"She made home happy I" These fee/ words read Within a churohyard, written on a stone; No name, no date, the simple words alone Told me the story of the unknown clend. A. marble column lifted high its head Close by, inscribed to ono the world has known •, But ah 1 that lonely grave with moss o'ergrosyn Thrilled me for more than his, who armies led. "She made home happy I" Through the long, sad years The mother toiled, and never stopped to rest Until they °reseed ber hands upon her breast And dosed her eyes, no longer dins with tears ; The simple record that she left behiud Was grander than the soldier's, to my mind. SUNDAY TALE IN THE HORSE SHEDS. 'Tisn't so moth that the Sunday harness never seems to fib, That the collar is tight, an' the check- rein draws on this queer newfangled bit, Nor yet that the pasture looks greener somehow this sort of a hall -rest day, That galls me most, Old Roan, but the things I bear the people say. My shoulders ache and my knees are stiff and it makes me want to fight When I hear 'em sing, "0 Day of Best I 0 Day of Joy and Light 1" For we started Into and to get there soon we had to trot our best; "Welcome,"—now hear 'om,—"delight- fel morn, sweet day of snored rest 1" Now Parson's remain' the soripture, "Re- member the Sabbath day— In it thou shalt not do any work"— "Amen," the people say ; "Thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy cattle, thy ox, or thy ass"— Don't seem to exempt the horses, eh ? So we'll let the lesson pnss. Can't you stepover a little ? The sun comes in this side— And ib don't say a word about the wife I reckon that's why Choy decide That Sunday's a day of rest on the farm from the labors of every -day life For everything that the Lord bath made —exoept home and his wife.

Sir Oliver On AntleXati011. Sir Oliver Mowat was recently inter. viewed in Chicago by a Post representa. Mao, and the following is the substance of the interview :— "No," said Sir Oliver Mowat, premier of Ontario, carefully eououlting a little red book labeled abentennial Proceed. ings," "No, I do not believe in annex - salon for Canada. I prefer the ills I suffer to the ills annexation would in. volvo. There are in most counties a few annexationists, but the aggregate number in the dominion, 1300 sure, 10 small as compered with the aggregate population. To the United Stales and its people we ave all friendly. We recognize the ad. vantages which would acorue to both them and ns from extended trade rela- tions. We are willing to go so far in that direction as shall not involve now, or in the futbre, political nnion. There Canadians of every party have hitherto drawo,tho lino, and I trust will continue to draw the line. In nay early days I used to mourn over the little Canadian sentiment which existed then among Canadians, either by birth or by adop- tion ; but a gradual change has been going on in this rasped; and Oanadianism la now predominant among the largest proportion of the Canadian people. "I believe in and love my nation and I want to perform my part, whatever it may be, in maintaining its existence as a distinct politioal or national organize, -tion. I believe this in the long run to be the best thing for Canadians and for the whole American continent. We do nob wish to disconnect ourselves with the mother laud unless it should be by and by to set up for ourselves as an indepen- dent nation in friendly alliance with that land if no longer in political connection with it. But the time for absolute in• dependence has not yet come." And the premier, who has for twenty. one years ruled the destinies of the local parliament at Toronto, orossed his feet and settled beak into his chair with the air of a man who believed every word that he said and felt that others ought unheeitalingly to see the truth of the matter. "Riled by England ?" laughed Sir Oliver'and his oye took on a divided twitskle. "For half a century the policy of Groat Brit kin has been not to interfere with our affairs, except; to the extent that we °unlace ask, Wo have all the self.governmettli that, through our reprepentatives, we have ever askocl or that the Cauttdians as a people have hitherto desired. The mother land has also given to as, 'without money or with- out prose, all the crown lands sn British North America outside of the provinces, amounting to millions of square miles. nes Canada has now an area of 3,610,- 000 square rniles—abont equal to the United States, including Alaska, and nearly as large as the whole continent of Europe. Our own provinca of Ontario alone is largor than the aggregate areas of New England states, New York and Pennsylvania. That is what so many of you Americans seem to forget—or rather fail to remembee. Half a million square miles of Cann- dian territory is well timbered land or prairie land, and has it larger wheat - growing area than any other country in the world. Canada is unequaled for raising cattle, We have fisheries, timber and mines. We have soil and a climate adapted for raising and maintaining a vigorous and active population, which is the most important consideration of all. Why should we want to be absorbed into the United States 1 Why commit national suiaide 1 Our will is the power which movie parliament at Ottawa, but °A Washington the influence of our few millions of people would oount but little. If we want free trade now we have only to elect representatives favoring it and free trade we may have. If we want not free trade, but a revenue tariff, we have only to send to Ottawa representatives favoring a revenue tariff and we shall have it. Bub in Case of annexation to the United States Canadians might be unanimous for any policy and their unanimity would amount to nothing un- less a insjority of the 65,000,000 of other people should also favor it. By an- nexation we should thus practically bo giving up forever the absolute, uncontrol. led right of dealing throughout all time with one federal affairs. We do not want it." "But, Sir Oliver, you roust admit that a host of your brightest Canadians drift over hors." Sir Oliver's face °loaded. . "Yes, it is true, but it moat not be overlooked that a country yet new and with 65,000,000 of population most present more openings for Oanachans thou Canada with a pop- ulation of 5,000,000 can have for Ameri- can citizens ; yet the last dominion meths shows that there are 80,480 pin- ions of American birth making their homes in Canada. And these are not the num of the American people either. Quite the oontravy. They belong, ad a rule, to the moat industriorta, active, 1W - abiding, intelligent Wass of our popula- tion.

