Willie Blake, or "Connie Willie,", as he Was commonly called, was an imbecile -boy of some fifteen years, living in a pretty,out- pi-the-way village of Scotland, Unlike some of theme poor unfortunates, he was of a kind, loving disposition, never so happy as when doing somebody a service. He Iwould fetch old Betty's pail of water from the well, or carry crumbs in his pockets for •the birdie or rescue a poor frightened kitten from the currier's ferocious dog, or anythinn to help, and, as "kindness begets kindness," everybody liked Willie, and nobody, not even the mischievous anhoolboye, ever did him any harm. Be could not read, for, in those days no- body thought of trying to educate such poor unfortunates ; but had an excellent memory, and often showed signs of shrewdness and thought that surprised people. A greet deal - of his time was spent out of doors, roaming shout the fields and lanes, watching the `trout leap in the clear brook, or gathering nosegays of wild flowers, for his mother's cottage; but, wherever he went, he might be heard singing old songs he hed picked up, or serape of rhymes and tunes, strung ether by himself. rt/ INDULdENT MOTHER - OR 100 MUCH- YIELDING TO THE WHIMS.0F A CHILD. rite Results Thai May come—Selfishness,- ' Ceseiceit and ITritriathfuluesi the certain !

We have all seen this , vice Oita baby before he could walk. 4 ery often the minister met hini in his rambles, and would talk kindly to him, and teach him hymns and pfiraphrases to sing, instead Of the rhymes and ballads hethad learned. Willie Wa3 an only child, and hie mother heel long been e widow. Although fond of her boy, and working early and late, to pro- vide everything he needed, she did not often show her love in the little, tender'Weaning ways most mothers do, so tat Willie, ' although he loved her too, was rattier afraid of her. If she had been weak and suffering, ; his kind,syripathetic heart veould have gone out to her at once; but she was so strong and proud, and capable, there seemed noth- ing he could do for her, and so he ahrank in- to himself. One Saturday evening, as he was roaming in the fields, the minister met him, and spoke to him moro earnestly than he had . ever done before. He told him of beaven,of hell, and of the Savior, who had died for ; him ; and as Willie lietened, the tears chased each other down his cheek, and he wiped them /invent with the edge of his blue bonnet. His mother, bustling and busy; was too engrossed by the cares of this. world to give much thought to another. It Was as much as she could do to get an honest living, and she geld "if God had made her better off, she might have hid time for such things." And so, it often happened, as it did Oa the morning following the minister' i conversa- tion, that when the Church boils begen to ring, she was only just putting her cottage ha order. "Are nse ye goin' to the kirk the day, Mary ?" asked a neighbor, looking in, as she was passing, and seeing her in a short gown and petticoat, sweeping the floor, "Deed, no, Jennie, I canna be ready in , time ; ye see, as there is naething to do on , the Sabbath, I whiles sleep over lang, an' 'nee done so the morn." - Willie, who was sitting in & corner, shar- ing his breakfast with the kitten, suddenly started up, and standing before his mother, with his finger raised impressively, sang out, in his strange, plaintive tone— " Naething to do !• Nsething to do ! Ye he'e heaven to win and hell to Au; an' ea' ye that naething to do ?" The strong women started as if an arrow lied pierced ber heart. The simple words of her idiot boy bad struck home. All her foolish reasonings, her hardness end indiffer- ence, were swept away, and sinking into a chair, she buret into tears of grief and penitence. ! From that hour she wesea °hanged wee mart ; Willie, too, became more loving; more gentle, more teachable, Dever weary of singing, in his sweet, plaintive fashion, the hymns his good pastor had taught him. Soma after this, a terrible fever broke out in the village, spreading death and desol- ation all around. Arnong the first victims was "Cetinje Willie," whose last words bore wondrous testimony to the power of the goopel to reach and illumine minds even so dull and clouded as hie. "Heaven is won T." he exclaimed, "Heaven is won I but, oh, mother, it was Jens who won it for me," Yes, deat young reader, it was "Jesus , who won it." Thank Godefor the glorious ! truth. Bat have we nothing to do ?" Can we not tell others the story of His love ?— Sylvia Penn, in Our Own Magezine. 'PAM/ LYING COMES.

Watch him and see. . ; When he is a little older, and begins to askiquestionse comes a fresh set of lesions in Ontruth from the parent who can't bear to ,fuse anything, even information. There is au old proverb, "A fool can answer qnes- tiono a philosopher cannot answer," and ho* much easier it is for a bright child, with eager mind opening to all the wonders aroUnd him and craving to know about eveferthing. It is pitiful tosee the childlike cor*Ience in the wisdom -of parents abutted —tb see absolute untruth taken into the° earriest mind and cherished as truth. l:fow sadly often do we ette parents, when asited questionS they are unable to answer, inifient ridiculous stony Which the unsus- pecting chid absorbs greedily, as perfectly truiStworthy'the infatuated parent, too, th*s it is funny ----a joke—and often casts a OA -inning look around among the grown peole present, as if proud oi the work. A TERRIBLE LESSON. , to doing thus two things are lost . sight ofoefirst, that the child has reason, and, seemed, that he soon grows up. It is riot lop* before he knows he is deceived and, fors his. judgment accordingly. Thus is lea: ed a terrible lesson—that his mother or . is father (foe fathers are guilty here) do -s not tell the truth. Now there Is no refison why a mother should Pretend to know everything", Soon enongh the child sees for hiteself that she does not. How much better, then, to take a dtgnifiecl ponition -et fir en and retein the child's reepect by admit- tii fraiikly; that she does not know, though at the same time she ehould honestly try to -find out. , !

It is like sending a boy out into the wol-ht--full grown without know- ing his letters—he has to - educate him- self. - t A mother ahould have tender and loving, but firm, control of her child from his first i reath.

THE FIVRON EXPOSITOR press kr. Awrey gave seerie intereseing particulars of the work he is engaged in. The exhibit of timber promises to be the finest Ontario has over attempted.. During the lest week no less than 600 letters have, been sent but from Mr. Awiey's office to. the prhicipal ' timber men of , the Prov- ince, inviting their co-operation in. making the exhibit worthy of tho Province. The length of the samples of timber will be 42 inches, and these will be shown in sections, a slab tieing taken offto shbev,, the grain, and a portion of the side luil- lowed out to show the heart of the woodt The lower. end will be highly polished, Mho'', imenple of their excellence for elle mulatto.' tine of furniture, while another portion again will have an mitt:it-ion of the leaves of the tree carved upon it. Samples of timber suitable for masts of ship, and specimens of every kind of lumber from scantlings and planks to shingles and laths will also find a place in the timber exhibit. Walnut, cherryo blitelobirch and other hard woods used for .veneering will he shown, together with softelevarieties used in the manufacture of pulp. \ Doors and sashes will also be includ- ed. - Ittve stock of all kinds will perhaps be one -of the most iniportant of the exhibits of Ontario. .Aiready Mr. Awrey has received applications for five times more space than he will he elle to allot. Every animal shown will have to be registered in the stook books of either Canada, England or the United States. Great efforts are being me to secure a really representative exhibit of the miner ale of Ontario, and from present indications these hopes will be realieed, the number of exhibits already promitied 'being doitble as many as were shown at. the centennial or Cincinnati exhibitions. • One exhibit -.of nickel received is expected to astonish the world. - • is no less than two tons in weight and 'is a magnificent ' specimen. Granite and marble will be shown in quan- tities never before attempted, while all will be of the highest quality. Granite monu- ments are promised which will rival any- thing ever imported from Scotland. Colore ed marbles will he shown pinkly.' in Orna- mental mantels, and no trouble or expense will be epared to make the display a credit to the Province. Ten of the best men Mist can be obtained are now collecting _samples of minerals throughout Ontario. A novel plan has been hit upon forthe exhibits of. friiits. As the great fair miens before the crop. of '93 will be ready, speci-o neens of this season will have tobe shown, and these *ill be preserved- in tinge glass jars itf acids. Sixteen hundred of these jars have been procured, and 'some .of them are sufficiently large to show plums and grapes in clusters on boughs, portions of ,which will be put. Apples will be kept over the , eeinter in Chicago, cold storage having al- ready b'een secured there by Mr. Awrey. When next year's. crop is ripe fresh samples will be sent oven by express and shoviwon (plates and in basket'. In her exhibitof- bees and honey Ontario „. ettpecte to lead the everld; the repliee al- ready received premising an exhibit larger than any single country has hithettoshown. Altogether Commissioner Awrey is extreme- ly pleased with the -result of .his la e, and is confident thet ntario, at least, will not be behind in her exhibit. Among tho most attractive features of the World's Columbian Exposition will be the bench show which will be held in connec- tion with the' fair from June 12 to 17, 1893. There are many fine specimens of the can.. ine species on this -side Of the line, and it is desirable that a creditable showing should -be made by Ca-nadian kennels.

Matches and Pins., Matches and .pins being among the most • common things in daily use, it is seldom that any thought is bestowed upon them. Matchesthat are ignited by friction were first -made in 1829, before which time they -*ere made to catch fire from a spark struck from flint or steel ---ea very inconvenient method. It is hard to sov how many mil- lions of matches are made in a day, but when the number of people that use -them is reckoned, the total sum is appalling. Probably in the city of New 'York alone over twenty million matches are \lied every twenty-four hours. But matches are such little things that nobody ever. seems to. think of them. Prom an ordinary three- inch plank 186,000 matches may be. made, yet even at this rate the lumber used in the ana,tch business attainti enormous ,propor- tions. s . Pins are mentioned as efar back as 1483, but not until the beginnin,g of this be. neury were they manufactured by machinery. The old way of making each pin by hand intuit have been very tedious, and it is net likely that people were so careless with them then, ai they were; leech more expensive than now. It has often been wondered what becomes of the pins that are lost, but it is hard to say. • There are fourteen distinct _operations in making aline ain't lots of trou- ble attached to the process. • Pins are made of brass, and then tinned and blanched, and. minter's of ethem. are manufactured daily. As a pin can he used inore than once, the ntimber used does not, equal that of matches, but still miles upon miles of . wires are used annually - in their manufac- ture. Like matches, they are lifttle things and not thought much of; but when you need a pin or a match, and there is none to be found, then you realize what an' impor- tant pert they play itt daily- life.
