Children.
BY MRS. H. BEEcHER STOW.
IA little child shall lead them"

One cold market morning, l looked into
a milliner's shop, and there | saw hale,
hearty, well-browned young fellow from the
country, with his long cart whip, and a long
shag coat, holding up little matter, and
turning it about on his great fist. And
what do you suppose it was? A baby's
bonnet! A little soft, blue satin hood,
with a swans down border, white as the
fallen snow, with a frill of orich blond a.
round the edge. By his side stood very
pretty woman, holding with no small pride
the baby-for evidently it was the baby.
Any one could read that fact in every
glance, as they looked at each other, and
the little hood, and then at the large blue,
unconscious eyes, and fat dimpled cheeks
of the little one 1t was evident that neith-
er Of them had ever seen baby like that
before!
''But really, Mary" says the young
man, isn't three dollars very high?"
Mary prudently said nothing, but taking
the little bonnet, tied it on to the little head,
and held up the baby. The man looked
and grinned, without another word; down
went the three dollars that the last
weeks butter came to; and as they walked
out Of the shop, it is hard to say which
looked the most delighted with the bargain.
2a"Ah9' thought I, ga little child shall
lead them!"
Another day, asI was passing a carriage
factory along one Of our back streets. /
saw young mechanic at work on wheel.
Thorough body carriage stood beside him
land there, wrapped up snugly, all hood
ed and cloaked, sat a little dark-eyed girl,
about q year. old, playing with a great
.shaggydog, AsI stopped, the man looked
up from his work and turned admiringly
towards his little companion, as much ns
70 say, assee what have got here!'

LABoR.--Man was formed for d life or
action and effort. He cannot repose, like
the eastern monarch, upon the down of
cygnets, nor, like the voluptuous Sybarite,
upon his bed Of roses. Labor is the law Of
existence. "In the sweat of thy face shalt
thou eat bread,'' was the Judgment passed
upon him in Eden~=a judgment that will
never be revoked, and from which conse.
quently, it is of no avail 10 shrink. As for
ourselt, we would not forego the blessing of
physical labor for the greatest gift In the
capacity Of mortal to bestow; it is, indeed,
the true Spartan sauce which gives zest
and SAVIOR to life's cup--bracing the nerves,
confirming the health, and rendering the
intellectual economy more efficient in the
development and consummation of its best
designs.
