But for the stubbornnsss Of one individual the

FLowERs.-Pas down Eighth st. this morn
ing we saw little girl in the sct Of climbing over
fence There were several beautiful flowers
growing in the garden which this fence bounded,
and this little girl had in her hand, rather she
had transferred through the pangs of the fence to
the hands Of another little girl a bunch of these
beautiful flowers which, when she had got over
the fence, she took into her own hands.
These flowers did not belong to this little Qady,
we were about TO say, but we cannot, because we
do not believe that q little lady would have been
guilty of an act like ths) girl, and she knew it,
She was conscious that she was doing wrong-@we
read it in her faceand we are that the silent
monitor, the still small voice, the voice of God
was busy within her bosom, warning aud counsel
ling and urging her not to commit this sin,
But that voice was unheeded-the flowers were
plucked, and she went away with the fruits OF her
sin in her hand. This little girl seemed to fear
that the owner of the flowers would see her. She
forgot that the eye of God was upon her-that
though she might escape the eye of man--that the
eye Of Him who never sumbers nor sleeps, wit
messed the transaction, and that q record Of it is
kept in his book Of remembrance against her. III
this paragraph should meet the eye Of that little
girl, and we hope it may, we besssch her to re-
member wherever she may be--by night or by
day, sleeping or waking" Con SEES Me-"
