THE OLD MEETING HOUSE.

We love the venerable house
Our fathers built 10 God.
In heaven are kept their grateful vows,
Their dust endears the sod
Here holy thoughts a light have shed
From many a radiant face,
And prayers of tender hope have spread
\ perfume through the place
And anxious hearts have pondeTed here
The mystery of life,
And PRAYED the Eternal Spirit clear
Their doubts and end their strife.
From humble tenements around
Came UP the peuslve train.
And in the church a blessing found,
Which filled their homes again.
For faith and peace and mighty love.
That from the GOdhead dow,
Showed them the light of heaven above
Springs from the life below.
They live with God. their homes are dust;
But here their children pray,
And in this fieeting lifetime trust
To find the narrow way.

then written. When written, it is
always we'll to have children read
what they write; it trains them to
criticise their own composition,
and is an aid to natural expires
sion.
Stories for reproduction furnish
excellent opportunity for CONVEX
sation. The story should be read
to the class and the pupils ques-
toned about it. Then the difficult
words may be placed on the board
to assist pupils, and the story di-
vided into forms of questions for
young pupils. Have each question
answered in complete sentence.
This is the only way to avoid long
sentences connected by "and."
Since composition deals with the
expressions of thought, the compo-
sition class is the place to develop
the thinking faculties. To awaken
and cultivate her perceptions, to
teach her to express these percep-
tons in her own simple and often
beautiful language, is the object of
composition.
The object of every exercise
should be to accomplish some part
of the training which shall fit the
pupil to comprehend, to speak and
to write her mother tongue.

Wasted Moments. "

Ruskln kept on his study table
q handsome block of chalcedony,
on which was engraved, "To-day.'
We all know people who, accord
ing to their own account, would
become great authors, orators, in.
ventors and statesmen if, they on
ly had time. But, Alas! they have
absolutely no time-not more than
two or three hours day, at most,
and what does that amount to?
Some boys will pick up an educa'
ton in the odds and ends of time,
which others carelessly throw
away, as one man saves a fortune
by small econimies, which others
disdain to practice.
What boy or girl is too busy to
get an hour a day for Improve
ment? An education that would
adorn a man of letters, or qualify
a college professor, has been Sc
cured in the fragments of leisure
that are often wasted because they
are so brief. You will never find
time for anything. If you want
time, you must make it. If the
great Gladstone CARRIED through
life a little book in his pocket lest
all unexpected spare moment slip
from his grasp, what should we,
of common abilities, not resort to,
to save the precious moments?
Some squander time. some in
vest it, some kill it. That precious
half hour day which many of us
throw away, rightly used, would
save us from the ignorance which
mortifies us, the narrowness and
pettiness which always attend too
exclusive application to our call
ing.
1t would tinge and color the day
as the drop of ruby liquid imparts
its hue to the gallon of water in
druggists globe.

HOBBY is COLLECTING FLEAS.
The Second Son of Lord Rothschild
Becomes Enamored cf
Strange Fad

The Rothschilds are all noted as
collectors of strange things, but Lord
Rothschild's second son, Charles,
prides himself on having the largest
collection of feas that was ever
brought together. This strange hob
by has been brought into notice by
the fact that some polar explorers
have just brought him a number of
tieas that live on animals within the
Arctic circle.
Every mammal and bird has a par
ticular kind of fea," he says enthu-
siastically, land very many of them
have several different kinds. SO you
see the flea affords more diverse ma
terial for a collector than any living
creature. l have feas from every
corner of the world, over 10,0l0 differ
ent varieties. Whenever an expedi-
ton is about to start for a foreign
land / engage one Of the party to col
lect specimens of fleas from every
species Of mammal and bird that il
encountered. The variety Is endless,
and it affords me as great delight to
and a new flea as any of my rela-
tives derive from securing a great
masterpiece of art"

The old Inhabitants of towns are fond
of exchanging "reminiscences of early

matters recalled was the establishment
Of its police department, relates an
eastern exchange. The force was small
in number, but one of its members was
almost giant in size-six feet four
and half inches talIand broadly built.
There CHANGED to be hitch about the
delivery of the mems uniforms, so that
only one was received promptly and
the Goliah Of the force stalked forth
in his splendor alone.
Naturally he created a sensation.
Ashe patrolled the long winding street
that ran the whole length of the place
there were many comments upon his
personal appearance, most of which
were discreetly uttered after he had
passed out of hearing. A length, how
ever, a Shambling, shabby, sly-eyed,
crack-witted ne'er-do-well stepped up
and touched the gorgeous figure on the
arm.
"Say, mister" he whispered, humbly
"tell me the safest law to break and
I'll break it-for the honor of walking

vouchsafed and the giant marched on

apparition. He gave one look, eyes
and mouth at their roundest, and hen
dashed indoors, crying to his mother:
"Oh, mamma, look! look! Is he war
or the circus?"
Even after he had become a familiar
figure to the ciizens the huge guard
ian of the peace retained some of his
impressiveness. To one prisoner al
least he so embodied the terrors Of tn G
law that the man submitted to an ar.
rest which few words of explanation
at the time could have averted When
in court, he did at length explain, the
judge inquired in establishment why
he had not done so before. Smiling
confidently at his honor the accused re-
piled:
