A Suggestion.

We would suggest to the Directors of the Skating Rivk, that they give a Carni- val for the especial benefit of the poor pe vle of the City— not the ' those who need pecuniary assistance — | and place the admission at ten There are hundreds of mep, women and children in town who have never yet) witnessed a Carnival, and who would be | delighted at the sight. They are not | able to pay the usual price of admission ; but if the price was reduced for the one | occasion to the sum we name, we believe that hundreds who have never visited the | Riok, would avail themselves of the op- portunity. A mere beautiful and pleas- ing sight than a Carnival on the ice of a well-lighted avd decorated Rink, can scarcely be imagined, let alone rivaled anywhere else than in similar Rinks The fine music, the glistening ice, the graceful movements of the skaters, the tasteful, appropriate, and grotesque costumes, with their quiet and gaudy, and loud colors, all combined to produce a tairy-like scene, ever-changing, and never twice producing the same combination, variegated, and truly kaleidescopical. Without being the least fulsome in praise, we may say that our people sbow a great amount of careful study of his- torical costumes, and skill and taste in adopting them. Very seldom do mistakes occur, through persons assuming charac- ters inappropriate ; but many costumes are partieularly fit and suitable, and at ovce declare the character represented. A Carnival on the ice, ia any particular, is far superior to a Bal Masque, the ordinary bull-room, or even a ** tea- shine,” for pleasant, exhilerating amuse- ment, either for participants or onlook- ers. As conducted, our Carnivals are oceasions of much innocent recreation, and healthful exercise. Some little coquetry may be indulged in, but not muvh flirtation, as the fearfully “ got up” clowns, may at any moment dash like the wind under the noses of the swains and nymphs, and with their long ears gather in the ‘soft nothings,” if any were attempted to be uttered. And Byron’s well-known line:

paupel Ss OF

cents, | | !

‘* Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again,” would be utter nonsepse iv the chill atmosphere of our Rink. From large portions of the civilized world the climate precludes ice carnivals; there- fore the inhabitants are deprived of the pretty, innocent, and mirthful sights which the Carnivals here furnish our people. We, therefore, while enjoying and appreciating our Carnivals, would wish that no one be denied the privilege of witnessing one at least ; and again repeat that the gentleman Directors of the Rink should give those of their fellow citizens, who cannot afford to pay the higher price of admission, the oppor- tunity of seeing a Carnival at a figure which is within the reach of almost all.

‘*Cheek.”’

Ovr readers will remember that, from time te time, we have published some news paragraphs respecting the move- ments of an individual named James S. Macdonald, of Halifax, who did a small brokerage business which collapsed, and caused some ‘“‘weeping aud wailing and knashing of teeth,” among many who found themselves badly “sold.” He has been non est until the other day, when, according to the Halifax papers, he re- turned, and took his seat in the Legisla- tive Council, under cover of the law ex- empting members of the Legislature from arrest. Of course the question of privi- lege was raised and the matter was discussed with closed doors, with what result we have not yet learned. It is said some old despatches from the Colosial office, the effect of which would prevent Macdonald from tak- ing his seat, have been unearthed, but he contends that he is not an “‘insol- vent” within the meaning of the term used in those documents, and that, even if he were, those despatches have ceased to become law. It will be something “new under the sun” if this individual’s con- tention is sustained, and another instance that all things are possible of accomplishment by the applica- tion of cheek. As an instarce of how an honorable man, being a member of a legislature, should act, while in in- solvency, we may mention the case of the Hon. James Skead, of Ottawa, Senator. This gentleman, the soul of honor, and highly respected by all political parties, got into fivancial diffi- culties some years ago, and voluntarily abstained from taking his seat for several sessions. In course of time, his estate turned out well, and he was allowed to resnme his seat (or was re-appointed, we don’t remember which) with the proud satisfaction of knowing that he had wronged no map, unor_ violated any well understood law, while through all his troubles he pre- served his honor and_ self-respect, and thus added to, instead otf detracted from the dignity of the honorable body of which he is now, as he was previously, a highly respected member. Mr. Skead’s leading characteristic was—not cheek.

¢and av Z.ECH Vill .

Father Osborne took these words not 80 much by way of a text to be expounded, as for the cheering thought expressed in them. They bring before us a picture of child-life, le village playing happily

reminding us of some simp scene, cirls together.

All through the Bible we read of God’s love for children. In the picture drawn of ihe Heavenly City at the restitution of all things, the streets are represented as full of boys and girls. In the life of Jesus Christ the most tender touches are in His own childhood. God cares not only for grown up people, but for little ones as well. This is our justification of the Children’s Mission.

