Childish Literature.
Two mothers were in council. Said
one : "Every day that my little boy is
good I read to him a fairy-story. 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.

A Bishop's Advice to a Rich
Man.
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

With careful rotation of
crops and liberal fertilizations,
cotton lands will improve. The
application of a proper ferti?
lizer containing sufficient Pot
ash often makes the difference
between a profitable crop and
failure. Use fertilizers contain?
