The Last R,oson.--Little Eddy, on his way
to school, frequently loitercI by n ANAL stream
which hc was obliged TO pass, TO witness the
gambols of his payma,es while bathing-the
water being OF sufficient depth in some places
for that purpose. Fearing some accident
might befa him, his me thcr had told him never
to venture near, and in strong terms not to go
into the water. Ono day, however, being
overcome by temptation, and the urgent solc-

/ "Shadrach, Meshach and Abedncgo," was
the answer after some assistance.
"Who put them inY"

sill the holiness OF one who was sure that hc
was right, he cried out:
