The ENPTY CRADLK.-Every fold can
count u missing lamb. and there are few
homes where ere has been no mourning
over vacant chair. 1t is hard to part with
the darlings of the nursery. Affection clings
| to them fondly, and is reluctant to loose its
hold. bu, the All-Wlse Father deals tent
erly with his children, and removes some of
| their treasures to heaven, that their affec-
tions may follow. Many weeping parents
will recognize their own experience in the
following paragraph from an exchange:
"The death of little child is to the
mothers heart like the dew on plant from
which bud had Just perished The plant
lifts lis heal in fres shened greenness to the
morning light ; SO the mo,her's soul gath
ers from the sorrow through which she has
passed. a fresh Frightening of her heavenly
hopes.
| "a she bends over the empty cradle, and
brings her sweet infant before her, q ray OF
divine light is in the cherub face. 1t IS her
son still. bu: with the seal OF Immortality
on his brow. Sac feels that heaven was the
only atmosphere where her precious flower
could unfold without spot or blemish. aud
she would not recall the lost. Butt he an
niversary Of his departure seems to bring
his spiritual presence nesr her. She in
dulges in the tender grief which soothes like
an opiate in pain, all the hard passages and
cares in lite. The world to her is no long
er to her is no longer filled with human
love anil hope in the future. so glorious with
heavenly hope and joy; she has treasures
of happiness which the worldly uuchasten-
ed heart never conceived. The bright fresh
flowers. with which she has decorated her
room. the apartment where her infant died,
are memories of the far brighter hopes now
dawning on her day dream. She thinks of
the glory and beauty Of the New Jerusalem
where the little foot will never find a thorn
among the flowers, to render q shoe neces-
sary. Nor will pillow be wanted for the
dear heat reposlng on the breast Of q kind
Saviour. And she knows that her infant
Is there in that eternal world Of bliss.
She has marked one passage in that book
to her empha,icallv the word of life now
lying closed on the toilet table which she
daily ,eads:
. Suffer little children to come unto me,
ana forbid them not, for oi such is the
Kingdom Of heaven
