Who ruined me ere / was born,
Sold every acre, grass or corn,
And left the next heir all forlorn7
Ny Grandfather.
Who said my mother was no nurse;
Aud physicked me and made me worse,
TIL infancy became a eurse7

Who LEFT me in my seventh year,
A comfort to my mother dear,
And Mr.. Pope, the oyerseer2
Ny Father.
Who let me starve TO buy her gin,
Till all my bones came through my skin,
Then called me "ugly little sin J"

And took me home and made me work,
And managed half my meals to shirk7

My Uncle.
Who got me in scrapes an endless score,
And always laid them at my door,
Till many bitter pang bore?

Ny Stepmother.
Who marred my stealthy urchin joys,

Who stroked my head and said, GOOD lad"

Who ever sympathized with grief
Or shared my joy-my sole relief

;. Right from Heaven"

Ia miserable cottage at the bottom Of
bill, two children we're lowering over a
smouldering FIRE. A tempest ragged with
out-a fearful mpest-against which
man and beast were alike powerless.
A poor old miser. much poorer than
these shiyering children-though be had
heaps of money at home-drew bis ragged
cloak about him as he cfouched down at
the threshold of the miserable den. lie
dared not enter, for fear they would asK
paw for shelter, and he could not move
for the storm.
Il am hungry, Nettie.'

pairing, and can't End any
What an awful storm =
Yes: the old tree has blown down. /
guess God took care that it did not fall on
The house. See, il would certainly have
killed us
If He could do that, couldn't He send
us bread p
Il guess SO let's pray Our Father,
and when we come TO that part, stop TIL
We get some bread
So they began; and the miser, crouch
ing and shivering. listened. When they
paused, expecting in their childish faith
10 see some miraculous manifestation, a
human feeling stole into the miser's heart
God had sent some angel to soften it.
He had bought loaf at the village. think
ing it would last him many days; but
the silence of the two little children spoke
louder to him than the voice of many wa
tiers. He opened the door softly, threw
in the loaf, and listened to the wild, eager
cry of delight that came from the half
famished little ones.
1T dropped RICH. from heaven, didn't
it?' questioned the younger.
Yes. / mean to love God forever for
giving us bread because we asked Him.
We'll ask Him every day, won't we ?
Why. l never thought God was SO good,
did you 2
Yes. always thought SO. but l never
knew it before
Let's ask Him to give father work to
do all the time, so we need never be hun
CRY again. He'll do it. I'm sure
The storm passed the miser went
home. A little flower had sprung up in
his heart; it was no longer barren. In
few weeks he died, but not before be had
given the cottage, which was his, to the
poor laboring man. And the little chill
dren felt a sweet aud solemn emotion when
in their mutual devotion they came to
those trustful words-"Give us this day
our daily bread"

ONLy ONE BRICK UPON ANOTHER
Edwin was one day looking at large
building which they were putting up just
opposite bis fathers house. He watched
the workmen from day TO day as they
carried up the brick and mortar and then
placed them in their proper order. His
father said to him
Edwin, you seea to be very much
taken up with the bricklayers pray what
might you be thinking about? Have
you any notion of learning the trade ?"
emo, 2" said Edwin, smiling, +" but l
was just thinking what little thing a
brick is, and yet that great house is built
by laying one brick upon another.
Very true. my boy. never forget it.
Just so it is with all great works. All
your learning is only one little lesson

MARRIED LrFE.-Oh ye husbands and
wives, deceive not one another in small
things nor in great. One little single lie
has, before now, disturbed a whole mar
ried life-a small cause has often great
consequences. Fold not the arms togeth-
er and sit idle. "Laziness is the DEVILS
cushion" Do not run much from home
Ones own hearth is of more worth than
gold. Many marriage begins like a
rosy morning. and then falls away like a
snow wreath. And why Because the
married pair neglect to be as pleasing to
each other after marriage as before. En-
deavor always to please one another; but
at the same time keep God in your
thoughts. Lavish not ali your thoughts
on to-day. for remember that marriage
has ills tomorrow likewise, and its day
after tomorrow. too. Spare. as one may
say, fuel for winter. Consider, We
daughters, what the word "wife" ex-
presses. The married woman is the hus-
bands faith; in her hand be must be able
70 entrust the key Of his heart as well as
the key of his eating room. His honor
and his home are under her keeping-his
well-being in her hand Think of this !
And you. ye sons. be faithful husbands,
and generous fathers of families. Act so
that your wives shall esteem and lore
you.

bob could be accommodated without any ex-
pense. The nice gentleman led Mr.. Watkins
into the alley in the rear Of Hunt & MoseIey's
building, between Monroe and Madison
streets, be went up stairs " to The Office Of bis
friend " with thirty dollars Of Mr.. Watkins
money. The latter gentleman waited in vain
