I am never Alone.

An old man sat in his easy chair. He
was alone. His eyes were so dim that
he could not read the printed page-he
had long ceased to hear any common
sound, and it was only in broken whispers
that he could hold communion with those
around, and often hours passed by in
which the silence of his thought was not
broken by an outward voice. He had
outlived his generation; one by one the
companions of his boyhood aud youth
had been laid in the grave, until none re.
mained Of all those he had once known
loved. TO those to whom the future is
one bright path Of hope aud happiness,
and social love, unenviable seemed his
condition-how cherries his days!
have said he was alone. 4 gentle
and thoughtful child stole in to his silent
room, and twined her arm lovingly around
his neck. 81 feared you would be lone

WHO MADE THE FLOWERS?

The Atheist in the garden stood,
At twilight's pensivc hour,
His little daughter by his side,
Was gazing on flower.
"Oh, pick that blossom, Pa, for me-"
The little pratler said,
"It is the fairest one that blooms
Within this lowly bed"
The father plucked the chosen flower,
And gave it to the child
With parted lips and sparkling eye,
She seized the yilt and smiled.
ooh, Pa-wh" made this pretty flower,
This little violet blue,
Who gave it such 4 fragrant smell,
And such lively hue :"
4 change come DER the fathers brow;
His eyes grew strangely wild;
New thoughts within him had been stirr'd
BY that sweet, artlcss child.
The truth flashed on her fathers mind
The truth in all it power,
"There is God, my child" he said,
{" He made that little flower"

the heart of every child who reads these
