Pure 001d Water.
ET S. JELINiE SAITO.
There is a drink that never harms,
'Tis pure cold water;
There is a drink that neer alarms,
'Tie pure cold inter.
It always keeps our senses right,
Our minds and fame ever bright, .
Can keep the heart within us right,—
"Xis pure cold water !
But there's a drink that we must shun,
Not pure cold water;
There is a dent:much harm hes done,
Not pure cold water,
Oh nothis drink is one that steals
Our melees from us and reveals
A power to harm, but never heals,—
Not pure cold water
e God in Heaven gave us taste
For pure cold water ;
Then we mut not this blessing waste,
We'll take cold water;
For if we form a habit now
Of drinkiog liquor well allow,
Ourselvee before this fiend to bow ;—
We'll take cold water!
Then let us always give our friends
This pure cold water; _
Itis• the drink our Father oends,
This pure cold water.
Well form a resolution here
Tbat liquor stores wenvon't go near, -
And to such drinkte foes severe,—
Andtake cold water !

“Cannie Willie."
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.

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 ?—

'PAM/ LYING COMES.
Nlitlien this crop of self will is well ander
way -et end flourishing, so that he •becomes
troublesome, comes in natural eequence the
nextstep, unttuthfuluess. The willful in-
fant Ipreferis the presence and care of his
mother, from Whose hands he 'gets every.
thin he Wants (Without the snubbing
whidi he gets from his nurse). He ecreems
whee she goes away , she deceives him,land
ver soon deliberately prevaricates. •T'Ph,
no ., she says. "Mamma won't go away,"
ankthe moment his attention is attracted
she Slips out, and does go. He does not
notice or reniember, you say? Does he
not,lindeed ! 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. , !
Not tb speak of the result i of indulgence
on the health by means of !improper food
and habits, which particular form of baby
killing any honest physician' will admit is
foe from uncommon—nor, enenewhat later,
ofehad essociates which the mother cannot
control—how does this victim of an indul-
gent mother fare when he goes out into the
wOrld *ith no mistaken mother as a buffer
betwee' ii him and life t -
THE SAD RESULT.
,As a child he is disliked and avoided by
ervlery one; as he grows he ie the dread of
teachers and he is snubbed by his employers
—1when ite gets them. , When he reaehes
vitenhood, having no true ideas of life' and
his own insignificant place in it, filled with
conceit and self assurance, he he makes few
fieentle, and he has the almost impossible
taek of learning at great cost (if he learns
at all) what would have come with ease in
childhood. . 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. ' She should as carefully shield him
f om self consciousness, Conceit and wilful-
ness as she does from scarlet fever and
'-isooping, cough. - Site should,- above all
414ings, set him a daily example of justice
and truthfulness in the smallest affairs. In
Most bases the mother herself is the victim
cif had training, and her duty it; first With
herself. Only by taking the matter serious-
- in hand, and trying to overcome her
eakness, Can the conscientious mother
hope to avoid passing on her own faults to
'the next generation, to produce a fresh crop
'f noxious weeds in her grandchildrea.-_-

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. '

Blake W1I be Leader.
We believe that, Hon. Mr. Blake would
be precisely, the right man for the position.
Michael Devitt will be a formidable pre-
sence in our camp, but him on whoin we
set the highest value is Edward Blake.:
The yea'Y fact of his haying bein.solicited to
coninfrom Canada to help us shoves that he
is something out of the COMMO11, and thee
his alliauce • is of weight. We want
no dictator. We have done with
that. The safety of our; pesition has
been imperilled by yielding too flinch
power into the grasp , of one fallible
personage. But it is neeessery that there
should be some controlling spirit who would
-carry out the plan of ection devised in con-
' sultation with his einnraders. This Edward
Blake may be the predestined tactician of
the campaign, and we,shall explain why we
so consider him. He is makure- yet 'robust,
in the mellow prime of manhood: Ot die -
criminating judgment and sotind readiness
of speech, lte is accuetonted to meet the
manoeuvres and check the. chicanery of pro-
fessional politicians; has been the leader of
the Opposition in the H.onie-Ruled fdanada,
and is qualified to rebut fantastic theory by
plain practical experience. He is bound by
no ties of faction--Parn ell ite and ItithCarthy-
ite (to use Once again the unpleasant shib-
boleths of. feud) are one to, him. 'He is
gifted with. intellect, 04 has a 'lethal etand-
iog, and is that most iteceptable ef Jrish-
en: en in the crisis—a libereltininded Protest-
tant.—London, Eng., Universe (Catholic).

The First Organ to go to;leep.
It is &Aid by scientists te be a fact hat all
our senses do not slumber simultaneously,
but that they fall into a happy state of in-
sensibility; one after another. - The eyolide
'take the lead and obscure eight; the sense
of taste fts the next to lose ite susceptibility, ,
then follow smelling, hearing and touch ; the,
last named being the lightest sleeper, and
most easily aroused. It is curious that, al-
though the sense of smellle one of the first
lo slumber, it is the hut to wake. Hearing;
, after touch, soonest regains consciousness.
Certain muscles land parts of the body begin
to sleep before others. Commencing' -with
the feet, the slumberous influence Works -its
way gradually uipward to the centre of nerv-
ous action. This will explain' the , neces-
sity of having the feet nothfortably- yarna
before sound sleep is possible.—Scientific
