They never give us half our rights, I know that this is so; Aint I a boy ? and can't I see i The way that these things go ? The little girls are petted all, Called "honey," "dear," and "sweet," But boys are cuffed at home and school, And knocked about the street. Mv sister has her rags and dolls. . Strewn all about the floor, While old dog Growler dares not put i -His nose inside the door. 9 And if I go upon the porch In hopes to have a play. Some one calls out, "Hallo, young chap, Take that noisy dog away!" My hoop is used to build a fire, My bail is thrown aside; And mother let the baby have \fTV fnn KnAonon if nrin/i If ooinpany should come at night, The boys can't sit up late; And if thev come to dinner, then The boys, of course, must wait.

If there are fire-works, we can't get A place to see at all; And when the soldiers come along, We're crowded to the wall.

But never mind, boys?we will be The grown men by and by; Then.I suppose 'twill be our turn To snub the smaller boy. Humorous Department. good Joke on a harried man. A joke is told of a certain gentleman which is too good to be lost Our friend, who shall be nameless, purchased a pair of pants a few days ago, which, upon being tried on at home, he found to be a little bit too long. That night he remarked to his wife that he wished her to take off about an inch from each leg, which would make them the desired length. Being fond, as a good many wives are, of teasing her husband, she told him, "flat-footed " that she wouldn't do anything of the kind; and he retired, finally, without having obtained a promise from her that she would attend to the matter. Soon after he had left for his room, however, she, as a matter of course, clipped off the superfluous inch, as she had been requested to do. The family is comprised of six female members in addition to the "good man," and it chanced that each one of the other five, who were in adjoining rooms (including the mother of our friend), heard the dispute between the man and wife about the pants; and after the latter had taken off the inch and retired, the old lady, desiring to keep peace in the family," and not knowing what her daughter-in law had done, cautiously slipped into the room and cut off another inch. In this way, did each of the five ladies, unknown to the others, and all with the praiseworthy object of preventing any misunderstanding between the married couple, clip an inch from the legs of the gentleman's trowsers. The following morning, All unconscious of what had taken place during the night, he rolled up the pants in a piece of paper, and took them to bis tailor to be shortened to the desired length. Upon a hasty glance, the latter ventured , the opinion that they were already rather short. But the ownet was too well posted on that score, and insisted that they were fully an inch too long. The tailor had no more to say, and our friend retired. On the following Saturday he called for the pants and took them home ; and the next mr\rninrv urVinn lirt nomo /Ml f frv niif Kimcolf inside of them, he was supremely disgusted at finding that the legs reached only a trifle below the knees! In other words, they had been altered to the fashion of a century ago, when knee breeches were in vogue. He straightway accused his tailor of having ruined his pants, and his indignation was expressed in language anything but mild. His wife heard him, and came to the rescue of the Knight of the Shears?explaining that she had taken an inch from each of the legs; and her acknowledgment was followed by that of each of the other five ladies, when it was discovered that, altogether, the legs had been shortened to the extent of seven inches! A Witty Parson.?A Scotch clergyman by the name of Watty Morrison, was a man of most irrepressible humor. On one occasion a young officer scoffed at the idea that it required so much time and study to write a sermon as ministers pretend, and offered a bet that he would preach half an hour on any passage in the Old Testament without the slightest preparation. Mr. Morrison took the bet, and he gave for a text, "And the ass opened his mouth and he spake." The parson won the wager, the officer being rather disinclined to employ his eloquence upon the text. On another occasion, Mr. Morrison entreated an officer to pardon a poor soldier for some offence he had committed. The officer agreed to do so if he would in turn grant him the first favor he should ask. Mr. Morrison agreed to this. In a day or two the officer demanded that the ceremony of baptism should be performed on a puppy. The clergyman agreed to it; and a party of many gentlemen assembled to witness the the novel baptism. Mr. Morrison desired the officer to hold up the puppy, as was customary in the baptism of children, and said: "As I am a minister of the Church of Scot land, I must proceed according to tbe ceremonies of the Church." "Certainly," said the Major; "I expect all the ceremony." "Well, then, Major, I begin by the usual queston, ' You acknowledge yourself the father of this puppy?" ? A roar of laughter burst from the crowd; the officer threw the candidate for baptism away, and thus the witty minister turned the laugh against the infidel, who intended to deride the sacred ordinance. His Wish.?He stepped into a green grocer's with a vacant, weary, careworn look on his face. "Do you want some potatoes 7" "I never eat them. I can't remember exactly what I came in for." "Perhaps you wan't some coffee?" "Ain't it funny I can't remember ?" remarked the stranger, as he scratched his chin with the back of his hand, and scanned everything behind the counter, in a wild but ineffectual effort to brush up his memory. "Do you want milk?" "No, that ain't it." "Is it macaroni, mnstard, chow-chow, soap or wine-jelly ?" "None of them, sir." "Possibly you want a small measure of beets ?" "Indeed, I do not. Then his eyes sparkled and he said: "I have it now. I remember what I came in, for; it all comes back to me like a dream of love." "What do you want ?" "Well, now, it's as plain as day. Wasn't it funny I didn't think of it before?" "It was rather strange; but what will you have ?" "You won't get mad, will you ?" "No, sir." "Well, then, I'll tell you. I just stepped in here to ask you if you'll scratch my back a little for me, 1 have prickle heat." fading far the JWbftatb. CONDUCTED BY REV. ROBERT LATHAN. [Original.1 BURDEN BEARERS. In both Church and State, there is a class of individuals who, with propriety, may be denominated burden bearers. Whoever is curious enough to examine into the matter, will 6nd that a few individuals have placed upon their shoulders nearly all the burdens of society. The taxes that support the government are paid by only a few persons, when the whole number of the population of the country is estimated. In every country, a very considerable number of individuals render no direct pecuniary aid to the government, and a still greater number contribute very little. The burden of sustaining all social institutions falls upon the shoulders of a few. What is true in the State, is true in the Church, and more manifest. The civil government has the power to force all to contribute to its support; tbe Church does Dot possess this power. The civil government can extort involuntary contributions ; but the Church claims no such power, and expects to be sup ported only by voluntary gifts. Since the highest order of civilization, and, consequently, the best form of civil government cannot exist where there is no'Churcb, the burden of sustaining both Church and State falls upon a few. Our Saviour calls his people "the salt of the earth." Without Christianity, no form of civil government is stable. In fact, without Christianity, the best form of civil government cannot be established over any people in any country. Take Christianity away from England, and the pillar upon which rests all her civil institutions is removed, and nothing remains but a mass of ruins. The history of England proves this. No one conversant with the history of that land for the last nine hundred years, will call the statement in question. Previohs to the introduction of Christianity into England, it was the home of savages. To-day, it is what Christianity has made it. What is true of England, is true of every other Christian land. Their civil governments are not to be compared with the government of Pagan nations. The burden of supporting these civil governments falls upon the shoulders of a few devout and energetic Christians. The moral character of these few give moral character to the whole nation. It is customary to speak of America as a Christian nation ; yet far less than one-half of the American people are professed Christians, and a very considerable number of those who profess Christianity, add nothing to the moral weight of Christianity, aud contribute very little, if any, to its support. Such being the case, a few individuals give character to the whole nation, and exercise, over the mass, a controlling influence. There is scarcely a j city, town or village in the land, but contains as many drinking saloons as it does churches, and for the support of these dens of iniquity, ] the people contribute fully twice as touch as is contributed for the support of all Christian J enterprises, and for the education of the children of the country. The supporters of these drinking saloons.contribute little to the. support of the gospel, or for the education of the children of the country; hence, the burden of educating the youth of the land and supporting Christian institutions, falls upon a few faithful souls who are laboring for the wellfare of the masses. A snarling philosopher, before the Christian era, declared that the multitude, in hfe ' day, were always wrong. Such seems to be j the case yet; but it seems strange that the multitude should desire to be called by a name > which they labor to blot out. Why should a man, who makes his living by highway rob- ] bery, be called an honest man, or an honest i man be called a highway robber ? Why should a man who labors, in every way that jj he can, to prevent the spread of Christianity, ] be called a Christian ? It amounts to noth- J ing to say that he resides in a land of church- t es and academies. A man may reside next ' door to a gambling saloon. Such a place J would be a very undesirable locality ; but the man who lives in nearest proximity to the i place, may abhor, in his soul, the deeds of [ darkness which are there perpetrated. Not only have a few to bear the burden of sup- $ porting civil and religious institutions, but 1 they have to stem the torrent of opposition. The multitude tear-down and the few build up. For the good of the whole, the few make all the voluntary sacrifices. J Notwithstanding the fact that the few Chris- ( tians bear all the burdens and make all the s sacrifices, the multitude seldom give them any f credit for their acts. Good order, peace anil Christian morality are of little worth in the eyes of the multitude; consequently, those who promote these things are estimated as if , they had done nothing. The city guards are treated with as little respect as the midnight plunderers. Walking with God.?The difficulty which most people have in religion, is to bring the thought of God into their daily lives. His very greatness makes it hard to connect him with homely, every day matters. We get some sense of him in church, or in the prayer-meeting, or in rare hours of exalted feeling. But when we get into the busy world, ' .til.ara mftof nf nnr 1Jf? io anpnt rind fiidpa n U\.l \J UiV/OW VA VU? ?*?w aw w vv? .w?ww away into heaven that is farther off than the blue sky above our heads. This is a great loss to us. It is neglect on our part of the highest opportunity. God walks with us, in ] closest nearness, at every moment. There is in hirn, if we could learn to take it, a provision of helpfulness, of sympathy, of sufficiency, e for every step in the whole round of our daily y life. The very things that seem insignificant 15 and without spiritual meaning, are set round us by God as a part of our education. And if we habitually recognise his presence c in them, all the incidents of business and 0 our household care and daily walk would become threads of gold, holding us in the I c sweetest and noblest friendship with our {0 Heavenly Father. 5ST Just to the extent that men set up false ! ^ or fictitious standards of morality or truth, to ! s that extent do they abandon the truth. Your , Irish Catholic will not eat meat on Friday,' li but he will get drunk and fight on Sabbath ? afternoons. Every man has a conscience in some degree of alertness of torpidity; and that conscience demands some kind of satis- j faction. The heathen satisfies it by an obla-1 tion to a wooden idol; the formalist by a round of formalities. A man can cajole and I quiet his conscience by making virtue in them. % When you are weary of strife and ^ clamor, turn to the peace of God. How n calm and restful is the feeling that his love |j and light bring to the believing soul! Nay, i we must not too long look down on the earth tl smoking with unholy strife. We shall faint ^ unless we often turn our eyes to the sweet' heavens and inhale the breath of God's morn- ing of grace, which is surely rising on the J troubled landscape, with healing and redeinp-1 tion. Experience has proven that the best reme- b dy for Colic, Diarrhoea, Teething and other v troubles of Infancy is Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup.; * Price 25 cents. i THE GENUINE DR. C. McIANE'S Celebrated American WORM SPECIFIC OR VERMIFUGE. SYMPTOMS OF WORMS.
