules become estah-
lished in a young girls mind, the cas- ,r
it will be for her to avoid the misurder-
standings, and to free herself frtm
troublesome perplexities.
A young girl should be as cLery of
giving presents to men who arg not rel
atives as she should be in he. corrc-
spondence with them. 1t does MT fol-
low that she is prude because she is
careful in these small proprie5ies. A
man values her more if she gives moth
ing than if she gives present. IT. she is
engaged to him, she may senl what
pleases her fancy; but If she avoids
making gifts until then, she viii: never
be a prey to regret
A bunch Of fragrant violets, box Of
handsome, long stemmed roses, are
gifts which every woman loves to re-
ceive. A pretty box containing bon
bons may later become an object of
utility in holding needlework a piece
of music tied with a ribbon, or enclosed
in a music roll, should be acceptable to

awhile, but turned to his bag and found
it full of gold pieces, with which he files
his pockets and started off, having puh
the bag in his BOSOM suspended by
cord around his neck. Pretty soon an
old woman screamed and cried to Peter:
"Sir, you have lost your shadow" He
threw some gold pieces to her and
stepped in the shadow of some trees.
Then he went on, and as he entered the
gate of the next town, he heard the SEN
tinel say: Where has the gentleman
left his shadow" He next met two
women, who shrieked: BLESSED Mary,
preserve us! That man has no shad-
owl"
So he went on. Boys ran after him,
hooting and crying: where's his shad
ow?" Everybody he met looked curl
ously at Peter and made some exclama-
ton, and he finally got desperate and
jumped into hack to get out of sight
of his critics, and was driven to hotel.
At last he shut himself up in a room
sold his conscience for gold, and he
would have then given up the bag freely
to it's former owner, if he would only
give him back his shadow. He tried to
divert his mind by taking gold pieces
out of the bag and scattering them all
over the floor. Finally he got very tired
and laid down his gold and went to
sleep. When he awoke it was night and
the moon was shining, so he ventured
out into the street, but found it so bright
that whenever he went out of the shade
of a house, people he met sneered at
him, abused him and pointed at him
because he had no shadow.
His life became miserable, of course,
and he cursed the day when he got the
little bag from the man in a gray coat
Then he tried to find him to get back
his shadow, but the man in gray coat
had disappeared, and Peter Schlemihl
became an outcast, although the bag
gave him plenty of money.
1t is very likely that Chamisso meant
to teach us that 1t is very wrong and
| terrible misfortune for any of us to
trade away for money any of our good,
| honest principles, or do for money that
which our conscience tells us is wrong.

The Boy That Laughs.
l know a funny little boy,
The happiest ever born;
His face is like beam of joy,
Although his clothes are torn.

And waited for groan,
But how he laughed. Do you suppose
He struck his funnybone?
There's sunshine in each word he
speaks,
His laugh is something grand;
It's ripples overrun his cheeks
Like waves on snowy sand.
He laughs the moment he awakes,
And till the day is done;
The schoolroom for joke he takes,
His lessons are but fun.

You cannot make him cry;

Young people who have proper ideas
of what is right and what is wrong,
often hear men talking of really wrong
things they have done to their fellow
men, as if it was very smart to do them.
A good many of these people, perhaps,
have met the man in gray coat, and
traded their shadows for his bag, which
is always filled with gold pieces. After
awhile that little bag becomes as great
a curse to them as it did to Peter
SchlemihL So it becomes to all young
people who are willing to sell their
shadows-part of their better natures,
as we may say-to make money. Let
us be content to keep our shadows and
say mo" to the man in d gray coat car
rying the little unfailing bag of gold.
There's curse in bag of gold obtained
by trading your conscience for it. You
will feel like Peter if you get so hungry
for money that you barter away even a
shadow" of your good principles, your
better nature.-The Journal.
