The Use and Abuse of Power.
CONVENTION, BY EMILY BOSWELL.
The God who made us is omnipotent. All His creatures possess the gift of power in a greater or lesser degree. The crowned head has it in common with his most de- graded subject. The babe in its cradlo is
It has been no rare thing in the history of the past for a woman’s tears and prayers, or a hero’s words, to sway a multitude or control a mob. The ability to do some- thing is not peculiar to the human race. Weshare it with the brute creation ; yea, with the humbler forms of life, exampled by the finny tribe and the teeming myriads of the insect world. We must also accord a certain degree of power to the most insig- pificant plant ; for, small as it is, it can decompose carbonic acid, setting free the oxygen and appropriating the carbon,
the species. Nature’s forces opposition to their power? Who can con- trol the wind! As it sweeps over land and sea, working its will on forest and home- stead and ship,
HOW CAN MAN PROTECT HIMSELF
or his possessions? The mighty waves! burst from their boundaries, and staying for nothing human, carry devastation and ruin on their track. And what of fire?)
Wind,
friend ; let it escape, it is fitly named a) fiend. Yet what can the skill of the chemist produce or diseovor that will equal it as a purifier—purified as by fire. Disease enters @ locality, finds a lodging place, and commences the work of death, Human power is baffled, a seeming conquest proves a disastrous failure. A fire breaks out, its work of cleansing is as thorough as its
work of destruction. The great fire was the salvation of London. Does nature ever abuse her power! We
are apt to answer yes. We, who have only finite minds, who, at our best, can only deal with the visible, presume to sit in judgment on the work of Him who sees from the beginning to the end; whose knowledge of the future is as perfect as that of the past or the present. Does not nature use her power wisely? The beauties of sea and sky, of forest and field, of leaf and flower, are free to all. Scattered broadcast over the land are rarer gems than art ever produced—yems for the poor as well asthe rich. The feeling of power is a pleasurable one; the feeling of res- ponsibility, entailed on every right-think-
jing man and woman by its possession is
not so pleasurable. But we dare not shirk our responsibility. It has been said by a wise man that no human being is fitted for an irresponsible position. That the records of all time show that the very feeling of being possessed of autocratic power tends to make its possessor a tyrant. ‘The realization of the omniscience of the Great Judge is not forcible enough to the aver- age mind ; we need the constant calling to account by some earthly head. The more often we have to
RENDER AN ACCOUNT OF OUR DEEDS,
the more certain it is that they will not merit condemnation. Siberian salt mines «nd prisons, the Bastile, and the horrible barbarities perpetrated in Turkey instance despotic rule. Each of us reigns over a triple kingdom, physical, intellectual and spiritual. It is not within our unaided strength to bring these three into a glorious equality. Yet with this aim before us we prepare for a task of gigantic pro- portions; but the reward of successful endeavor fully compensates for all exertions made in accomplishing it.
The use of the powers we possess will in- cresse them in the right direction. The abuse of them will decrease them in like ratio in that direction, and the bent for evil, whether active or passive, being given, the downward tendency soon becomes evident. What at first was almost involun- tary, becomes the fixed purpose of the evil ; and the continuous influence of wrong do. ing dulls the moral consciousness, till the man sinks low enough in the scale of humanity to take pleasure in using his power for purposes of cruelty and op- pression.
““O, well for him whose will is strong !
He sufters, but he will not suffer long ;! He suffers, but he cannot suffer wrong.
But ill for him who, any not with time, SS the strength of Heaven—descended
And ever weaker grows through acted crime.”
Purely spiritual; purely mental or purely physical power, or a combination of any two of the three, will not make amav. The three blended together in a harmonious
whole denotes the completion of an under- taking which calls for
THE APPROVAL OF GOD AND MAN,
The three so united forms a prince among men ;a king whose efforts for the good of ot! ers are incressing. The reflex action of these deeds, causing a glow in the soul of the doer, enables him to take a humble pleasure in the fact, that he has not used his power to leave pitfalls for the weak and unwary all along the pathway of life. When physical power is cultivated at the expense of others the man becomes allied to the animal. Yet, physical power is not to be despised; it is a grand thing and we are bound to cultivate; but not to the lowering of our higher nature. Indeed, taking into account recently published statistics, it is incumbent on all to strive to reach the highest point attainable in the standard of physical perfection. Muscular force has always been admired by the majority, and not without good reason. Time and space are both lacking to recount one by one the names of men who have used their wonderful power for the ameli- oration of sutiering, for the overturning of thrones kept up by oppression and for the destruction of wrong-doers. Give to such the praise due them. It is an acknow-
ledged fact that the leaders in athletic

