1ah from The Germdn.-ln that
beautiful part Of Germany which bor-
dcrs ON The Rhine, there IS noble cas-
Ito, which, as yon travel OH the western
banks Of the river, you may see lifting
lis apcient towers ON the opposite side,
above the grove Of trees winch are about
as old as Itself About forty years ago,
there lived IN hat castle a noble gen
tleman, whom we will call Baron. This
Baron had an only son, who was NOT
only comfort TO his father, but bless
sing TO all who lived on his fathers
land.
1t happened on n certain occasion,
that this Young nan beng from home,
there c.nne French genlleman to see
the old Baron. As soon rs this gentle
man came into the castle, he began to
talk Of ms Heavenly Father, in terms
that chilled the old mans blood on
which the Baron reproyed him, saying,
Are you mol afraid of offending God
wboreigns above, by speaking IN such
a manner z
The gentleman said he knew nothing
/ about God, for he lad neYer seen him,
Tire Baron did mol notice at this time
what the gentleman said, but the next
morning took hun about his castle aud
grounds, aud took occasion first 10 show
hun very beautiful picture which hung
on the wall
! The gentleman admired the picture
very much, and sad, Whoever drew
thai picture knows very well how to use
his pencil
Ny son drew that picture, said the
Baron.
Then your son3is avery clever man,
replied the gentleman.
The BaroD then went with his visitor
into the garden, and showed him many
beautiful flowers and plantations of for
est trees.
WHO has the ordering ofthis garden 2
said the gentleman.
My son, replied the Baron; he
knows every plant, may say, from the
cedar of Lebanon to the hyssop on the
wall
Indeed, SAID the gentleman, snail
think Very highly of him soon
The Baron then took him into the viii
lage, and showed him small, neat cot
tage, where his son had established a
school, and where he caused all the
poor children, who had lost their pa
rents, to be received and nourished at
I his own expense.
The children in this house looked so
innocent, and so happy, that the French
gentleman was very much pleased, and
when he returned TO the castle he said to
the Baron, What a happy man you are
to have so good sonP
How do you know ! have a good
