The GOvernhaent-finds it inexpedient to receive a less amount than a shilling on. depesit. So cards are given , , upon which can be stuck as the depositor can purchase; penny postage stamps. When he has twelve stamps he hands in his card and receives a certificate of a shilling deposit, and thus opens an ac- count, to which the probabilities are that he will continue to add and thus lay the !foundation of a small capital and inture advancement. These are Prof. Fawcett's • • "thrift cards" and pet institution. The number ofuc,connts remainiug open at the close of -the year show an increase of 252,- 000 depositors over blast year, and the amount due depositors, exclusive of Gov- ernment • stock, shows an increage over Ilia's year of I:3,000,000 sterling. In ,Ire - laud the total amount -.due depositors at the end of the year is almost $10,000,000. These figures tell volumes Of good done by the system, not only of material gain, but of habit§ of thrift, -temperance, and in- dustry taught to' men and children by the stretched -out, hopeful hand •of the postal savings bank. A Halifax Tory joiarnal proves Sir Hector Langevin's recent staternent about the Dominion Government and the Sav- ings 13ank deposits to be all bosh. The accountant of the Government Savings B.apk in that. city tells the Herald that the people of the better class now .prefer investing enorineus sums in thesavings banks instead of in the chartered banks. •Being asked the reason, he said it was be- cause the chartered banks only pay three per cent. interest, while the savings banks pay 4 per cent. • This is.a,s we have always contended. The increase in the' savings bank deposits is no proof that the policy of high taxation ineseaaes the savings of .the working classes. P; is rather a proof, as an officer of the Government points-. out to our Tory contemporary, that pro- fitable investments for the money of the rich are not offering, that the chartered banks will net handle these funds -except at 1 per cent. less than that offered by the Government, therefore the Dominion savings, banks have had their deposits vastly increased during the last few years. No amount of sophistry can get over these facts. ' -TOE DiSFUTER, BOCNBA:ItY•-• 1, We clip the -following frona the Mon- ' treat Joafrifet- of Commerce, which is edited by Sir Francis Hineks,' one. of the arbitrators in the Ontario Award.. and if this paragraph does not convince all of the right of Ontario to the whole territory nothing will. "The news from Rat Portage is alarming, and urfortunate- ly it is rather difficult owing to the con- flicting accounts in • the political party organsi to know precisely the merits of the controversy. It is, however, sufficient- ly clear that a grave error was committed when the Dominion Parliament, at the instance of the Government, gave Mani- toba an interest in the territory which was known to be claimed by Ontario, and ongrounds that were at least entitled to weight. The defenders of the- action., of the Dominion Government have been per- sistent in.their assertiOiss that the arbi- trators had admitted that there were doubts on the subjeet of thea boundary, but they are or ought to be well aware that on the subject of the Western Boun- dary there was no doubt whatever, and that it was established in accordance:With Acts of Parliament- and treaties. • If has never been pretended that any boundary was establishecton the Nerth except that of the Hudson Bay Company's territories, the limits of which had been a constant subject of dispute between Great Britain and France during a long period of years. and was never defined. The arbitrators were appointed to determine the bound- . arms by both Governments, and it is • ne- cessary, owing, to the persistent state - that Mr. 111ackenzie intended to -anent or rejeet-the award -it his pleasure, - to point out that both Governments pledged themselves by orders in Council to abide by the award. Whatever may be said regarding the Northern Boundary, i•-can,hot be denied that, as regards the 1Vestern,there are sufficient data on which to foim a conclasive opon."

