The little thread came wavering dowr

reached the outslretched hands that
were waiting for it. Tom held the
ball of string, while his mother tied one
end OF it TO the worsted thread. Now
pull it up, slowly cried she to her hus-
band, and she gradually unwound the
string as the worsted drew it gently up,
At Stopped-the string had reached her
Husband. NOW hold.lhe string fast,
and pull It up, cried she and the string
grew heavy and hard to pull, for Tom
and his mother had fastened the thick
rope to it. They watched it gradual

as the string was drawn higher,
There was but one coil LETT. It had

her husband be able to make use OF
them--would not the terror of the past

Why art thou cast down, o, my sonP
and why art thou disquieted within
me? Hope thou in Godl' She lifted
up her heart to God for hope and
strength. She could do nothing more
for her husband, and her heart turned
to God, and rested on him as on a
rock.
There was a great shout. 'He's
safe, mother, he's sale, cried little Tom,
'Thoust saved me, Mary said her
husband, folding her in bis arms.--
But what ails thee? Thou seem st