and the once glorious inteilect shows only .in the mutterings of the idiot or the wild phrensy of the mariic, Yet, how often the eager student, considering his body but a necessary weight to prevent him being too _ positively ethereal, pursues his researches

But the day of reckoning surely approaches; the consequences of overwork must be met. Spiritual power, pertaining to the highest part of the nature is the most important of the three for time and eternity. It throws a lustre over both physical and mental achievements. Through a long list of patriarchs and prophets, standing out brightly as possessors of this power, we
come to the mighty St. Paul, the lesser,

necessary power to reach our ideal stand- ard; but the faculties, sharpened by their to do so, gain so muh good, that the reai within our gasp out- weighs the ideal ae gold outweighs tinsel. IJ think that we, aa teachers, are credited with more power than we really possess. We have only five or six hours out of the twenty-four in which to influence eur scholars for good or evil. The changes have been rung again and again on the teachers’ responsibility, They are sup- posed to be able to counteract the effects of bad training, no training, and positively Vicious home training ; to act as preventors | of crime ; to make law-abiding citizens of | those whose parents fear no law. We do “occupy responsible positions, and to fiil these positions capably we need a many- sided nature. We need power to discover ithe strongest element for good in a boy who hates long division and all school work, dut has absolute faith in the ability ‘of a bent pin to extract amusement from his seat-mate. We need to have sympathy jwith the child who brings to school, and lovingly fingers two or three times a day, /& miscellaneous collection which has marvel- lous power of drawing the attention to one ‘particular seat.

trouble which faith in Him brought to His notice. The power of the community is greater than that of the individual. As the aggregate of units increases, so the power increases, till now and again we see a band of brotherhood woven round the whole civilized world, as it unites to
CONDEMN SOME DEED OF WRONG,
or to cast wreathes at the feet of some bloodless victor. We have over us the authority of the city, of the province, of the dominion, of the Empire, ever gaining in forceas we ascend the ecale. Each of these receives more or less censure from the general public. But we must remember that no government can err if its individual members walk in strict integrity. ‘This is where the responsibility of each comes in. It is, or was in the power of one, or of a number of ones to prevent, or to have pre- vented a considerable portion of the evil which is resting, and has rested on our land as well as other countries. Individual action must be accounted for. Public opinion is not infallible, but it generally
gives a trustworthy verdict. It is not easily tampered with. Sometimes it has shown its power by questioning
the divine right of kings to treat their subjects asso many machines. The horrocs of war are appalling in any case, but words are inadequate to express the misery of acivil war. The troublous times of the Stuarts, the French Revolutions, the struggles of and with Nihilism in Russia, had their first cause in the abuse of power by those in authority. The people grasped the reins of command when possible, and following the example set them, drove the fiery steed through human life and liberty as thoroughly as their sometime masters had done. This was only when goaded to desperation by the cruel treatment received from those whose first thought should have been for the well-being of the subject. Some one has well remarked that the sharpest test of a man’s character is in his treatment of what isinhis power. ‘‘Money is power,” isa saying trite but true, and verified by the fact that
MEN HAVE BARTERED BODY AND SOUL
for it. The same may be said of alcohol. But their power is naught; they are only inert substances, if man does not put them in action. And for the evil wrought by alcohol, appalling in its depth and height and extent, and horrible in its conse- quences, man is responsible. The unscru pulousness, the brutality, the appetite, which often demands human life, developed by the traffic in strong drink, is terrible. {t is in the power of man to destroy this Moloch. To celebrate and support the worship of this idol is an abuse of power, the evil effects of which will last as long as eternity. Spiritual, mental and physical power go down before it, and, like death, it loves a shining mark. Self-distrust and the force of circumstances have kept many Hampdens, Miltons and Cromwells
.| from leaving their names on fame’s records.
Many, who have been shining lights in music, sciences and arts, would have per- ished unknown, except to their own im- mediate neighborhood, if observant eyes had not discovered the hidden merit. Far more praise is due to those who, by their own exertions, have attained to high positions. Some people are only the crea- tures of circumstance, tossed hither and thither by every change. Like the thistle- down they rise and fall with the wind. Some make their own circumstances, if the expression may be used. Some, in spite of the drawbacks which surround them, sur- mount every obstacle, conquer every diffi- culty and reach the desired goal. What we have not the ability to do to-day, we may accomplish to-morrow, perhaps afier a year’s discipline. Perhaps FAILURE AFTER FAILURE
will be required to teach us the road to success. Failure when the aim is high is more worthy of praise than success with a low aim. How much to be censured is a life with no aim! A life which drifts with the current, and whose only treasures are the flotsar: and jetsam of the tide. One individual has but one talent, his neighbor may have ten. The one improved and kept active is more useful and noble than the ten preserved by non-use. So carefully preserved from contact with the outer world that, when emergency calls for their sppearance, the owner finds them choked to death by the dust of neglect. The posses- sors of ten original talents are rare, but the one talent, constantly employed, miracul- ously multiplies as a recompense for the earnest worker. We may not possess the
at work, originating something which will impress the seemingly unimpressible. Our work presents many difficulties and brings us little reward. The greatest satisfaction that will come to any teacher is that of well-performed duty. We meet every day with that which causes us to mentally grind our teeth; yet the effort to bring har- mony out vf discord repays the musician. The companionship of children is in itself a blessing. In return for what we get from our scholars,let us use every power we possess to fit them for life's discipline ; and to sweeten the daily life of some who iind school their happiest place. Surely the wrath of en outraged Heaven must fa!l on those who hurt the tender heart of a little child.

