BleSsed Sorrows.
Sorrows that leave the mind like
a house that has been ransacked and
stripped bare, are deadly indeed,
but sorrows that say to a man :
is not safe to trust any single line
of experience or education for tbe
resources of your life," are blessings
for which we may well be thankful.
Sooner or later troubles and clisap-
pointreents will overtake you, and
then, where will your resources bel
Are there resources that you caa
turn your mind- to, in other- than
those which belong to this world?
A woman of great gifts and high
culture, at about twenty-one 'years
of age, was affianced to a man dis-
tinguished in literature and science,
and she looked forward to a life of
joy; but the ocean claimed him.
The sorrows that fell upon her fell
like the withering frosts in autum-
nal days; and no green and tiright
thing was left in all the field ef her
heart. With mighty' strugglings,
through weeks and months, she
sought to stop her sorrows; and
finally turned from it, saying, "
will give my whole life hereafter to
others, and let my ownself.go." She
consecrated herself to the work of
educating, and is still earnestly, suc-
cessfully and bountifully spending
herself in that work. And behold!
her sorrows are all taken await and
gone. She learned to give herself
away to others; and when she found
herselt again, she was, as it were,
regenerated.
Where sorrows disenchant life or
its exaggerated satisfaction and good-
ness, withont going to the other ex-
treme, it is a great benefit. We are
at first apt to think that life is better
than it is, better than it wean, bet-
ter adapted to give satisfaction -than
it proves to be; and when we dis-
cover our mistake we are apt to go
to the other extreme, and find that
life is all care and hardship. Bless
ed, therefore, is the sorrow which
• tempers our judgment.
Sorrows which malee us feel that,
• (rood as the world is, it is not enough;
that give us a sense that bright and
sweet and desirable as life is, there
is something brighter, sweeter and
more desirable, and that plant in
our hearts the hope and eapeatation
of a higher and better lifetaeeuch
sorrows'are angelic. They prophesy
to us and fulfil their own prophesies.
They da trot lead, us to deride the
present, nor to refuse any whole-
some bitternessebut they tell us of
a met bereaften—H. W. Beecher.

About Spoiling *Children.
•
. That domestic atroeity known as
spoiling a child" is generally
looked upon as a consequence of ex-
cessive maternal lore, but if a moth-
er hated her little one she could
scarcely do anything worse. A'
spoiled child is one of the most un-
happy of living creatures, and gen-
erally siekly ; for besides the phys-a
icaI evils Which the indulgence of its
undisciplined appetites engenders,
its temper preys upon its health.
To pamper the little folks in all.
their whims and caprices is a paren-
tal sin, and one which is always vis-
ited upon the unfortunates who haeve
been, th us irra tionally petted. One
of the immediate penalties of the of-
fenee is the dislike with which
. spoiled children are universally re-
garded. But there are worse cense-
quences than this. The young ty-
. rent is too often developed into the
overbearine youth. and the overbear-
ing .
youth into the unjust and hate.
ful man. 'Gentleness, kindness, and
reasonable patience are absolutely
essential to the proper management
of children. When severity is II ec.-
essary, it is usually because some
error of -the peat has been unwisely
overlooked, or perhaps winked at.
Itt cases of this kind, every blow
that fat upon the juvenile offender
ought, in strict; propriety, to be in-
• flicted on the individual who feiled
to apply the mild remedy of remon-
strance and persnasibnan due season.
Above all . things, treat the little
ones jeatly, for their sense of injus-
tice is keen and bitten—I/others'

Clever Invention of a Laprarie
Man—The Rifle of the Period.
While the war in Europe has
caused many improvments on the
formidable Ciattling gun, now known
as the Mitrailleuse, and has given
birth to monster guns weighing
many tons, a French Canadian liv-
• ing in the quiet, peaceful village of
Laprarie has invented a rifle which
for simplicity and rapidity of use
bids fair to become the rifle of the.
• period.
The rifle ie somewhat similar to
the. Snider, the main difference
being:
First : The barrel P.CrEnrys into the
breech so that it could .be removed
and a stiorter barrel, for cavalry use,
substituted. ,
Second : The breech plate instead
of requiring to be raised,. as in the
Snider, sinks into the stock when
the piece is full cocked, disclosing
tbe end of the barrelready for in-
eeeting the cartridge.
Third : After the piece is dis-
a
arged and replaced on the full
•ck, exposing the weed cartridge,
