THE BRUSSELS POST The Bending Boughs aro Bright with Bloom, And softly Blows the Balmy Breeze, When Baby Boy across the fields A Beauteous Basket -palace saes, Now Baby.Doy is Illilho and Brave, And Donny, too, us ho la Bold ; dirt Bosom Burns with high desire That palace nearer to Behold. I10 drops his Beautiful Bouquet Of Buttercups and Blossoms sweet, And Briskly through the Bushes creeps, With Bare white knees and slippored foot, Tho Dugs and Beetles crawl Beneath •, Tho Briars Bruise his dimpled hands ; Bnt valiantly lie Battles on, Till Drettthless by the Beach be stands. The Big Drown Dcos colpo Dooming out, With angry Buzz about hia oars ; His little Breast Begins to heave; Rio Blue oyes Brim with Bitter tears, Ile Beats a Blundering retreat, Bewildered by his vague alarms, And Biting Book his Bursting sobs, Betakes bim to his mother's arms. The Baffled Bees go Buzzing Book, Faint laughter Babbles on tho Breeze, But Baby -Boy will, after this, Beware of Bee -hives and of Bess.

FU:i AT HOME. Do not be afraid of a little fun at home, good people. Do not shut up your house, less the sun should fade your carpets; and your hearts, less a laugh should shake down a few of the musty old cobwebs that are hanging there. Young people must have fun and relaxation somewhere; if they do not find it at their own hearthstones they will seek it at other and less profitable places. Therefore let the fire burn brightly at night in winter, and let the doors and windows be cheerfully thrown open in oum- mer, and make the homestead do. ligbtful with all those little arta par- ents so well understand. Half an hour of merriment within doors, and merriment of a home, blots out the remembrance'of many a care and an- noyance during the day, and the best safeguard they can take with them into the world is the unseen influenc- es of the bright, little home sanctum. FOR THE THOUSITTUL. Religion is our life, being essential to our peace of mind, our support cinder the trials of life, and our fit- neee for the eternal world. We ought not to look back, unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors and for the purpose of profit- ing by dear•bonght experience. Unless we are prepared to assert that all goodness culminates in our- selves and recedes from others in ex- act proportion to their distance from us, we must admit that our feelings • are largo factors of injustice in the judgment that wo aro all of us only too ready to form. Few companions are more delight- ful, as few also are more rare, than a sympathetic person. So many good qualities make up the ideal aympath- °tis nature—taut, anaeifishuess, a knowledge of many subjects—that it is not wonderful that suelr gifted poisons should be the exceptions, not the rule. Trials of every kind may await you, sterner and darker than any yet experienced. Do not anticipate them, but do not forget their possibil- ity, Do not, as you prize your own soul, forget that your stength for every ooalliot depends on your being girded for each as it comes, and sever being careless or weary, If we •flad that our Limo passes slowly and heavily, we may be sure there is something wrong witb]n. Either wo have not enough to do or we work moebanitsally without heart or energy. If past time looks short and empty, it is because it leaks a distinct record of noble aima, definite resolves, worthy endeavors ; if the immediate future looks tamale and uninteresting, it is because wo are pot living full, rich, and earnest lives. The farmer Jin owe he cannot change the speaios of the send and make rye yield wheat or barley oats ; but he also knows that he can bring many influences to bear upon the growth of each plant after be kind—that he can al) accommodate its relations to aero, air, water, and soil as to ensure its better development or to stunt and impoverish it. So, if wo learn tho tine loeson of heredity, we shall know that human tendencies, real and actual as they are, depend for their development largely upon the way they are treated. KEEPING THE SABBATH. OTAIOT139T QII.L,nn 00n000na OF a00TTISOO MLA:il ons. A correspondent of a Glasgow pa- per describes his experiences in the isolated island of St. Kilda. When Ins awoke on Sunday morning he de - aired a little water to wash with, and was supplied with a cupful, and in • formed by the servant that Mr. Mac- kay, the Free (lurch minister, had declared that the drawing of water on the Sabbath was a violation of the Fourth Commandment. According to his account, the day's exercises at the Free Church are severe, to say the least. There is a sermon of two hours' length in the morning. This is followed by a short interval for re- freshments. A. bell then rings up the congregation for a two hours' ser- mon in the afternoon. From the church the St. Rildians proceed to the Sunday School, and are then al- lowed another short interval for tea. In the evening there is another relig- ous service, at which the spinsters and bachelors each repeat a paslm. If, through the severity of these re- ligious exercises, any St. Iiildian goes to sleep, the minister takes him to task by name, thus ; "Lachlan, waken your wife, she won't nod much in hell, 1 think." The church is rough in the extreme, there being no flooring.

The Metlakatla Indians of British Columbia positively refuse to allow the officials of the Dominion Govern- ment to survey their reserve. A sur- veying party attempted worlt on the reserve a week ago, but were unable to proceed on account of the obstruc- tion offered by the Indians. They de- clared the land was theirs, and they would not alloiv it to Ile staked off, When the surveyors opened their in- struments they were forcibly closed up again ; when a stake was driven it was immediately pulled out of the ground. They threatened to boycott the surveyors by prohibiting ' them from using wood or water, and thus compelling them to move away from the reserve. The objedt of the sur- vey is to define the boundaries of the Indian Roeerve, which is a piece of land twenty-two miles long by five miles wide. The Indians claim that the whole country is theirs, and that they do not want, and will not have, a reserve set apart for thein. The situation is critical, and will be at one° reported in all its details to the Dominion Government, m 4t, t ` o1'0 Iftt - 444 a d 4+ 7ir9 t t i f Wary as THE COCK'S BEST IMPEND THE BEST WIZsr D. lt•L, lying-rl s, ExoaLsron IJ:on Wenn, - Mis,a'ss L, ONT., Mane noturor of throe different kinds of lylnaui lle.
