Of coulee, there aro many excereeons to tine rule—families where the very name o "father" treems hallowed, and where his tatses and desires must be considered above all others • but, in many more families, an entirely di'fferent state of affairs exists. 1 is a fact beyond dispute that a man's family must look to him for support, comforts and pleasures and it fe right that this should be BO. But it also right that reason should be allowed to judge how far this dependence should go. I have known some families in which the position of the head of the house seemed a most unenviable one, where he appeared to be regarded merely as a money- trettine, wannsupplying machine, rand where ib was necessary for him to give so much time and thought to others, to strive to the utmost limit of his powers to gratify desires and supply requirements as to ex- clude all thought of serf and leave no time for eejoyment or rest. That this is true, is caused much by'jhabit and wrong instruetion. Children are taught from early infancy to look upon " father " as the gratiaer of all wishes and desires, and. oome to believe that it is in his power to promote the fruititn of every wish, and grant every regeest ; and as they grow this habit naturally grows with them. and stays only to be traneferred from father to bus - Inlaid, when exchanging one protector for the other, and is, in turn, transmitted to children. Thus, the evil of misunderstand- ing the rightful pesition of the father in his household grows and brings other evils in its train Fatheremccupation of "running" things keeping everything " moving," s been his so long, his position is so thoreugh- ly established and is so firmly believed in, that seldom is Ire thought of as one deserv- ing pity or extra care and attention, because ot the burdens put upon him and which are eo uncompleiningly borne ; and yet the life the average " head of the family " lives is truly not an enviable one. To feel that all family and business cares, the comfort and happiness of dependent loved cnes must rest on o'ne's shoulders, however tired or bent they may be, and to feol that nothing short of genuine helple.esnees rnust hinder one in hie labor when so much is dependin upon him, is certaiuly depressing to the lighest spirits. To those on whom no responsibility rests, life goes so smoothly on so smoc tidy as to sometimes sa.vor of the . monotonous, that we fell naturally and ran consciously into accepting and finally for- get that there is back of it all a something that keeps things moving just so, and not until that something gives (nit, stops—to its suddenly, yet as it must perforce do in time- do we realize the frail support we hare been resting on in eeeming security for 50 long. as e eo en, is www it is no secret that that reeult was mainly of A Cs eneselealed Caeadlan Problem. due to eeesnaie enermenrruan By J.

The Cunning Crow. e A late writer says, " the crow is nobody's fool," but he is sometimes his overt. He is up er to various tihrewd tricks, but occasionally he ✓ overreaches himself. A neighbor planted O o or throe acres of cern for fodder bread- s, cast and harroe-ed it in. It was a time when , orow-s gave an ueusnal amouut of trouble, and n , this veiehbor sried the repellant remedy of a , stretching a vieible cord or line across his 1 Eel I.

Here e the crop was denre and green. But if the line was only on one side he cared nothing for it, and would approach quite near and pull.up all the oorn he could field. The con- sequence was thee while the corn within the angles was safe and uninjured, nearly the whole crop was•pulled up every where else t and the ground nearly bare. No doubt he thought he had performed a very cunning trick. and showed great sagacity in making this discrimination; but if crows in other places adopt similar t ;cities the farmer may f secure his crop from their depredations with- out much trouble and expense, by stretching visible cords aercss the field, in such it manner as to inolude the crop within the anglee thus formed. He may in this way easape tlse harm which the crow would do and leave him to the useful work of devour- ing vermin and various kinds of depredators on the farm. er.t peeknotere, that Confederation has not ,tered the chest and passed along the spine been it success.
