He had a diary given him last Christmas by some well•meaning friends, who also gave him a brief description of its use. Ted tried most conscientiously, but in vain, to "keep" it ; nothing ever "took place" with him worthy of note, He ate bis meals, and he went to school, one day as another. So it is not surpris- ing that before the middle of February Ted's diary -keeping had come to an end, and the book was looked up in the safe in his fatber'e office to await more stirring times, or the fuller development of in- vention in its owner. A few mornings before formally aban- doning it he said to Harry, his cousin and friend, "To -night I am going to write in my diary -book everything the teacher says to me to -day, just every little thing ; and then tomorrow, everything father and mother say to me. Now, that will be something, won't it, Harry ?" Ted's bright look, as of rosy antioi• potion, made Barry laugh. "Yee, you will probably have some firet•olase leotnree preserved in ink, if you are not careful—and you will any- way, whether you are careful or not," he added, as Ted gave the door a jubilant bang behind Sim. Harry had a strong affeationforhonest, heedless Ted, and had been impressed for some time with the immense amount of snubbing deemed necessary to the "bringing of him up." A0 home it was "Don't, don't I" and a steady diet of "Don't P" until Barry wondered why every ray of oheerfulnees and every good. natured impulse bad not been starved out of the boy's disposition. Bothpar- ents were good, were justice -loving, and were model citizens. But each was busy and full of care ; Mr. Madison in acquir- ing wealth ; Mrs. Madison, nob a strong woman, in battling with the infantile ail- ments of a pair of sickly twine. This was the situation, as Harry p0n- dared upon it, wondering bow he could help matters. It mow occurred to him that maybe Ted himself had hit upon an excellent plan—that of putting down all his father and mother should say to him in the course of a day. Then if some discreet accident should bring it to light, and they for ones saw themselves as their son was forced to see them, per- haps the diary would accomplish a good purpose. A few nights later, Harry, feeling un- well, retired early with Ted, little think- ing that the diary had already accom- plished, or, at least, begun its mission. Sleeping lightly, he was aroused by voices in the adjoining bedroom. "Myra, I have Ted's dairy here," said Mr. Madison. "He seemed to be pretty hard pushed at the last for matter to pat down, as you may judge by knowing that hie last few pages are filled with a report of all you and I said to him yesterday."' "Said to bim yesterday ? I can't re. member a word I °aid to the child yeeter- dayWell, we both did take time to ad- dress him several times, though whether the boy or the world either is any better for it you can decide by reading it over." The extracts were as follows : t10T14ER'8 PAOE. Morning : "Hurry up, Teddie, breakfast is nearly ready. Don't wait to be called a second time." "Don't, don't, mance eo much clatter l You'll wake the babies." "Teddie, see your bands l Leave the table instantly and wash them over again." "Don't try to explain !

You never have it l Why do yon ask 0" 'There, there ! drumming with your feet again. Every day you have to be told about that." "What in the world do you want to take lunch to school for ? One would think you would want to come home." Noon : "Don't try to talk when your Dating." "Listen and you won't have to ase over." "Be careful." "Don't tell such foolish stories?" "Sit still." "Ted -die I Don't let me have to speak to you every day about doing that l" (Tipping up the sanee•pla05 for the lash spoonful of "juice,") Night : "Go straight back and try cleaningyonr shoes again."

