HUMILITY AND PERsEvERANcE.-.4 Fd-
Bile. From the side of mountain there
! flowed little rivuet-its voice was scarce
ly heard among the rustng of the leaves
and grass around, and its shallow and NAT
row stream might be overlooked by the
traveller. This brook, although small, was
inspired with proud spirit. and murmured
against the decree of Providence, which
had cast its lot so lowlv.
II wish were cloud, to roll all day
through the heavens, painted so beautifully,
as those lovely shapes are colored, and new.

least, wish were broad river, perform
ing some useful duty in the world Shame
on my weak waves and unregarded bub-
bling. | might as well have never been,
as to be thus puny, Insignificant, and USE

When the brook had thus complained,
II beautiful tall flower, that bent over its
bosom, replied,
"Thou art in error, brook. Puny and in
significant thou mayest be useless thou art
not, for | owe half my beauty, perhaps my
life to thy refreshing waters. The plants
adjacent to thee are greater and richer than
the others. The Creator has given thee a
duty, which, though humble, thou must not
neglect. Besides, who knows what may
be thy future destiny? Flow on, beseech
thee"
The brook heard the rebuke and danced
along lis way more cheerfully. On and
on it went, growing broader and broader.
| BY and by other rivulets poured their crys-
tai waters into it, and swelled its DEEPEN

pear the fairy creatures of the wave, dart

AS its channel grew wider and wider, and
yet other branches came gliding into it, the
stream hogan 10 assume the importance of ii

rolled on in meandering course through a
teeming country, freshening whatever i,
touched, and giving the whole scene a new
character of beauty.
As 1t moved on now in majesty and pride
the sound of its gently heaving pillows
formed itself into the following words =
"At the outset of life, however humble we
may seem, late may have in store for us
great and unexpected opportunities of do

of these we should ever pass on without
despair or doubt, trusting that persever-
ance will bring in its own. reward. How
little dreamed when first sprang on my