But the work of the missionary is short. He speaks, and his words produce a certain impression; they have a certain influence on the lives of his hearers, and for awhile are laid to heart. But, as time passes, the memory of what he has said becomes fainter, and the effect upon the life less perceptible; and then, who is to carry on the work that he has begun! It is the teacher—the teacher in day school, in Sunday school, and at home. And not only the teacher, but the parent, and not only the parent, but the elder brother and sister. Weare our brothers’ keepers.

When [ speak of religion to public schoo} teachers, perhaps they will answer, ‘‘ It is no use saying anything to us. We have our mouths closed. We can teach no religion.” I know this, that nothing more than the reading of the Bible is permitted. But still much can be done, though the op- portunities are limited; and the fact that they are so is the very reason for speaking that these may not be overlooked.

Teachers have the little ones with them during a great part of their child-life; and children’s religion is greatly influenced by their day school teachers. I would speak especially to those who seem to have few opportunities of teaching religion.

Those who are much concerned with ehildren and their religion have great anxiety at present. There is abroad in the world a strong spirit of indifference to religion, which is very widespread, though churches in some places are so well filled. It is very manifest in England and the United States, though it may not yet have reached this Island. Why is this? It comes (1.) partly from general restlessness —religion takes time—time for prayer, meditation and other duties—and peo- ple will not give it time. (2.) Peoples minds are overworked. In_ business men’s minds are overtaxed; and even in schools, children’s strength is often over- strained. The first thing told them is to give up going to Church, and thinking of serious things, and so religion is set aside. (3.) Another cause is the desire for excite- ment. People are eager after pleasure, and cannot settle down, while religion demands quiet. (4.) The universal demand for that which can be tested by practical results, that everything shali be capable of demon- stration and proof. But, while certain results of religion are seen, it is largely a matter of faith, and is not capable cf mathematical proof. (5.) The chief reason, however, is the absence of religious teach- ing from the schools—the result of this being twofold. First, ignorance. Children are not taught even the Bible facts that the last generation learnt, and so don’t know

them; and _ second, that , people don’t recognize the obligations of religious duty. They sometimes take

religion on trial and if it does not suit them give itup. The reason fer this is in the want of a sense of duty towards God. Children are taught reading, and writing and arithmetic, but religion is left out. There is a great difference between the children of twenty years ago and of to-day, both in England and the States. In the States children know nothing of religion.

They grow up with the feeling that it isa matter of choice not of obligation. The idea of God is left out.

How are we to meet this difficulty? He would not discuss theories of education to- night, but offer a few suggestions that indi- viduals could carry out. Some say by Sunday Schools; it is _ their remedy for everything; but Sunday Schools do not meet the difficulty. How can one houra week make up for the neglect of the other six days? But Sunday schools do effect something, and the good that is done makes it necessary for Sunday School teachers to realize the greatness of their position. Sunday School work is not to be taken up merely because we have leisure or because we feel we must do something for the Church we have joined, and this is easy; nor is it to consist only in the mere routine of Jearning and hearing lessons. It must be in personal intercourse, in individual care, and in loving earnest watchfulness. { would gather all upin this: the cherishing of individual religion in childish souls as the only remedy for religious indifference, This is the work of the Children’s Mission ; this is the work of teachers too—cherishing personal religion in children’s souls.

How can this be done in schools) if religion is not to be spoken of ?

Ist. By allowing that children can be actu- ated by high motives. Some people think that children can only be bribed or whipped into goodness. In every child’s heart is the desire to be gcod and to avoid baseness, which only requires to be brought out. To bring this out is the teacher's work. If we wish to help them we must begin with the implanted desire after goodness. Do not speak to classes, but to individuals. Every child is different and requires differ- ent treatment. Children do not want to be bad; have faith in this and you will help them.

2nd. You must sympathize with them. The good teacher teaches by sympathy with the child’s desires, the poor one by machinery. Here. again, is work for day- school teachers. When a child is trying to be good, try to foster the spirit, address yvuurself to it, and don’t snub him. Chil- dren understand signs of sympathy, though no word may be spoken; and they feel

much, though they don’t put their feelings into words. They feel and are encouraged by this bond of sympathy between them and their teacher. There are two books

wx AMINE

which will be found useful to teachers- ‘¢ Misunderstood,” by Florence Montgom- ery; and ‘‘ Hitherto,” by Mrs. Whitney; | both of which: unfold the working of a) child’s heart.