(Ted want. ed a 101011101, the usual contribution in hie room at sallool for elan pi0tut'e,).• "Forgot to unobain Carlo, again, bave you ?Well, now, start 2" "Bring me a match, son --bat, there,. don't kno0k the house down doing ib," Noon : "Lon't interrupt a person. speaking," "Not another word about money 1 I want to bear the last of it. You will have to get along without a ball, It's enough to keep suob a boy as you in shoos," Night, at the ofllae • ""Don't.touab anything on that dock? Don't go near it?" "Sit down, and peep Out of the way." "For pity sake, Ted, go home 1 Tin tired, and you are enough to worry a dead mea." At home "Did yon earn off my umbrella, sir 2" • After a few iniuutoo' silence, a family =moil seemed to ensue. Harry, wish-. iug devoutodly he could bear, caught only those fragments : "All true." "Not an encouraging word." "A etepnlotber's anuld'nb be worse than mine" "Full of fatherly in- struction, isn't it." "As though he were only a nuisance." •"Not a .lad boy." ""Disorderly --!Host boyeborn so." "Well I'm going to turn over 1t new leaf." Then me Harry's ear caught the dole- ful sound of soba, he oast one triumphant glance in the direction of snugly peace. fully slumbering Ted, and drew the bed- clothes over his head. But to leave the Madison's, how many of us oould feel sure of enjoying a persual of a similar report from our own Teddie, a report dame chance yesterday ? Poe. sibly it might he to our profit and peace of mind to stop and consider what view of our character—not our minister, nor our neighbors, nor out parlor.oallere, but ourohildren get from what they daily see and hear from ns. Dear little offending Teds are on hand with trying blunders at trying momenta, and correction under the existing order of things, cannot alwaye be administer- ed in an ideal manner, But let us not reiterate day by day, to an unheeding Teddie, the same directions. Rather, let us give to him bountifully of our lova. No more terrible mistake could be made than to think that an eleven-year.old boy cares no longer to be loved and petted— not petted in just the same manner as hie younger brother in, but in towhee of endearment, and praise for well doing, benefitting bis age. And in giving abun- dantly of our love we are cafe—for love is ingenious, and love will find out many and many a device, both merry and gentle whioh will do far greater service as a re- minder of e, fault than any sharp repri- mand or cutting sarcasm would ever do, Presbyterian Assembly. The General Assembly of the Presby- terian chetah in Canada convened at St. John, N. B., on Wednesday of last week. After the retiring sermon by Rev. Dr. Sedgewick, the roll was called. On motion of Dr. McLaren, Rev. Geo. Leslie McKay, D. D., for 22 years mis. sionary to Formosa, was unanimously chosen moderator, and was led to the ohair amidst great applause. This ie the first inetanoe in which a missionary of the church has been called to occupy the high position of moderator of the General Assembly. In a brief speech be expres- sed his thanks. Dr. Sedgewiak reported reception of replies to the loyal addressee sent by the last Assembly to the Queen and Gover- nors General, Lord Derby and Aberdeen. He also read a personal letter to the Aa• sembly from Lord Aberdeen. He also reported that he had commissioned Rev. Dr. Morton, of Trinidad, to represent this Assembly before Assemblies of Brit- ain, also Rev. Mr. Hooston and the Church of Ireland. A vote of thanks was tendered to Dr. Sedgewick, the retiring moderator. Dr. Cochrane reported from the busi- nese Committee St. David's ohuroh was completely Ill. led at tke opening service in the evening. Thursday morning the reports of the colleges were considered by the Assembly. The report of the Presbyterian College at Halifax, allowed the attendance of students was forty. The Assembly a. dopted the recommendation of the Col- lege Board, and appointed Dr. Pellech as principal of the college. The matter of the appointment of a eucoeseor to fill the chair of systematic theology vacated by the death of Mr. McKnight was remitted to the Synod of the Maratime Provinces to make the appointment. Morrin College, Quebec, reported a do- nation of at least $120,000 from the es- tate of the late James Ross. The Presbyterian College, Montreal Knox College. Toronto ; Queen's and Manitoba Colleges all have good reports, indicating progress in nearly every de. partment. Queen's proposes that professors shall be appointed aubjeot to the vote of the Assembly, and that no such professor shall begin his work until after the As. sembly next following the appointment. This was accepted by the Assembly, and thie matter, whiob has caused a good deal of disonesion in past Assemblies, is settled, and Queen's is regarded as suf- ficiently in tune with others in the mat. ter of lbs appointment of theological pro- fessors to fully ooneerve the interests of the ohnroh. The disocssiou on the hymnal report was resumed in the Peeebyterian General Assembly on Friday. Finally the com- mittee's recommendation woe carried over Dr. C. A, Vine's amendment by a vote of 126 to 04. This conations the in• elusion of selections from the pealtere in the hymnal. The draft copy of the new hymnal is to be sent to Presbyteries for consideration to report through thebym• nal committee on or before the first of March next, and the completed book is to be submitted next. The complete "Book of Praise" shall contain :-1. The whole Psalter in metrical' version. 2. Selee- tione from the prose version, the Pealms and other portions of the scripture for chanting. 8. Selections from the Psalms in the ordinary metrioal version and oth- er versions. 4, Hymns approved and adopted by the Assembly. 5. Scripture sentenoee. No book containing any por- tions of the book of prayer shall receive the assent of the Assembly which shall not contain either the whole Psalter or the seleotione from the Psalms which shall be approved by the Assembly.

Mr. Cropper, Trinidad, is granted standing of second -year student in theology. The report of the Finance Committee of the Eastern section showed larger con- tributions this year than ever before. The method of appointing professors of theological oolleges are to this effect :— The Assembly controls all appointments, the Board of Managers will nominate to the Assembly, and the latter will make appointments. Absolute uniformity is notineiebed upon, Queen's College make appointment sub. jest to vote by the Aseembly. Presby- teries may Bend recommendations to the Board of Managers.

There are 20 annuities ou the fund, and only 018 ministers pay rates. The overture is sent down to Presbyteries to report their mind to the next Assembly. Presbyteries are enjoined to call attention of ministers at the ordination to the claims of fund. The Church and Manse Building Fund is successfully and economically operated. Buildings worth 0400.000 are completed. One friend gave 06,000 this year. The whole work is prospering. Over 22 buildings were erected every year for the last 12 years.