TROLLEY ACROSS THE OCEAN. 13 15 pretty well understood that the limit of speed in ocean steamers is about reached if the present models are adhered to, and that if there is to be any gain in swiftness it must be by the trial of a now form. The difficulty is to devise a vessel of which the structural strength shall be great enough to carry the massive enginea requisite for increased ppeed, and at the same time to resist the force of the ocean storms. The Boston Courier thinks it is not impossible that the solution of the problem lies in the submarine ship, and that the passenger 'steamer of the future will go under water instead of across its surfeme. Perhaps the steamer of the future will be operated on a trolley by means of a submarine cable. The advantages of this plan would ba great, ELS ib would m event the necessity of carrying immense quitnti. ties of fuel and of keeping the vessel loaded down with enormous engines. All oho delay and difficulty and expense of mthaging fernitoes and engines on board ship would be done away with by do oceanic trolley system, and the ships could be made so much lighter that they could go whizzing across the ocean in a, couple of days. Danger of accident mold be brought to be no greater than it is at present by having a sufficient num• ber of repair steamers on the route, which would keep the cable in repair and in oath of any accident. to the trolley could bring the passenger boat into port, or put it again in connection with the cable, There can be no question that the proper means of crossing the Atlantic quielsly is by sons system which will allow the motive power to be applied from the there, either by a trolley or a cable. The limit of speed for ships that carry engineci and fuel is certainly 'nautically reached on the service, and there are diffioulties in the way of gob. marine navigation which it would be hard to °entailer.

What MetilOrs Should Do. As the boys grow up maks companions of Oleos ; then they will not seek oom- panionship elsewhere, Let the children make nobs some. times ; their happiness is as important as your BOVVCS. Respect their little eeerets ; if they have concernment, worrying them will never make them tell and patience will probably do the work. Allow them as they grow older to have opinions of their own ; make thorn indi- viduals not more echoes. Remember that without physical health mental attainment is worthless ; let them lead free, happy lives, whioh will strengthen both body and mind. Bear in mind that yen are largely re- sponsible for your child's inherited char.. eater and have patience with faults and failings. Talk hopefully to your children of life and its possibilities ; you have no right to oppress them because you have suf- fered. Teach boys and girls the actual faults of life as soon as they are old enough to understand them, and give them the sense of responsibility without saddening them. Find out what their special tastes are and develop them, instead of spending time, money and patience in forcing them into studies that are repugnant to them. Al your daughters grow up teach them at least the true merits of housekeeping and cookery; they will thank you for it in later life and a great deal more than for accomplishments. Try to sympathize with girlish flights of fancy, even if they seem absurd to you. By so doing you will retain your influence over your daughters and not teach them to seek sympathy elsewhere.
