Remembrance of past Benefits.


Remembrance of past Benefits.
once called on neighbor, says old Hum
phrey, who was watering an old stump of ge-
ranium, which seemed to me to give very little
promise of either green leaf or flower
"Neighbor," said l "your labor will be
lost"
"Perhaps So" said he, but I cun hardly
part with my old tree tor all that. cannot
help calling to my mind what it has been, and
how often it has made my window look cheerful
with its fresh green leaves, and its fine scarlet
flowers"
This reply completely silenced e,efor I
thought in my heart that my neighbor was right
ann was wrong. 1t is good thing to remem-
Der past advantages.
called on II friend who was giving mouth
tul of oats i'll a sieve TO ON old horse grazing in
his paddock.
"You may corn your horse, said I, as much as
you please, but 1t is not at all likely that he will
ever be able to work again."
"True," replied he, "blt have no wish to
forget the work he has done for me. Many a
weary day has he been my companion, carrying
me in my gig; and while old Dnger lives
hope never to grudge him a nouthful of grass OIL
corn"
Fright, thought I, and the feeling is e cred
table one, but it is not always, nor often that
poor brute falls into such good hands. shall
think the better OF you for your humanity"
81 called on relative who was waited on by
a very old servant, who made sau bunders; in
deed, the old man was almost blind and very
feeble. "OId Peters day is over" said I, " snt
blunders he makes and sad blunders be viii
make, for his day is gone BY"
81 know 1t" replied my relative, "but if hi
day Is gone by, mine is not, and while liv
Peter shall have home under the roof Of tn
master he has 81 faithfully served. He has bee
good servant 10 me, and to my father befor
me, and right little do expect from him no,
in the way of service. Peter has served me, an
tits now my turn OF serve Peter"
honored my kind hearted relative for his re
membraDce OF services, aud for his attention t
an old servant. So that, to speak the truth,
got good from my neighbor, my friend and M
relative.
Christian reader are there none round abou
US whose iDfirnMties we onght to bear with;
whom we are neglecting, and treating with les
kindness than we ourselves, if in their situation
could expect? Are there none whose past Sc
vic s we are forgetting or underwriting, WI
have just claim on our respect and Thankful
ness? Let us take this mater to heart, and gi,
an honest reply