Ireland. Ireland seems more thoroughly under control of the Nationalists than ever. Boy- cotting is carried on to a greater extent and more thoroughly than ever before, The law of the national league is superior to the law of the land. Strafford never devised anything better deserving the name ‘*thorough” than the system of working of which the following is an illustration:—‘‘A widow who has a daughter and grand child- ren Jiving with her was boycotted for lend- ing horses to a magistrate. She did not get any formal notice of the fact, but heard some rumors of dissatisfaction. The first intimation she received was when her laborers left her employment. She sent
to the baker and butcher in the town, but neither would supply her wants. She sent into Limerick, and
for a few days was supplied; but the fact that she was boycotted became known, and the traders refused to give herany more. She went herself t. a well-known bakery es‘ablishment in Limerick, where she had been dealing for twenty-five ycars, and which had a branch in the town she lived in, and remonstrated with the proprietor. He told her that he knew nothing at all about it, and that he would give orders that she should be supplied. She returned and informed the manager, who eaid that ‘*the devil a loaf she should get.” The menager went into Limerick and informed his employer that he would not give any bread to her, that the employer could dis- miss him if he chose, but he warned him that if he did every man in his empioy- ment would leave him, The effect of this was that she was still refused, and if,it had not been for the pelice, who gave her some food, she and her family might have starv- ed. She wrote to her brother in Kilmerock to ask him to send and take the children, as she had no ou.e to mind them. The fact becoming known his own neighbors warned him not to send, asif he did he would him- self be boycotted. The result was that she had to make her submission to the league and sign a pledge never to supply the police or other authorities again. The master of the county hounds has subscribed £100 to the funds of the league as the price of being allowed to hunt.”

One of the Government steamers left Quebec for Labrador last week, loaded with fuel and flour to alleviate the sufferings of the poor fishermen and their families at that place. It is said that the fisheries have proved almost a complete failure. The cod and mackerel have disappeared, and the oil factories have had to close down, throwing a number of hands out of employ- ment. These have been obliged to beg for a living. Articles of food have long since reached such fabulous prices as to be en- tirely out of the reach of the poor. The supply of flour is almost exhausted, and to add to the sufferix.gs and privationr, scurvy bes made its appearance and many have died. The sufferings of the women and children beggars description, the little ones dying in the arms of their mothers, who have no nourishment to give them, and cold and exposure complete the wretch- edness.
