IN MEMORY OF LITLLE JOSEPH,! Infant son of Mr. arid Mrs. R. H. I Howard, near Kathleen. ! Written for the homk journal. ( “Suffer little children to come unto Me,” Oar blessed Savior said, \s His loving, tender hands were laid Upon each youthful head. Ax,d from the Lord the promise came To all who bear no sin, A borne in glory, love and joy With saint and cherubim. And Thou hast said that “such as these” Thy face in Heaven shall see In bright realms, and with Thee dwell Throughout all eternity. jesus to our earthly keeping Once a jewel kindly gave, But our joy was turned to weeping, For we lost it in the grave. (No, not lost.) Mourning for our vanished treasure, Then we heard our Savior say: “Cease to sorrow; for My pleasure I have borne thy gem away. “Is thy spirit filled with anguish? Have thine eyes with tears grown dim? Cease, oh,grieved ones, thus to languish; Cease, for I had need of him. “Purer than the dews of morning, Brighter than the stars of nighty See the gem My crown adorning, In a world of Heavenly light. “There, in loveliness unfading, Shines the jewel lost by thee; Not a stain of sorrow fading; Beauty purified by Me. “Let thy faith and loye be stronger, Though the tide of grief overwhelm; Thou must wait a little longer Ere I gile thee ba k thy gem. “Where the flowers of Eden blossom, Where no tears of grief are known, I will place it in thy bosom; Thou slialt wear it near My thrown.” Then let your souls forbear theirweepiDg, Lay the weight of sorrow down, Leave your gem in Jesus’keeping; Lend it to adorn His crown. / Meekly, I pray you, journeylfchither, Where loved Joseph has gone before; Christ will whisper, ‘‘Come up- thither; I will never part thee more.” t His Great Uncle. In Fond Remembrance. For eighteen months God entrust ed to the care of Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Howard little Joseph Redding, born November 25th, 1899, and died June 16th, 1901, a precious treasure, who grew to be a perfect little sunbeam in our home. Truly he was one of God’s little flowers, allowed to re main only for a season, when pluck ed from earth to live forever in the beautiful garden of Heaven. On June 16th, 1901, after an ill ness of nine days, and after all had been dene for his relief that loving hands could do, and while those who loved him still watched with anx ious, bleeding hearts by bis bed, the messenger of eternal life came and bore the sweet, pure little spirit back to the God who gave it, just as the noon-time hour was being pass ed on an idea,l Sabbath day. We cannot know why God thus deals with His children, but we do know He can make no mistake; then let us humbly bow to the dispensa tions of His providence and in our hearts say: Thy will be done.

Cuba’s Agricultural Resources. The island of Cuba is a gigantic farm of 28,000,000 acres of mar velously fertile soil. Thirteen million acres remain as virgin forest. Her present population is a little above one and a half mil lions. Were Cuba as densely populat ed as Massachusetts, her census would show 11,000,000 inhabi tants, An equal density with that of England would give her upward of 22,000,000. Her abilU ty to support a population per square mile equivalent to that of England,' so large a percentage of which is dependent upon manu facturing interests, is somewhat doughtful, from the fact that Cuba presents little or no possi bility of ever becoming a manu facturing center. In a measure, the comparison with Massachu setts is also faulty, for the same reason. Yet, in the latter case, the vastly greater fertility of Cu ban soil would offset the manu facturing feature, and there is lit tle doubt that Cuba, along the line of her particular agricultural advantages, can provide a com fortable and reasonably profit able living for a. population of 10,000,000 of moderately indus trious citizens.—From “Cuba’s Industrious possibilities,” by Al bert G. Robinson, in the Ameri can Monthly Review of Reviews for August. When Mr. Carnegie’s parents left Scotland for this country they had not money enough to pay the fares, and Mrs. CarnegifU borrowed $2 from a friend in Dun- fermiline. The debt was lost sight of and never paid. The other day, upon the matter com ing to the attention of Mr. Car negie, he looked up the descen dants of his mother's friend, of whom he found two, both in poor circumstances. Upon these two he settled incomes that will make them independant for life The $2 had, after all, been drawing big interest during the time it was unpaid.—Ex. ;—*»••».

The Boys Wanted. Montreal Witness. j “I want a young man to go into j my office,” said a busy man of af- j fairs to the head of a business i high school not long ago, /‘audj my requirements are very simple. I I want an earnest, industrious} boy, who can spell, write a good! hand, possess at least a fair knowledge, and who can carry out intelligently the directions that are given to him.” “Your requirements are too hard to meet,” replied the teach er. “Plenty of boys are looking for positions, but few of them like the conditions you impose. They ■do not think it worth while to learn to .spell; we do everything to persuade them of the import ance of the accomplishment, but the boys hear of great and suc cessful men who cannot spell, and many of them are led to think they may get along in the world without that accomplishment. Others do not relish the persistent work of acquiring a good hand writing, or of learning to run the typewriter skillfully, which is now so necessary in many lines of work. They want easier roads to success. It is to be hoped that this teach er fakes an unnecessarily gloomy view of the boys of the present generation. He doubtless does. It is the testimony, however, of all employers that only a small part of the young men seeking posi tions compehend the real serious ness of life’s competition, and the necessity of preparation m these seeming trifles which count to ward perfection.
