He forgets oethiog that be hears, and be remembers every one of these tales. He revels io them." The other mother said : * 'Fairy- stories are only occasional in our household. Once io a long while we indulge in one. in place of fairy-lore I read to my boy stories from history. We are at present deep in Abby Sage Richardson's His? tory of our Country. My child also has a retentive memory. I do not force him to memortz any dates, but his in? terest in the book prevents bis forget? ting what be learns from it. My theory is that a child's ?iind mast be filled with something, and that it is wiser and kinder to stock it with what will be of service to him hereafter than with useless material. My small man likes whac he terms 'stories that truly happened.' Our Sunday reading con? sists of a chapter from the Bible (sim? plified and explained as we go aloog) and something from Coffin's Story ot Liberty. Then, too, my boy is fond of poetry." "Poetry !" exclaimed her listener. "Ob, well so is mine, if you call Metber Goose and Nonsense Rhymes 'poetry' But I suppose you would consider them useless material." "Rather." assented her friend. "My boy has also had a taste of the dear old nonsense, which deserves some con? sideration on account of its antiquity But what I mean by poetry is such selections ae you find in Child Life, com? piled by Whittier, and such poems (esily appreciated by an intelligen child) as Longfellow's "Waiter von der Vogelweid," or "The Old Clock on the Stairs," Aldrich's "Baby Belle," Holme's "Last Leaf," Field's dainty verses and lullabies, Steven's collection of children's veres and a score of other peoms to be loved and understood by children. Theo, if my boy wants something wonderful and fairy like in the way of stories, I turo bim to the tales from Greek mythology. Where will you find anything more fascina? tingly marvellous to the youthful mind than the accounts of Niobe and Leda, Io and Prometheus, Daphne, Medusa, Tantalus, etc., as found in Cox's Tales of Ancient Greece 1-Harper's Bazar. Papal Supremacy. The Papal Supremacy exercised in England iii pre-Reformation times was an encroachment and an usurpa? tion. A st tidy of the history of the Ecclesia Angicaoa will show you how from time to'time, that% suprem? acy was protested against, aud ulti? mately, in the time ot Henry VIII, repudiated by such men as Sea th and Bonner, Tunstall and Gardi- I ner, and others who had no desire, and made no efforts to "reform" doc? trine but who were determined to throw off a yoke which circumstan ces had enabled the Bishop of Rome to impose. The Church of England, therefore, was acting within her rights in throwing off a usurped juris? diction which bad been exercised, as Edward III, told Clement VI, for the purpose of shearing the flock, not tending it. The Church simply went back to the condition . of affairs which existed before the encroach? ment of the Papacy began ; to the time when the British church was entirely independent of Rome and its acts, nevertheless, perfectly valid; to the time when the Pope had not attempted to interfere with the ap? pointments of the Suffragan See : when no oath was imposed with the presentation of the Pall (i. e., before 1115 A. D ,) and when the royal license was necessary before appeals could be sent to Rome. A study of such matters will show you of what nature was the supremacy exercised by the Bishops of Rome ; that in re? pudiating the Papal claim to juris diction, the Church of England was i ?pt only acting within its lawful i rights, but was restoring an anteced- I ent condition of affairs It malters j not what theoeratical ideas about the Monarchy were entertained subse- ? quently by great men of the latter | Tudor period. The question is what the Church in her Convocation, etc., j has pronounced, and it cannot be j shown that the Church of England j has conveyed to the Crown any spirit nal jurisdiction contrary to the doct- j rine and discipline of the Church j (see Art. 37).-The Church Times, j Unfinished Legislation. - The Calendars of the House and j Senate of the last Legislature show that in the former there were twenty- j ine bills introduced and not disposed ; of and in the latter forty-six. Among : these are several new county matters which will have no undergo some i change in view of the change in the Constitution on the subject. Other | bills relating to elections arc also out! of date for the same reason. A vast , majority of the bills are of a local or j private character.-Register. -MB -^m^ Cloth bound books suitable for holiday gift3-many standard work?, for saie by H. G.

Bishop Thompson of Mississippi in the course of a recent address said : "Oneof tbe two or three enormously and absurdly rich men in the country -dead now, and enjoying a little rest, I hope-said lo me once, 'I envy you.' 'Envy me V I asked. *Yes ; you are a free man, your own master, and doing and saying hopeful things to people every day ; nd I am like a bliud horse in a bark uiill, tramping the same monotonous path round the safe that contains the deeds and se? curities ' "In the kindness cf my heart I of? fered to relieve him at once of some part of his trouble, and bear his bur? den like a Christian brother, as St. Paul commands us. I know exactly where five millions would found a university to do enormous good and make his name a blessing forever : where another million would endow ten missionary bishoprics ; where two million more would build one creditable, cathedral, and five millions another ; and ten millions would be invested so as to relieve our Mission? ary Committee from the stress and anxiety they suffer ; and then five millions more could be soundly invest? ed so as to produce a respectable sum toward the instruction and Christian? izing of our seven million negroes. This would not have relieved him entirely-indeed, of only a fraction of his load He would still have been staggering under a burdeu which would crush me. You may be surprised, but it is nevertheless the fact, that he i politely but peremptorily declined ! my kindly proposal and groaned un- j der it till the load crushed him, and left it just as heavy for his son to ; sweat under till he, too, ?s dead." Think, Christians, that these min? isters of God have have surrendered all things for Christ. They receive less than those laborers who are now striking for higher wages, and are cresting such disturbances in our land. The average salary of a minister of the Gospel is less than that of the man who shovels coal in the mines, who opens the throttle-valve of the engine, and scarcely more than that of the switch opener and the fite man on the locomotive. These lat? ter strike if their wages be reduced ; but the minister carinot strike ; for him there is no redress, for he works for God Think, Christain. Think how much you spend on self in selfish enjoyment, in luxuries, and remember you must one day give accouut. How will you fare, think you, in the day of reckoning, when it shall be found that your retrenchments struck first at the obligations you owe to God to whom you owe all things ? Pay your minister. He receives now far too little, and much less than the most of you It is a. shame upon you; a stigma which cannot be fe moved in this world, nor in the next, [ think, if you abate one jot or tittle from the already inadequate amount you give"to God and the Holy Church -Church Record of Alabama. &&B*B6flCBftfi?B*?B*B9BeB6B6 s Feel i ?Badly f s To-day?
