and you will soon fee! warm"
Still the little boys fingered; the conts and
Iippets--tlle warm scarlet tippets their uunis
had knit-were on, and their niitcns in their
hands; but still they fingered. Run along
little boys" nguin said mamma, ego and hear
what the pine trees will say"
Arthur looked up; | never heard them
say anything; whnt will they say mamma 2"
"They almost always say something TO
me-" answered mamma. "The other day,
when WIS coming home from Uncle How
ards they said Hurry home fast; little Bes-
sic wants TO see you; so do the little boys
And one very bright morning heard them
say, "Ilow pleasant it is how good God is
be cheerful, he happy" Herbert and Arihnr
listened with interest. "Come," said Arthur,
" ] should like to know what they will say to
us"
They hurried out; and little Bessie watch
ed them through the gate and up the bill, MS
long us she could see their red tippets. Soon
they came to the pine grove.
:" don't lenr anything" said Herbert
The wind blew through the branches with n
murmuring sound. 81 hear something" re-
piled Arllnr "bnt j, is only, How cold it
is! Run along, or you will freezc.'"
On they went; the wind was piercing
cold; and their fingers ached. Arthur was
ready to cry; and Indeed, when they reached
their aunt's warm breakfast room, the tears
were beginning TO start. But Aunt Louisa
was very kind; she warmed their fingers
gnve them biscuit TO eat, and better than
all, spoke kind, comforting words to them
Then with their pail of milk, and cuke fol
Bessie, the little boys started for home. The
wind was now behind them, the sun had
grown warmer, and their hearts were full o
pleasant thoughts. They forgot the pine
trees till they were nearly opposite them
Then they listened, aud the trees seemed tC
say, +" Happy little boys how kind everybod,
is! Try TO be good"
| They were soon Mt home, aud with brigh
faces sat down TO warm their feet, and re
count what they had seen aud heard.
And what did the pine trees say ?" asket
mamma.

thur, but it seemed as if they were nlmos
crying when we went, nnd they were a,

"Ah! yon have found out the secret" sal,

what is in Our own hearts. They sighel
and complained when you were going feel

bright aud happy, the wind through iii,
branches spoke OF sunshine and hnppiness
Try To keep the kind, loving thoughts il
