The capacity of yielding to Wise restraint
always leads to the capacity for self-
restraint. Look at the pregvesS of the
youth who has always been maalged in
every whim and never thwarted in any de-
sire. He grows up selfish and disagreeable,
and, though be may fancy he enjoys liberty,
he really knows nothing, of ; for although
he may defy all attempts to influence him,

them close together in a baking pan. Pour

In the year 1814, when the Emperor Na-
poleon made his last levy of troops to resist
the invasion of Frauce by the powers of
Europe, one Peter Julian Laurent, a poor
knife -grinder, was employed by a rich citi-
zen named Ulysses Gaudin, whosename was
more warlike than was his disposition, to go
to the war in his place.
Substitutes were somewhat hard to find in
those days, and before Lament woad con-

Peter Julian Laurent was killed under the
walls of Paris within four months after his

'the sandy shore even to the bottom of the

gloom as Annette had feared, it was bright

The wonders of a mermaid's realm did

first and second birthdays. The idea of love
and the idea, of law lead up to the idea
of God. .As soon as the child begins to
understand, it should be taught that all
love and all law center in God. Above
is One who loves the ohild more than
oven the mother lovas it. Above is One
whose will is law absolutely, who always
knows what is best and does what is best.
The child comes to see what it is to love
God and to keep.the wil 1 01 (10(1,
But the child is forever asking for things.
The relation between the ohild and the
father and mother is largely that of receiver
and giver, The child must be trained to
look up in that same way toward God and
to ask God, The child is taught before he
can even understand the meaning of the
actioo in the least, to kneel 11051115 his
mother, and folds his little hands together
and listen while the mother says a prayer,
Little by little the meaning of that gets into
the child's mind, Tho child begins to pray.
The Child has been taught OM God loves
him, and is his Heavenly Father, and so he
prays as naturally as he speaks to his earth-
ly father, and thanks God for hisdailybless-
hogs and asks him for all that he wants'for
himself and for those who are deer to him.
But the child has boon taught that God's
-will is the wiSeSt win above his own'and so
he is not disappointed, 101 (1005 helose his
faith when he gets no answer to his prayer.
He simply knows that that he has asked for
something which God knows he ought not
to have. Ho recognizes the fact that God's
wisdom is wiser than his wisdom. It is a
mistake to teach children to pray for things
they want, without teaching them fit the
same time to pray, "Thy will be done,"
They may pray that the sun may shine to-

In all this the mother and fathot• do not

decide that they will never feed the baby
till he is able to spell "milk," They choose

as reasonably and as nocesearily as they do
in physical things. They want the ohild to

Driuks for Invalids,
There are some old.thne drinks for inva-
lids which aro very refreshing and whole-
some in warm weather. Tammands may
now be found in market at 10 edits a pound
in the pod. Shell a isupfnl and pour over
the pulp a quart of boiling water. Let it
stand about twenty minutes at the back of
the stove, sweeten it and allow it to get
cool. Then strain it and set 11 1(11 the ice till
very cold, and serve as lemonade. A tama-

replace it by two quarts of boiling water.

a littlo lemon peel should then be added,
and sugar to the taste. A pinch of salt wilt
be found an improvement.
