Have yon not been surprised sometimes' months or years after some conversation whlah you sipposed was too proioun 1 or in tricate for them to understand some qu-s-tlon of the child demonstrate 1 the faist that he knew all ahout it? Your children are apt to think that w dat you do ia right. They have no idea of truth or right eousness but vourself. Things wiiioa yon do knowing at the time to be wrong they take to be rirht. They reason this way rather always does right. Father did trs. .oereiora mis is rigr.t. - That is goo I io,-ie, but bad premise. .No one ever ku'S over having had a bad example et him. Your conduct c;ore than your teaching makes impressoa. Your laugh, your Irown your dress, your walk, your greetl ingi, your goodbye, your comings, your goings, your habits at the tahle, the tones of your voice, are making an im-press-.ou whicn will last a million years after you a-e dead, ami tne sun will be extln gaishei, and the mountaias will crumole, and the world will die, an 1 eternity will roll on in perpetual cycles, bat there will be no diminution of the forje of your conduat upon the youngeyns that saw It or theyoung ears that heard it. Now 1 would not have hv this the I, lea given to you that you must be in cold reserve iu the prvsauce of your children. You are not emperor. You are comnan.ou witn them.

Aristotle sud that a boy shout I he-'n to study at seventeen ye irs ofa". IVf. ire that h. time should he given to r-crat.on. I cannot adopt that theory. liJt th.s stig.;"gis a truth in the right direction. Onildhoo 1 is too brief, and we have mt enou -ii svmp ithy with its sportfulncss. We want iivine crace to nelp us in the adjustment of all these matters. Besides that, how are your children ever to he-tome Christians if yon yourself ure not a Christian? I have notice 1 that however worldly and sinful pi rents may be" they want their children good. When young people havo presented themselves for admission in to our membership, I have said to them, "Are vour fathar anil mother willincr vnn shall come?" And they have said, "Oh, yes . ' they are delighted to have us corse. The? , I f r"-ir7BuTThy wtTl be berenext Sabbath te )n me baptised." I nave noticed that pa. nnts, howerer worldly, want their ekildrea good. So It w.ia demonstrated in a polios eonrt in Canada, where a mother, her little eallil in hr ar m, tat by a table on which her own hsn lcnfTs lay, and the little babe took op the hanlerilTi and played with tbem an4 had KrrM Klee. 8'ie knew not the aorrow of the ! hour. And then when the mother wae aent to pr.son the mo'nwr eried out 'U God. Moot this tvie 1:0 into the jail ! Ia there not some mother here who will talcs thla ehilil? It is (rood enouirh for heaven. It ia pure. I ana bad. I nm wicked, la there not some one who will talce this child? I cm not have it tainted with the prison." Then a brazen cre-iture rushed up and a aid. 'l'ue, I'il tate the chill." " Jo t " the mother, "not too. not you.

It is bolter yon should n'ver see me aain." However worldly and sinful people are, they want thuir ohildren ffood. How are you i;oiii' to have them (jooj? liuy them a few ifoo i hook-? Teah them a few excellent (iateehisnis? Brim; them to church? Tuat is all very well, but of little tiual result unitua you do it with the (trace of Go 1 in your heart. Do you not realize that your children are started for eternity? Are they on the riijlit roa I? Thos? little forms that are now n bright and beautiful when they have ittered In the dut, there will be an im mortal spirit living on in a mighty thentre of action, and your faithfulnejis or your neglect uow is deci'tinj? that destiny. Th-re is contention already amoof minis tering spirits of salvaHon and fallen novels as to who shall have the mastery of that ira inoital spirit. Your children are soon iro- i iii- out 111 the world. Tue temptations of i ru')n "pon them. The most rigid r"solutlon will bend in the Wast of evil. Wnat will bo the result' It will require all the restraints of the gospl, nil the strength of a father's prayer, aJ I the influence of a Christian mother's ex imple to keep them. You say it is too early to bring them. Too early to bring them to Go lr Do you know how early children were taken to the ancient passover? The rule was just assoon as they could take hold of the father's hand anl walk up Mount Morhih they should be taka to the passover. Your children are not too young to come to do I. While you sit here and think of Ibotn perhaps their forms no.T so bright nil 1 beautiful vanish from you, and their dtscmiK) lied spirit rises, and you see it niter the life of virtue or crime is past, an ltho judgment U gon , an 1 eternity is hero. A Christian minister sal I that in the first year of his pastorate he tried lo persuade a young mechanic of the importance of family worship. Some time p. esse I, an J the m chanic came to the pastor's study nnl said : "l'o you remember that girlif That was my own child. She died this morniog Tery sud denly. She has gone to God, I have no doubt, but if so she has told Hun what I toil you now that child never heard a prayer in her father's house, never heard a prayer from tier father's lips. Oh, if I only had hi r back again one day to do my duty ! ' It w II be a tremendous thing at the lust day if some saalls iy ot u : "I never heard my father ray. I never heard my mother prayer."

The April Bulletin of the Mining Depart-1 - ' 1 ment of the Fennsv vania State Un to contains some interesting summaries from the advance sheets of the State mine Superintendents. A comparison of the accidents resulting from mining and railroading shows that the former is not so much more dangeror.s than the latter as it is usually considered. Out of every 509 employes in the Bi tuminous region last year, 0110 was killed; out of every 20'J, one was in jured. In the railroad employ, out of every 300, one was killed and out of every 50, one injured. Even in the deeper and more extensive mines, the average of deaths to the number em ployed is smaller than on railroads. The amount of coal produced by the State of Pennsylvania last year would give each family in the United States six tons more than enough to supply i all if it were so distributed. If loaded on cars, the train would reach one and one-half times around theglobo. The I'i'.ess Bl'keait, E. E. Sparks.

Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe had little idea, when she commenced to write "Uncle Tom's Cabin," of the Immense popularity that story woul attain. he bad written some short 6tories for a certain paper and at length In the spring of 1851 the pub lisher sent ber a check for 1100 witb the re iuest that she write another, che began with "Uncle Tom's Cabin, or Life Among; the Lowly," sending in about two columns at a time. It soon toot hold of the Northern anti slavery mind, and letters came pour ing in in praise of It. with the ex pression of the hore that it would not be soon cut short The publisher sent Mrs. Stowe another check for H00, and then another and another, and thus the reat story came Into being. When it was printed in l ook form it was sold by the hundred thousand. It is said that Mrs. Stowe received J20.000 for the wont from one publisher alone. Graceful Flattery. The Tullerles garden was made fm Louis 1 V. according to the plans of the famous French landscape gar dener, Le Notre. One day the King expressed dissatisfaction with one 01 the main avenues of the garden. The next morning lie was amazed to find the avenue just as be wanted it. The skilful and energetic gardener had chanced the direction and plan of the avenue during the night. A much more elaborate and ingen ious tribute to the King's tasle was paid by the Duke D'Antin, superin tendent of the royal buildings. Louis once remarked impatiently that he hoped that some time a forest which be had always disliked, tecau e it obstructed one of his favorite views, would be cut down. No one knew better than the Duke D'Antin how to flatter the King. Ou this occasion he combined tact and skill. Unknown to the King he had the trunks of all the trees in the ob jectionable piece of forest sawed through near the ground in sut-h a way that thev still stood, though a 6light pull would bring them down. He removed every evidence of the work, and fastened ropes to the tops of the trees, and concealed more than 1,200 men in the forest to man age the ropes at a s gnal from him. The Puke knew on what day tho King would walk in the wood, and planned bis work accordingly. The King took his accustomed promenade, and as usual, he expressed his senti ment about the hated forest. "Vour Majesty, the .orest shall bo removed whenever yuu like," said U'Antln. "Indeed," said the Kin, "then I wish that it uiighti be done at once." At tuat moment D Aiuin I. lew a shrill blast from a whistle, and to the utter uiua.emeiit of the Kitg and '.he royal party, the forest fell as if by enchantment. fetars and Storms. Much of the beauty of the stars de pends uon their scintillation. The multitudinous Hashing of tln ir tiny i rays gives a wonderful life and brillian -y to a winter's night. The great star Mrius excites the most admiration when, near the hori.on, he coruscates with rainbow hues. But the astronomer would be glad if be could put a stop to the scintillat ing of the stars. That unsteadiness of their licht is one of the chief oLc stacles he has to overcome in study ing them with the telescopo. Scintillation has geucrally been re garded as due only to slight disturb ances in the atmospnere. But as re cent observations have shown that red stars scintillate less than white ones, it has been suggested that the causes of some of th.; essential differ ences in the scintillations of dilTer ent stars may bo in the stars them selves. There is no doubt, however, that the ma n cause ol scintillation depends upon the cond tion of the air. Most people suppn e that when the 6tars appear to lose their liveliness of light, and shine without, twinkling as m nute brlgtit points in tho sky, fair weather is in prospect. Studies lately made in France and Swit er- i land seems to contradict this popular MMel it nas been fouud there that when the stars are feeble in their tri n t I I I i t Inn.- V. . . 1 .AnU 1 a. 1 a ."i-..i.i,i..iuui """".'f at- nana.

Kobert Manson, of West Rye, N. H. Where Mr. Manson is known " his word is as Rood a a hi. t .in f? ' In a recent letter to Dr. It. V". Pierce, Chief Consulting Physician to tho Invalids' Hotul and Surgical Institute, Uul falo.N. Y., Mr. Manson says : 'Dr. Pierce's Peasant Pellets are tho best pills I ever took for the liver. All niy friends say they do them the most good." This opinion is shared by every 0110 who once tries these tiny, little, sugar-coated pills, which are to be found in all medicine st-ires. The U. 8. Inspector of Immigration at Buf falo, N. Y., writes of them as follows: "From early childhood I have suffered from a slugirUh liver, with all the disorders accompanying such a condition. Doctors' prescriptions nnd patent medicines I have used in abunilance ; they only afforded tem- Krary relief. I was recommended to try r. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. I did so, tak ing two at nif(ht and one after dinner every day for two weeks. I have reduced the dose to one Pellet ' every day for two months. I have in six months tncriri t" solid flesh twenty-two pounds. I am in better health than I have been since childhood. Drowsi ness and unpleasant feelings after meals have completely disappeared." Assist nature a little now and then with a gentle laxative, or. if need be, with a more searching and cleansing cathartic, therehy removing offending matter from the stom ach and bowels, and toning up and invigo rating the liver and quickening its tardy action, and you thereby remove the cause of a multitude of distressing diseases, such as headaches, indigestion, biliousness, skip diseases, boils, carbuncles, piles, fevers and maladies too numerous to mention. If people would pay more attention to properly regulating tne action of their bow els, they would have less frequent occasion to call for their doctors' services to subdue attacks of dangerous diseases.
