"Help him upr''
It was the exclamation of child
boy returning from school. A fine boy
he was, toe, with bright and happy
face that spoke of beme-Ieze and care
WORTH having. A little fellow had been
fighting, and, overpowered by superior
strength, had fallen in the mud. Others
stood by and saw the sport with laughter,
for the conqueror defeated every attempt
made by the prostrated struggle to rise,
and 1t was then that the manly little fell
low OF whom have spoken cried, aHelp

His tone indignant, his brave, whole
hearted manner seemed to bring the 9TH
ers to reason, and more than one hand
was held ont to. extricate the faIlen.
The thought was uppermost In cur mind
long after that. 'tOhl that shespirt which

our home, laying aside the selfshness
and grossness of our natures, strive to
heip those who are fallen, to aid those
who were suffering, to tighten the care
OF the toil-worn; bounding hearts, happy
faces good deeds, would whiten the fields
OF our souls with thick harvests. The
spirit that, though it may not exult in
the downfall of another; yet looks on
with unsympathizing eye and hands shut
so closely that the knuckies stand cut
like iron; that says, "Let him help him

There are so many closed -fsted
Christians who pray, and talk, and walk
by rule (not Bible rule,) that the faith
of outsiders who judge of goodness
merely by that little light within, is
shaken in all profession, and the whole
hearted, money-giving, man-loving,
church members, of whom there's are q:
noble number, are judged by the narrow
minded, whose pockets are not conyer-
ted if their souls are. We have known
such who refused even to say a good
word for a sufferer, because he had, some
time OF another, long way back, said
some unpalatable word that they never
