lonclcness at home, with no little sor
to pet.
After some persuasion, Tommy knelt
and said-'Our Father, Ive been rea
good ter day; but Helun says | ought
ter be forgiven; so please forgive the
n ifish | might hev done, but couldn't
Forgive US all, specially Helun, fol
bein' so cross to her little bruvvcr, N
not lettin' him play with paints this

rolled open and fixed q reproachful
look on me- Forgive all our naughty
yesterdays, and make us good for
every tomorrow. Bless my dear muv
yer, with no boy to kiss her. That's
all to night
IT Tommy's prayers sound irrever
ent or self righteous, he does not mean
to be so, and they are at least sin,
ccre. If he prays more earnestly for
the recovery Of lost toy than for
pardon from sin; if he confesses virtues
as freely as faults, perhaps such peti-
tlons are as acceptable to Him who
made the childish heart as those peni-
tcntial formulas which are so often lip
service. Some day, we hope, Tom
will understand these things better
He has a great desire to trade but
now is obliged to close each bargain
with the proviso, IF my muvver is
willin';' for Tom went out one day, ra-
dant in the glory of lovely new cap,
and taking with him fairy balloon
and rocking horse of his own height
Soon he WAS home again, with all
these treasures gono forever, and hap
py in possessing in their stead much
battered old beaver hat, which COW
cred his head and neck like an extin-
gaisher.
What may be Tommy's future, we
cannot guess. If the child is father
of the man, it seems probable that he
will become 'an active member Of So
ciety.' Whether or no his name shall
ever ring through the land with honor,
we hope he may be the noblest work
of God an honest, true, and good
man.

There was the letter, sealed, directed.

not always get even stamp. Here
was half written letter, commenced

and loving hand which hoped SO soon
to finish it. Here was scrap OF pa
triotic poetry, and inspired lyrics care
fully copied on sheets of paper tinted
with red, white and blue. Here were
photographs of the favorte Generals,
and photographs of the dear ones at
home. Here were letters of heart
breaking love, and loyalty to duty, and
holy faith and cheer, written at home;
and here was the Testament given him
by the woman he loved best, soiled and
worn. For the American soldier, fhe
rarely read it, still he would carry his
Testament as q dear tailsman to save
him from harm. Here were those me-
mentos of brave, living, loving life
gone out. They never came back!
The mourners at home do not all know
where they fell, or whether they were
buried To one unfamiliar with the
soldiers life, these relics might mean
little. To me they mean all love, all
suffering, all heroism. look on them,
and again seem to see the long lines of
men file past, dust covered and warm,
on their way to battle. l see tho
roads of Virginia shimmering in the
white heat, lined with exhausted men
lying down to sleep and to die, after
the last defeat, hear the cry of the
wounded, the moan of the dying, see
the halffillcd grave, the unburied dead.
All the awful reality of war comes back.

The Ship of Death.

Since the time when the Ancient
Mariner told the terrible tale of the
curse laden ship with her crew Of ghast
ly corpses, no more thrilling story of
the sea has been related than that of
the whale ship Diana, that recently
dritted into one Of the Shetland Is
lands
A year ago she left the Shetlands on
Il whaling voyage to the arctic regions,
having on board fifty men. From that
time nothing moro was heard of her
The friends of those on board became
alarmed Money was raised and pre-.
miums offered TO the first vessel that
would bring tidings Of the missing
ship, but all to no avail. Hope was
almost abandoned.
On the I'd of April the people near
Rona's Voc, in one of the Shetland
Isles, were startled at seeing the ghast-
ly wreck of ship sailing into the har-
Dor. Battered and ice-crushed, sails
and cordage cut away, boats and spars
cut up for fuel in the terrible Arctic
winter, her decks covered with dead
and dying, the long lost Diana sailed
in like a ship from the Deadman's s
Land. Fifty men sailed out of Ler.
wick in her on a bright May morning
last year. All of the fifty men came
back on her on the second of April,
this year; the same, yet how different.
Ten men, of whom the captain was
one, lay stiffened corpses on the deck !;
thirty-fve lay helpIessly sick, and
some dying; two retained sufficient
strength to creep alott, and the other
three crawled fecbly about the deck
The ship was boarded by the islanders,
and, as they climbed over the bul-
warks, the man Mt the wheel fell faint
ing from cNSitemcnt; one of the sick
died as he lay, his death being an
nounced by the fellow occupant of his
berth feebly moaning, Take away this
dead man. On the bridge of the YES
sci lay the body cf the captain, as it
had lain for four months, with nine of
his dead shipmates by his side, all de-
Gently laid out by those who soon ex
pected to share their tato.
The survivors could not bear to sink
the bodies of their comrades into the
sea, but kept them so that when the
last man died the fated ship that had
been their common home should be
their common tomb. The surgeon OF
the ship worked faithfully to the last,
but cold, hunger, scuivy and dysente-
ry were too much for him. The brave
old Captain was the first victim, and
died blessing his men. Then the
others fell, one by one, until the ship
was tenanted only by the dead and dy
ing. One night more at sea would
have left the Diana floating coffin
Not one of the fifty would have lived
to tell the ghastly tale.

What as a Tdre'-A father living
near Cincinnati, was one evening
learning his little boy to recite his Sun
day school lesson. 1t was from the
fourteenth chapter of Matthew, where
in is related the parable of the mali
cious individual who went about SOW
ing tares, &c.
What is tare?' asked the anxious
parent.
! Johnny hesitated.
Tell me, my son, what tare is.'
You had EN- said Johnny, casting
down his eyes and wriggling his feet.
Had 'emp said the astonished pa
rent, opening his eyes rather wide,
:why what do you mean, Johnnyp
When you didn't come home for
three days last week, said Johnny, Il
heard mother tell Aunt Susan that you
was off on tare'
The Sunday school lesson was bro't
to an abrupt close, and Johnny, the
cunning little rogue, was sent off to
bed.

DepraVity.

An extraordinary case of youthful
Idepravity has occurred at Saginaw
City, Mich. A little girl, aged seven
years, named Mary, while going down
street, was met by girl named Eliza,
aged eleven years The elder child
kept the younger in chat till they had
wandered as far as the shipyard, where
no human being was in sight. When
there, Eliza induced Mary TO take off
her hat, cloak, apron and net, the child
obeying her with a confiding look that
would have changed the purpose of
one old in crime. But Eliza had only
half done her work. The clothes were
now in her possession; but the owner
of them yet remained in the way. She
induced little Mary to stand on piece
of ice which fioated in the water of the
dock, and gathering up the clothes, she
ran away leaving the child to perish.
The ice soon yielded under the child,
who slipped off into the water, and
clung for life to the cold edges of her
piece of ice. Providentially, n man
rowed within sight and rescued her,
and from her statement the precocious
murderess was found out and arrested,
at her school, with the stolen goods
upon her.
