—The upheaval in China recalls the
estimate placed by the late Sir Robt.
Hart, on the Chinese character; he
said :—
"The Chinese possess quite as
large a share as others of admir-
able qualities. They are well-be-
haved, law-abiding, intelligent,
economical, and industrious; they
are punctiliously polite; they wor-
ship talent, and they believe in
right so firmly that they scorn to
think that it requires to be sup-
ported and enforced by might.
They are generous, charitable,
and fond of good works; they
never forget a fayor, they make
rich return for any kindness, they
are wonderfully gifted with com-
mon senseand in no country has
the commandment, "Honor tby
father and thy mother," been so
religiously obeyed. In no other
• country is education no honored,
so prized, so utilized, and so re-
warded."
If Sir Robt. Hart's estimate of the
Chinese is correct, there is a great
future before that nation, when it
once shakes off the shackles of past
years, and gets well started on the
march of progress.

Let us forget the things that vexed and tried tie, ,
The worrying things that caused our souls to fret;
The hopes that, cherished long, were still denied us,
Let us forget.
Let us forget the little slights that pained us,
The greater wrongs that rankle sometimes yet;
The pride with which some lofty one disdained us,
• Let us forget.
Let us forget our brother's fault and failing,
The yielding to temptations that beset,
That he perchance, though grief be unavailing,
Cannot forget.
But blessings manifold, past all deserving,
• Sind woide and helpful deeds, a countless throng,
The faults o'ercome, the rectitude unswerving,
Let us remember long.
The sacrifice of love, the generous giving
When friends were few, the hand -clasp warm and strong,
The fragrance of each life of holy living,
Let us remember long.
Whatever things were good and true and gracious,
Whateler of right has triumphed over wrong,
What love of God or man has rendered precious,

Death Of Mrs. Maxwell.
The, home of Mr, Garrett Maxwell
of Morris was Baddetied during the
holiday semen, by the illness and
death of Mrs. Maxwell, vvho passed
avvey on Saturday last. We have not
been able to secure any particulars Of
her life. The funeral took place on
Twist:lay,
•
Broke Through Ice.
On Xmas day, Earl Johne, Gordon
Buchanan and Frank Galbraith bad
an experience they do not wish to
repeat. They were skating on the ice
on the lower dam, and ventured too
far out over the channel of the river,
where the ice was thin, and the three
went through into the cold water.
Buchanan had his hockey stick, and
by means of this he climbed out and
ran for help. In the meantime Gal-
braith succeeded in getting out, and
by rneans of boards secured, Johns
was at last rescued from his perilous
position, but not until he was almost
benumbed, This should be a warning
• to boys not to be too venturesome.
Fortunately in this case, all escaped,
but there might have been three be-
reaved and sad homes for the New
Year.