AMONG THE CHILDREN In our rambles there was one otheracene. , , • presented to us which wecannot passOver. . , , INTERVIENVING THE LITTLE ONES • INC THEIR HOLIDAYS. ' Get put of my way! what are you good for ?" said a dross old man to al little bright-eyed urchin who happened to tanc.1 in his way. ., - " They make men of suet). as we are," said the little fellow -as he stepped to one side, • Whaa truths these little ones teach as every once in a while by their cute rea Marks? :There is more wisdom in half -a dozen sentences from children than in the pretended sage remarks of numerous old wise -acres. We started out a few days ago to pay. a visit to the haunts of child- ren -during their vacation, and listen to the remarks they might make, and so in- teresiing and instructive has our note- book -become that we venture to give its contents to our readers. 'We first betook ourselves tosthe street in the rear of the Model School, sv.hare we found is dozen .boys ranging from 8 to 15 years old play- inF, Well boys," we said, " what are the lateat slang phrases." " You're too -previous," yelled one little 'fellow with curly hair. aaars " Do'you catch 118-1d," shouted another about three feet high. To go through the vocabulary of boy talk would take too nruoh space. It ex- hibits in a wonderful measure the Versa- tility of the English language. Among the other boys were Willie, and Toni who seemed. toile likely to give a pretty lively account of what was going ,on generally, and with 'thenaselves in par- ticular during their holiday times," and these we selected for an interview. We. learned first that their amusements were fishing, swim ming,berry pick ing,ball play- ing, hide and go seek, duck on the rock', and a lot of other games equally as fasei- nating. • " SoineabOys" these two ',said synipatheti6ally,' " had to weed the :gar- den, saw wood and carry water, which was too bad in vacation." • You, don't know how many tongues have,"•said Willie. "Only one". we guessed, " the same as • °111"eiNof°.'1'krse.;lied Willie with a knowing grin; "I have three, one in my head and two in my shoes." r What kind of a man t he be who would not laugh at such aajoke.. It is on a par with the little stiff's answer to his father's question .as to how he got along at school. • ; • " 011, Very well, I've got so I can turn a. summersault without putting my head. to She ground, and I' can stand on my head without putting my foot against a tree." We questioned these two boys about their Sunday Schools and what they.learn- " Can you tell as something about St. Peter r we put as a, simple question.

In a little cottage over whose front ran ap a beautiful leafy vine lay the little f.ellow—Bantvathaalsapy_a_c_allslamfog nick mai/le—ill, and perhaps never to get better, The small hands have 'become weak and thin, the sparkling blue eyes are dimmed, the round rosy cheeks are pale and hollow, - and the little body is only a shadow. Poor Banty. How often has he played with the boys whose merry voices DOW float in to him through the open window. Will he ever mingle in their sPorts again ? what matters it, for are not the streets of the New Jerusalem full of boys and girls play- ing therein. "Would you be afraid Banty, to die if God -thought fit not to let you get better?" we asked the wee sufferer. "No, nota bit" Was his prompt reply. If I am to die God will send his chariot for me and why should 1 be afraid when he drives." •• Iivat"nrany, as we listen tothe boy, in broken sobs, talking to Lis do our minds travel back- to that touching scene in Dickens' _Bleak Houge—the death of poor neglected little Jo. The dying boy says to the good man who watches by his bed— "It is turned very dark, Sir, is thernany light a-cornin?" "It is coming fast, Jo." Then after a few minutes— - "Jo, my poor fellow!" "I hear you, Sir, in the dark ; but Pm a gropin', a gropin'. Let me catch hold of your hand," "Jo, can you say what I say ?" "Ill say any thing as you say, Sir; for I know it's good." - - "Our Father , "Our Father; yes that's very good Sir." "Which art in Heaven" "Art in Heaven.

Moulded by childish hands, our hearts grow fit for heaven. It is a great thing to :be chihlren when our lives are scarred with the troubles and mysteries of the world. It is a great thing to be children when the billows of adversity have almost overwhelmed us and we are ready to give up. It is a great thing to be children when coming in penitenee, in trust, in confidence to God. It is a great thing_to_ be children when we are old and our hair gray. It'is agreat thing to be childaen when the hand of death steals in apace and we feel the first flush of the breezes fliom the shores of eternity.