3. Avoid reproach, Never reproach or taunt a child on account of its religion. A) child’s religion is a tender plant that will | not stand exposure. When punishment | is necessary, do not associate religion with | it, by say ing ‘‘ Going to Church doesn’t do | you much good,” Do not reproach a child with failure, and never taunt him about his church. He feels it both on his owa account and on account of his church. Whether he belongs to the Church of Eng land, or is a Presbyterian, or Methodist, or Roman Catholic, teach him to respect and honor hischurch. Recognize the possibility of a child being religious, and never make him feel sorry that he is religious. Never | make his religion bitter to him, never use it as a weapon of torture ; draw him up by it rather to a true love of God. Last of al’, there is the need of personal religion in ourselyes. We can only sympathize with children’s difficulties, when we know some

| | |

thing of the struggle, and how hard it: .-is to be good ourselves lf our religion is only a hard creed out of a book, then we cannot under-

The teacher’s influence is rather the going out of virtue than of teaching. The teachers’ mouth may be closed as regardscatechisms and formularies, but the influence of his heart is still there to be used. Let him say, I am not only to teach my children grammar, and spelling, and arithmetic, but to lead them to a higher level up towards God. How am I to do it! By my own life. Not by much teaching, but by the going out of virtue. Children understand children, and if the teacher has a childlike heart to be taught of God he| will be able to understand and make chil- dren understand him. Have the joy of God in your own heart and then you will be able to make the child’s life happy, to help him to find his own joy in being good too. The streets of the city ef God are to be full of children playing there, that is, full of hfe and joy. This joy, the children ought to have now, and the teacher and child who are drawn together by the bond of acommon love may have this joy to- gether. :

KAVANAGH’S STARTLING EVIDENCE, —— THE PLOT TO KILL UNDER-SECKETARY BURKE, ONLY.

Great excitement ensued im Kilmainham Court, Dublin, on the llth, when the car- man, Kavanagh was placed in the witness seat. Kavanagh apparently labored under great excitement. He deposed that on the 6th of May last he was at the Royal Oak public housein Park Gate street. He was engaged by four men—Brady, Kelly, and two strangers. | Brady here uttered a loud guttural threat, but no distinct words were heard. | There was no jaughter to-day

tifiedthem. Kavanagh pointed out Patrick Delaney as another of the men present. He drove the four men into the park by Island Bridge gate, by the Phoenix monu ment, and along the main road to the Gough monument, and they there got down. They said there was no sign of ‘Skin the Goat,” moaning Fitzharris, a carman. Fitzharris here shouted : ‘‘Don’t call me nicknames.”

Kavanagh, resuming, deposed as follows : After the prisoners said there was no sign of Fitzharris, witness saw an American coming from the opposite direction, and saw four men jump from the cab. The cab stayed a long way up the road, with the horse’s head turned towards Dublin. A short time after he saw two gentlemen approaching and heard acry. On looking around he saw one of the gentlemen fall. He did not see the other fall, but the four men whom he drove to the park jumped on his car, and he drove away. Brady sat on the right side of the car. Kavanagh identified Fitzharris as the driver of the cab. He de posed that he saw Lord Cavendish and Mr. Burke approaching. Some one among those he drove said the tall man was to be assassinated. Kavanagh said he sub- sequently drove by Chapel road round town to Palmerston Park. Kelly alighted at the terminus ; Brady paid him one pounce. After the men witness drove to the park had alighted there, he put a nose-bag on his horse while waiting. He heard a person speak to James Carey. Delaney afterwards instructed him (Kavanagn) to look sharp and be ready to start. Upon this he drove nearer to the waiting group, which included some person he did not know, Two gentle- men Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr. Burke, were approaching arm-in-arm. James Carey and Delaney, who had come back on the car from the place where it was waiting, jumped dewn and joined the group. Witness heard some one say ‘‘It is the tall man.” Kavanagh was then or- dered to go further away by some one, he could not tell who, repeat ‘* mind, it is the tall man.” As the gentleman came along either Carey or Delaney raised a white handkerchief. While he was wait- ing the carman, nicknamed the ‘‘ Goat,” passed him driving a passenger named Nolan toward Dublin. He was also passed by some bicyclists. The witness said on looking round he thought he only saw one gentleman fall, and saw that the other, who had an umbrella, was lying on the ground. On driving from the scene of the murder they took a turn to the left, then crossed the bridge to the right along Inchicore road. Delaney directed him where to drive. He drove rapidly until he reached Round Tower, two miles from the Park. Here Tim Kelly alighted. He then drove round to Leeson Park, stopping ‘at a public house near Leeson Bridge. Brady then paid and dismissed him. On Sunday morn- ing he met Brady at Townsend street, and received £2. Brady afterwards bought him harness.

Kavanagh further deposed that Fitz- harris on one occasion, told him that they were after Judge Lawson. Kavanagh said he became an informer on Thursday last. He was sworn into the society by Kelly; the task assigned him was to drive the boys. In reply to Mr. Murphy, Crown counsel, he said that on the 6th of May he wore a white hat, but a man on the car, who was not in
