then bad thoughts came into my head, and said,
God is good to that little girl but he is not good
to me- She has nice clothes to wear and good
tbinos to eat. and am cold and hungry, and my
poor mother is sick at home" just then bright
piece of money fell out of the little girls hand,
and saw it sink in the snow The child did not
stoop to look for it, but did, and found it, and
when looked at the bright money, thought this
would buy good food for us, and some tea for my
poor mother"
"My child, nv child" said the sick woman,
"you did not keep the money!
"No, mother, did not keep the money said
Jane.
"Thank Godw said her mother.
"When picked up the bright money, saw
the child and her nurse 90 into a fine large brick
house and shut the door and then / went up the
steps of that house and Pulled the bell. \ man
came to the door, and when it open, saw a
sweet lady in the hall, and she had the little girl
in her arms who had lost the money. Then l
said to the man, Here is piece of money which
the little girl lost in the street. The man took
the money and shut the door; but before I got
off the steps, he came after me, and told me to
come back, for the lady wanted to speak to me.
So went back, and the kind lady talked to me,
and took hold of my hands, and let me go into a
warm room and when she heard how sick you
were, she sent for some food which she gave me
TO eat and then she gave me all these things, and
said she would come to us to day."
"Jane, has not God taken care of us z" said the
poor woman.
"Oh, YES, mother" said Jane at was very
sinful in me to have such bad thoughts in my
heart"
Just then there was a knock at the door, and il
came the good lady. She had brought many nice
things for the poor woman, and she was soon wei
and strong again; and then she sent them a loaC
of wood, and gave James mother work to do; anC
; when Jane was old enough, the lady took her tc
live in her house to work for her for she said sh
was glad to have one TO work for her who would
, not take what was not her own.
So you see how God takes care of those VIII,
trust in him. If Jane had kept the money,
l would soon have been spent, and she would neve
$ have found the kind lady who took such good car
5 of her and her mother 1t would have made he
poor mothers heart very sad it would have mad
it more easy for her to sin again, and God wou
: have been very angry with her.

yer forget that God says to you, Thou shalt no

BEAR SroRY.-A day or two snce as Mr.. Solo,
mon Reed, of Dorset Vermont, was cutting wood at
some distance from his house, very large bear stole
up behind and ordered him to stop. He let fly his
axe at brun, but it missed and brun in turn let fy
at him. Solomon then seized club and let fly at
his shaggy adversary heavily that it broke, and he
began 10 think that he would have to knock under
Not having the wherewitha to knock him with, he
made of his fists, expecting every moment that
he should be compelled TO cave in. A dreadful hug
followed, and the two rolled over the ground like
a couple of wrestlers in ring. Not liking to bear
it in this fashion, Solomon, by desperate effort, got
Bruin under him, holding his head down, and sitting
plump astride the beast. The latter, however, soon
began TO bear up, and all at took to his heels
like nfurated bull-Soomon all the while astride
and compelling the bear to follow his own nose, with
slight deviation of his jaws from straight line as
possible. On they drove furious rate--the rider
and the ridden-the former endeavoring to make
bride out Of the bears ears, and the bear striving
hard TO make bit out of the mans arm.-Solomor
began to fear at the rate he going that his steeC
fast taking him into whole nest of bears While
in this predcament, Mr.. Reeds son happened to
take them i'll their journey and settled all uncerain

Sweet feelings of gladness glide,

Went home TO the dear ones all,
And softly opened the garden gate
And softly the door Of the hall:
My mother came out to meet her SON
She kissed me and then she sighed,
And her head fell on my neck as she wept
For the little boy that died.

In the garden where he played;

When the flowers have all decayed:
l shall see his toys and his empty chair,
And the horse he used to ride;
And they will speak with silent speech,
Of the little boy that died.

With her playmates about the door,
And I'll watch the children in their sports
AS never did before;
And if in the group sec child
That's dimpled and laughing eyed

The little boy that died,
We shall go lIome to our Fathers house
To our Fathers house in the skies,
Where the hope of our souls shall have no bligh
Our love no broken ties;
And roam on the banks of the River Of Peace,
And battle in its bissful tide;
And one of the joys of our heaven shall be,
