PLEASE GOD, TAKE GOOD CARE OF OUR
BABY.

BABY.
Dear little Fanny; brown eyed, rosy
checked How we'll her parents loved her;
and her own little heart was full Of love to
them, and to God in Heaven. BY and ty
new claimant to her love appearcd--a
baby brother. And if the heart was brim-
ful Of tenderness before it overhow.d now,
surely: For "Our Baby" was to her the
fairest the rarest and the best Of all that
God had made. None Of her little treasures
were too precious to be lavi>hel on Baby
and kisses from her pure white lips were
showereG thick as rain drops upon the wee
face, the hands, and the dimpled arms of
this "last best gift" Very often at night.
after she had been put to rest in her little
crib, she would rise up look towards her
mothers bed where little Tommy lay and
say-"Mamma, take good care Of Baby and
kiss him good night for me-"
But the "Reaper whose name is DEATH"
smote the loved one, and they buried his
holy in the damp cold ground. Poor
Fanny was bitter mourner, till her moth
or told her again and again that Dadv had
gone to God, which WAS enough for her
trusting heart to know.
A few days afterwards lady came to
see her mothcr-a very unwisc lady, too, I
think, or she never would have tortured
that little heart with such qnestions-antl
she asked Fanny.if she wasn't very sorry
that her little brother was lying under the
ground.
"Mamma says that isn't true.' was the
chilIs reply. 1T wasn't our real baby that
they buried in the grave. The real baby
has gone to ,1od in IIeaven!"
"But God had great many babies there
before. Arcn', you afraid He'll forget to take
good care Of little Tommya
NO" said the child, though with :
trembling hcsitancy-"I lhinl if he had a.
many babies there before. He'll know al
the better how to take care Of ours"
But after the lady went away, Fam,
thought great deal about it, and would
come TO her mother often during the 1lav
and say-"Mamma, you're sure amt you
,ha: God do, sn't ever forget Baby now {?
And that night, when she was lying in he
crib, as usual, her mother heard her say
"Please God take Good care of our Baby
and kiss him good night for me! ~
Sweet trusting Fanny! 1t is not lon
before another little grave was made besid
Baby Tommy's-for his loving sister, to

WALKING IS GooD.-Walk:ng is good
not stepping from shop to shop, or from
neighbor to neighbour" but stretching out
into the country to the freshest fields, and
highest ridges, and quietest lanes. How
ever sullen the imagination may have been
among its griefs at home, here it cheers up
and smiles. However listless the limbs
may have been when sustaining too heavy
heart. here they are braced, and the lag
ging gait becomes bouvnnt again. How.
ever perverse the memory may have been
in presenting all that was agonising, and
insisting on only what cannot he repreved.
here it is at first disregarded and then it
sleeps; and the sleep of memory is the day
in Paradise to the unhappy. The mere
breathing of the cool wind on the face in
the conmonest highway is rest and comfort
which must be felt at such times TO be be-
lieved.

THE WINTER OF THE HEART.

Let it never come TO you. Live 80 that

ble evil-the winter of the heart.
Let no chilling influence freeze up the
fountain Of sympathy and happiness from
its depths-no cold bur,hen settle over its
wi,hered hopes, like snow on the faded
flowers; no rude blasts Of discomfort moan
and skrick through its desolate chambers.
Your life path may lead you amid trials
which for a time seem entirely 10 impede
your progress, and shut out the very light
Of heaven from your anxious gaze.
Penury may take the place of ease and
plenty; your luxurious home NAV he ex-

couch for The straw pallet the rich Wand for
the coarse food Of the poor.-Summer

you to earth, and leave you in fearful dark

| The noble manly boy, the sole hope OF
your declining years. may be taken sudden.
y from you, while your spirit cIings to him
with wild tenacity which even the shadow
Of the tomb can not wholly subdue.
But amid all these sad trials and sorrows,
do not come to the conclusion that nobody
was ever so deeply afflicted us you are, and
abandon every sweet anticipation Of "better
days" in tho unknown future.
Do not lose your faith in human excel.

Do not think YOU are fated to be misera

DO not declare that God has forsaken vol

pole, and placed i, where the bees seemed
thickest near tree, is it they had selected
it as a place where to light. He held it a

soon covered completely with the whole
swarm.
A table had been spread with white
cloth and a hive ready. lie laid his pole
or rather stocking of bees, upon the table,
and then put the hive over while he careful

the bees were all in the hive and placed in
the bee house, and in a short time more
they were at work furnishing their new
home. While they were on the table they
"cleaned house." and :i>lodeed every par.
