THE CRIPPLE.

"James do not 60 near the ma
chinery;..be sure Of that; you might
get caught and killed or crippled for
life in it,"
"I'lI be careful"
These words passed between a
mother and q son, as the latter was
on the point of visiting manufac-
turing establishment where there
was heavy machinery run BY
steam.
When James arrived. at the man.
ufaciory, he was deeply interested
in all that he saw. The pondsrcus
machinery had an attraction for him
that was almost fascinating. He
observed very closely. from the huge
wheel making slow movements on
its axis, to TIE small shafts which
moved so fast as to make it impossi-
bic for him to TO count the revolu-
: tons.
At first he was limid and very
careful, and kept aloof from every
part Of the running works; but grad
ually the feeling of fear passed off:
he became accustomed to the din
and rattle Of the place and began 10
examine things more closely. Fa-
miliarity soon turned TO boldness,
and he began 20 touch and handle
things that came in his way.
Presently he came to a circular
saw which was moving so rapidly.
that to his Impractical eye it seem
ed not to be moving at all. 1t look.
cd very bright and beautiful, and
before any one noticed what he was
about (for the men were not using
the saw Just then) he put out his
hand to touch it. As soon as the
hand came near the saw il was
drawn towards it, and the next mo.
ment, was severed, the saw cutting
it right in two, the fingers and thumb
falling down leaving but a bloody
stump behind.
1t was done so quickly James cod
hardly realize the fact for a moment
but the pain and spouting blood
quickly made him feel the loss, and
he gave wild cry Of pain and fright
which brought the men 10 his aid
They Immediately carried him
home.
Ii was a sad sight for his mother
and James suffered greatly for moi
needing her admonitions. Hi:
wound was gradually healed. but he
remained cripple for life; and SC
dark cloud settled upon his before
bright future. that II often brought
tears to his eyes; but at last he be.
came patient, snd his gentle DISPOSE
ton made him a general favorite.-
He obtained a good education. and
became a successful teacher. Lei
our readers learn lesson from thi.
story.

A CHILD'S TALENT.

OCCUPY with your talents said
Kitty Lee to herself, as she sat thO't-
fully by the fire, one Sabbath after
noon. Papa said in his sermon that
God has given some talent to every
body, and that we ought not 10 bury
il in the earth. ! wonder what mine
is"
"What are you thinking about,
<laugh,erl" said he.
II was thinking Of your sermon.
papa, and what talents u little girl
like me can have"
let US see, Kit; have not you
the power OF speaking kind words.
and doing pleasant things to make
other people happy
do you always use this power
when you have opportunity"
Kitty blushed and hung her head;
for she remembered that only the
day before she had joined her COM
panions at laughing at Julia Blake,
because she went 10 school in a
patched dress, and seemed awkward
and stupid at recitation. She did
not hide her thoughts from her faith.
er, for he always encouraged her to
be frank with him, and now he
taught her that a right desire TO use
her talents would have led her 10
take Julia's part, and to speak en-
coursgingly to her.
81 will try and do better, to-mor-
row. said Kitty; and with this res
oIu,ion in mind, she went 10 school
next day. AT noon, when she saw
Julia, as usual, apartfrom the others
and looking quite friendless she went
kindly to her, with little boquet Of
ilower, which she had picked from
her own garden.
Will you have these, Julia. said
she. and the grateful smile which
lighted up the poor girls face told
Kitty that she lad already done ner
heart good.
Then she talked with her about
her Lessons. and brought up pleasant
subject. ill Julia began TO feel quite
like q new person. She studied that
afternoon with q cheerfulness which
she had not for many Q day, and
won words OF appreciation from the
teacher, which made her smile
again. And all because Kitty Lee,
had spoken kindly to. her; words
which she might have spoken long
before, il she had only thought.
Kitty gave up her accustomed
pIay with the other scholars, and
this cost her some trial, but do you
think she was sorry for this, when
she saw how happy she had made
her little schnolnaie!
